Map OF FAYUM DESERT.
The dotted line shows approximately the shore of the ancient lake; F F, implementiferous spots;
R, ruins of Qasr el Sagha.
The implements from the flint mines in the Eastern Desert are of a
cherty material, which occurs in masses and nodules of such shape and
consistency as to be suitable for making them, and they are found
only in that vicinity. Examples may now be seen in most of the
museums on the four continents from both these localities, as also of
those discovered by the writer in Somaliland. It is indeed probable
that peculiar types discovered in different parts of the world have
been evolved through the local material. For example, in the paleo-
lithic workshops in the Madras Province of India, which I discovered
FLINT IMPLEMENTS OF THE FAYUM. 749
with the help of Mr. Bruce Foote and Mr. Macleod, the material in
the shape of quartzite nodules is suitable for that type of implement.
Specimens of these also are now to be seen in nearly all museums.
At Banda (United Provinces of India) were procured numbers of
polished axes set up in shrines, ete.
Besides the implements shown in the accompanying plates, there
were found in the Fayum disks about 10 centimeters in diameter, and
scrapers, the paleolithic ‘* racloir” of de Mortillet’s Le Préhistorique.@
The implements here figured are soon likely to become dispersed by
presentation among different museums. The number discovered was
very large, as areus of surface were laid off systematically and many
Arabs were employed. They are remarkably quick at finding small
objects in the sand. The selection is therefore more or less repre-
sentative.
There are also two types not figured and peculiar to the Fayum,
all the specimens of both series having been presented to the Cairo
Museum.
The first is an unsightly, irregulariy shaped, flat knife, pointed at
both ends, rather rough, and with concave angles for fish-scaling.
Not uncommon.
The second is a flat knife of a round and sometimes of an oval shape,
but having somewhere in its circumference a well-marked, carefully
worked, re-entrant angle or concave edge. The shape varies so much
that a complete representative series would be out of the question.
Figs. 124, 125, 127, 128, 129, partly resemble them.
Many of the implements figured resemble some of de Mortillet’s
and are classified as later paleoliths of the Solutréen epoch, corre-
sponding to the Laugerie-Haute epoch of Evans—the apogee in the
making of stone implements, as de Mortillet remarks. The color of
the material varies greatly.

DESCRIPTION OF PLATES.
Prare 1.
Thin knives, some of unusual narrowness, finely worked by compression on both
sides. Nos. 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 have for their bases the natural outside of the stone; No. 10
is beautifully flaked by compression.
@ Edition of 1900, p. 170,
150 we. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1904.
PLATE 2.
Arrowheads, many of new anu nitherto unknown types. Nearly all are exquis-
itely worked along the edges. No. 27 was found with 19 similar ones in a heap,
partly covered by blown sand and may be the contents of the same quiver. Nos. 27;
28, 29 are about one-fourth inch in thickness, and are of a light pink color.
PLATE 3.
Further types of arrows of unusually large size and varied shapes. Some resem-
ble examples from Ireland.
PLATE 4.
Nos. 97 to 107 are additional types of arrows. No. 107 must be compared with the
Solutréen javelin heads or ‘‘Pointes 4 cran’’ figured in Le Préhistorique (p. 181)
and with those in Plates 7 and 8. Nos. 108 and 109 are of crystal, the only examples
not included in my discovery. They are in the Cairo Museum.
PLATE 5.
Nos. 112, 114, 116, 117, 120 are flat on the underside and show the conchoidal frac-
ture or bulb of percussion. The rest are worked on both sides; having a natural
butt end, however, they might resemble de Mortillet’s Mousterian or middle-paleo-
lithic pointes 4 main (p. 163). ;
PLATE 6.
No, 122 is one of a large number of bent flakes, polished and worked to a scraping
edge on one side and peculiar to the Fayum. Nos. 123, 125, 126 another Fayum
type. They resemble adze blades for working wood and hollowing out trees for
canoes. Nos. 124, 125, 127, 128, 129 are knives with a cutting edge all round and an
angle for scraping ‘‘grattoirs concaves.”’ No. 130 exactly resembles de Mortillet’s
‘‘double grattoir Solutréen’’ in the Musée de Saint Germain. These are not exclu-
sively paleolithic. Evans figures one from Bridlington. No. 131 is one of two
implements found which resemble a gravel-drift paleolith.
PEATE 7:
These implements resemble the ‘‘ pointes en feuille de laurier’”’ figured in Le Pré-
historique on pages 181, 627, and 629. They belong to the later paleoliths or Solu-
tréen epoch. These forms drift insensibly into the ‘‘Pointes en feuille de saule”’
and ‘‘pointes dcran’’ of thesame epoch. Nos. 159 and 160 resemble the remarkable
crescent-shaped implements on Plate 8, but are straight.
Puate 8.
Nos. 172, 173, large crescent-snaped ‘‘pointes a cran,’’ use unknown. No. 1781s a
‘lame pointue.’’ Nos. 174 to 183 are peculiar Fayum arrowheads or javelin heads
called ‘‘ pointes 4 cran’’ and are somewhat waterworn and polished by friction and
use. No. 184 in Plate 8 to 198 on Plate 9 are saws, now thought by M. Maspero and
others to have been fixed in wooden handles like a sickle. Some are not toothed,
and No. 191 is a rare form. No.182 is a saw, not toothed, but probably equally
effective.
PLATE 9.
Figures 194 to 198 are the continuation of the series of saws snown on Plate 8.
No. 198 strongly resembles the implement on Plate 11 (No. 246), but the latter 1s very
‘arefully worked and not tovthed. Nos. 199 and 200 are implements purchased
from Arabs and were apparently reworked by them to present a more salable appear-
FLINT IMPLEMENTS OF THE FAYUM. tol
ance. The patination, which is sometimes extraordinary, proves their antiquity.
Nos. 201 to 213, whether arrow or javelin heads, are of rare, varied, and practically
unfamiliar types. No. 214 is unique.
PLATE 10.
These are large and remarkable forms of arrows.
PuaTeE 11.
Nos. 237 and 238 are rare form:, of which one example was found and figured by
Beadnell. No. 239 is unique and is perhaps a ‘‘grattoir,’? combined with a borer,
like the ‘“‘poingon Solutréen,’’ Nos. 243, 244, 245 are butt ends of similarones. Nos.
241 and 242 are somewhat similar to each other, and have therefore been placed
together. They were probably used for boring wood, as the cutting edge is worked
cnly on one side. No. 240 has the concave part at the end very carefully worked.
Nos. 246 and 249 are flakes beautifully worked into knives. Larger examples of
these, struck off asa single flake from the block and delicately serrated, are shown
in the Cairo Museum. No. 250 is a knife with rounded ends.
PLATE 12.
An example of No. 251 was found and figured by Beadnell in the publication
previously referred to. No. 252 is a portion of a long serrated spearhead. No. 253
consists of parts of an armlet, similar to those discovered in Wadi esh-Sheikh, and
figured in the Liverpool Museum Bulletin, as well as in Read’s Guide to the Stone
Age, published by the British Museum. Another example may be found in the
Cairo Museum. No. 256 is a spearhead, finely worked in purple flint with white
patinations. No. 257 is the same. No. 258 resembles the implements on Plate 11,
but is flat on the underside, as also is No. 254. No. 259 was picked up under a large
rock by a Berber boy. M. Maspero says that these are now regarded as sacrificial
knives, and they are so labeled in the Cairo Museum. The serrations pointing for-
ward to keep the handle in place, are especially to be noted.
