Referred to on pages 370-371 of 'South America', by Bill Sillar and Dan Hicks, in World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization, edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson (Oxford: Archaeopress, 2013), pp. 358-382. Sillar and Hicks write: 'The remaining material is an assemblage of c. 110 artefacts collected by by H.D. and C.L. Hoskold, and was originally given to the Cotteswold Naturalists Field Club before being presented to the PRM in 1947 (1947.7.01–085, 1988.5.1, 2003.37.1–4). This collection was made between 1882 and 1885, and is primarily from the Province of Catamarca, with some material from La Roya Province. A report, pubished in the Proceedings of the Cotteswold Naturalists’ Field Club, provides a useful description of where each of the pottery, stone, metal, slag and cloth objects came from (Hoskold and Hoskold 1895 [Hoskold, H.D. and C.L. Hoskold 1895. Catalogue of a collection of South American Indian objects made in the Argentine Republic from 1882 to 1886, and presented to the Cotteswold Naturalists’ Field Club. Proceedings of the Cotteswold Naturalists’ Field Club 11(3): 309–324.]).' [MJD (Verve) 7/1/2016]
