Context (Amendments / updates)
Previous Other Number stated as '30/2662' as copied from the excavation number on the catalogue card. However from the image of the object in the expedition report and its reference in the distribution list (see Ref.), it appears that the excavation number should be '30/2663'. The Other Number field has therefore been changed to reflect this.
