Interpretation

Commentary
Published in HCH as coming “from a small cairn to the east of Haniʾ” (HCH p. 49). However Harding's original copies are on a page with SIJ 996 997 998 [= HCH 200] and 1002 [= HCH 199] labelled “Cairn S. of road near H4 about 444 212” with the implication that SIJ 999-1001 1003-1009 on the following two pages are from the same place.
