WILT-FCA492: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy unidentified object, possibly a spoon terminal, of unknown date. It is simplistic, cone shaped, with, at the top, hair or a halo shown by incised lines running from the top of the head to the rear, two drilled dots for eyes, and a suggestion of the shape of a face with the addition of curved groove below the eyes. A longitudinal moulding to left of the body may represent an arm or something held to the body. The overall shape suggests the figure wears a robe or long dress. It appears the figure was cast hollow, or partly so. The roughly circular base shows a cream coloured filling with black centre. Dimensions: 23.2mm in height/length; 8.4mm diameter of base 3.76g in weight

WMID-FCA299: TOKEN
A complete lead alloy uni-face token of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date, circa AD 1400-1800. The token is circular in plan. The obverse has a central circular pellet, with 12 radiating overlapped petals forming a flower. Representing Powell Type1 (symbolic petalled flower). The reverse is flat and undecorated. The token has a cream / brown patina across both surfaces. Measurements: diameter 24.5mm, thickness 2.4mm, weight 7.6 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850AD), those which seem to mimic Medieval penny designs are deemed to be Medieval, the remainder which carry stylised designs remain difficult to date but the majority are probably Post Medieval in date c.1500-1800. Powell (2012) comments that Type 1, 31, and 3 are designs which were commonly made stock and occur in large quantities, dating to the late 16th to mid-19th centuries. Powell, D. (2012) The 18th Century Sophistication of the Stock Design. Lead Token Paragraph. Issue 86. Similar tokens have been recorded on the PAS database at, WMID-48EBD1 and BERK-86F6C6.

WILT-FC8897: STUD
A complete probably Roman copper alloy stud dating to cAD 43 - 410. It appears to be the letter S, but with pointed ends so it may simply be a sinuous shape. It is D shaped in section, hollow backed, with a rectangular lug in centre back, probably shorter than originally. Dimensions: 21.5mm in length; 13.1mm in width; 3.8mm thick; 2.12g in weight Read (2021: 33 and 35) no 198 is very similar. He suggests his example, from South Wiltshire, dates to the Roman period.

WILT-FC7041: AMPULLA
An incomplete Medieval lead alloy flask shaped ampulla, dating to c AD1350 - 1530. There is an early break in the lead by the neck, leaving a crack and small hole, and the two suspension handles are largely missing. On the body of one face it shows six simple rays, or a saltire cross with a vertical line through the centre. The other face has hatching in the lower part of the round surmounted by a line of small pellets and a scene with stylised tree in the centre. The rest is confused. Dimensions: 49mm in height; 35.2mm in width; 6.8mm thick; 41.37g in weight See WILT-7044CC re the design with tree. Ampullae were popular with pilgrims from the later 12th century to the 14th century after which point they became increasingly replaced by pilgrim badges. Unlike the badges, which were normally worn on the hat, ampullae were suspended on a chain or chord and worn around the neck (Spencer,1990,58). Reference: Spencer, B.

SWYOR-FBBEAD: BUCKLE
An incomplete Medieval copper alloy looped buckle frame of Cassels type 1.4E, with the separate bar, pin and plate all missing, dating from approximately AD 1250 - 1600. The frame is formed of a simple strip of thick copper alloy bar, of circular section, bent into a C shape and flattened at the ends, used edge on. The ends are extended out at slightly diverging angles and drilled to hold the separate strap bar. The outer face of terminals are decorated with radiating ridges, like a scallop shell. It has a green/brown patina. The object has a length of 29.03mm, a width of 28.36mm, a thickness of 7.31mm and a weight of 3.77g. Some very similar examples are SWYOR-470903. Egan (2007:99) illustrates another possible example, no.725, although lacking its strap bar. He suggests "this unusual method of manufacture of the frame is a low technology one, which would have avoided the use of fixed plant as used in casting." He also illustrates a range of clasps made in the same way and, in the absence of excavated dated examples of the buckles, by parallel with the clasps suggests a late 14th to early 15th century date (ibid:100). There are similar examples on the database including NLM-E13F83, SF-34E324, NMS-104CF2, SOM-ED83D2 and SWYOR-B472A3.

LVPL-FBB786: LITHIC IMPLEMENT

SWYOR-FBAF35: THIMBLE
A partially flattened and incomplete silver thimble dating from AD 1620 - 1700. The longitudinal seam has split open and the thimble is badly squashed. The top (assuming it had one) is missing. A separate piece of silver wire is applied to the base to thicken the rim. This has partially separated from the thimble. The walls are decorated with neat horizontal rows of rectangular or triangular pits. There is a band at the base, delineated by three circumferential incised lines above and two below. There are another two similar lines at the top of the walls. The band is engraved with + FEAR[E] GOD followed by incised oblique lines \\// \\\. There is no visible maker's mark or hallmark. The thimble is 24.6mm tall, 20.8mm wide and 6.9mm thick. 2.9g. The surface of the thimble is flaking and has a grey blue colour from the anaerobic conditions in which it was found. There is no close parallel in Read (2018) but this thimble is tall and narrow, which coupled with its composite construction and decorative elements suggest a mid-late 17th century date (Read 2018, 46 forwards). Similar examples, including those with a typically 17th century pious phrase engraved, have been reported as treasure previously. Compare KENT-E2FEF1 (2019 T859), HESH-4E1ABA (2017 T580) and SOM-62A2F8 (2012 T134). Similar examples in Read (ibid) also have strapwork decoration which is not found on this example.

A corroded and pierced copper-alloy jetton; A Medieval jetton, probably produced in Tournai in the late 15th century, AD 1415 - 1497. The jetton is pierced with a rectangular perforation which is off-centre. The jetton has a diameter of 25.97mm, a thickness of 1.15mm and a weight of 25.97mm. Lozenge containing 4 fleur de lis; unclear, possibly fictitious short triple stranded cross fleuretty in a tresssure of four arches; unclear, possibly fictitious The jetton is not directly paralleled in Mitchiner (1988) but the obverse is similar to French examples on page 209 which have a similar lozenge shield but a short cross pattee fleuretty or feuilly on the reverse. Mitchiner suggests (ibid:206) that four fleur de lis in a lozenge became the standard design in the later 15th century and continued to be common into the early 16th century. He illustrates Tournai issues (ibid:238-9) with four lis in a lozenge shield and a plain cross pattee, again dating to the later 15th-early 16th century, but these have a smaller shield within a four arched tressure and flowers in the quarters of the cross pattee. The jetton is also similar to number 648 (page 221) but there is a legend on the reverse. This seems therefore to be a composite of existing known designs. A close parallel has not been foudn on the PAS database, but compare SOM-3C90D1 and IOW-4257F2.

NMGW-FA7F3F: BROOCH
A near complete cast copper alloy and iron sprung Birdlip type brooch of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date (c. 30-60 AD). The brooch is undoubtedly of Birdlip Type but is not well paralleled in Mackreth (2011) and appears to lack the typical upturned “beak/tongue”. The brooch is in good condition and nearly intact- the only missing element is the iron pin and spring mechanism, attested solely by iron corrosion product left on the lug. The now absent spring was secured by a single sturdy (3.3mm wide by 8.2mm long) perforated lug, now both partially covered and filled by iron corrosion product. The lug is attached to the reverse of an expanded sub-oval plate reminiscent of trumpet derivative brooch heads. The top of the plate bears a moulded terminal lobe giving the plate dimensions of 13.8mm high and 12.6mm wide. A small, stepped moulding integral to the front of the plate leads down into a curved, U sectioned transverse channel at the centre of which the head is 7.4mm wide. From this point the top of the head curves sharply up into the head moulding, and the sides and rear expand out, forward, and down into the moulding. The head moulding is elaborate and executed in stylised zoomorphic form. The moulding has the maximum dimensions of 16.3mm long, 11.1mm wide and 6.8mm thick. The moulding is separated into two parts of a whole by a central deep moulded transverse channel (4.1mm long, 6.9mm wide), narrower in width at its centre than the mouldings flanking it. The upper part of the head (“cranium”) moulding has a domed top with flat base defined by a transverse groove running along the top of the central channel when viewed from the front but has notably flared sides when viewed from above or below. These moulded flared sides bear longitudinal channels (c.6.5mm long) that flank a central decorated strip. This strip is defined by two incised grooves running in parallel down the head and flaring out to join the base groove of the “cranium”. These grooves form a central strip that is decorated with a line of incised repeated cross hatches and a single incised chevron at the bottom joined to the base groove of the “cranium”. The lower part of the head (“nose”) moulding is broadly U shaped and runs down the bow, with a small, moulded peak at the very top and centre (reminiscent of the upturned “beak/tongue” typical of the type). The “nose” is rounded, and recurves slightly to join the bow. Two moulded indents set at an angle flank the central strip of the “nose”, which curves down from the peak evenly. The effect of this complex moulding is not easily apparent until viewed from the foot towards the head moulding- at which point the stylised face of a small cow with suggested horns is facing the viewer straight on and if the bow is taken to be the tongue, blowing a raspberry at the viewer. As the brooch would have been worn head down, with the foot pointing up to the wearer's head, this may have been a piece of private humour visible only. The bow projects down to the foot straight from the bovine head moulding, and measures 3.2mm thick and 7.4mm wide at its highest point. It has a very flat oval section at this point, with slightly convex front, back and sides, and appears to grow flatter as it heads towards the foot. The bow sides taper down to the foot, and the bow profile is slightly recurved. The foot itself is simple- a little 2.7mm long, 4.9mm wide, 3mm thick lip at the end of the bow decorated by a transverse groove. The entire length of the bow is decorated by incised linear decoration, with a groove running the length of each edge, forming a central field. The field is decorated by 7 groups of parallel diagonal lines alternating in direction to create a zig zag effect. Most of the groups have three lines each, but the second and seventh group from the top have two and one lines respectively. The 29.5mm long catchplate is intact and runs to the back of the foot. It is strongly curved, solid, open at the bottom and sweeps down from a small lip at its top The brooch is in good condition, with much of the surfaces still being covered by white metal surface treatment. This appears to have been applied to every surface of the brooch possible, including the reverse. It would be desirable to use XRF technology to define the nature of the treatment. The remaining areas of surface are patinated green. Two similar examples recorded on the database are PUBLIC-6B67B8 and LEIC-1523C9, which share the flat bow decorated with linear incised decoration, single perforated lug spring mechanism, and possible stylised bovine moulding. PUBLIC-6B67B8 is notably similar in the foot moulding, the use of white metal surface treatment and the length of c. 54mm from foot to top of the head moulding. A third, fragmentary member of this group is WAW-7B13A3, currently recorded as a trumpet brooch but unmistakably with the same head moulding as the other brooches. As PUBLIC-6B67B8 was found c. 3.5 miles from this object these similarities raise the possibility of either a single craftsperson responsible for the two, or a local stylistic tradition.

SWYOR-FA09EA: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy spur buckle, dating from AD 1250 - 1400. The plate is sub-triangular in plan and d-shaped in cross section. The plate is integrally cast and is long and narrow. There is a sub-centered perforation in each end with the copper-alloy rivets in situ. The front face is decorated with a fleur de lis terminal and transverse bands. It is missing the frame and some of the copper alloy pin. The buckle has a mid-green patina and shows signs of gilding on the front face. Dimensions: The buckle has a length of 40.79mm, a width of 12.02mm, a thickness of 4.88mm and a weight of 2.93g. Thomas Flynn notes, that 'the long type with rivets and no hook are very common finds on the PAS database (although mysteriously absent from London and other urban contexts) and it is hard to imagine that every single one was used on a spur. Some are rather over-long and spindly, and also seem too flimsy for this use, so perhaps weren’t spur buckles at all'.

NCL-F94C8E: STRAP FITTING
A probable fragment from a copper alloy sword-belt hanger, c. 1500-1700 AD. The artefact comprises a flat plate with irregular lobed detail, and an integrally cast suspension loop or ring. Three of the lobes on the flat plate appear to be real terminals, with an extended arm leading to a curved, broken, terminal. The artefact is undecorated on either face. It has a greenish brown patina with patches of red, rust coloured corrosion. The dimensions and presence of a suspension loop suggest this is part of a sword-belt hanger, although most comparable examples on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (see for example: WMID-7474B9, SUR-0F7CD2, LANCUM-ED1832) are significantly more decorated. At present, no close parallel has been found for this example. Dimensions - Length: 48.02mm; height: 46.56mm; thickness: 6.41mm; weight: 23.77g.

