Research and responses

Pitt Rivers worked in Yorkshire at the same time, and in cases alongside Canon Greenwell in 1867. It seems likely that these items were collected at that time. Canon Greenwell published his work in 1877. Full reference: Greenwell, W. and Rolleston, G. 1877. British Barrows: A Record of the Examination of Sepulchral Mounds in Various Parts of England.
