Archeological Findings ReportBy: Mrs. Thompson
My Hypothesis: I think that this is a statue of a woman. It appears to be made out of clay or stone. I think this statue was made by artisans and used for display purposes.
Archeologists Hypotheses: Archeologists believe this is a teracotta statue of a woman wearing lots of jewelry and a headress.