SWYOR-F94952: SHOT

The ball is distorted, but no casting seam is visible. Dimensions: The shot has a length of 17.17mm, a diameter of 15.89mm and a weight of 34.11g. The mass suggests use in a musket.

SWYOR-F9440C: STRAP END
A worn, near complete copper-alloy Anglo-Scandinavian strap-end, dating from about AD 1000-1100. The strap-end consists of a narrow body with a bifurcated attachment-end which survives almost intact, with a copper alloy rivet. The shaft is almost square in cross section, and at the terminal end, expands into a zoomorphic animal head. The strap end appears to be of Thomas's Class B type 6 which is defined by having an beast head terminal seen from the side. This example is three dimensionally moulded, but at right angles to the plane of the strap attachment , so the front/top of the animal's head is seen on a face with the split of the strap attachment visible. The head has moulded ears, and a waist before the muzzle. The object is patintated to green and red. The object is 40.7mm long, 6.6mm wide, 5.6mm thick and weighs 5.88g. This strap-end would be classified by Gabor Thomas (2000, 105) as Class B, Type 6 (B6), which he defines as 'animal headed designed to be viewed side on. As Thomas (2000, 205) observes, these strap-ends tend to be related to the Ringerike and Urnes styles of late Viking Art and a dating of the 11th century can thus be suggested for these strap-ends. In the cases of this strap-end we do not have elements of interlace knotwork present which would allow us to assign this strap-end to the Ringerike or Urnes styles and thus narrow the date range to one half of the 11th century or other.

SWYOR-F938EE: KEY (LOCKING)
An incomplete copper-alloy rotary key of medieval date, about AD 1300 - 1500. It is of London type VI. All that remains is the bow which is an openwork quatrefoil in plan. A flat rectangular stem projects from the bottom lobe of the bow and terminates in an old break. The key is 33.2mm long, 23.8mm wide and 4.6mm thick. It weighs 6.9g. Compare YORYM-CEE247 and see Geake, H. (201) Finds Recording Guide: Keys; It is possible that this is a separate bow for a London type VI key, and that the projecting tab owould have fitted into a slot on a separately made bow. Compare SWYOR-D4BC77

SWYOR-F93893: COIN
An incomplete of a Roman silver denarius of Julia Domna under Septimius Severus dating from AD 196 - 211 (Reece Period 10).

See RIC IV Septimius Severus 548 (denarius) (http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.ss.548_denarius). Less than half of the coin survives. The coin is 12.8mm long, 13.8mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 1.36g.

ESS-F9332C: KNIFE
An incomplete worked flint knife of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1500BC) Description: The object is broadly triangular in plan and trapezoid in cross section. It has been produced from a tertiary flake of translucent light brown flint. The mesal curve equally to form a point at the distal end but there is a clean break across the object so the proximal end is missing. One face is slightly flatter and has invasive, sub-parallel, low angle retouch. The other face is slightly convex and has covering,scaled, low angle retouch. Measurements: Length: 27.5mm, width: 24.2mm, thickness: 3.5mm, weight: 3.27g.

OXON-F928B5: BROOCH
A fragment from an elaborate copper alloy Continental plate brooch of Roman date, c. AD 180-220. The fragment consists of a circular plate, diameter c. 16mm across. On two sides (not fully diametrically opposed), there are the remains of broken circular loops, which would have had a similar diameter to the plate. Centrally between these two loop attachment points along the circumference of the plate sits a single rounded knop on one side, and a group of three such knops, regularly spaced on the other. These projections give the plate an almost octagonal appearance. The plate is flat and undecorated on the back. On the front, the edges are raised to accomodate a central enamelled design. This consists of a larger blue central circle, the edges of which are quite degraded. This would have been surrounded by a ring of 10 smaller white enamel dots. White enamel only remains in four of these dots, in pairs of holes on opposing sides of the central blue circle. The metal portion is mostly a dark grey-green colour; this patina is quite compact and slightly shiny. The fragment is 20.85mm long, 16.04mm wide and 2.18mm thick. It weighs 2.91 grams. The fragment appears to derive from a large plate brooch of Feugère (1985: 185) type 27d2, which consisted of an alternating arrangement of solid circular enamelled plates and annular rings arranged symmetrically around a central plate. A comparable example of such a brooch resides in the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren, Belgium, and this has been dated to AD 180-220. The discussion on the object page for the parallel in the Tongeren museum mentions this to be a rare find even in Belgium, with only a few comparable examples. The type is also found in the Rhine region and was probably made in the Roman provinces of Pannonia or Moesia, an area to the south of the Danube, between the Alps and the Black Sea. The presence of such fibulae in Belgium (and, presumably, Britain) is related to the mobility of Roman soldiers, particularly auxiliary troops which had been stationed in the eastern parts of the Empire. Pieces like these might have been brought back by the soldiers on their return. The Belgian example was found in a grave, so was presumably buried along with its original owner or one of their descendants.

SWYOR-F91142: MOUNT
A complete copper-alloy oval mount dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods, about AD 1400 - 1700. The mount is a pointed oval in plan, convex on the front and concave on the reverse. On the reverse face is a centrally placed integral spike, which is square in cross section and tapers to a point. The object has a dark-green patina on both the front and reverse and there are traces of a white metal coating. Dimensions: The object has a length of 21.17mm, a width of 11.15mm, a thickness including fixing spike of 9.47mm and a weight of 2.56g. For reference of similar objects, see SWYOR-3110DA and BH-C4490B.

SWYOR-F91059: FURNITURE FITTING
An incomplete copper-alloy and iron probable furniture fitting, probably dating to the Post-Medieval period, about AD 1700 - 1900, though compare also WMID-4CCDD1, a Roman key with a similar copper alloy bead threaded on an iron shaft. The object, possibly part of a drawer handle, is comrpised of an iron shank with a sub-squared profile. This shank runs through a copper alloy componant which is baluster-shaped in section and plan. It features a waisted middle between a wider ovoid part and a narrowed collared terminal before revealing the iron shank. The shank which protrudes from both ends of the copper-alloy terminate with worn breaks. Dimensions: The object is 21.2mm in length, has a maximum diameter of 9.9mm and it weighs 4.34g. For reference of similar objects in the PAS database, see YORYM-4C73F2 and NLM-71D37F.

SWYOR-F8FC2B: BUCKLE
An incomplete, copper alloy fragment, probably a buckle plate, medieval in date about AD 1200-1450. It is rectangular in shape and comprises two plates. These are held together with three copper alloy dome-headed rivets spaced equally along the centre. The edges at one end are distorted and curved inwards; the opposite broken edge is horizontal and is probably where the plate was originally hinged. The back plate is narrower and shorter. It has a green and brown patina. It is 24.4mm long, 8.8mm wide and 3.7mm thick. It weighs 1.6 g. There are possible traces of gilding. A more complete example is IOW-232987.

SWYOR-F8F660: COIN
A Roman copper alloy coin; a radiate of Victorinus (AD 269-271) dating to AD 269-271 (Reece period 13). [INVICTVS] reverse type depicting Sol advancing left. Probably Mint 1. The coin is 18.0mmin diameter, 1.4mm thick and weighs 1.47g.

NARC-F8F504: AXEHEAD
A complete iron Axehead of Medieval date (AD 1000-1550). Type I or Type 4 'bearded' axehead. The axehead is solid cast and has a crescent wedge-shaped blade. In cross section the socket is wide and shield-shaped, like a wide triangle with rounded vertical sides. Length: 123.29mm, Width (blade): 108.38mm, Width (butt): 46.81mm, Thickness (blade): 47.57mm, Thickness (butt): 7.80mm, Weight: 649.00g Length (aperture): 41.51mm, Width (aperture): 18.41mm The metal is dark brown and heavily pitted. Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: DUR-F7E257, LVPL-AEA265, NMGW-108701 and WILT-919D8F. The object dates to the Medieval-Post Medieval period due to the shape of its socket, which is similar to the woodsmen type 1 axehead seen on page 57, Figure 12 No 4 A13508. The object also has similarities to the Type 4B Medieval bearded axes seen in The London Medieval Museum Catalogue 1940, page 62 Figure 14 Nos 3 and 4, A1476 due to the shape of the blade, however it is more similar to the Type 1 as it is not clear whether the blade projects downwards due to corrosion and the blunt nature of its blade. The axe lacks the projecting hammer end of Roman axeheads meaning it is dated to the Medieval-Post Medieval periods. Axeheads likely were individually hand made by local Smiths, conventional patterns are not necessarily followed and without any more secure dating context a wide date range is necessary.

OXON-F8D96F: BROOCH
A fragment from a copper alloy Roman disc or plate brooch. The curvature of the fragment suggests that it derives from a brooch which would have taken the form of a single flat circular ring rather than a more elaborate openwork design. One side of the fragment features raised edges along the internal and external circumference, suggesting there may once have been enamel or other inlaid decoration present on this side; the other side is flat and undecorated. It consists of just under a quarter of a circular flat ring. The brooch is mostly a matte mid-grey-green colour with some paler powdery corrosion in patches. The fragment is 21.38mm long, 13.88mm wide and 1.74mm thick. It weighs 1.59 grams. The curvature suggests the fragment most likely derives from an enamelled ring-shaped disc-brooch such as WILT-D4F161, which has been assigned a date of c. AD 80-250. This resembles types illustrated by Mackreth (2011: pl 116, particularly no. 10998) However, it cannot be excluded that the brooch was more elaborate in shape, like OXON-349D41 or KENT-E50E54. Similar brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000: 347, nos. 546 and 1136) which are described as disc brooches dating to the 2nd century AD. Similarly, Mackreth illustrates similar brooches thought to be continental in origin and dating from the 1st to 2nd century AD (Mackreth 2011: pl 117, particularly nos. 11050 and 11055).

DUR-F8CF47: WEIGHT
A complete lead weight of the medieval period (AD1100-1300). The weight is circular with a wide slanted, slightly rounded side and a flat almost convex base.The upper face is decorated with a ten petalled flower with a raised central bud. Diameter: 34.38 mm; Thickness: 13.77 mm; Weight: 111.88 g The weight is similar to a number of other so-called ' 'floriated cross' weights on the PAS database (see SUSS-2FD427 and KENT-79A82E) which Biggs (1992, 41) suggests were used to measure large bullion payments and were in use between the 12th and 13th centuries. At 111g the weight is equivalent to 3.5 English Troy ounces (see Biggs 1992, p8 and p16). Reference: Biggs, N., 1992. English weights: an illustrated survey.

OXON-F8416C: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Colchester one piece brooch dating from the Late Iron Age to Roman period (c. AD 25-60). The brooch survives as the entire bow, left of the spring, and foot, and part of the catchplate. The right of the spring and pin are missing. The head of the brooch possesses two short bi-lateral wings which have a total width of 12.20mm. These wings are rectangular when viewed from the front of the brooch, and narrow triangular when viewed from the top. From the back/middle of the wings projects a central bar which turns into a spring with three coils to the left followed by a straight horizontal section. The bow, which is plain and undecorated, projects from the front of the wings with a width of c. 5mm. It is sub-rectangular in cross section and gradually narrows down its length to a minimum width of 1.40mm at the foot. The remaining small section of the catchplate is around 1mm thick and is bent to the right. The brooch has a green-brown patina. The brooch is 42.41mm long, 14.55mm wide at the wings including the surviving spring, c. 16mm thick in profile and weighs 4.12 grams. Similar brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000: 296, fig. 155 particularly no. 14) and Mackreth (2011, pl. 22). The latter describes the type as one from south-eastern Britain which are defined by their cross bar protecting an integral spring. Bayley and Butcher (2004: 149) state that this form was made before the Roman conquest and continued into the middle of the 1st century AD. Both the dates provided by Hattat (2000: 296) and Mackreth (2011: 38) support this. Similar examples on the database from Oxfordshire include OXON374840, OXON-D2B665, OXON-DF1C67 and OXON- 26B7A5.

