Context (Amendments / updates)
Although Z 45281.1-2 was entered in the Z Register as being collected by Graham Rowley in 1936, when it was entered into the database the Source was given as Thomas Lethbridge. The label affixed to Z 45281.1-2 is written in Rowley's hand, make it clear that these at least were probably excavated from the site of Uluksan (see XA/1/39/2) which he excavated in August 1937. The Source field and Field Collection have been updated accordingly.
