Context (Analysis)
The Place information ‘Pingilkulik’ comes from labels in Rowley’s hand, which is difficult to read. This place is not listed in his 2007 autobiography and there doesn’t appear to be any reference to it in any of the excavation notebooks held by MAA. It is possible that documentation relating to it will be found at a later date.
