"Lower Wetlands" vat
The diverse contents of preservative vat, found in a home built for a single permanent resident in a mid-sized settlement.
LPA209.227.1a-t Sketches on unidentified material (thin; paper-like), believed to be of plant-life, or possibly anatomical drawings.
LPA209.227.02 Unbound diary-like folio, containing passages variously translated as ‘thoughts’ or ‘growths'; text is notable for the nascent instability of its first-person narrator. See LPA186.480.26 for comparison.
LPA209.227.26 A collection of written observations on the landscape of the Wetlands, with particular attention paid to interspecies life cycles. Similar (though vaguer and less didactic) to LPA419.440.26.
LPA209.227.67 Mounds of soil and branches found accumulated at the bottom of the vat; while remnants of planetary life are often found in the vats, the size and shape of these mounds was considered sufficient to warrant its own collection number (though the significance of the mounds remains unknown).
LPA209.227.07 Bone fragments of undetermined local species.
LPA209.227.73a-p Fragments of a variety of plant species, deliberately placed between thin sheets of the same material used to produce the sketches mentioned above. No specimen is longer than a few inches, and some are exquisitely delicate preservations measuring less than a quarter of a inch in length. Due to the fragility of these artefacts, researchers have not been able to fully explore the vat’s contents, and there may be more specimens than the 16 recovered thus far.
