Context (Amendments / updates)
Note for 1936.232 A-C: 'This record originally listed these items as coming from either Lamma Island, Hong Kong or Fifty Farm, Mildenhall, Suffolk. It is not clear how this occurred, as both the catalogue card and the accession register give Lamma Island as the Place. Fifty Farm has therefore been removed from the Place field.'

Context (Analysis)
Note for 1936.232 A-C: 'In October 2012, Ray M.K. Ma, Assistant Curator, Antiquities & Monuments Office, Hong Kong examined these objects and tentatively identified them as being from the Bronze Age. The Period field has been updated accordingly, as previously there was no period given. He also believes that A and B are roughouts for making stone rings, which has been added to the Description field.'
