Early Medieval stone gaming board
A flat stone fragments incised with lines possibly for gaming boards found ontop of rectangular structure 618
Description; The surface is decorated with shallow incised lines made with a knife. Some make a grid of squares that may be for a game board, although that side of the stone if fractured away meaning we can't see the full grid. Intersecting the corner of the square grid are four long straight diagonal lines of unclear purpose.
The stone was placed ontop of the quartz pebble layer on structure 618 with the carvings facing upwards.