DUR-F83C16: TANKARD
An incomplete copper alloy tankard handle of the later Iron Age or early Roman period (BC150-AD100). The object is roughly T shaped with a small section of a loop at its base. The arms of the cross section slant slightly to the centre where there is an incised groove. Near the end of the arms there is a small hole where a pin or nail would have attached the handle to the vessel. The arms are flat on the reverse, curving down to a shaft with a large knop just above the crown of the loop where only part of one side remains. Due to corrosion there is no decoration visible on the surface of the metal. More complete examples of these tankard handles can be seen on the database at LIN-96EDE3, HESH-10355A, and HESH-B30272. The record for the latter cites Corcoran's (1952) corpus of Tankards and Tankard Handles, and as with the example discussed above, this style of handle is classed as a 'Mirror Type' (Class / Type IV) due to the similarity of the loops to form cast handles often seen on mirrors of the late first century BC and early first century AD such as that on the mirror from Holcombe, Devon (Megaw and Megaw 2001, p. 211 and fig. 353). The record for HESH-B30272 also notes that while Corcoran's (1952) typology may need revision, particularly with reference to the growing corpus on the PAS database, the typology and dating are is still generally valid. Jope (2000: 130-132) also discusses tankards and their handles illustrating the majority of known examples in museum collections (Plates 22226-230); he notes that Tankards are peculiarly British phenomenon with 30 known from Britain and one from Ireland.

DUR-F7FE96: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A complete lead steelyard weight with iron attachment fitting dating to the Roman period, c. AD 43-410. The object is broadly bi-conical with a slightly flattened top and almost pointed base. There is an iron loop still in place at the top the end of which can be seen at the base. The surface of the metal is pitted and marked and is generally of a cream and pale brown colouring with rust staining where the iron shows. Diameter: 30.18 mm; Height: 38.49 mm; Weight: 111.88 g. See KENT-3A0E1B , BH-432A08, YORYM-3157B4 and YORYM-1D9563 on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database for similar steelyard weights.

OXON-F6E68B: BUCKLE
A fragment from a Post-Medieval (AD 1720-1790) cast copper alloy two-piece buckle, with drilled frame to hold a separate pin or spindle (now lost). The fragment consists of the majority of a long edge of the rectangular frame (top or bottom), which thickens at the centre to accommodate a drilled hole. The fragment curves in profile - a common feature in shoe buckles where the bowed frames fit the arch of the instep of the foot. The fragment is subrectangular in plan and of an openwork design with triangular and other angular apertures. The buckle has a mostly compact dark brown surface, which is matte in appearance with some paler brown encrustations. The fragment is 48.20mm long, 11.14mm wide and 6.81mm thick at the spindle hole. It weighs 7.20 grams. Although no exact parallel is found, the buckle is most similar to the types illustrated by Whitehead (1996: 107) referred to as being decorated in the Artois style, no. 689 being perhaps the most similar in style of decoration. These highly curved and ornate, often openwork, buckles are named after Louis XVI’s brother, the Comte d'Artois who as French Ambassador to England introduced them into this country.

OXON-EA561B: PENDANT
Post Medieval (17th to 20th century) pendant or setting: The copper alloy pendant is oval with abraded edges. The outer face has a high-relief standing figure wearing drapery and is facing left. No details are clear due to corrosion and abrasion. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The surface has traces of a dark green patina, but is has red copper corrosion. The pendant measures 25.71mm long, 14.43mm wide, 3.66mm thick and weighs 3.47g. The object is possibly a pendant, but due to abrasion there is no loop or fixing points so the identification is uncertain. The pendant possibly dates to the Post Medieval period based on the style and nature of the corrosion.

SUR-EA46A9: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy strap mounted suspension plate from a post Medieval sword belt fitting. The plate has waisted trefoil terminals, drilled for attachment, which expand into the middle before constricting into a central lozengiform section which is also drilled for attachment. The front surface has deeply moulded foliate decoration and traces of rusted iron rivets remain at the attachment holes. From the lower side of the plate project three round suspension lugs, which retain hooked suspension attachments, only one of which is complete. Circa 16th century.

OXON-EA3C01: BUCKLE
Medieval (mid 12th to the 14th century) buckle: A single looped cast copper alloy buckle frame which is a 'D' shape in plan with a narrowed and off-set strap bar.

OXON-EA2A34: BUCKLE
Medieval (13th to mid 15th centuries) copper alloy buckle plate: The buckle plate is folded in half. In the centre of the fold there is a circular perforation on both plates which allows for the pin to be positioned. The edges of the fold have been slightly cut so that the fold is narrowed. The lower plate is slightly narrowed compared tothe upper plate. There are three dome headed rivets, one at each corner on the edge opposite the fold and the third in the centre of the plates. The upper plate is undecorated and has fine scratches across the surface, possibly due to cleaning/polishing. The pin is a square sectioned pin which narrows to a blunt point at the terminals. The surface of the plate has a dark green shiny patina. The rivets have a matte mid brown surface. The plate measures 43.88mm long along the plate, 28.96mm wide, 6.99mm thick across the central rivet, and weighs 11.13g.

OXON-E4E357: DRESS FASTENER (UNKNOWN)
Post Medieval (mid 16th to 17th centuries) dress fastener - eye-clasp. A copper alloy dress fastening which is the 'eye' and not the 'hook'. The body of the dress fastening is a sub-oval which is waisted in plan with a truncated terminal. One terminal has a integral circular loop on each corner and the the other terminal a central, incomplete, circular loop. The clasp is undecorated. The surface is abraded, but has patches of a mid green patina. It measures 23.03mm long, 17.85mm wide, 1.69mm thick, and weighs 2.36g The object is probably a dress-fastening, but according to Read (2008:164-5) there is no certain evidence for this. This dress fastener is classified as Read Class A, which probably dates to the early Post Medieval period, perhaps the mid 16th to 17th centuries. Read, B. 2008 Hooked-Clasps and Eyes Portcullis Publishing

OXON-E4BAB8: SEAL MATRIX
Post Medieval (18th - 19th century) copper alloy fob seal with a stone intaglio in-situ. The fob seal is sub-rectangular with rounded corners in plan and in profile, when looking at the stem is sub conical. The stem and seal matrix is broken into two pieces. The stem has a sub-oval loop at the tip and beneath an openwork inverted lis design which is seated on a casing for the intaglio which is decorated with vertical, radiating grooves. The lower edge of the case is plain with the exception of a horizontal groove. The stem is broken along the decoration portion of the casing which is very thin. There are traces of gilding on the surface of the stem and casing, otherwise the surface has a red-brown corrosion. The intaglio is a mottled light grey-blue colour which appears to have developed a patina. On the face of the intaglio where we expect to see the low relief design the surface is slight laminated, worn and damaged, therefore the design is not clear. The fob seal measures, if the two parts are joined, 29.47mm long, 20.56mm wide, 17.99mm thick and weighs 21.58g. The fob seal matrix probably dates to the 18th to 19th century. The PAS Finds Guide states 'A ‘fob’ was originally a small pocket, for a watch or similar; it was also used for the chain holding the watch (short for ‘fob chain’)'.

Post Medieval (mid 17th to late 17th century) trade token. Trade tokens were issued between 1648 and 1672 at a time when there was little low denomination coinage being issued by the crown. As a result traders and business proprietors began issuing tokens as an alternate coinage with equivalent denominations of a farthing, half penny or penny. Such trade tokens rarely travel far from their place of issue and provide an insight to the trade of the time. In 1672 regal copper coinage was introduced and the trade tokens were then banned (Besly 1997, 20).

NMS-BDC54E: FINGER RING
Fragment of a finger ring of Guiraud (1989) Type 4a. The circular bezel is extant, except for some small fragments around the edge and both upper (external) and lower (internal) surfaces, lost to abrasion or impact. It has a shallow circular depression on top for a missing inlay. The hoop is almost entirely missing. A short stub survives on one side only, developing from the bezel with concave lateral edges as it narrows. It is a fairly flat (elongated) oval in cross-section. It terminates in a worn break at less than one third of the diameter of the bezel. The break at the opposite side of the bezel is worn and virtually invisible. The metal is patinated dark brown except for the recessed surface, which is a paler reddish-brown, and the scars of the perhaps more recent abrasions on the upper and lower faces of the bezel, which are pale green. Mid-1st to 3rd century. Length: 12.8mm. Width (diameter of bezel): 10.1mm, (hoop at break): 3.2mm. Thickness (bezel): 2.6mm, (hoop at break): 1.0mm. Weight: 1.0g

WAW-BC617E: FINGER RING
An incomplete, copper alloy finger ring of likely Roman date (c. AD 43-400). The object mainly comprises the bezel and parts of the shoulders. The bezel is flat and sub-rectangular in plan with an integrally cast copper alloy setting in the shape of a raised lozenge. The external face of the lozenge appears to carry some decoration in the form of one or possibly two recessed elements, but they are now heavily worn, thus precluding identification. The walls of the lozenge are straight. The shoulders start off wide and taper towards the breaks, with there being raised rims on the outside edges of the shoulders and seemingly also having raised, central triangular shapes originating in the bezel and continuing down the shoulders. The object has a largely dark green patina with some lighter sections. There are a number of similar objects recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, including SF-DB1A53, BERK-11F57D, BUC-402934, and PUBLIC-7C0DF4. Many of the records would suggest that this may fall under the category of Henig Type VIII. Dimensions. Length: 16.88mm. Width: 8.03mm. Thickness (bezel): 3.01mm. Thickness (shoulders): 1.51mm. Weight: 1.42g.

WAW-B9A442: RING
A copper alloy object of unknown date, possibly a ring of Medieval date (c. AD 1100-1500), possibly forming part of a harness fitting, strap fitting or other fitting such as a suspension chain. The main body object consists of a copper alloy ring, oval in plan and sub-hexagonal in cross section. The ring section is 26.05mm high and 23.18mm wide and has a maximum bandwidth of 5.35mm, though it varies, as does the thickness of the ring. There are casting seems on the internal and external surface of the ring. At the apex of the ring, there is a pointed oval sectioned shaft that bends to one side. From this shaft emerges a worn, roughly drop shaped conical projection that reaches 11.75mm long and 13.29mm wide at the top - due to part of the projection bending downward at an angle, this results in the overall length of the object being shorter. The shaft and projection could be part of the casting jet for an unfinished ring. The object has a largely dark, brownish green patina with some lighter green patches. Dimensions. Length: 11.29mm. Width: 23.18mm. Height: 36.71mm. Weight: 14.04g.

An incomplete, copper alloy crotal bell of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The object is composed of two hemispheres divided by a raised, circumferential rib. The top hemisphere is incomplete and would have had two sound holes on opposite sides of the bell, though most of one half of the top hemisphere is missing, thus resulting in only one sub-oval (8.87mm long, 7.56mm wide) sound hole surviving largely in tact. There is a transverse suspension loop that is roughly sub-rectangular in profile that has a roughly sub-circular (4.17mm diameter) central perforation. The lower hemisphere is worn and just under half of the lower hemisphere is missing, resulting in only half of both sound holes remaining. There are remnants of a 'starburst' motif of elongated flutes on both the top and bottom hemispheres, though it is more pronounced on the bottom hemisphere due to the top hemisphere being more heavily worn. The iron ball is missing. The bell has a largely light green patina. Dimensions. Length: 29.72mm. Width: 24.37mm. Height: 38.98mm. Weight: 19.81g.

LVPL-A91961: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead / lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval period (c.AD 1200-1500). The object is biconical in shape with steeped sides rounded edge with a central perforation measuring 7.3mm in diameter. Both faces are worn and present bumpy textured surface which may indicate it was once decorated. The object has a dark cream patina. Dimensions: Diameter 31.2mm; width 8.5mm; weight 32.61g Decorated lead-alloy spindle whorls or weights can be difficult to date as they are not commonly discovered in dateable contexts. Of the decorated spindle whorls that have been found on dateable sites, it is clear they were used from Roman times to the post medieval period. The majority of these objects come from medieval dated sites which is why most spindle whorls such as this one are recorded as dating to the medieval period. This example has a particularly unusual design.

