It contains two texts, one in cuneiform and another Semitic language of possible Sinaitic extraction cuneiform influences.

"Sinaitic extraction cuneiform" ... say, what?

According to the symbols used one would be before an object that evidently shows itself to be from the transitional period between ideographical writing and cuneiform.

Um, cuneiform is ideographic (like Chinese writing). What it isn't is phonetic-consonantal (at least not originally), like some of the early Canaanite (Sinaitic?) adaptations, adaptations that many scholars believe were the first halts and half-starts toward alphabetic scripts.

Chronologically, this leads us to the 3500/3000 B.C., the Sumerian/ Akkadian period.

Yeah. Only no. Because that would massively predate any of the Canaanite-Semitic adaptations. It would also massively predate any of the Meso-American civilizations (Incas, Aztecs, Olmecs etc., etc.).

From a history-of-the-written-word point of view, this article is really screwed up.

The time period coincides nicely with Sitchin's date of 3113 B.C.. , when Thoth (Quetzalcoatl, the Winged Serpent) "chose an abode in the New Realms -- in Mesoamerica." "The Lost Realms," page 268.

Google search for quipu, which is what that "cuneiform" pattern may resemble. Assuming the artifact isn't a modern fake.
