Context (Amendments / updates)
The Accession Register notes that this idno was donated by the British School of Archaeology in Palestine, but it is likely that it was in fact the British School of Archaeology in Egypt which carried out excavations in the Gaza region in the 1930s. A similar mistake was made in the entry of Z 14906-Z 14916. The Source field has been updated accordingly.
