Context (Amendments / updates)
This collection was tentatively entered as being collected by James Mann Wordie in 1938 but has now been identified as from the excavations undertaken by Richard Feachem during the 1938 Cambridge West Greenland Expedition. Feachem excavated several sites on Illorsuit [Ubekendt] Island, including Sarqa, Naqerdloq, Kussininguaq and Igdlorssuit, which are recorded in his excavation notebooks (XA/1/25/5 and XA/1/33). More work is required in order to identify which of these sites this object comes from.
