Context (Field collection)
According to Leaf's publication (see Bib, p. 61), 'ten finished microliths' were found on the 'Mesolithic Working Floor' under Hearth 9, Barrow 5. Nine of the ten microliths and microlith fragments have '9' or '375 H9' written on them in pen or pencil; however one has 'Hearth 8' written on pencil so '375 H8' has been added to the Other Nums field in addition to '375 H9'.

Context (Amendments / updates)
According to the catalogue card for 1949.274, these microlithics were originally accessioned under that number but were subsequently reaccessioned as Z 31172. C.F. Leaf has therefore been added as the Source, 1949.274 has been added as the primary idno and Z 31172 moved to MAA number, and the bibliographic reference has also been added.
