At the catalogue desk at the Old Gallery threshold, Reldan Oss keeps the closeout hearing file beside a small clay tag whose number does not match the number in the register. The two details are easy to miss in a summary: one is a line in a ledger, the other is the condition that decides whether the line is useful.
Reldan Oss is the cataloguer for objects recovered from sealed chambers. On this thaw season visit, the work begins with the threshold inventory and the release slips signed by conservators; only after the entry is checked can the crew say what the rule asks of the people below.
29 objects with a public catalogue entry were entered this cycle, compared with 26 in the prior file. The figure is one part of a longer handoff. Ava Korr checked the threshold inventory and the release slips signed by conservators against the field notes. The method is to note who made a record, who preserved it and who can still consult it; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
The first catalogue calls the objects ceremonial; conservators say the recovered context is too mixed to confirm their use. The current record does not settle that disagreement. Residents closest to the work describe the difference as a route, a wait or a shift that cannot be moved on a slate. Their accounts have been attached to the docket rather than folded into the total.
The clerk has matched the claim to its source register and named the missing record. The entry belongs to the closeout hearing file at the catalogue desk at the Old Gallery threshold. The archive will separate observed material from attributed history in each entry. The next visit will show whether the revision travels beyond the office that wrote it.
