Notes to accompany the following table:
Note that this is the first statistical table we have produced on Pitt Rivers as a collector (or donor) or any other field collector associated with him that gives the number of objects directly given by him from each person (sometimes objects from the same collector were given by a different source) but, more importantly, it also is the only table ever (to date) that gives the date or suggested date by which Pitt Rivers obtained the object. Even the dates on the database do not always give this information in this form.
NB we have not included Bethnal Green Museum as an other owner because the Pitt Rivers collection was only loaned to them. It would be possible to look separately at the objects that had been displayed there, but that does not seem appropriate at this juncture.
* - all field collectors are by default also other owners, where it indicates someone is an Other Owner it means that they definitely [or most probably] did not field collect.
