I had yours of 21 Jan for which I thank you. I had thought I might be getting an answer to mine of Jan 18, which crossed yours, and could then answer two at one fell swoop. But guess you got snowed in (or is it under?).
I am glad to hear that there are so many helping hands for Curium matters in Philadelphia. Could wish they were here, since it begins to look as if we'd never get anybody, ever. But since it can't be, keep up the good work, I'm all for it.
Jack and I have figured out approximately how many numbers of what categories you will need for cataloguing the uncatalogued objects from Bamboula tombs, as you suggested. We give you the following blocks:
P 2635 - 2699 incl. M 1029 - 1050 Mi 189 - 204 Gl 90 - 99 St 525 - 537
Jack says not to bother with Tomb 26, it being mostly sherds. He will undertake this himself. If you need more numbers or other varieties, yelp.
Jack has been to Nicosia and has gone over all the Bamboula things there. He came back with a list of missing objects which he would be very glad to have you check up on in Philadelphia. As follows (hold onto your chair!):
