HAR KARKOM SITES 300-399
HK/300Coordinates: 129.3/962.3
Description: Remains of campsites on the flat top of a hill. There are 3 groups, respectively 2, 3 and
4 hut floors of MP pattern.
Finds: Sporadic flints.
Periods MC: MP?.
Site typology: Campsite.
HK/301aCoordinates: 124.5/962.2
Description: On the extreme southern peak of the Karkom appendix, 4 built platforms, with a wall
60-80cm high and composed by 3 rows of large stones. These platforms are filled in
with smaller stones and are flat on top. They do not look like standard tumuli. They are
based upon circles of flat stones visible all around forming a sort of basement 30-40cm
larger than the structure itself. On top of each platform, the stones show signs of very
strong burning and are in a state of complete erosion. In places they turned into
concrete. This isolated peak has a very broad landscape. It dominates the eastern side
of this site, there is the entire Paran desert and on the western side, the central Sinai: a
unique topographical situation with a bird's eye view of the landscape. 202 m
northwest there is a heap of stones which appears as modern and may be a
topographical triangulation point. Near the internment platform, a small circle of
stones is likely to mark the emplacement of a fireplace.
Finds: Sporadic BAC flints and 2 semi-fossilised bones.
Periods MC: BAC.
Site typology: Fireplace(?), heaps of stones, platforms.

HK/317Coordinates: 122.8/967.6
Description: Large rock shelter halfway up the mountain slope. It measures 37 m long and 5 m deep
and contains several stone structures. Among them is a well preserved stone-built
storeroom (ISL); toward the base of the shelter is a stone circle with a diameter of 3.5
m Besides the large shelter is a smaller shelter with a storeroom constructed of dry
stone (ISL). The slope below yielded LP and BAC flints.
30 m north, close to the terrace, is a structure made of mud and stone, 3 m x 1.4 m
(ISL). Also remains of a low wall and in the little side wadi agricultural terracing. The
entire site is covered by compressed and stratified dung.
Finds: Flint; Pottery.
While the LP flints may have fallen down from the terrace, the recovery of BAC flints
in the immediate surroundings of the shelter, may indicate that it was also visited in
the BAC period. 2 small soundings of m 1.00x0.50 revealed the following stratigraphy:
Sounding I: (Inside the circle of stones)
The stratum of dung from an area of m 1x5 has been removed. In the sounding the
remains of a hearth was found. A thin sandy layer separates 2 layers of dung. The third
stratum consists of fine straw that has been intertwined, achieving a thickness of
approximately 2 cm. The following stratum is composed of dung and mud with stones.
All the deposits here are likely to be quite recent. The fifth stratum is composed of
sterile sediment, which consists of fine strongly compressed aeolian material. This
stratum varies in thickness between 3cm and 9cm and rests on the rock. No findings of
material culture.
Sounding II: (Near the circle of stones)
Stratum of dung resting on a stratum of chalky stones probably the result of a
landslide. Under these strata are the remains of a hearth that has been hardened by coal
intermingled with calcareous insertions. The traces indicate a compact concrete,
practically fossilised, grey-bluish concave level. It is likely to be quite old. A sample of
the hearth has been removed for analysis.
