2002-09-20 aP uncertain clay artifact [Input: -MX12-99.j]
Description (summary) 2002-09-20 aP Clay piece appears like an anthropomorphic shape with a round torso and nubs for the arms, no head. The thickness increases at the bottom and rounds off. [Input: -MX12-99.j]
2018-03-15 yM fragment of an anthropomorphic figurine. It might have been photographed upside down and what we can see here as the top part is actually the bottom half. If we assume that this is the upper half, we do not have a view that shows the area between the two knobs in order to see if there is a breakage where the head is supposed to be. Moreover, the smoothness of the edges and the little depression between the two knobs suggests that there is no breakage, hence what we have is the bottom half. The two knobs are flattened but then the body starts getting thicker, taking a rectangular flat shape with no markings or indicators. [Input: ZK226yM.j]
