Notes: The pin 30-12-552 in the Penn Museum is similar in size and description to U.12380X but is not confirmed to be this object. The CBS record does not give the U number or grave number of this pin and later records suggest it might be from PG/1068. This would make it U.11552 whose description is very good for this pin, but which is reported as being in the Iraq Museum. Because the rest of the objects in the sequence 30-12-552 through 30-12-558 all seem to have come from Body 61 in PG/1237, the pin is here listed from that location.     
Notes: Baadsgaard's dissertation does not give a U number for the object but lists it as coming from PG/800.
