Context (Found together / assemblage)
The socket terminal for 1927.694 B was found stored with objects from Z 27378. There is a clear break and a profile/cross-section that match, allowing for the identification of the two fragments as being 1927.694 B. It is possible that other objects stored as Z 27378 may also be associated with 1927.694.
