Context (Found together / assemblage)
The catalogue card for Z 33039 notes that these objects were found in a box with Z 33038. One item in this box was labelled 1946.260. This accession number corresponds to objects from Swan Islands. All of the objects in the box may therefore belong to this number, i.e they are from Swan Islands and collected by Lord Moyne. Both Bay Islands and Swan Islands have therefore been included in the Place field of this record.
