Context (Analysis)
Gertrude Caton Thompson's deposit list (AR7/1/18) and catalogue card detail the 35 arrowheads 1927.1515 A-G. 49 further arrowheads were added to this idno at a later date and have now been assigned the Temporary number TEMP.03749.1-49. It is possible that they may originate from the same sites and excavation.
