Context (Amendments / updates)
The original catalogue card for 1951.178 A-E reads: 'A= three flints and one quartz from Abri Abzac (AUB and Abz)' but only two flints and one quartz could be found. The general description for 1951.178 A-E on both old and modern catalogue card and on the accession register only refers to 7 objects in total A (x3), B (x1), C (x1), D (x1), E (x1). It is thus assumed that a mistake was made on the original catalogue card.
