Context (Field collection)
Possibly from Burial 33 (CHA A.9). 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 illustrated in the 1955 publication, where it is listed as originating from Burial 25 (CHA A.1). However, the object itself has a faint pencil marking reading 'A.9'; CHA A.9 corresponds to Burial 33. Also, the 1954 publication only mentions two small chisels in association with Burial 25; these chisels can be accounted for by 1956.244 E, and 1956.244 F or 1956.244 K, which are all marked with the Burial 25 number. The burial context listed in the 1955 publication is therefore believed to be incorrect.]
