Fabric Description Stone
Description A large stone fragment preserves the complete height divided into three distinct, worked layers. The top layer is widest and each subsequent layer is narrower. There is a grooved line in between the bottom and middle layers that is 0.010 m in width. The top layer's finished corner extends the furthest, and the middle layer's finished corner edge recedes diagonally to the width of the bottom layer. The bottom edge of the finished side is finished. The top face of the stone is rectangular in shape, and the preserved finished edges are 0.78 m by 0.036 m. On one end there is a triangular feature that extends out from the middle layer. The triangular is roughly isosceles in shape. The longest leg is . Underneath the triangular protrusion is a hole with a diameter of 0.041 m. Two sides of the worked stone are unfinished.
