Context (Field collection)
These stone scatters were found bagged with excavation tags noting that they are from the site '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.

Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found, along with TEMP.00535-TEMP.00536, in a metal trunk marked '2' with a luggage tag that reads 'Archaeological Specimens. No Commercial Value. Send to: Prof. N. David. c/o Multi Service Training Camp Juba' and in a different hand 'or c/o Director of Culture Juba'. This material is probably part of what is referred to by the notes found with TEMP.00530-TEMP.00533 reading 'N.David. S. Sudan 1979-80 (to be distributed)' and 'This shelf + 1 below bones I will collect as soon as possible. K. Scott'. 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.'
