Notes: It is unclear how this object was divided by Woolley, although he lists A,B,C,D, and E objects, he only describes E individually (as 3 objects). Furthermore, there is a later note on the catalog card identifying the material as shell, though this is not reflected in the typed transcript. Divisions checked (DC).
