Context (Found together / assemblage)
Unmarked sherds (no idno) were found bagged with Z 42601 A-C. It is unclear whether they are part of Z 42601, or were subsequently boxed with the material and have no association with it. They have now been assigned TEMP numbers (TEMP.03407 and TEMP.03408) with all the Kechib:wa information entered tentatively until further information comes to light.
