Context (Amendments / updates)
These artefacts were accessioned originally as archaeological material. There were two catalogue cards for these objects. One Archaeology, one anthropology. They are accessioned in the archaeology register for 1912. Therefore, the E prefix in this record has been removed and the Department field changed to Arch/Anth.
