Findspots:
Combined with # 223, 200 from TT 93 (Mond 1904 [ASAE 5]: 98).
According to Davies and Macadam, 'a number of' examples of this type were found in TT 96 (01-097 in Davies's notebook and 04-076 in Macadam's Green file. Mond, however, did not specify the exact type clearly. Mond 1904 [ASAE 5] 101-101).
They may be kept in 'Mond's magazine (= inner hall of TT 96. See Mond 1904 [ASAE 5]: 100)' (01-097 in Davies's notebook and 04-076).
One from TT 99 (Strudwick and Strudwick 2016: 53).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 223.
The dimensions, design, findspots, and handwriting of # 223 and # 224 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they may have been created at the same time. Conversely, # 224 mentions the owner's wife, Sennay, which suggests that the cone was made after their marriage. Therefore, it may be posited that # 223 was made first and then # 224 was made. The chronology of the two cones' production will remain unresolved until further evidence is uncovered.
