Comment:
Photo: 15-8615. Published: AAE., I, Pl 24, Fig. 1. For materials see Supplementary calalogue 1, p. 80. Was marked as missing in 1992, presumably because number had fallen off. Identified during basket move as TB-11 it was matched to a historic photograph 15-8615 to reestablish museum number.
