Context (Amendments / updates)
Whilst this object has been assigned the suffix H it appears from the publication by Fell (1953), see References, that the three bone pierces were originally 1948.2231 I, J and K. Whilst J and K can be still linked to their image in fig. 2, it seems that I has now become H on the object.
The object now marked I may indeed be one of the 'Two miscellaneous fragments of bone. Museum no. 48.2231 D and H' as no other reference was made to additional bone tools, for textile production, in the publication.
This may explain why the original Descriptions for H and I are the same.
The suffixes marked on the objects have been retained as the true suffix for the time being.
