Terracotta shard from Wisconsin tablet site, third perspective..
As you might see, in the upper left corner; three symbols. Certainly distinguishable is the symbol ‘u’, appears, with the ‘boat’ ideogram. Preceding the symbol for ‘u’ is the first character shaped like the letter ‘C’. Quite obvious…is the raised relief of the outline of a woman in a long skirt with outstretched arms. Again, I ask; could this be the ‘Snake Goddess”. Will it positively date this piece and the Wisconsin tablet? AND… what does the obtrusive “S”, in the middle; mean? Is it an S? What you see is what I found. Not tricks, no illusions. I invite you to come and see them and the other pieces.
I’m not going to pretend to translate, just show anyone willing to view this piece; there is more to discover at this site.
Please present your arguments, I can only tell you where I unearthed them, not who or why they were made.

Terracotta shard found at Wisconsin tablet site
This shard was found at the same site as the Wisconsin tablet. There appears to be five legible symbols/characters of which may or may not be of the Minoan culture.
You decide. Most noticeable is the raised relief of the outline, of what appears to be the figure of a person in a long skirt and with outstretched arms. Could this be the ‘Snake Goddess” deity of the Minoan culture? And what of the ‘S’ symbol above the figure? Of the other three raised relief symbols, there is clearly the symbol for ‘u’ and the ideogram for ‘boat’. Not clear in this photo, I will post a much clearer photo very soon. Again, the time span for these symbols to be used in unison, gives way for deducing as well as speculation. Rest assure this, too; came from previously disturbed ground, at a construction site from 1962. All this in an area of 6X8 feet and a depth of 2 feet. But my blueberry bushes will thank me for removing this from their roots.
If Rita could please post the third photo of this shard, which is a better perspective; it gives a clearer view of the other symbols in the upper left corner of the shard. Thank you Rita. You are quite marvelous and very indulging.
James
