===Additional texts=== In addition to the petroglyphs mentioned above, there are a few other very short uncatalogued texts that may be rongorongo. Fischer reports that "many statuettes reveal {{lang|rap|rongorongo}} or {{lang|rap|rongorongo}}-like glyphs on their crown." He gives the example of a compound glyph, [[Image:Rongorongo mo'ai pakapaka.png|x20px|The rongorongo glyph on the {{lang|rap|mo{{saltillo}}ai pakapaka}}]], on the crown of a {{lang|rap|mo{{saltillo}}ai pakapaka}} statuette.<ref>Fischer 1997:543</ref>{{refn|Or perhaps {{lang|rap|mo{{saltillo}}ai pa{{saltillo}}apa{{saltillo}}a}}. Catalog # 402-1, labeled ''моаи папа,'' in the St Petersburg museum. Although this compound of glyph '''02''' {{Roro|002|20}} inside '''70''' {{Roro|070|20}} is not otherwise attested, linked sequences of '''70.02''' are found, for example in '''Ab6''', and it is formally analogous to other infixed compounds of glyph '''70'''.|group="note"}} Many human skulls are inscribed with the single 'fish' glyph '''700''' {{Roro|700|20}}, which may stand for {{lang|rap|īka}} "war casualty". There are other designs, including some tattoos recorded by early visitors, which are possibly single rongorongo glyphs, but since they are isolated and pictographic, it is difficult to know whether or not they are actually writing. In 2018, a possibly authentic ink-on-[[barkcloth]] sequence dating from 1869, dubbed the "[[Rongorongo text Ragitoki|Raŋitoki fragment]]", was recognized.
