Context (Found together / assemblage)
Three fragments found with '1947.2197 A-C', two bead fragments and one copper alloy cylinder. Following object analysis as well as consultation of catalogue cards and the accession register, it was determined that these fragments were not part of '1947.2197 A-C'. Therefore, three new records were created, 'TEMP.01934.1-3' with the hope of reuniting them with their correct accession numbers in the future.
