Context (Amendments / updates)
Z 46206 – Z 46220 were previously entered as from '?Southampton Island' and collected by Graham Rowley in 1936. However, they correspond to those excavated by Rowley in 1937 at the site of Uluksan, Arctic Bay, drawings of which are in his excavation notebook (XA/1/39/2). The Place field has been updated accordingly.
