'There were two records for this object - one archaeology and one anthropology. The object is recorded in the 1889 Annual Report as Anthropology, but a period of 'Neolithic' was entered in the archaeology record. This record is an amalgamation of those two records. Accession Register reads: "Said to have been found by a labourer near Milton. ?Melanesian (B. by donor in Cambridge)." S-J Harknett 5/7/2004'
