FS2115 Palatki Roasting Pit Panel 27

Similar model to earlier models. This shows a 15 x 10 cm area with multiple cross hatched snake like symbols that are believed to be Archaic or Early Archaic in origin. The width of each symbol is less than 1 cm. The cross hatched incised lines are precisely done on very fine (soft) clastic fracture full. This material is progressivly being eroded by exfoliation with the loss of these petroglyphs. The model, compared to previous models shows an additional small percentage loss. It also shows the nature of the native Schenebly Hill Sandstone (light brown center and left) with a small area of iron enriched sandstone typically located between the sandstone and fracture fill. Several different very thin layers (total less than 2 mm) can be seen with a small area with remnant red paint towards the right. A somewhat different style (wider) very faint snake motif can be seen on the far right of the model
