Context (Other owners)
1954.174 A-E were presumably transferred from the Gila Pueblo Archaeology Foundation to the Arizona State Museum at an unknown date, which then transferred them to the Denver Museum of Natural History at an unknown date, but likely February 1953 (see 1954.152-154). They then came to MAA as part of an exchange with Denver Museum of Natural History in 1954.
