If I were out excavating an archaeological site and found this item, I might joke that it is a UFO - an "unidentified ferrous object" (with ferrous meaning an object containing iron). As you might guess from the rusty color of this artifact, this object definitely contains its fair share of iron!
The crescent-shaped object has a somewhat pointed end bending up at a 90-degree angle from the flat portion of the plate. It also has five rectangular holes pierced along its outer edge.
Do you know what this object is? As always, post your best guess in the comments section on the blog or on our Facebook page.
And - speaking of archaeology - be sure to stop by the museum to take a look at the artifacts excavated by our archaeology campers in early June! They are on display in a case near the front desk of the Museum. Hope to see you soon!
