Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found stored with '1947.2193 A-G'. After consultation with the relevant catalogue cards and accession register, as well as object analysis, both bead fragments did not appear to be associated with '1947.2193 A-G'. It was therefore decided that the two bead fragments should be given their own record: 'TEMP.01933' with the hope that they will be reunited with the correct accession number in the future.
