About this record's data

From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Persons and Names of the Middle Kingdom (PNM).

Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
