Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found, along with TEMP.00530-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.'

Context (Field collection)
These stone scatters were found bagged with excavation tags with the site code 'KL'. One of these tags was found in the same bag as an excavation tag with the site 'Jebel Kales', so KL appears to stand for Jebel Kales. They come from Collection Areas that overlap with TEMP.00534, which is labelled 'J. Kales' and 'Jebel Kales'. That name does not seem to appear in Nicholas David's 1982 article or David Phillipson's article in the same journal issue. However, as it was found amongst other material labelled as being excavated by Nicholas David in 1979 with known sites, it has been presumed that they are part of the same excavations undertaken as part of the second of the four British Institute of East Africa expedition to Southern Sudan, led by Nicholas David and Amum Tor of the Sudan Antiquities Service.
