Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2020-06-01), "PAHMA registration journal attributes to Tomb 165 but the provenience is Tomb 163, as shown by this amulet appearing in expedition photos of the small finds from 163 (B-1190 and B-1191). Also note that this amulet is glass; the heart amulet described in the Tomb 165 field notes is diorite, and is now strung as part of 6-8804.
