Context (Amendments / updates)
Accession Register records the find spot of this object as 'Hut XIV'. However this object matches the description and dimension of stone lamp found at Hut 3 (Lethbridge, 1939, pp. 198). Therefore the 'Period' and 'Field Collection' fields have been updated accordingly to match the publication.
