Context (Field collection)
The source field, previously only saying Egyptian Research Account, has been populated with information from the accession register of Z 15529 which states 'd.d. F.W. Green 1898'. However the accession register for year 1898 states that nine limestone mace heads did come into the museum but were here attributed to the Egyptian Research Account. As Green was assigned to the excavation by the Account, both sources have been added to the field.
