Ghassulian Culture c.4400- 3500 B.C. A rare Neolithic period carved bone awl excavated many years ago in Teleilat-Ghassul in the Eastern Jordan valley and from an old Suffolk collection. Expertly fashioned from a small animal leg bone, elongate triangular in form with a wider gripping end and a finely worked and polished Trihedral awl point with a still very sharp point. This little awl would likely have been used for piercing stitch holes in animal hides for making clothing. Bone now hard and petrified with fine sand particles within the pores of the bone from its many millennia buried in the sands. Totally intact and in very good condition with and excellent tip, a rare and unusual prehistoric bone tool, 44mm long x 18mm at widest x 10mm at thickest
