Notes
This jar was given overall Hetepheres findspot number HH_1260(9), but multiple additional numbers are visible in Peabody Museum photos (writen on the various fragments), including: 1266(66), 1172(110), 1266(25), and 1284(4) (?). (1266(25) is listed on diary page HUMFA_Vol.19.p.506 as "fragment of coarse red ware basin", so this number may be incorrect.)
Remarks
Field number 1260(9) also associated with pottery neckless shoulder jar 34-3-3.
