Context (Amendments / updates)
This object was originally recorded in the Archaeology Accession register (Acc.11) under 1916.77.3 and then crossed out. Another object was then entered as 1916.77 elsewhere. As this pin cushion was reported on in the 1916 Annual Report as AR 1916.77.3, and to avoid creating a duplicate number, I have retained the Annual Report number as the primary IDNO.
