Context (CMS Context)
A bag of fragmentary wood and nails has a note accompanying it which reads 'From 4th Century RB burial, Arbury RD Cambridge.'. it also has the idno '53.448 C'. It is believed that this is a typo and it should instead read 1952.448 C as the former idno is for a figurine from Africa. Other notes which accompany the nails and fragments thereof from skeleton 5 read 'Nails with "Bernard" (Skeleton 5)', and 'Nsil from Skeleton 5 (Bernard). Arbury Rd.'.
