Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found stored in same bag as Z 43383 C; however, this sherd is unmarked. It may belong with that IDNO, but as it could not be ascertained with certainty, it has been given a TEMP number. Contextual information from that record has tentatively been used to populate this new record.
