ARTIFACT COMPARISON: FORENSIC REVIEWArtifacts A–07 and A–08 were recovered from separate locations and contexts, with no known connection between the sites at the time of discovery. Initial classification treated the items as unrelated.
Subsequent side-by-side examination revealed recurring visual structures across both materials.
These include:
Repeated human postures
Consistent restraint configurations
Similar spatial framing of figures relative to surrounding structures
The similarities persist despite clear differences in medium, age, and manufacturing process.
