Context (Amendments / updates)
The Source for this accession number was given tentatively as Salisbury Museum and the Smithsonian Institute, although none of the objects are marked with Smithsonian numbers. However the paper label affixed to one of the objects reading 'GEORGIA' is identical to those in the Walter Kidman Foster collection, and the Bequest catalogue includes an entry for '43 javelin- and large arrow-heads... one of quartzite, six of quartz, the remainder of flint and chert' from Georgia. The rest of the objects are marked in the same hand, but directly on the object 'GEORGIA'. Z 40094.1-38 would account for 38 of the 43; Z 40095 A and Z 40096 A-B, all of which are marked 'GEORGIA' in the same hand, would bring the total number up to 41 out of the original 43. The record has therefore been updated accordingly.
