Context (Amendments / updates)
Seven fragments of decorated bone were mistakenly accessioned in 1994 as Medieval or Saxon 'fragments of bone comb and anthropomorphic figures' from '?British Isles; ?England'. They were later correctly identified as pieces of bone inlay from a wooden box excavated at Jericho, part of 1955.334 A-E. The identification was supported by Kathleen Kenyon's description and illustration.
