Context (Found together / assemblage)
Eight sherds and one large intact section were found bagged and labelled as parts of 1995.214. Seven of the sherds matched the large intact section and were able to be refitted. One sherd appears to be from a separate vessel. This sherd was separated out and given a new record and temp number [TEMP.02876].
