Context for Z 28128 A[.1-8]: 'Many of the bricks in this record are similar in design to those in D 1889.5 (and may have come from the same house?). The Accession Register entry for this Idno states that there are 12 bricks, but four of that number have been allocated to D 1889.5. See that record for further detail.'
