Context (Amendments / updates)
This object was registered as tentatively collected by Graham Rowley in 1936, but then entered in the database as tentatively from Thomas Lethbridge. However the handwriting on the label and the site identifies it in fact as having been collected by Graham Rowley from Tukik, Arctic Bay. According to his autobiography (2007) and a reference in one of his excavation notebooks (XA/1/39/2, p. 42), Rowley was in Tukik on 2 July 1937, which may have been when this was collected. The Source field has therefore been updated accordingly.
