According to Dorothy Garrod, the vast majority of the the el-Emireh collection was deposited in the Palestine Museum of Archaeology: 'of the 706 traceable specimens which make up the collection form the undisturbed area of Emireh, 620 are in the Palestine Museum, and the remainder are distributed between the British Museum, the Pitt Rivers Museum at Oxford, the Manchester University Museum, and the Glasgow University Museum'; see page 142 in 'The Mugharet el-Emireh in Lower Galilee: Type-Station of the Emrian Industry', by D. A. E. Garrord, in Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 85, nos 1/2 (1955), pp. 141–62. [AS 30/07/2010; JC 5 1 2015]
