Here I come back after a year of hiatus and what do I see, the F word right on cue.

Hi Jim, Gonzalo, all, nice to see the flyssa still racking brains and prodding the imagination. Good discussion!
I've always had the impression that the flyssa pommel looks like a camel head wouldn't be far off in the area.

About the archaeological record, I've been spending a good bit of time reading through every French archaeological review on Algeria, and I found nothing about old Kabyle material culture. What I've seen so far focuses almost exclusively on the Classical period and Roman ruins. Will keep looking in time...

All the best,
Emanuel
