Context (Amendments / updates)
The label affixed to this object is consistent with others affixed to objects donated by Clarence B. Moore in 1913 and 1915, coming from Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida and Tennessee, and '33' is missing from the sequence. Unfortunately the numbering system does not appear to correspond with specific sites, or even States, and this number was not found in the papers and lists relating to Moore's donation in the archive (FR5/1/1). Therefore the Place field has been updated to tentatively include all the States represented in the Moore donation, and Moore himself added to the Source field.
