Handwritten note reads: 'Tobago. Bag marked 6 A1 18-22" but which was inside box marked 6 (ii) A-C2 12-21" and the latter is most probably right as other bags have had their labels crossed out. 6 plain rim sherds. 3 zoned red rim sherds', and in a different later hand: '2007. but they look pretty different from 37310 + 37311'.
