content: There was some confusion with the numbering of this collection. Ledger book originally listed 169044 as a tent support, and 169045 as a tent or tuppek. This was later changed to 169045 for the tent support and 169046 for the tent or tuppek. As of 2015, only one object has been located, a pieced together skin object numbered 169045. It may be that this object is actually the tent rather than the tent support.
