Context (Amendments / updates)
When this collection (Z 46216 – Z 46219) was registered, it had lost association with its excavation site and was tentatively listed as from Southampton Island. In March 1993 it was seen by Graham Rowley, who wrote a note on the box list reading: ‘I believe this material is what I dug on Walrus Island in August 1936’. The excavation number format, with the prefix of ‘W’, also appears to confirm this. Therefore, the Place field has been updated accordingly.
