Context (Found together / assemblage)
A long string of ostrich eggshell beads were found attached to 1927.282. It does not appear to be part of 1927.282, but has two labels attached, one which suggests it may have come from Ridgeway, and another with a five digit number which may be an Oldman number. It has now been assigned a temp number, TEMP.01737.
