Context (Analysis)
Other material from Ghar Dalam from Miles Burkitt was given to him by Gertrude Caton Thompson, likely from her excavations c. 1923. In her letter enclosing the pottery (archive MM1/10/37) she does not mention any bones, although it is possible that she did send them at the same time; alternatively they could come from her 1924 excavation of the same site with Dorothea Bate, or from another source entirely. Caton Thompson has therefore been tentatively added to the Source field.
