Comparison of two mummy labels. The label on the left (HO163) has a neat finish with a flattened inscribed surface, clean ends and an outline with a chamfer (BNU Strasbourg). The label on the right (F1949/4.2) has traces of sawing and a knot is present. Also, the corner cuts are different, and the left end is not straight.Credit: International Journal of Wood Culture (2023). DOI: 10.1163-27723194-bja10017

Hmm, put those two pieces of wood together and you’ve got an ancient hocky stick.

Did they have any SUVs that contribute to Global Climate Change? Or maybe SUHs (Sports Utility Horses)! 🤓
