Context (Found together / assemblage)
The reference to 'Jug .1.' in the accompanying note suggests that this soil is from 1953.11 A, which is listed as 'no. 1'. However, it was found in 2000 with 1953.12 A, which is listed as excavation no. 8. This associate may have been accidental, however. Therefore it was decided to assign it a TEMP number.
