| Notes: | There are two British Museum objects with very similar accession numbers 1933,1013.249 and 1933,1013.249a. The 'a' example has been restored from sherds and appears to be the one Woolley refers to in his field number U.18606. The other spouted jar must be one that did not receive a field number. |
