Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2022-09-26), "Provenience should be House E, Chamber 10. This artifact was found early in Lythgoe's excavation when he assigned sequential numbers to the objects found in the houses at the North end of the site. 1027 is listed in his field notes as "flints" that came from Chamber X of House E (Notebook D-13, p. 15).
