Context (Found together / assemblage)
These unmarked sherds were found stored in a bag with 1924.585 A.2 and 1924.479 [A-B]. Given their lack of markings, they were assigned a new TEMP number. Most of the fields of this new record have been tentatively populated using the information from those records, with more specific excavation context being removed.
