Questions
1. Does the selected and sketched pattern resemble any known asterism or official constellation that we use today? If so, which one(s)?
Part of Aquila.
2. Did the culture in this section have a similar mythology (e.g. dogs, hunter, boat, etc.)?
Not sure.
3. If yes, describe any material differences in either the figure's star pattern as imagined by the culture, and / or the difference in the mythology.
It is just 3 stars of Aquila.
4. Is it likely that this star group, for this culture, may have been influenced by older or adjacent cultures? If so, whom?
Yes. This makes sense to be 3 people in a race, or along a path. I found this asterism interesting.
5. If, for this culture, this group was significant for calendar, crop, or social events, describe what was involved, and how the timing or the appearance of the group was important or useful.
Probabaly not.
