… idol 42. cannot be exactly localised [page number: 125] With great probability it was however found in earth from the demolition of the stone floor, which is why it has been placed here in Petra II. It is extremely primitive in its appearance. The other idol (27) is considerably more advanced in its execution and can with great certainty be placed in Petra III. The table shows that in Petra I only implements of a very primitive kind occur, with flint as the main material. Flint continues into the next period. New implement forms are awls and pins of bone. In Petra III the flints are decreasing. On the other hand the stone vessels are numerous. Also, painted ornaments now appear. The stone bead shows in its technical execution great similarity with these.
