Context (Found together / assemblage)
Sherds seen with turquoise chips and teeth fragments (1959.419 B.1-27 and 1959.419 C.1-2) by Eleanor Wilkinson in July 2024, however they are not listed on the note by Mary Hill Harris nor are they from the vessel (1959.419 A). It is possible that they are associated with this group, but it is also possible that they are unrelated and were simply in the same box as the miscellaneous material with notes from Mary Hill. They have therefore been assigned a TEMP number and tentatively given the same information as 1959.419, pending further investigation.
