Context (Amendments / updates)
A section of plant fibre matting was found unmarked in a box with objects from Bee Cave Canyon, and has now been assigned a temp number, TEMP.03594. It is visually very similar to Z 41008 A-B and Z 41009 which are also from Bee Cave Canyon, so the Source and Place information has been copied from those records.
