Context (Other owners)
This is likely one of the fragments of pottery from Ghar Dalam sent to Miles Burkitt by Gertrude Caton Thompson on 19 March 1923 (see archive MM1/10/37) for 'comparative purposes.' In her letter she notes that she has labelled them 'according to the ideas of [Themistocles] Zammit' but that their classification was still unsatisfactory and subject to change. Caton Thompson has therefore been added to the Source field.
