Illustration Query
Quoted text:
3.5 Mesopotamian weights from third-millennium BC Lagash: The earliest known weight (of Dudu, c. 2400 BC), and duck measure, etc. (reproduced in Berriman,[1] pp. 56, 8).
- A 29 kilogram octopus weight from Knossos, the capital of Crete, approximated the Bronze ingot weights from Hagia Triada (Palmer[2] 1963: p. 110).
Should we add a second illustration, and update the illustration numbering in Chapter 3 and in Chapter 3’s author’s Illustrations list, to also include the second illustration mentioned in the author’s Illustrations list for Illustration 3.5 (see Quoted Text in this Query)?
If so, where should it be inserted inside the chapter body?
See also: this query from the body of Chapter 3.
