Context (Amendments / updates)
'There is meant to be an iron stylus associated with this accession number [1947.741 D]. There was a reed stylus found in the location 50.A.2, which was already labelled and associated with this ID No. The accession register only mentions a 'stylus', but the card catalogue mentions it as being an 'iron stylus'. It is thought that this is a mistake and that this is in fact the correct stylus, that should be associated with the record. A record has been created for it with the relevant information transferred across'. Ashleigh Griffin | 06/12/2018
