Parque Nacional del Este, Dominican Republic
Artifact Inventory
Wooden Piece
PNE-01-A-0080
Design: The piece has a small knobby head on
one end. The center section is worn and thin. The end flares out a
bit. The end portion of the piece appears to have been broken off.
There is a very small hole on one side towards the end of the piece.
(This hole is small in comparison to the holes on the other two
club/hatchets found earlier). This hole does not go through the entire
wooden piece.
Size: Length: 36.2cm, Greatest Width: 3.2cm and
Smallest Width: 1.9cm
Condition: The piece appears to have been a
club or hatchet handle similar in size and shape to artifacts
MLA-UW1-0018 and 0019. However, this club or hatchet is much more worn
and deteriorated. Wood grains are apparent.
Color: Dark brown
