Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2022-02-15), "Provenience should be Room 250, Northern Kom (Northern Palace). The object was marked 250 but it did not come from the tomb of that number (Reisner's notes for his context 250 describe a Coptic jar that was found in a pit with no mention of any flints (Notebook D-12: 5). However, spear points/arrow heads were found in the North Palace, so it almost certainly came from Room 250 in the palace (D-9: 27) although Green's notes do not specifically list it.
