Context (Found together / assemblage)
A general index card for Z 21734 - Z 21744 read: 'This collection of pottery of similar fabric from the W.K. Foster Bequest was stored together with Z 21733 and with which it appears to be a collection of Lausitz Bronze Age vessels, probably from South East Germany (Z 21733, Silesia, ?Muskau). All the forms of the finer pots can be equated with Lausitz types. It may be that some 'Swiss Lake Village' pots have been included in error.'
