Other Information

LS.75273.MCBUR to LS.75317.MCBUR were found inside the wooden slide box now numbered C344/.

These slides were found in a box that originally had different contents as the inscription inside the box (belonging to Evans) and "Burma" written on it suggest.

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being "*?Asia; Merimde; ?Europe; Merimde", but the Merimde culture is a Neolithic culture of the West delta of the Nile in Egypt. The archaeological site at Merimde Beni-Salam was found in 1928 by German archaeologist Herman Junker. The Place field has been amended accordingly.
