Stone tool

lithic091119

This is a stone tool (or a fragment?) found at a tell in Syria. I'm not a specialist on the stone tools so I can't identify the age from this. It's impossible to carry these cultural properties then I returned them back to the site next day. Sketched on the 19th of November, 2009.
