Context (Amendments / updates)
1980.266 originally covered two sherds; one coarse ware and one Samian. However, the coarse ware is glazed so must be Medieval. Thus the Roman Samian sherd has been allocated the suffix 'A', and the Medieval sherd has been given 'B'. Each sherd now has its own record.
