content: Some number confusion. Bird figure pot. Does not have catalog number written on it, only field number "378" with "dup" added in pencil. Tag with object says "Found in collection, this artifact has field # of 378 [which matches the field number given in the ledger book for catalog number 39878] and seems to fit with this series of objects, but it does not match the description [and drawing] of catalog number 39878 in the ledger book [a salt box which is E39878-0]". Apparently, at that time (1996?), this catalog record E39878A-0 was created for the bird pot, with the "A" added to distinguish it from the salt box. Similarly, the salt box, E39878-0, doesn't have the matching field number written on it, but it does match the description and drawing in the ledger book.

content: This pot, marked as field # 378, resembles duck figure E39879, field # 379, which may be related? As noted above, it is probable there was some confusion during cataloguing, and it appears that this figure may have been accidentally skipped. Another possible alternate catalog number for E39878A might be E39861, though that is supposed to be field number 361, not 378.
