Record ID: DEV-198934
Object type: CLASP
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
sub-rectangular flat silver object, possibly a bracelet fragment (?). The two long edges undulate and the object becomes narrower at one end. At the narrow short edge there is a transverse loop made of wire and soldered on. At the wider short edge it is possible to see that another element had been soldered on, but is now missing. Both sides are decorated, but this is undistinguishable.

County: West Berkshire

This cast metal fragment appears to be the side wall of a cylindrical vessel, approximately 90mm diameter and made from what appears to be bronze. The top edge (in the image) seems to have a moulding suggesting a rim was just above it and on the reverse it starts to roll to the front. The lower edge also seems to have broken quite evenly and straight. At approximately the mid-point a hole has been drilled (or cast?) from the outside surface inwards as it is countersunk.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead object, probably a small weight of uncertain date. The weight is plano-convex having a flat base and domed top with rounded edges. No traces of decoration are present.
The metal has a creamy white colour and is slightly worn. The weight is 13.9mm in diameter, 5.5mm thick and weighs 5.1g.
Such objects are difficult to date with any degree of certainty without contextual evidence or any diagnostic features therefore this object must be attributed a broad date ranging from Roman to Post-medieval.

Record ID: DENO-47DD60
Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Battered strip of thin lightweight white metal, perhaps silver. The original dimensions of the strip must have been c. 26mm x 18mm, but it has been folded roughly in half down the long axis. The fold is not particularly sharp, and it is possible that it was folded over something organic such as cloth or thin leather which has not survived. On each face are two rows of sub-triangular or rectangular punchmarks set transversely and apparently not in neat pairs. The stamp used may have been a square stamp held at an angle.
This object is hand-made, but cannot be identified or closely dated.
