Prov nr 6 (Sample No. 6) Analysis Report

This document is a laboratory analysis report for 'Sample No. 6,' which was collected on July 11, 1946, in Riksby, Stockholm, and received by FOA,1 on July 12, 1946. The report notes that the sample was not accompanied by any written correspondence. The object is described as being approximately the size of a fist and composed of a slag-like material. Parts of the object are grey-stained by soil, while other sections exhibit a layered, shale-like structure that is grey-black in color and easily cleaved. A different portion of the object is brick-red, easily worked with a knife, and appears to consist of burnt brick. A microscopic examination revealed several organic features within the object's cavities, including a thin membrane, an insect pupa, cocoon-like tissues devoid of insect remains, and root fibers from grass or similar vegetation that had penetrated deep into the object. Some smaller parts of the sample were weathered and could be easily broken down into small flakes with a needle. The report concludes that these findings indicate the object had been present at the location where it was found for a significant amount of time.
