- Research and responses
It is not clear if this is the set of pottery listed in the annual report for 1883, as there seems to be a possibility that the objects were acquired by the University Museum in December 1885. For this reason an entry has been made in prm possibles for the annual report entry as well, in case there is some previously found unentered Guyanan pottery still to be found [AP 11/10/2012]
