Context (Amendments / updates)
This object was found in a cardboard box marked 'no Ac. number' and a label adhered which reads 'Bones of a young pig SNAILWELL BURIAL'. A database record was found with the correct description (see physical description 15/12/2000) and accession number noted as 'No number 32'. As this is no longer a recognised form of numbering MAA material this has been moved to the MAA Nos field and the objects assigned TEMP-number; TEMP.00813.5, and any information from the No number record carried over.
