Context (Amendments / updates)
These objects were originally recorded in the Archaeology Accession register (Acc.11) under 1916.77.1-2 and then crossed out. Another object was then entered as 1916.77 elsewhere. As these needle cases were reported on in the 1916 Annual Report as AR 1916.77.1-2, and to avoid creating a duplicate number, I have retained the Annual Report number as the primary IDNO.
