Context (Amendments / updates)
The accession register description for 1924.892 reads '12 fragments of Bronze Age pottery'. However, 14 pottery sherds of a similar fabric and decoration were found marked '24.892'. These sherds are therefore believed to belong to the same accession number. The description and number fields have been updated accordingly.
