Description:
Flat wood fragment of brown color with three smooth edges and one splintered edge (one of the two smaller edges). Two holes are bored through side by side near the small smooth end. Above the holes two dot and circle designs are carved, on on top of the other. The design consists of a dot circumscribed by three concentric rings, and some of the indentations are filled in with dirt. The circle far from the holes has a gash running throughout as a result of the splintered edge. Possibly used as a labelling tag.
