Description: Pebble, irregular ellipsoid in shape, with a wide lower
end. The upper, narrower end bears two perforated suspension holes. The larger one,
ellipsoid in section and having a diameter of 1.6–1.9 cm, is not completely
horizontally drilled but is rather obliquely downward. The smaller hole is
opened asymmetrically on a higher point; it is circular in section and has a
diameter of 1.1 cm. The one surface is well polished, the other is coarse and is
covered with sediments. It probably comprised some kind of stone weight that
could be used either for weaving (loom-weight) or for fishing activities (fishing
net weight).
