Title 53 from the Pitt Rivers Museum History, 1884

Classes by decade of field collection and acquisition

Part I - Agriculture to Locks

[article ID:363]

Each class has been identified by decade of field collection (by searching for 188, 189 etc in the date collected field) and acquisition (by searching for the same dates in the Accession Number field). We are unsure how accurate the field collection dates are, some are actual dates of field collection but the vast majority are 'Date collected by ...' , that is, they must have been collected by the date of acquisition and accessioning.
