Notes on items 2014-03-30 rAH    Once again, the damage to this representation is so extreme as to render it unidentifiable. It is doubtful that this representation is humanoid. It appears that only one, perhaps two appendages are missing. Orientation might help with the identification, but the angles chosen for the photography do not reveal diagnostic detail and provide little clue as to the proper way to view this object. Thus, I am unable to provide an identification at this time. It would have been interesting if the humanoid identification could have been established, as this representation was recovered in K34 and near, I gather, humanoid figurine i8.
   The Munsell color "light brown" is notable.
   A protocol should be established for photographing objects that are, for all practical purposes, nondescript. This requires some thought. [Input: Y401JW.j]
