A loose hand written note seen with the soil sample reads 'Earth from and of the amphora. Snailwell.' in black ink. As noted in the Physical description on 15/12/2000, it is unclear why this soil was linked to the original database record for 1953.11 A, as there is no reference on this note to which amphora this means.