WILT-A88306: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Roman non-zoomorphic buckle, with integral triangular plate dating to c.AD 350-400. The frame is kidney- or heart-shaped in plan, in that it is D-shaped but with a concave front edge. It is sub-circualr in cross-section. The frame is joined to the plate by a bar, which is flat in cross-section and which extends slightly to either side of the frame and plate. Behind the bar the plate begins with a circular pin hole and a smaller pin hole below it. Then in either corner is a smaller countersunk rivet hole. The plate is openwork and incomplete, with a break extending diagonally from just below the left end of the bar, across the diameter of the left rivet hole to the apex. On the right side it can be seen that there is more openwork below the second central pin hole, with the beginnings of an arm extending down the right side. The reverse of the buckle is undecorated. The broken edges are worn. The buckle has a bright green patina. Dimensions: Length 32.4mm; width 34.2mm; thickness 4.1mm; weight 14.86g. Discussion: The author of the database entry for ESS-E52552 states: "Simpson (1976, ‘Belt buckles and strap ends of the Later Roman Empire’, Britannia 7) identifies buckles with concave loops as his Group I, and dates them to the second half of the fourth century (page 204). It is suggested that they form part of the uniform of a regular Roman soldier. However, Simpson’s group all have separate hinged plates and the example recorded here has an integral, fixed plate. H. W. Böhme studied buckles with integral triangular plates as part of his survey of late Roman artefacts in Britain, and the settlement of England by the earliest Anglo-Saxons (Böhme 1986, Liste 1, Abb. 5, Abb. 14). He dated them to the middle or second half of the 4th century and his map shows that they are found in small numbers not only in England and South Wales but also along the European frontier of the Roman Empire, along the Rhine and Danube rivers. Henry (2022: 94) notes that, 'They (triangular plates) date from AD 350 onwards and an example from the inner fort ditch at Richborough is dated to after AD 400 by Lyne (1999), suggesting that as with the round plates, they continue in use to the end of the 4th or into the 5th century. This type is more common on rural sites and is well represented in the PAS. The plates are undecorated'. See also SF-10430 on the PAS database. Ref: Henry, R., 2022, 'Roman Buckles and Brooches'. Ipswich: Greenlight Publishing.

SUSS-A822F0: JETTON

YORYM-A7F3D2: HOOKED TAG
An incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1500 - 1650. Reads Class E, Type 3. The main plate is circular with a moulded-relief openwork design featuring seven lobes around a recessed central circular panel. The panel is undecorated. An integral rectangular attachment loop projects from one side of the main plate and a D-sectioned hook extends from the opposite end. The hook terminates in a worn break. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated. The metal has a mid-brown patina and is worn. The object is 44.1mm long, 21.9mm wide, 1.7mm thick and weighs 4.2g. A similar example is illustrated in Read (2008) p.101, no.384 and is dated to the early Post-Medieval period. The function (or functions) of hooked tags is uncertain. They are small, with a plate and a sharp hook which bends to the rear. What they were stitched to or hooked into is uncertain. They may have hooked into holes in textile or leather, perhaps rather like a buttonhole. Ref: Flynn, T. (2016) Hooked Tags and Other Dress Hooks and Eyes: Hooked Tags and Other Dress Hooks and Eyes – Finds Recording Guides (accessed 26/10/2023). Read, B. (2008). Hooked-Clasps and Eyes.

The object is 28.4mm in length, 16.4mm in width, 4.6mm in thickness and weighs 2.5g. Bit links are bridle fittings of the late early medieval period attached to the ends of an iron snaffle bit to which reins were secured. They were set outside and adjacent to cheekpieces. Their form is similar to double-ended harness links but differ in the presence of the boss adjacent to one of the loops, and their generally shorter lengths. Ref: Williams, D. 2007.

YORYM-A76C9E: BELL
An incomplete copper-alloy one-piece crotal bell of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1600 - 1700. The bell is spherical and hollow, separated into two hemispheres by an integral raised circumferential ridge. An integral sub-rectangular attachment loop projects from the apex of the upper hemisphere with an ovate aperture. The upper hemisphere displays two circular sound holes. A long ovate break resulting in the loss of pat of the side extends from one sound hole to the lower hemisphere. The upper hemisphere is undecorated. The lower hemisphere has an elongated ovate sound slot with open circular terminals. It bears incised decoration which is mirrored to either side of the slot. From the slot outward the decoration comprises a trefoil of elongated triangles pointing inward, within a double banded semi-circular border. From the outer edge of the outer border three long double banded semi-circles project, the rounded ends close to the median ridge. The pea no longer remains. The metal has a dark green/brown patina and is in fair condition. The bell is 43.6mm long, 35.7mm in diameter and weighs 32.5g. the handle is 14.6mm x 4.3mm. Crotal bells are very common finds because they are robust and easily recognised (Geake & Webley, 2019). They were used on horse drawn vehicles from the medieval period onwards and were functional, as well as decorative, as the sound would announce the vehicles approach. Well dated examples are scarce, making close dating of individual bells difficult unless associated with a makers mark. One-piece bells appear to have been in use from the 16th century onward with more elaborately decorated examples appearing slightly later. The two sound holes on one-piece bells is "primarily to facilitate positioning of the core, rather than for transmission of the sound" (Blunt, 2005).

SUR-A746CE: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper alloy post Medieval buckle dating from 1575 - 1700. The frame is asymmetrical with one trapezoidal and one round loop with projecting lobes at the corners, one of which is missing. Traces of rusted iron suggest a lost iron pin. The surface has traces of tinning.

BM-A72F51: PENCIL
A complete lead possible pencil of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1500 - 1800. The object is circular in section with parallel sides tapering to a blunted point at one end. The metal has a light grey/white patina and is pitted. Measurements: Length: 44.45 mm; Width: 9.53 mm; Thickness: 5.33 mm; Weight: 11.38 g A stylus is a writing implement used to scratch letters into the wax of a writing tablet while a pencil makes a coloured mark on wood, paper or parchment. Lead is rarely used for objects that appear to be conventional styli, with the majority of such objects most probably functioning as pencils from the 16th century onward. In record IOW-ED968C, Dr Helen Geake of the Portable Antiquities Scheme has commented: "The use of lead pencils is still not really understood. At Winchester they are found mainly in 13th- or 14th-century contexts, and it was thought some years ago that when graphite was discovered in Cumbria in the late 16th century lead pencils went out of use; but metal-detector finds of well-made mass-produced pencils suggest that in fact they carried on being used well into the post-medieval period". Medieval examples are described and illustrated in Egan (1998, pgs.270-271; fig 209) dating from around 1150 to 1300. They have one end which flares and becomes wedge shaped, probably for erasure of marks made on wax tablets. Roman styli are usually longer and made of iron or copper alloy. Styli and pencils are significant objects, both in showing literacy and in helping us understand more about the actual practice of writing and the production of text. Ref: Egan, G.

WILT-A71BDB: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating to c. AD 75-175. The brooch is missing the spring and pin, the top loop is broken off, as is the foot with the catchplate. The head is oval in shape, with a slightly concave reverse and a lug each side through which the spring would have been fixed. Above the head is a sub-square head plate with the slight remains of the head loop still showing. The bow is sub-triangular in plan. The upper part is decorated with a collar moulding, whilst there is also a central moulding, more prominent than the upper one, comprising a narrow central disc, with less proud discs immediately above and below, both of which have two small notches. These are also flanked above and below by further narrow collars. This decoration is only on the front of the brooch; the reverse is plain except from the central moulding down where there is a narrow indentation to where the slight remains of the catchplate can still be seen. The brooch is green in colour and has an even surface patina. Dimensions: length 47.5mm, width at the head 10.3mm, 10.9mm thick at the integral loop, weight 6.7 grams. cf. Mackreth 2011 Chapter 5, Part 1, Type TR 2.2g, Plate 85 nos. 14685 and 14686 are the most similar, but Mackreth states that this type have a moulding, occasionally two, lying across the trumpet head. The find does not have this feature. Ref: Mackreth, D.F., (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain. Oxford: Oxbow Books.

YORYM-A6E99B: PENCIL
A complete lead-alloy possible pencil or stylus of Medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1100 - 1800. The object is roughly circular in section with broadly parallel sides tapering to a blunted point at one end. The object features longitudinal grooves or striations, one of which is much wider and deeper than the rest. This groove measures 2.49mm in width and runs from the top to the bottom of the object. The top of the object features roughly made grooves around its circumference which forms a subtle head with a flat top. The metal has a light grey/white patina and is worn. The object is 61.29mm long, 7.53mm in diameter and weighs 18.24g. A stylus is a writing implement used to scratch letters into the wax of a writing tablet while a pencil makes a coloured mark on wood, paper or parchment.

They have one end which flares and becomes wedge shaped, probably for erasure of marks made on wax tablets. Similarly, lead-alloy parallels excavated from Lurk Lane in Beverley were identified as styli and found within contexts dated from between c. AD 1070-1500 with the majority found within a c. AD 1190-1400 context (Foreman 1991, p. 156). Roman styli are usually longer and made of iron or copper alloy. Styli and pencils are significant objects, both in showing literacy and in helping us understand more about the actual practice of writing and the production of text. Ref: Egan, G.

KENT-A68485: SERRATED IMPLEMENT
A serrated flint implement, likely of Early Neolithic date, c. 4000 - 3300 BC. Description: The object is a serrated blade, broadly rectangular in plan and triangular in section. The ventral face has a clear striking platform and parallel blade removal down its surface. Along the right-side edge of the ventral face is short stepped low-angle retouch, possibly achieved using a soft hammer. The dorsal face is smooth with only conchoidal rippling. The object is opaque and patinated blue and grey, possibly an indication of being in alluvial deposits. Measurements: Length: 65.89 mm; Width: 24.55 mm; Thickness: 7.44 mm and Weight: 15.38 g.

The mount is conical and moulded in the form of a stylised (facing) lion’s head, with three concentric ridges of increasing diameter surrounding a triangular boss with a small central dot forming the snout. The first concentric ridge around this snout has faint details of a curved recessed line for the mouth; the detail of the eyes on the other two sides of the triangular snout are now concealed by rusted iron concretion. The second concentric ridge has a ring of engraved crescentic lines forming the lion’s mane and the outer ridge forms an undecorated rim to the mount. The reverse of the mount is hollow with traces of a now lost iron shank at the centre.

SUR-A5E465: BUCKLE
A post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle. The frame has bevelled edges with rounded projecting knops on each corner. There are notched pin rests and small moulded lobes at each end of the strap bar. The pin is missing. Circa 1550-1650.

A medieval copper alloy casket key, 34.6mm in length, with a circular bow, a shank of sub-circular cross-section with a hollow end and a simple bit with two clefts. The rear of the bow has heavy wear indicating that the key was suspended from a ring. Circa 12th-15th century.

YORYM-A5C952: BUCKLE
A near complete copper-alloy buckle plate of medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1400. The plate is formed from a single sheet, folded at the integral plate recess for the buckle frame and riveted at the other end. The front and back plates are rectangular with the front plate being larger. Two rivets hold the plates together at the opposite end to the recess. The back plate is slightly damaged around these rivets. The front of the plate is decorated with a design in relief of a quadruped, probably a lion passant advancing left and looking backwards over its shoulder. Its tail is curved in an s-shape over its back. The lion is set within a raised rectangular border. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal has a dark green/brown patina and is worn. The plate is 25.51mm long, 17.99mm wide, 5.91mm thick and weighs 5.06g. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991) pg.111, fig. 72 and are attributed to the thirteenth century. This is a fairly common design of buckle plate and other examples on the database include YORYM-7B22FA, WILT-CDBB9B, BH-A16EE2, SUR-6DFBC8, CAM-6A3626, SF-1EE56D and SWYOR-2083DD.

It bears an interior maker's mark, 'WH', which has been identified with Will Hunter or Will Hitchin, a London goldsmith working at the beginning of the 19th century. Diameter: 16 mm, thickness: 0.75 mm, width: 2 mm and weight 1 g.

