Context (CMS Context)
A group of 13 tattooing thorns. These were found with similar material collected by Haddon from Bulaa, South East Coast. However these have no markings and so their true provenance and context is unknown.
It is possible that these 13 thorns could be part of Z 8641 (OH 1594 A-C) as they are of the same type.
1 has two paper labels adhered that together read '496 A'.
