Context (Amendments / updates)
The Place field tentatively stated Tel el Amarna and associated with Percy Newberry who surveyed Tel el Amarna in the 1890s and returned in the 1930s. However there is no written information to accompany this object and so both these field should be taken with a pinch of salt. A large number of objects have been incorrectly attributed to both and in all reality should probably be removed from this record.
