Context (Other owners)
This object is part of a larger collection of material given by William M. Tapp in 1925 but originally from the collection of Charles Hartley, which Tapp catalogued and numbered prior to his gift to MAA. The catalogue (now in MAA’s archives FG1/2/2) describes the collection as 'The collection of Prehistoric & other implements + specimens made by Charles Hartley M.A., Principal of the Royal College, Colombo, Ceylon', and explains that it was divided in 6 sections, each section having a specific collection history and a letter suffix (A to F). Tapp also explains that ‘On acquiring collections, C. Hartley washed the specimens, removed old labels + (where possible) marks, taking careful notes of the same; + remembered the whole'. Tapp's catalogue often records these old marks and/or labels that are no longer visible on labels. Most of the objects are marked with a distinctive Tapp number.
