Context (Amendments / updates)
This accession number does not tally with the object described in the Accession Register as 1897.175, which is why its suffix was /Record 2. It instead refers to the Annual Report number, AR 1897.175 and the accession number field has been modified accordingly. An Accession Register entry for this object has not been identified, and may not exist.

Context (Amendments / updates)
Although this object apparently does not have an Accession Register entry, the site, excavator and excavation year are made clear by the object label: although Girton was excavated twice, in 1881 by Jenkinson and 1886 by von Hügel, the month aligns with Jenkinson's 1881 excavation. Jekinson has therefore been added to the Source field as excavator. He may have been the donor as well, but so too may have Girton College itself. Both have been added tentatively and von Hügel has been removed.
