'The labels and the catalogue card are clear that Saffron Walden was the place where this object was found. However, a link was at some point made to Z 31469 - another neolithic flint scraper with C.A.S provenance and labelled C.A.S 112 - which was found at Bottisham in Cambridgeshire. The CMS record did show Bottisham as the place of origin for 1883.106 but both objects seen in Keyser Store, 27/4/2011, so clearly not one and the same artefact. The link between them has therefore been removed'
