- Research and responses
This object could have been obtained by Pitt Rivers during his 2 visits to Brittany in October - November 1878 and March - April 1879 [Bowden, 1991: 86-7][Chapman, 1981: 410-2] [Thompson, 1977: 61]. There are no objects with the fraction number 9294 in the green book. If my theory about fraction numbers is correct [see Introduction to the Lt-Genl PR catalogue] then objects with this number should have associated dates of between March and May 1879 [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