KENT-A5A14B: TOKEN
A complete Medieval to Post-Medieval cast lead uniface token of Powell Type 2 (initials), circa AD 1400-1800. Description: The token is sub-circular in plan and has a diameter of 21.98 mm. Both sides are decorated with initials. The obverse inscription is: • J • E and the token is patinated grey and white. The reverse is rotated 90º anticlockwise and has an inscription of: [ ] • F. There is almost certainly another letter preeceding the pellet, however a large area of white corrosion product has obscured this. Dimensions: Diameter: 21.98 mm; Thickness: 3.2 mm and Weight: 8.93 g. Discussion: The dating of lead tokens is often difficult, especially when the designs are so personalised, like initials. Powell (2012) comments that Type 2 is a design which was commonly made stock and occurs in large quantities, dating to the late 16th to mid-19th centuries. These tokens have a wide variety of potential uses, such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets or weights among them. Lead tokens are also believed to have been locally produced, further contributing to the difficulty in accurately dating them.

OXON-A598B3: COIN
A very worn Roman copper alloy nummus of an unclear ruler (Reece period unknown), dating to the period AD 330-402. Unclear reverse type and unclear mint. The small size of this coin suggests that it may have been a contemporary copy, but this is uncertain.

NMS-A57C54: VESSEL
Rim fragment of medieval or post-medieval copper-alloy vessel, probably a bowl. Approximately 7.5% of the rim is extant with an estimated radius of 110mm. The rim is slightly thickened and everted. The other two edges are worn breaks. Beyond the eversion, toward the edge opposite the rim, the fragment is virtually straight in profile, tapers uniformly in thickness and is inclined at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees to the horizontal. There are several small circular pits and a few dark circular spots of similar size on the internal surface, unevenly spaced and seeming to run approximately parallel to the rim at the beginning of the eversion. A larger circular pit, roughly in line with these is truncated by one of the breaks. A few much smaller pits and spots are spread around the internal face more randomly. They are not convincingly intentional marks. The metal is patinated very dark green, near-black, on the outside and pale green on the inside.13th to 17th century. Length (measured along rim): 51.7mm. Width (measured radially, or perpendicular to rim): 36.7mm. Thickness (rim): 2.9mm, (opposite rim): 1.5mm. Weight: 17.7g

OXON-A57974: TOKEN
A complete biface, lead-alloy token, slightly warped and of Post Medieval date (AD 1500 to AD 1800). The decorated side has a cross within a raised border with raised indistinctive marks in each quarter, possiblly a religious symbol or merchant's mark. The reverse is worn and only two rasied pellets are visible with a small section of raised crossed lines opposite. The token is light grey. The token has a diameter of 21.98mm, is 1.95mm thick and weighs 5.54 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. The Powell classification system, in which there are over 30 categories, attempts to classify these leaden tokens according to the designs featured on each face, but it does not assign any chronology. This example falls into Powell type 12 (geometric). No other examples could be found on the database.

It is indigenous to South-east Asia, and was certainly introduced to Europe by the time of the Crusades…The European jew’s harp, familiar today, is made of metal, usually iron, and the tongue is a separate component hammered into a rabbet in the thickest part of the frame. At its other end the tongue is bent into a prong, but this rarely survives in archaeological contexts. In play, the instrument is held in one hand and the frame is lightly supported between the player’s teeth, while the metal tongue is plucked with the fingers on the other hand. The mouth cavity acts as a resonator and the pitch is modified by the position of the lips, tongue and cheeks' (Egan 1998, p.284).

SUR-90A466: DRESS HOOK
A cast copper alloy late medieval to early post Medieval dress hook of Read's (2008) Class C Type 1 with composite hollow box construction and a tapering convex plate with cross hatched decoration. The front end has a pointed hook which is missing its tip.

NARC-909C09: BROOCH
A complete copper alloy Annular Buckle of Medieval date (AD 1200-1400). The object is composed of a single loop frame with a recurved tapering pin which is largely retained with the exception of the tip which partially missing and abraded. The recurved loop of the pin moves freely around the frame. The pin is decorated with a rectangular moulded collar below the loop. Diameter: 41.99mm, Thickness (frame): 33.24mm, Length (pin): 46.59mm, Width (pin): 3.59mm, Weight: 14.5g. The metal is dark green in colour with a smooth patina. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London', 1991, pages 51, 57-65. The distinction between plain circular-frame annular buckles and plain annular brooches is not immediately clear. Those with the pin free to move around the entire circumference of the frame are described as buckles, while plain annular and other open frames in which the pins are attached to a constriction at one point can be classified as brooches (Egan & Pritchard, 1991). Hattatt, P 382, Fig 241, No 699-700

These clasps were used to fasten together the two ends of the same strap. The absence of a pin, which passes through holes pierced in the strap for a buckle, distinguishes the clasp from a buckle (Gilmore 2019, 1).

NARC-903E69: FINGER RING
A complete copper alloy Finger Ring of Modern date (AD 1901-1936). The object has been made from a probable commemorative medal, for the death of Queen Victoria or ascension of Edward VII. The object is D shaped in section and circular in plan. The outer face shows not decorative pattern. The inner face of the object retains a partial legend and reads ANNO 1901, with a beaded boarder retained below.

LIN-8C6B15: STRAP FITTING
A fragment of a copper-alloy Strap Fitting of Medieval date (AD 1100-1500). The object is a two-piece swivel, probably part of a dog leash fitting. The object is composed of half of an oval loop frame with an oval cross-section; it flares at the end, terminating in a devolved zoomorphic head and six pronged casement (one prong has broken off). The swivel mechanism is missing. As LIN-26C9BD notes 'swivel mechanisms such as this were employed for a variety of functions during the Medieval period as strap fittings and as such a specific function cannot be attributed to them. The stylised zoomorphic terminals are a typical feature. BH-619211 notes: 'this relatively common form of swivel is well represented on the PAS database, close parallels being YORYM-2298E3 (Saxton With Scarthingwell, North Yorks) and SUR-D16136 (White Waltham, Berks). Despite the Romanesque appearance of the zoomorphic heads, Helen Geake (2001: 72) believes that swivels of this form were probably in use throughout most of the Medieval period.'

DUR-7B2EB6: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead spindle whorl from the Medieval period (AD1200-1500). The whorl is made up of a central bi-conical body with a central aperture (off-centre and lipped on one surface) measuring 11.5mm. It is decorated on both faces with a series of raised lines, which form triangular shapes and pellets. This is very feint due to some wear and corrosion. The patina of the metal is of a dark cream colouring showing grey where there is some damage. Lead spindle whorls were uncommon before the medieval period and the relatively large diameter of the central perforation places this in the mid to later medieval period. Standley (2016, 278-9) suggests this type dates between the 13th and end of the 15th century. Dimensions: Thickness: 10.43mm; Weight: 38.0 g; Diameter: 30.66 mm Standley, E.R., 2016.

WAW-7B167C: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy supporting arm brooch of Early Anglo-Saxon dating (AD 400 to AD 500). The object is broadly an inverted triangle in plan. The upper part of the object is broadly rectangular. The object then tapers and curves into a bow and terminates with a patinated break. At the reverse of the head are vertical lugs placed at either short edge. These were possibly to hold a spring and pin. A groove appears around the headplate, visible due to lighting on the 3D scan.

LIN-77D30B: FINGER RING
A complete cast silver Roman ring with an oval cornelian in the bezel c. 3rd century AD. The loop has prominent angles/keels, above are triangular shoulders. The ring aperture is slightly ovoid, with a ‘D’ shaped profile. The oval cornelian sits within a broadly octagonal bezel (17.8mm x 15mm). The charioteer is driving a biga (a two-horse chariot) to the left, and is more unusual, depicting Cupid rather than the more commonly found Victory variation. The representation of the charioteer is naively chip carved, characterised by the Maaskant-Kleibrink as ‘incoherent Grooves Style’. The ring is Henig Type VIII, which was verified by Dr Martin Henig, in the early 80’s following the rings discovery. Thanks also go to T.M White, who has described the ring in the Lincolnshire History and Archaeology Vol. 17, pp 79-80 1982. Additionally, to Dr Lisa Brundle, for her added research. At the time of discovery, in 1980, the Portable Antiquities Scheme did not exist, and it was prior to the Treasure Act 1996. It was reported to the local museum of Lincoln under the Treasure Trove act and returned to finder. Dimensions – Diameter = 23.3mm, by 23.9mm, max width = 17MM, thickness = 1.7mm. internal diameter - 19mm x 16mm. Additional references Ambrose,T.M., 1982.

PUBLIC-77858E: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Lead alloy Post-Medieval probable weight or token. The object is flat (1.5mm thick) and sub-square (20mm x 22mm) with an image cast in relief decorating one side. The design is not easily recognisable as a letter or digit, nor any easily discernable symbol. A straight line, close and broadly parallel to one edge has two separate approximately one-third-spaced, down-curving crescents, that spring across the front face and meet close to the opposite edge. Perhaps the most likely interpretation is that of a letter D. The mass is 6.95g, which is just short of a quarter of an ounce. A suggested date is circa AD 1650-1850.

LIN-777439: FINGER RING
An incomplete cast copper-alloy finger-ring, probably Roman in date c.AD 43-410. Only c. 50% of the object has survived, missing the lower portion of the lower. The bezel is oval and slightly concave. The triangular shoulders narrow, the loop terminates at truncated prongs. Undecorated. Mid-green patina. Possibly Guidard 2c Length: 26.24 mm; Width (of band): 10.47 mm; Thickness (shoulders): 3.18 mm; Weight: 4.58g

CORN-6A32C2: MOUNT
Arrowhead-shaped copper-alloy mount or stud, likely for adornment for a harness. Its remaining length is 22mm, but the socket is damaged, so it is likely that it was originally longer. It has a 9mm width at its widest point. It has a thickness of 0.7mm. Similar entries can be seen on the PAS database at: NCL-DFE7D2, and DENO-B0E1C1.

CORN-6A07C8: FINGER RING
A complete cast copper-alloy ring, subsequently hammered in places. The band is flattened horizontally, as opposed to being cylindrical, and in some places, it is more flattened than in others. Its internal diameter is relatively large, at 19mm, and its average external diameter is 27mm. The average width of the shank is 4mm on the horizontal plane, and 3mm on the vertical plane. It weighs 4.9g. There is no discernible decoration, but there are a few small visible patches of a dark red-brown, which may be traces of pigment, but generally-speaking, it has a dark grey-green patina. The patination of the metal would suggest a Roman date, which would be expected, given the large amount of late-Roman finds in the near vicinity. Other similar examples: HESH-818A76, and SUR-38F89B.

CORN-69C877: FINGER RING
Fragment of a copper-alloy finger ring, including the cast sunken setting for a gemstone/intaglio/glass, although the gemstone/intaglio/glass is now missing. The fragment is an elongated sub-oval shape, which narrows at both ends, tapering until c.5mm from the edge of the setting. After which, it flares out slightly, and then tapers once more, but this second section of the fragment is decorated with 5 etched horizontal lines. To one end, there is c.10mm of this line-decorated section remaining, and to the other end, 9mm is remaining. It is mainly dark grey-green in patina, although on the internal face of the shank there is a small patch of mid red-brown encrustation, which was likely amassed through taphonomic processes in an iron-rich soil. Its remaining length is 22m, while the width across its bezel (where the setting is) is 9.5mm, and the average width of its shank is 6mm. Its thickness is 1mm, and its weight is 1.6g. The setting is oval in shape, and measures 8mm (length) by 7mm (height). There is no residue remaining within the setting, to suggest what it contained. From estimating its circumference from the remaining fragment, it was likely to have had a relatively small circumference. It is likely Guiraud type 2/Henig Type 3. Suggested date: Late-Roman, c.1st-early 3rd century. Similar examples can be seen in the following entries: CORN-69BE19, NLM-7D9976, OXON-DEBDDE, YORYM-565C07, NLM-E9E44B, WILT-73FB22, WILT-5EEBCB, and OXON-A28C58.

