Context (Amendments / updates)
The suffix 'D' was added to the hand written catalogue card in a different hand clearly at a later date. The woven material is not mentioned in Fell's publication, see (Bib) above, however this could be due to the woven material not being found at time of publication and only after further analysis. Or this addition of 'D' could be a result of confusion over material found with the remains of the female skeleton (Burial 4) and incorrectly associated with the male skeleton (Burial 1). The Number field has been amended from 3 to 0 due to the unstable nature of the woven fragments making a definite number unclear.
