Context (Amendments / updates)
This blade fragment was found with 1950.467.1-30. The object is marked with the excavation number '1082'; this number is from the excavation of Avvajja undertaken by Graham Westbrook Rowley in 1939. The excavation number is not listed on the catalogue card for 1950.467, and the object has no other markings. It is therefore unclear whether the object was originally part of 1950.467. The decision was therefore taken to assign the object a temporary number, TEMP.03028.
