Context (Analysis)
In March 2019, Dr. Isabelle Vella Gregory studied the Jebel Moya figurines at MAA. She provided measurements and new dating of this material but could not identified the animal. The Period field previously stated 'Meroitic' but since Dr Gregory's analysis this has been updated to 'Stratum A; c. 750 - 1BC; Napatan and Meroitic'. Information regarding her analysis can be found in the archive, Doc.491.
