Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found, unaccessioned, in a box marked ‘Ridgeons Gardens, Castle Hill’; the material was assigned the TEMP number TEMP.01742 and given individual suffixes. According to notes written by museum staff at an unknown date, the material was: ‘brought in by Joyce Pullinger, ?when’; one bag bears the date of ‘1973’. This information, as well as the site code of RGS, makes it likely that this material is from Joyce Pullinger’s 1972-1976 excavations at Ridgeons Gardens II.
