Description

Three archaeological objects are photographed on a pale card with handwritten labels and an arrow. At upper left is a flat, irregular dark piece with a corroded surface. At upper right, a coiled basket base holds grey lumps, with loose fibres trailing from its edge, and a dark fragment with a crusted grey surface lies below centre, with an arrow pointing to its interior.
