Context (Amendments / updates)
These sherds were found with the jar base numbered Z 33192, but are of a different fabric and thickness to this vessel. It is unclear which vessel the sherds originate from, and thus the decision was taken to assign the sherds a temporary accession number, TEMP.02877.
