content: According to the catalog card, this catalog number (155,370) originally had 23 pots. They are marked with part numbers, e.g. "155370(3)", up to number 24, so apparently there were actually at least 24 pots at some point. According to the catalog card, several of these pots were exchanged at various times. Numbers 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 21, and 22 are not found in 2007.

content: Per the catalogue card, one pot # 155370 was exchanged with Victor J. Evans in 1922, and later returned to the Smithsonian with the Evans collection, Accession No. 113605, in 1931 and was given # 361896, and described as a broken jar. There is currently no object # 361896 in the collections, so it is probable that the jar was returned to its old number of 155370 at some point. The best candidate to be this jar is the jar currently called E155370-2. This jar was broken and had been repaired, and its old catalogue number of 155370 had been carefully lined through on the vessel, and then the number was later rewritten again on the vessel next to the lined through number.
