Context (Found together / assemblage)
Sieveking notes that in Burial 25, 'one small broad quadrangular polished stone chisel with bevelled edges' was found below the waist, and a 'small quadrangular polished stone chisel' was found below the the left shoulder. The chisel found by the waist is 1956.244 E, and the chisel found below the left shoulder is either 1956.244 F or 1956.244 K.

Context (Field collection)
Possibly from Burial 25 (CHA A.1). Excavated by Gale de Giberne Sieveking, March-May 1954, as part of an expedition by the National Museum, Kuala Lampur and the Raffles Museum, Singapore. [Note: This object is marked with the burial number CHA.A.1. However, in the 1954 publication, only two small chisels are mentioned in association with Burial 25; these chisels can be accounted for by 1956.244 E, and either 1956.244 F or 1956.244 K, which are also marked with the Burial 25 number. The burial context for 1956.244 F is therefore uncertain.]
