Discover through a particular object
A particular object, not a kind: every page here starts from a collection record, quotes its dating as worded, and separates what the record says from what can be inferred from it.
A kind of find describes a group: pottery, inscriptions, coins. An object is one item with a record number, a holder and a date as published by its source. Object pages keep three things apart: what you see, what the record says, and where the object is now. A field the source did not give stays empty.

2 objects Order: by the source's normalised date, earliest first; objects without a placeable range come last.
Object
A turquoise-green glass jug 9.5 cm high, blown in a four-part mold. The record documents the mold seams on the vessel but does not say where the jug came from; it is therefore recorded in the region "place not stated".
Object
A six-sided glass jug shaped in a mould and dated 500-650. The museum calls it a vessel "of the Jerusalem type" but says nothing of where it was made or found, so it is shown by its source date only.
