Only 3 of the 3,345 ethnographic objects are not from Asia (NB all the A/E objects in the collection are from Asia):
1 shell fish hook from the Solomon Islands (1936.37.2)
1 whale tooth incised with female figure from England (1936.37.2)
1 dao with haft bound in copper wire (1923.84.524) which is either Asian or European
Since such an overwhelming majority of the ethnographic objects are Asian, we have not created a chart.
By combining the above data, how is the collection as a whole divided between archaeology, ethnography, and region?
[article ID:523]
Asia archaeology: 55
Asia ethnography: 3,343
Asia A/E: 96

Sources of the collection
[article ID:528]
Henry Balfour is the only significant source for Hutton material other than Hutton himself. As indicated in the table above, he donated 22 objects that were or may have been collected by Hutton in the field (they were all given to Balfour by Hutton). However, this only accounts for 0.6% of the Hutton collection as a whole.
Other Owners
[article ID:529]
Again, Henry Balfour is the most significant Other Owner in terms of the number of objects (this is not including other owners who may also have field collected the material, for example, J.P. Mills). Balfour owned a total of 41 objects in the Hutton collection (although this number includes the 22 he also donated), which accounts for 1.2% of the collection as a whole.
27 of Hutton's objects were returned from Stevens Auction Rooms before coming to the PRM, making Stevens the second most significant other owner in terms of objects, owning 0.8% of the collection.
Field collectors for the collection
[article ID:531]
By far the most significant field collectors for the Hutton collection are Paul Olaf Bodding and James Philip Mills. Bodding collected 95 of the objects, which accounts for 2.7% of the collection, while Mills is entered alongside Hutton as a field collector for 90 objects, accounting for 2.5% of the collection. The next highest contributor in terms of number of objects is R. Foulkes, who collected 22 objects, equal to 0.6% of the collection as a whole.
Divide all the field collectors for the collection into: those with no known object-related connection to the PRM other than via this collection:

Those who are also a PRM source of material collected or thought to have been collected in the field by themselves:

Mills, James Philip
Pawsey, Charles Ridley
Roy, Rai Bahadur Sarat Chandra
Those who are also a PRM source of material collected or thought to have been collected in the field by others:
[article ID:534]
Lightfoot, G.S.
Mills, James Philip
Pawsey, Charles Ridley
Those who are also a field collector or possible field collector named in PRM collections (the latter defined by these individuals being PRM source:
[article ID:535]
Mills, James Philip
Roy, Rai Bahadur Sarat Chandra
Statistical significance of individuals with direct connection to the collection
No individuals connected with the collection are associated with over 10% of the collection / of PRM collection as a whole up to 1945.
