Context (CMS Context)
The archive list 'Antiquities from British School' gives the excavation number as 'L/60' but this information is not recorded in the catalogue card. It also does not correspond to the mastaba number it was excavated from (618, based on the illustration in the publication), however, it has still been added to the Other Nums field.
