Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2021-04-05), "Provenience should be Room 210 (North Columned Court), North Palace", and "This javelin or spear point was recorded in Green's field notes for the palace with a sketch that matches this object ('close to the axe (2 m to E) copper or bronze spear point point to E lying on the sand'. Notebook D-9, p. 20). Green seems to have given consecutive numbers to objects that do not match the provenience label, thus the attribution... to a context numbered 397, but there was no Tomb 397.
