Spine — 3899

Spine 3899 is a small, limestone artifact measuring approximately 10 cm in length and 5 cm in width. Its surface features a series of intricate, curved marks that resemble a spine or a comb. The object's surface is weathered, suggesting that it has been buried for an extended period. Initial examinations suggest that Spine 3899 dates back to the Early Dynastic Period (c. 2900-2350 BCE), a time of significant cultural and economic growth in Sumeria.