CORN-69BE19: FINGER RING
Fragment of a copper-alloy finger ring, including the cast sunken setting for a gemstone/intaglio/glass, although the gemstone/intaglio/glass is now missing. The fragment is an elongated sub-oval shape, which narrows at both ends, tapering until c.10mm from the edge of the setting in both directions. There is no discernible decoration. It is mid grey-green in patina. Its remaining length is 28mm, while the width across its bezel (where the setting is) is 12mm, and the average width of its shank is 4mm. Its average thickness is 1mm, and its weight is 3.27g. The setting is oval in shape, and measures 9mm (length) by 10mm (height). There is no residue remaining within the setting, to suggest what it contained. From estimating its circumference from the remaining fragment, it was likely to have had quite a large circumference. It is likely Guiraud type 2/Henig Type 3. Suggested date: Late-Roman, c.1st-early 3rd century. Similar examples can be seen in the following entries: CORN-69C877, NLM-7D9976, OXON-DEBDDE, YORYM-565C07, NLM-E9E44B, WILT-73FB22, WILT-5EEBCB, and OXON-A28C58.

PUBLIC-6927DE: COIN

OXON-6925DD: COIN
A very worn Roman copper alloy nummus of an unclear ruler (Reece period unknown), dating to the period AD 330-402. Unclear reverse type and unclear mint. The small size of this coin suggests that it may have been a contemporary copy, but this is uncertain.

YORYM-68CB11: WHETSTONE
An incomplete hone or whetstone of Early-Medieval to Medieval date, c.AD 700-1400. The object is rectangular in plan and section, tapering in thickness from pierced end to a worn transverse break at the other. The wider end or top of the object is pierced with a circular perforation measuring 3.1mm in diameter. This appears to have been drilled from each face. Numerous irregular striations are visible on each face of the object. The stone is a hardstone which is black in colour and has no inclusions. The object is 34.9mm long, 19.9mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 6g. It is likely that this hone would have been suspended around the neck by means of the hole. It is a small hone for personal use and would be hung from the belt by the hole and carried regularly. Similar objects include LVPL-1B5301, SF-469FF2 and WAW-C6C886. See also KENT-CCE2E7 which states: Very similar examples are known from Viking York (AY17/14, e.g. 9329) from 9th to 11th century contexts, but the shape and size continues into the Medieval period, with examples illustrated from Winchester in Biddle (1990,nos 3034, 3035) coming from fourteenth century contexts and some from Salisbury (Drinkwater in Saunders 1991:172, fig 47, no. 19 and 20) dated to the 12th century.

WILT-68958C: FURNITURE FITTING
Twenty-four fragments of copper alloy probable furniture fitting, possibly an escutcheon plate, of unknown date, but possibly Post Medieval to Modern. It is finely made with extremely good chasing, embossing and repousee work. 1) The largest fragment appears to be part the centre of the escutcheon, sub circular (segments missing, ragged edge), early breaks on all edges, with a small punched hole through what might have been the centre or keyhole. 70.0mm x 56.8mm; 0.3mm thick; 2) The rim is simply turned over and inwards, with a flattened outer face under which is a beaded border of embossed (incuse) pits. There are six fragments which include this beaded border, five of them also include the turned-over rim itself. The largest is 48.3mm in length (along the slightly curved rim); 30.3mm in height; 3.65g in weight. 3) Below the beaded and plain facets which take the shape of the find out and downwards are two bands of a) repoussee (in relief) work showing leaf and tendril and b) a wider band of niches with flanking grooves, embossed (incuse). The niches contain floriate shapes. Thirteen small fragments show one or both of these forms of decoration. 4) Three small fragments show a further band of a version of the Classical egg and dart decoration. It is uncertain where on the body of the escutcheon this band appeared. Total weight 33.28g. All the fragments appear to have been treated, possibly with Renaissance wax.

BH-685A51: BROOCH
A near complete cast copper-alloy Colchester derivative, double pierced lug, Harlow type brooch dating to the Roman period (c. AD 50-80). The brooch comprises the wings, spring, pin, central lug, bow (upper and lower), foot and catch plate. Only part of the pin is missing. The wings are semi-cylindrical, open-ended and divided by a central lug with an upper and lower circular perforation. The front surfaces are plainly finished, as is the lug. The interior is occupied by a nine-coil spring made of circular-section copper-alloy wire, with five coil on the pin side. The pin itself is circular-sectioned and tapers to an old worn break. The ends of the coil are connected by an external chord that passes through the upper perforation of the lug. A separate circular-sectioned copper-alloy wore axis bar extends through the spring and the lower lug perforation. The sub-triangular-sectioned bow arches from the upper edge of the wings and tapers and thins to sub-D-shape at the flat foot. At the crest is a shallow notch, and below a short vertical ridge surmounting a wider rectangular ridge that extends to the foot, forming a step either side. The ridge is very worn but appears to have the remains of a cross-hatched pattern. Projecting from the reverse of the lower bow and foot is a solid flat triangular catch plate. The outer edge curves inward and is recessed as pin housing. The catch plate is otherwise plainly finished. The brooch has light green patination. The brooch measures 38.3mm long. The wings are 19.1mm in width, 4.8mm in height and 6.2mm thick with the spring. The upper bow is 7.2mm wide and 4.5mm thick. The foot is 4.9mm wide and 2.1mm thick. The catch plate is 20.1mm long and a maximum of 1.6mm thick. The entire brooch weighs 6.9 grams. For a similar brooch, see Mackreth 2011, vol. II, p. 34, pl. 31, nos. 1041 and 1062.

NMS-6858CD: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
Description: Incomplete silver mount or dress fastener. One half (the lower half) is flat and undecorated with a curving lower edge. The other half has decoration of two high-relief C-shaped scrolls with their backs towards the flat half and their points upwards The point of one scroll has been lost, but the surviving scroll is open at the top, and appears to be in the shape of a flat ribbon which is wound up at either end, and the inner end bound to the inner end of the other scroll. Between the two scrolls, and partly within both halves, is a sub-oval or drop-shaped central perforation with the point upwards. Curving ridges on the flat reverse show that the object was cast in a mould made from cuttlefish bone. The reverse originally had two integral circular-section rivets, one to either side of the central hole. The surviving rivet is at the base of the complete surviving scroll, but the other rivet has been torn away, causing a bend to the metal. Dimensions: Surviving width c. 19mm, length 15mm. Thickness of flat half c. 1.2mm, thickness of high-relief half away from rivet 3.5mm, thickness including rivet 5mm. The central hole measures 5.3 x 4.0mm and the object weighs 2.59g. Discussion: This object fits well into a group of small mounts which are thought to be dress fasteners of eyelet type, although no corresponding hook has ever been identified. Most are a little larger than this one, although all are small; most have the same cuttlefish marks on the reverse. All have holes and integral rivets, and most have two distinct halves with different decoration and often different thicknesses. Most appear to be individually designed, with NMS-E02E1C and WMID-7B3FCA having some similar elements to this one. Other good examples include NMGW-E31CD0, SWYOR-191BF9, LANCUM-8C13DC and SUR-70A2EF. Egan and Pritchard discuss what may be analogous flimsy copper-alloy items found in late 14th-century contexts (1991, nos. 1199-1201), comparing them to a rather closer (but still copper-alloy) parallel found in the River Thames (fig. 141). One of Egan and Pritchard’s examples was found in place on an unperforated strap. Date: Despite the parallel from a late 14th-century context, these items tend to fit better into 16th-century fashions and despite their small numbers they may have been used over a long period of time, c. 1350-c. 1550 at least.

LEIC-684D53: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy small-long brooch dating to the early medieval period (c. AD 450-600). The brooch has a cruciform head with three semi-circular projections, around a central square plate. The semi-circular arched bow projects from below the plate. The foot is broken c.10 mm below the bow, and the terminal is now lost. At the back of the central plate there is a rounded lug, now iron-corroded, which would have held the pin. At the back of the foot is a projecting rectangular tab, which would have formed a catchplate. The head is decorated with stamped circles of two sizes. The curved outer edges of the side wings and the left and right edges of the central panel each have a border of five larger circles, while the outer edge of the topmost wing has six of the larger circular decorations. The outer edge of the rest of the head is lined with small, circular pinpoint stamps. The junction between the headplate and lower bow is stepped with transverse linear mouldings; a series of four similar mouldings are also present below the arched leg of the brooch at the upper portion of the footplate. The arches leg of the brooch has three central incised lines running along its length. The areas to each side of the lines are worn but have remnants of a line of small stamped circles running parallel to, and on either side of, the central lines. The remaing portion of the footplate also appears to contain stamped circle decorations in the centre below the transverse mouldings. The metal had a smooth, mid-dark green patina with some small patches of light green corrosion on the obverse central square plate and upper projection. Length: 54.8 mm Height: 17.9 mm Width: 38 mm Weight: 16.6 g; A similar example recorded on the PAS database is NMS-F5EF23.

CORN-671C93: WHISTLE
A slender, tubular cast copper-alloy fragment, possibly from a whistle. It was cast in two halves, as the joining line can be easily seen, and its interior is hollow. There are traces of red pigment on the exterior surfaces, so it is probable that it had been painted. It therefore has patches of dark brown-red, where the paint has survived, and patches of a dark grey-green patina, common to copper-alloy objects. It was possibly used as a hawking whistle. Its remaining length is 32mm, with a diameter of 4mm, and a weight of 2.97g. At one end, it has been pressed and closed, into a trapezoidal shape, with a raised high-relief dot in its centre; on both sides of the trapezoidal face. Just below the trapezoidal face is a moulded collar, which is one of four to run around the circumference of the tube. The circumference of the tube nearer the pressed end is larger than at the opposite end, thus so is the diameter of the first two moulded collars, compared to the other two, at c.8mm. The diameter of the tube where the later two moulded collars are, and where the tube appears to have continued before being damaged, is c.4mm. The distances between the first three moulded collars, working from the trapezoidal face towards the broken end of the tube, is 10mm, while between the third and fourth moulded collar, the distance is 4mm. Aside from the dots, and the ridges, there is no other discernible decoration. For other similar objects, see also entries for: DYFED-639E1C, DYFED-640589, SWYOR-3CBD26.

OXON-671C74: CUFF LINK
A single later Post-Medieval silver stud cuff link, dating to the later 18th century (c. AD 1720-1800). The octagonal button has down turned edges and is decorated with an incised Tudor rose comprised of two quatrefoil flowers which overlay each other and are offset. The centre of the flower is a small circle. The margin of the button has a border of incised curved lines creating cusps to each of the eight flat edges. The reverse has a round sectioned bar which connects to a circular plate, roughly similar in diameter to the button and which has a simple incised line border on the back. There may be a design at the centre of the plate, but this is difficult to make out and it is equally likely that the visible markings here constitute wear. The silver is mostly fairly tarnished and dull in colour. The diameter of the button is 14.25mm, that of the plate 14.45mm. The thickness is 7.27mm. The cuff link weighs 2.37 grams. A number of parallels are recorded on the PAS database: SUR-927F9E (on which record it is noted that cufflinks of this style have been associated with British naval officers' dress uniforms c. 1757-1774, but no reference is given for this), BM-E1929B, OXON-CE5F96, OXON-3496C9 and SF-3DEEF2. The vast majority of similar cufflinks on the PAS database, however, consist of the octagonal button with an integral cast loop on the reverse, as in HAMP-A7032E and SOM-5F323E. These would have been connected by an oval link as in SF-4952A9 and LIN-D937F4. Read (1995: 82) also illustrates a similarly formed stud which he places in a group dating to the 18th century supporting these assertions.

LVPL-6715EC: BUCKLE
A fragment of a copper alloy buckle dating to the post medieval period (c.AD 1660-1720) The fragment is of one of the curved ends and presents a socket for the attachment of the separate spindle.

SWYOR-66DF19: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead spindle whorl of the Medieval to Post medieval period, about AD 1450 - 1550. It is biconvex with a thick median band, and is of Walton Rogers form C2. Each side is decorated with raised dots and geometric figures. The diameter is 26.7mm, the width is 10.8mm and the weight is 29.69g. The central hole is 8.9mm diameter. Though C2 whorls are known from the Iron Age onwards, Walton Rogers cites Ivens et al (1995) that whorls decorated with dots are Post Medieval. Decorated bi-conical whorls found in stratified contexts in Leicester and Derbyshire have been dated to the late Medieval period, about 1450-1540 (Austin Friars; Clay. P., in Mellor and Pearce 1981, Fig. 51, No. 71, pp. 139-141 and Condor Castle; Time Team excavation: Wessex Archaeology 2008, p. 18).

