Description

Artifact SI.02.843.033 is a wooden plank associated with a toolbox. The toolbox was originally built into the stairs and was accessed by lifting a decorated stair tread. The plank is simple and appears roughly cut. There are no nail holes present. When discovered, the toolbox contained a collection of "treasures", suggesting the presence of a child onboard. These objects included a checker, some uniquely shaped pieces of wood, clusters of conifer needles, and a quartz pebble.
