Context (Amendments / updates)
El Amrah has been added to the Place field as a potential provenance due to the use of 'a' in its excavation mark. This is used on other objects from this location discovered in cemetery 'A'. Because of this, the EEF and Randall-MacIver have tentatively been added to the Source field.
