Context (Amendments / updates)
The excavation number marked and labelled on the object reads 'Toszeg 190'. However, the object is also marked '90' and the catalogue card notes: 'label probably wrong - pencil label 90, this would fit in with the correct stratum numbers'. The Other Numbers field of this record has been changed to 'TS90' only.
