Leaf-shaped knives may sometimes be differentiated from spears by having a slightly sinuous, recurved point (fig. 10, 4), a Harappan peculiarity hardly ever found outside the Indus civilization, although one example is reported from Hissar III in north-eastern Iran.⁵ The appearance of a hafted knife is summarily indicated by a tiny graffito on a potsherd from the Great Granary (pl. XXIVc).
