Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found, along with TEMP.00531-TEMP.00533, in a wood crate marked 'LGC' and three handwritten notes. Two read 'N.David. S. Sudan 1979-80 (to be distributed)' and one reads 'This shelf + 1 below bones I will collect as soon as possible. K. Scott'. These probably refer to most, if not all, of all the South Sudan material found together and now assigned TEMP numbers. Nicholas David's 1982 article notes that 'the archaeological samples exported for analysis are held by the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, University of Cambridge, pending analysis of the flaked stone.' It seems, therefore, that this material was not intended to be permanently held by the museum, but it is not currently known where it should be held. The David article noted that 'materials of Middle Stone Age aspect are at the British Institute in Eastern Africa, Nairobi... all remaining collections are stored at the Regional Ministry of Culture and Information, Juba.'
