Context (CMS Context)
TEMP.00155 - TEMP.00160 were found in 'box 13 X-files' also labelled 'Oceania no prov. unnumbered/string thong + fibre'. These appear to be raw materials and while only three are labelled (TEMP.00156, TEMP.00158 and TEMP.00159) as from the 'Botanic Laboratory Dept. of Archaeology, Suva, Fiji' it has been assumed that the others are also unnumbered samples, though they may not all be Fijian. The box was stored with Oceanic Unprov. material c. 1980s - 2015.
