Context (Field collection)
These objects were found bagged with excavation tags with the site code 'NG'. No site with these letter or initials seems to appear in Nicholas David's 1982 article, however in David Phillipson's article in the same journal he mentions two sites that might be possible: Nying'ora and Napongo. They were found amongst other material labelled as being excavated by Nicholas David in 1979, so they may have been collected during that season of excavations (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) or possibly from the preliminary excavations/surveys directed by Phillipson between November 1977 to January 1978.

Context (Found together / assemblage)
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.'
