Context (Amendments / updates)
Z 46162 - Z 46165 were previously entered as from Graham Rowley's re-excavation of Naujan in 1938 and donated by Thomas Manning. However, they correspond to those excavated by Rowley in 1937 at the site of Avartoq [Akbahtok], Strathcona Sound, drawings of which are in his excavation notebook (XA/1/39/4). The Place and Source fields have been updated accordingly.
