Context (Amendments / updates)
This accession number does not tally with the object described in the Accession Register as 1899.384 B. It instead refers to the Annual Report number, AR 1899.384 B 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)
This object has suffered from not having an Accession Register entry. Restored Anglo Saxon urns from the Cambridge region were listed in the 1895, 1896, 1897 and 1899 Annual Reports, and it is quite possible that they had in the museum and awaiting restoration for several prior. It is therefore currently unclear whether this urn came from the 1881 or 1886 excavation of Girton College, either of which is possible. All the likely Sources (Anatole von Hügel, Francis Jenkinson and Girton College) have therefore been tentatively included in the Source field and 'Cambridge Antiquarian Society' has been removed.
