… the idol 42 cannot be located exactly In all probability, however, it was found in earth from the demolition of the stone floor, which is why it has been placed in Petra II.

The table shows that in Petra I only implements of very primitive kind occur, with flint as the main material. The flint continues into the next period. New implement forms are awls and needles of bone. In Petra III the flints are on the decline. On the other hand, stone vessels are numerous. Also ornaments now appear. The stone awl shows in its technical execution great similarity to these.
