| Notes: | U.16239 field records frequently mention weight in GRS (apparently meaning grams, not grains in this case) but they rarely match with modern weighings of the objects. It is unclear how Woolley obtained these weight measurements; for most weights he did not record them. Even descriptions are frequently out, particularly material type. Perhaps these weights became rather mixed and separated from their actual sub-letters, but other candidates for the weight in question are typically not found. |