YORYM-662228: PILGRIM BADGE
An incomplete lead-alloy probable pilgrim badge of medieval date, c.AD 1350-1500. The object is ovate with a sub-D-shaped section and worn breaks to all edges. The upper surface is decorated with a horizontal band of pellets to one end and a central vertical band of pellets extending from it. The vertical band is flanked by further pellets. This likely represents part of the mitre. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal has a light white/brown patina and is worn. The object is 16.2mm long, 12.4mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 1.2g. See LIN-65766B for a more complete example of a St Thomas Beckett pilgrim badge. This record states that such badges are associated with the cult of the 'head reliquary of Thomas Beckett', a life-sized mitred bust held by Canterbury Cathedral that held the crown of his skull (the head having been hacked off during his murder in 1170). Badges depicting this reliquary are widely known from London (Spencer 1998; 71 figs 20-27) sometimes depicting the bust alone, other times incorporating framework or ornate bordering. Offerings made at Canterbury Cathedral show that the popularity of the head reliquary peaked in 1420. Most pilgrim badges in the form of the head reliquary come from London and Canterbury. Badges such as these were often worn on clothing or kept as amulets intended to keep the bearer from harm, most examples dating from the 14th-15th centuries. The supposed miracle-working powers of reliquaries was also thought to transfer onto the objects copied from them, hence the popularity of pilgrim badges.

WILT-65A4BE: TRIPOD VESSEL
An incomplete Roman copper alloy zoomorphic tripod leg, dating to c. AD 43 - 410. The leg is in the form of a lion's leg with a leonine head feature. The top of the leg has a semi-circular vertical fitting, with a narrow band below. The other half of this vertical fitting is now missing, due to an old break. There is evidence of iron corrosion on either side of the band on the back of the vertical fitting. Below the band is a circular disc. This fitting is to enable attachment to a vesel, presumably made of iron. Part way down the leg is an integrated, protruding leonine head, possibly that of a lioness, which is open-mouthed, baring its teeth. One one set of canine teeth is intact, the other is missing. The ears, eyes and nose of the head are evident, but worn. Beneath the head, the leg bows outwards and then returns inwards in a C-shaped curve, widening slightly in the middle possibly to represent the animal's chest. The base of the leg may have originally have had a clawed foot, but the tip is flat, so this may be the original base of the leg. The find has a green patina. Length: 46.7 mm; width: 10.5 mm; thickness: 11.7 mm; weight: 9.64 g. The find is part of a tripod support. See LEIC-7D8B32 on the PAS database for an almost identical find, with complete fitting attachment.

SWYOR-657376: SHOT
A piece of lead shot dating from about AD 1600 - 1800. The size and mass suggest it was probably for use as a pistol or buckshot. The shot is sub-spherical with slight traces of a casting sprue. It has a light brown patina. The diameter is 10.1mm and the weight is 5.79g.

YORYM-6547FB: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, c. AD 1500 - 1650. The buckle is one half of a double looped oval with a recessed bar. One half of the frame is lost to worn breaks. A moulded acorn knop is present on the outer edge of the remaining loop. Moulded projections are also present to either end of the bar. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal has a dark brown/green patina and is worn. The buckle is 36.3mm long, 38.4mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 7g. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, p.65, no.405 and is dated to circa AD 1500 - 1650. Ref: Whitehead, R. (2016). Buckles 1250-1800. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing.

LVPL-653E56: WEIGHT
A complete lead / lead alloy spindle whorl or weight probably dating to the medieval to post medieval period (c.AD 1200-1700). The object has one flat face, with a rounded, domed top going up to the large central perforation measuring 9.0mm in diameter. No decoration is present and the surface has a rough dark cream patina. Dimensions: Diameter 24.5mm; thickness 10.6mm; weight 36.93g Lead-alloy spindle whorls or weights can be difficult to date as they are not commonly discovered in dateable contexts. Of the decorated spindle whorls that have been found on dateable sites, it is clear they were used from Roman times to the post medieval period. The majority of these objects come from medieval dated sites which is why most spindle whorls such as this one are recorded as dating to the medieval period.

ESS-653B36: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete iron unidentified object of unknown date Description: The object remains as a gentle 'S' shaped piece of iron with a circular cross section. One end is flattened into a broadly oval shape. Measurements: length: 100.3mm; width (widest end): 15.3mm; thickness (narrowest point): 8.9mm; weight: 37.04g Discussion: Other iron S-shaped objects recorded on the database include chain links such as BM-AADD88 and latchlifters including LVPL1513

YORYM-65268E: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of medieval date, c.AD 1300 - 1500. The buckle is a single loop sub-rectangle with a slightly convex front and three lobed knops on the outside edge. Lobed knops are also present to either end of the bar. A worn break is present at the centre of the bar and the pin no longer remains. A sub-rectangular plate is looped around the bar by two narrowed integral strips with central slot for the pin. The front plate has a forked bifid terminal with worn moulded decoration to the upper surface. The decoration is too worn to be determined. To the reverse, the plate forms a simple rectangular loop. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 35.6mm long, 29.6mm wide, 7.8mm thick and weighs 11.4g. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, p.27 and are dated to circa AD 1660 - 1720. Ref: Whitehead, R. (2016). Buckles 1250-1800. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing

BH-651ADA: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy white metal coated British plate brooch dating c. AD 200-350. The plate is flat oval in shape with a circular field at the centre defined by a flat-topped ridge. Beyond this are two concentric fields defined by a narrower ridge. The edge of the plate has a raised flat-topped border. The reverse of the plate is flat and undecorated. Projecting on one edge are two narrow semi-circular plates with circular perforations forming the pin hinge housing. On the opposite edge is a compressed catch plate. The patina across the object is light green in colour. There is a white metal coating on both the inner raised ridges. The brooch measures 25.9mm diameter and 3.8mm thickness. It weighs 4.4 grams.

SWYOR-6515E1: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead possible spindle whorl which probably dates from the Iron Age date, about 800 BC - AD 50. If it is a spindle whorl, it is of Walton Rogers Form C1 which has no flat faces and curved sides. The central perforation is 8.4mm which is at the larger end of the range suggested by Walton Rogers for Iron Age spindle whorls (4-8mm). The height of the object is 18.9mm, the diameter 22.6mm, and the weight is 48.4g. It has a white patina. There is some damage to one end. While it is possible that it is an Iron Age spindle whorl, the object could also be a weight. The mass of 48.4g is close to 1/8lb in the English Troy system (46.6g) used from the AD 1350s.

LVPL-650135: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead / lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval period (c.AD 1200-1500). The object has flat parallel faces with rounded edges and a large central perforation measuring 7.2mm in diameter. Any surface decoration has been badly worn or corroded. Dimensions: Diameter 24.0mm; thickness 6.3mm; weight 21.81g Decorated lead-alloy spindle whorls or weights can be difficult to date as they are not commonly discovered in dateable contexts. Of the decorated spindle whorls that have been found on dateable sites, it is clear they were used from Roman times to the post medieval period. The majority of these objects come from medieval dated sites which is why most spindle whorls such as this one are recorded as dating to the medieval period.

YORYM-64E358: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date, c.AD 1100 - 1450. The pendant is circular with an integral suspension loop projecting from one edge. The loop is at 90 degrees to the plane of the main plate. The front surface of the pendant has a raised border and central circular perforation. A raised cross pattee motif extends around the perforation. Each corner of the cross extends into an integral knop. A third knop is also present extending from the centre of each outer arm of the cross. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The harness pendant is 39.6mm long, 29.4mm in diameter, 2mm thick and weighs 7.9g. Harness pendants are discussed by Griffiths (1995, p.62) which identifies that circular and openwork copper-alloy harness pendants are in use from the 12th century onward. They become more common in the 13th century and incorporate a wider range of styles and designs including heraldry and enamelling. Use of pendants is in decline by the late 14th century and general fashions change to use decorative leather or fabric trappings in the 15th century. Ref: Griffiths (2005) 'Harness pendants and associated fittings' in Clark, J. (ed.) The Medieval Horse and its Equipment c.1150-c.1450, London: HMSO.

CORN-64D87E: FINGER RING
A small plain cast copper-alloy finger ring. It is a simple band, with a width of 28mm, and the object has no discernible decoration. There are three small chips, all concentrated to the same area on the outer face of the band, but it is otherwise intact. It was likely cast, as there is no visible joining line. It weighs 1.24g, and has a relatively good state of preservation. The diameter is quite small (15mm), so it was likely belonging to a child. It has a dark grey-green patina, and it has a good state of preservation. It is slightly sub-circular in shape, which suggests that it may have been hammered, in order to make the sizing smaller. A similar object, entry SUR-4D6D07, states: "Simple rings like this are difficult to asign to a period, however the ring appears to be cast in one piece rather than made from a strip with a soldered butt join, which may suggest an earlier rather than later date". For other similar examples, see also entries: SF9393, FAKL-817244, and SF-43332C.

LVPL-64CAAE: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead / lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval period (c.AD 1200-1500). The object is biconical in shape with rounded edges and a large central perforation measuring 9.0mm in diameter. Both faces are decorated, but have been badly worn. The object had been damaged and deformed mechancially. Dimensions: Diameter 22.0mm; thickness 9.4mm; weight 17.46g Decorated lead-alloy spindle whorls or weights can be difficult to date as they are not commonly discovered in dateable contexts. Of the decorated spindle whorls that have been found on dateable sites, it is clear they were used from Roman times to the post medieval period. The majority of these objects come from medieval dated sites which is why most spindle whorls such as this one are recorded as dating to the medieval period.

DUR-64B471: COIN
A fragment of a Iron Age coin of the North Eastern region / Corieltavi, c. 60 BC - 20 BC. Unclear type, possibly Rudd ABC no. 1734 (p. 92). 0.7g. 12.3mm by 7.6mm. It is 2.1mm thick. Obverse: wreath, cloak and crescents. Reverse: stylised horse. Approximately 1/8 of the coin survives.

DUR-64AC02: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch, probably of the postmedieval or modern period, probably 1850 - 1950 AD. The brooch is formed of two sheet-metal pressed circular plates, one forming a back plate and the other the face. The centre is hollow and contains soil. It is 31.9mm in diameter, 3.6mm thick and weighs 6.0g. The surfaces are rough and brown in colour, with areas of green copper corrosion products. Breaks are old and patinated. The face of the brooch is generally circular with a concave central area surrounded by a raised border about 3.9mm wide. The raised border is formed into 16 rounded radial lobes. The concave central area has an incomplete surface layer of geen and brown copper corrosion. This may have been a decorative surface at one time but any decorative details which may have been present are now lost. The reverse is generally flat, circular with a scalloped edge, the scallops aligning with the lobes of the face. A pair of copper mounds near a part of the edge is very likely to be the remains of an attachment loop or hinge for a pin. A similar pair of mounds is present near the opposite part of the edge. No pin or complete loop is present. A deep circular depression, 3.1mm in diameter, is present 7mm from the edge near one of the pairs of attachment loops. This may have been where the face and back plate were pressed together. The identification of this object as a brooch is made on the basis of the remains of the attachment points being from a pin attachment and catchplate. The decorative border and empty central area on the face of the brooch suggest the possibility that this is a mount for a coin or other object so that it could be worn as a brooch.

LVPL-64A091: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead / lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval period (c.AD 1200-1500). The object is biconical in shape with rounded edges and a large central perforation measuring 9.7mm in diameter. Both faces are decorated with five raised circular motifs, each with a pellet in the centre. The surface has an off-white / beige patina. Dimensions: Diameter 21.0mm; thickness 9.4mm; weight 17.38g Decorated lead-alloy spindle whorls or weights can be difficult to date as they are not commonly discovered in dateable contexts. Of the decorated spindle whorls that have been found on dateable sites, it is clear they were used from Roman times to the post medieval period. The majority of these objects come from medieval dated sites which is why most spindle whorls such as this one are recorded as dating to the medieval period.

