There's an interesting problem here -- I just checked the online TOC of the Antiquaries Journal and found that Grace Crowfoot published exactly two articles in that journal, neither of which is the one you're looking for.  Moreover, none of the more reliable bibliographies of Crowfoot's work that I have located list the article in question.  For example, the biographical essay written by her daughter (http://www.brown.edu/Research/Breaking_Ground/bios/Crowfoot_Grace.pdf) includes a comprehensive bibliography, and this article is not among those listed.  It looks like we have a phantom citation.It seems to me that one of a couple things might have happened, probably in combination:1.  An article with the given title exists somewhere, but was written by someone else, possibly one of her daughters who were also involved in this area of scholarship, or2.  An article was written by Grace Crowfoot on the subject described by the title, but it had a different title and was published in a different journal.3.  Someone who was compiling a bibliography did not properly document his or her sources, resulting in the creation of the phantom citation.4.  Others saw the phantom citation and included it in their bibliographies without verification.This is not an uncommon occurrence -- I have even read scholarly articles discussing the perpetuation of the phantom citation.----- Original Message -----From: SNSpies at aol.comDate: Monday, August 24, 2009 11:56 pmSubject: Re: [Sca-librarians] reference helpTo: galefridus at optimum.net> Actually, that is a different (but wonderful!) article.
