| Title: | Note based on information from the British Museum Greenwell Collection Catalogue, numbers 1785 - 1786. | ||||
| Content: | Entry for a hook of white shell found with a burnt boday and a knife of calcined flake at Wytham. The note mentions that the hook was on display in Case 22 in a glass box. The note describes the hook as a 'fibula' of calcined bone given to Canon Greenwell by Professor Rolleston. It resembles one found at Slingsby in Yorkshire in a cinerary urn with a barbed and stemmed arrow head, a scraper and a bone pin in a round barrow. Other similar ones have been found elsewhere in Yorkshire and also Wiltshire. Below the note are two drawings of the pin found in Slingsby, Yorkshire. There is also a publication reference: 'British Barrows, p.352 and figure 7'. | ||||
