The text presented here is based on a transcript made by Petch as part of her work as project researcher on ‘Rethinking Pitt-Rivers: Analysing the Activities of a Nineteenth-Century Collector’, a three-year research project (2009–2012) funded by a grant from The Leverhulme Trust on which Coote was the principal investigator. We are grateful to Adrian Green, Director of the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, for making the original typescript available and for his support for the ‘Rethinking Pitt-Rivers’ project.
