Presumably as a result of the accession number being confusingly recorded as '59.a94' and '59.b94' on the labels, these hammerstones were reaccessioned as part of Z 32327. This is turn was an error, because Z 32327 is a mixture of objects donated by Prof. Graham from Grimes Graves, Norfolk; thus the 7 hammerstones (which also includes 1894.60 A, D, E and F) were given the suffix of /Record 2 to distinguish them. Both idnos are now recorded in the IDNO field, but this record should be treated as primary.
