Description: | Lid from a wooden box; the box does not survive, but when excavated it contained an infant burial and a vase. One side of the lid is ruled for use as a game board, with red lines painted on a white surface, in three rows of ten. The lid has three pegs at one end, which would have fit into the end of the box, and a handle at the other end. The remains of ancient string around the handle show indicate that the lid would have been tied shut.
