Context (Amendments / updates)
The Period field previously stated XXII Dynasty; Saite Period. The markings however notes a date of ?XVIII or ?XIX Dynasty. Because the idno 1948.2800 A-R has been split from one record into individual records, this reference to a date range could be for another scarab(s) - the Accession register notes the whole group 1948.2800 dates from XXII Dynasty to the Saite Period. The field has been updated to reflect the individual scarab's labelling, though this is outside the original date range.
