Norman Hammond re-examined these sherds on 27 February 2015 and noted that whilst sherds A and C are from the same vessel, B is from a separate vessle but he believes is painted by the same artist.

Context (Amendments / updates)
Z 40511 previously had the suffix range A-C, however, A and C were from a single object, whilst B was from another. As such, the decision was taken to re-assign the suffixes so that what was previously A and C was now A, and what was previously B remained B. The record has now been split, with A and B receiving separate catalogue records.
