Context (Analysis)
Both the Accession Register and the catalogue card give the findspot as 'Skooteli', however the database record had a note reading 'Found: Kyrenia T'. This is likely to be an error, possibly carried over from another record.

Context (Analysis)
The site where this object was collected, which is listed in the accession register as 'Skooteli', and marked on the object as possibly 'Skou Tell', might refer to the Bronze Age town of Toumba tou Skourou in northwest Cyprus. This site consists of a mudbrick mound that spans the 16th to 14th centuries BC, and thus could be described as a 'Tell'. This site name has therefore been added to the Place field of this record.
