Find Context (Catalog Card):	Brought in from Ur

U Number:	7139A¹
Object Type:	Figural Objects >> Figurines >> Anthropomorphic
Season Number:	04: 1925-1926
Notes:	U.7139 was accidentally duplicated in the field, with two catalog cards referring to the same number. The first card is here given no subletter (U.7139) while the second is given subletter A (U.7139A). The number was again duplicated after the season for a tablet, which is here given the subletter B.

[1] U.7070-U.7145 were duplicated with the duplicates assigned to tablets from Season 4 found in areas KP, EH, and possibly HT (Jacobsen AJA 57:128). The duplicates have been given the subletter A in this database while the original object from the catalog card retains the number without subletter (unless the original catalog card held multiple objects, in which case those are given appropriate subletters and the tablet takes the next in the sequence).

Location	Context Title	Context Description	Description (Modern)
	Ur	When Woolley lists context only as 'Ur' on his object catalog cards he tends to mean that it was found somewhere within the confines of the city wall but no more specific than that. These are often surface finds that Woolley felt did not require more specific find spot information. Those found outside the city walls were typically recorded as 'brought in' followed by the name of the broad region from which they were brought in by the workers.	(none)
