Context (Amendments / updates)
For 1950.163 A[.1-.2]: This urn's excavation number is WDY 63 B. The record erroneously gave a second excavation number, WDY 48, which refers to 1950.97 A.1-3. WDY 48 was not found on the accession register entry or the catalogue card for 1950.163 A, and so has therefore been removed from the Other Nos. field.

Context (Found together / assemblage)
These bones were found with the urn 1950.163 A.1, but are not mentioned in historic documentation. The decision has been taken to separate the objects and assign the suffix 1950.163 A.1 to the urn and 1950.163 A.2 to the bones.
