Context (Amendments / updates)
When the Kechib:wa collection was packed for storage in c. 1986 the pottery was assessed by museum staff and boxed according to type. This sherd was packed with Kwakina Polychrome material, which has been added to the Description field.

Context (Amendments / updates)
I found this unmarked sherd bagged with Z 42375.1-5. However, based on the markings on it, it has a more specific excavation context associated with it and therefore does not belong to that IDNO. I have tentatively populated most fields of this record based on Z 42375.1-5, but, based on the annotation on the object, I have added the context 'Room 54, upper level'.
