Context (Amendments / updates)
The complete incisor was found in a box with 1924.890 A-C, and the tooth, bone and shell fragments were found in a bag with the flint flakes numbered 1924.890 C. Since organic materials are not mentioned in the accession register or catalogue card for 1924.890 A-C, the decision was taken to assign these objects a temporary accession number, TEMP.02675.
