Context (Field collection)
Site K. Excavated by Thomas Manning, British Canadian Arctic Expedition, in August 1938. Seven are labelled K1, one of which is also labelled K15; one is labelled K Bed, and one is unmarked and distinct from the rest. S-J counted eight pieces and now there are nine, so it is possible it does not belong.