CORN-648AD3: BROOCH
Part of an incomplete cast copper-alloy brooch, with geometric decoration, and possibly zoomorphic, c.1st-2nd century AD. It may alternatively have composed part of a decorative attachment of a saddle/bridle. Although it is not complete, it can be likely estimated to have an elongated sub-rectangular shape. The body of the brooch is diamond-shaped with a high-relief border, with two arms extending from it. One arm is now missing, but the other is relatively intact. At the end of the surviving arm, there is a small raised dot, and in the centre of the diamond, there is another raised dot, although larger in diameter, and further protruding than that of the one on the arm. The wider end of the fragment is intact, but the more elongated end of the fragment is missing; just above where the surviving arm is. At the wider end of the body, there is an elongated trapezoidal, which on the reverse there is one central, vertical lug. The outer face has been decorated with a high-relief "ruffled" effect, which perhaps was intended to look like bird's feathers. The surface of the brooch has a dark grey-green patina, with patches of mid grey-green colouring. The average thickness is 2mm, and this thickness is generally homogenous across the item. Its remaining length is 24mm, and its remaining width is 22mm, although due to obvious breaks, these measurements would have been longer if the object was complete. It weighs 5.91g, and its decoration can be generalised as geometric and/or zoomorphic. Except for the obvious breaks, it has a relatively good state of preservation. Similar to other brooches on the database, this object is comparable to other 1st-2nd century AD brooches, such as CAM-1A116A, whose entry states that: "A close parellel is known from Hacheston, Suffolk (Plouviez et al., 2004, EAA Report 106, p.105)." Also see Hattatt, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, fig.212, p.353, nos. 1114, 562, 559, and 1115.

OXON-642F89: TOKEN
A Medieval to Post Medieval cast, lead alloy medium sized, biface token of Powell types 7 and 12. The token is circular in plan, and sub-rectangular in cross section. One side bears an irregular grid of lines at right angles. This classes as a Powell type 7 design (Hatching, or grid). The opposite side's decoration consists of a cross (one arm single, the other double) which divides the side into four quarters; the centre of the cross sits significantly off-centre. This classes as a Powell type 12 design (Quartered geometric). The token is a medium grey colour, although much of the type 7 side is obscured by patches of powdery light grey corrosion. The token is 19.31mm in diameter, 3.97mm thick and weighs 3.82 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. However, for lead alloy tokens of this type that bear a date, this is generally between the early 17th century and the early 19th century (PAS recording guide).

NMS-63DFCD: COIN
Copper alloy sestertius, heavily corroded & utterly illegible, c.AD64-260

CORN-63D8CB: BUCKLE
Likely part of a late-Medieval (c.1200-1400 AD) buckle, possibly shaped to look like a snake. It is probable that it composed either the prong, or an integral plate. Both faces of the object have a dark grey-green patina, and the object shows little sign of wear. It is small, thin and sub-rectangular in shape, and made from copper-alloy, with a thickness of c.0.85mm, and a weight of 2.36g. As it is bent, its estimated complete length is 41mm. Its average width is 6mm, although in a few places, it is slightly wider than this, with its maximum width of 7mm. It may possibly be zoomorphic, as there are slight indents to one end, which give the appearance of a head. The "head" end of the piece is sub-diamond shaped, with three horizontal, and four vertical dots impressed into it as decoration. The "body" of the piece is undecorated. The "tail" end of the piece features etched decoration, in the form of one simple vertical line. Similar examples can be seen on the database, see entries for: NARC-15B0F2, which states that: "there is an example illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 115; ref. 547) with similar grip and cutaway tip". See also PAS entries SUR-CC63F2, and DOR-58B56E.

BH-63CCEA: PIN
A near complete cast copper-alloy hair or dress pin, of Flixborough Type 112, dating to the Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period (c. AD 700-800). The pin has a globular head with a collar at the base, with a tapering circular-sectioned shaft, the tip of which is broken. There is no further decoration. The surfaces have dark brown patination. The pin measures 45.2mm long, 7.2mm head diameter and weighs 2.4 grams. See Evans and Loveluck p. 48, fig. 1.23, no. 266 for a parallel.

OXON-63BE08: TOKEN
A Medieval to Post Medieval cast, lead alloy medium sized, biface token of Powell types 2 and 1/3 hybrid. The token is circular in plan, and sub-rectangular in cross section. One side bears the raised letters M (or W or III) and B. This classes as a Powell type 2 design (Initials). The opposite side's decoration consists of a four petalled flower made of a series of pointed ovals whose tips meet at the centre of the token. The petals' outer tips, however, are just off the flan. This classes as a Powell type 1 design (Symbolic petalled flower). However, this moulded flower design appears to be superimposed with a pattern of incised radial lines dividing this side into 8 roughly equal sized sectors. This classes as a Powell type 3 design (Segments), so this side has been recorded as a hybrid of the two types. The token is a medium grey colour with patches of powdery light grey corrosion. The token is 19.18mm in diameter, 2.65mm thick and weighs 3.83 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. However, for lead alloy tokens of this type that bear a date, this is generally between the early 17th century and the early 19th century (PAS recording guide).

NCL-57FC88: THIMBLE
Complete lead palm guard of Roman-Post-Medieval date, c. AD 43-1900. The artefact has a sub-oval plan and plano-convex cross-section. The flat face is irregularly dented, but has three clear linear dents made after its initial casting, consistent with having been gouged by a large needle or small blade. A wider rectangular groove with crisp edges might suggest having been gouged by a different implement. The convex face also displays a greater variety of scratches and grooves, possibly resulting from contemporary use or post-depositional factors. Palm guards were used to protect the palm when using heavy tools while leather working or net making. Because they were generally hand made to fit individual palms for specific purposes, they are very difficult to date.

NCL-57C423: TOY
Complete lead Post-Medieval whirligig or skirt weight of post-medieval date, c. 1700-1900 AD. The artefact is a roughly flat disc with an irregularly scalloped edge. Both faces are undecorated except for two off-centre perforations. Both faces are scratched and dented, possibly as a result of use or post-depositional wear. Lead whiligigs were popular post-medieval toys in which a string or cord was thread through the perforations from which the object could be twizzled to create a whizzing noise. These artefacts are very similar to lead hem weights in skirts or curtains which were sewn into the hems to assist draping or prevent unwanted movement from wind and gusts. The irregularity of this artefact suggests it was homemade. Dimensions - diameter: 32.94mm; thickness: 4.91mm; weight: 34.82g.

NCL-572439: SPINDLE WHORL
Complete biconical lead spindle whorl of probable Late Medieval/Post-Medieval date, c. AD 1200-1550. The artefact is broadly circular in plan with a central sub-circular aperture. Each face is worn, but there are traces of an irregular design comprised of raised pellets. Each face has a powdery white patina, and there is deep linear dent on one face which was probably caused post-depositionally. It conform to Walton Rogers (2007) form C2. Although dating of these is broad, biconical spindle whorls are typically assigned a medieval or early post-medieval date (Standley 2016). Dimensions - diameter: 28.33mm; thickness: 9.56mm; diameter of aperture: 9.46mm; weight: 35.17g

NCL-56FD42: SPINDLE WHORL

Each face has a similar design comprising six irregularly sized compartments demarcated with raised radial ridges containing two, three of zero pellets. The artefact is in good condition with minimal surface wear. It conform to Walton Rogers (2007) form C2. Although dating of these is broad, biconical spindle whorls are typically assigned a medieval or early post-medieval date (Standley 2016). Dimensions - diameter: 25.44mm; thickness: 10.88mm; diameter of aperture: 8.88mm; weight: 31.11g.

OXON-3A35FA: TOKEN
Post Medieval (c. 1500 to 1850) lead token: The design, consists the letter 'A' Powell Type 2. The reverse is undecorated. The surface is a mid grey colour. The token measure measures 15.96mm in diameter and weighs 3.88g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850AD), those which seem to mimic Medieval penny designs are deemed to be possibly Medieval, the remainder which carry stylised designs remain difficult to date but the majority are probably Post Medieval in date c.1500-1800. Powell (2005) comments that Type 2 is a design which was commonly made stock and occur in large quantities, dating to the late 16th to mid 19th centuries.

There is no obvious extant decoration on the wings and the tip of the left wing is damaged. There is a deep slot in the brooch where the hinged pin would have been housed. The head is angular with a flat front and on both sides there is arched moulding present at the junction between the head and the wings, though it is more pronounced on the right-hand side. There appears to be a sub-oval cell (4.56mm long, 3.23mm wide) with enamel on the exterior surface of the head. The bow emerges from the back of the head and has a D-shaped cross section, starting at 7.82mm wide and 5.07mm thick, tapering to 6.37mm wide and 4.21mm thick just before the break. The object has a largely dark green patina. Dimensions. Length: 20.61mm. Width: 28.61mm. Height: 13.32mm. Weight: 8.07g.

OXON-29E0DB: SEAL
Modern (c. 1850-1950) lead seed bag seal: The seal is circular with a sub-rectangular section and is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by two holes running across its diameter. The hole would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag. The obverse is stamped with crowned oval trademark design with the text REGISTERED TRADEMARK stamped around the central devise. The reverse is stamped with circumferential text reading WEBB & SONS/SALTNEY CHESTER within which is text in two lines reading MANURE//MANFRS. The metal is a dark grey and cream colour mottled. The seal is 21.85mm in diameter, 5.78mm thick and weighs 12.33g. Webb & Sons were English seed merchants from circa 1850 when Edward Webb founded the company in Wordsley, near Stourbridge. By the 1890's the company had become widely known and had been appointed seedsmen to Queen Victoria. The crown on this bag seal indicates it dates to the period after the company had been appointed by the Queen. The company took over Proctor and Ryland in 1894 (taken from record YORYM-96F4C5).

OXON-29D7F4: SEAL
Modern (1858-2023) lead seed bag seal: Cast disc with a pair of holes in opposite edges, to function as a drawstring bag closure. One side bears a stamped trade mark comprising crowned cabled rim and plain inner circle with a billeted bar across it with vegetal garniture, and the miniscule legend: GOOD SEEDS / CARRIAGE FREE / REGISTERED, with the larger legend: TRADE MARK REGISTERED outside it. The opposite side is stamped centrally: SUTTON /AND/SONS, with an outer legend: SEEDSMEN BY APPOINTMENT [ ]. The seal maeasures 22.18mm long, 18.79mm wide, 5.09mm thick and weighs 12.44g Sutton and Sons was founded in 1806, the firm was warranted by Queen Victoria in 1858 and has remained patronised by royalty ever since.

OXON-297340: DRESS HOOK
Post Medieval (mid 16th to 17th centuries) dress hook: The body of the dress hook is sub-circular in plan with moulded rose decoration. The reverse of the body is slightly concave and undecorated. The upper edge of the body has an integral rectangular loop. The loop allows the dress hook to be stitched to the garment. Integral to the lower edge of the body is the hook which is curled towards the reverse of the hook. The surface of the dress hook has abraded mid green coloured surface. The dress hook measures 26.05mm long and 12.79mm wide across the body. It weighs 1.44g. Read (2008) classifies this type as Class E, Type 3, for example No. 345, which he dated to the to the first half of the 16th century, and Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar dated dress hooks, Nos. 71 to 75, and dates these types of objects to the late 16th to 17th centuries.

HAMP-290C26: PIPE TAMPER
A complete copper alloy Post Medieval pipe tamper dating to c.1600-1800 AD. The object is anthropomorphic in the shape and depicts a male figure. The figure has a rounded face and moulded nose and eyes. Expanding outwards from his chin is a long triangular beard. He appears to be wearing a hat or cloak of some kind and on his arms and back are moulded lines possibly indicating clothing. He appears to be naked from the waist down. The buttocks are well defined but his genitalia appear to be separate from his waist and instead presented down by his feet towards the base of the tamper. The genital area has a pronounced erect phallus, with two testicles underneath. The legs are positioned together. The feet merge into a circular platform, beneath which the object comes to a point. This figure is likely from the later Post-medieval period and could possibly be a crude representation of an unpopular figure in local society.

PUBLIC-28EF29: SLEEVE CLASP
Incomplete catch-piece from a cast copper-alloy sleeve clasp of Hines form B12, dating to the Early Medieval period, c. 450-600 AD. It is broken across the middle catch slot and represents about half of the complete object. The bar is laterally extended by the broken slot into a trapezoidal shape, continuing via three groups of transversely grooved, waisted rectangles to a square terminal end with a T-shaped sewing projection. Extant length 26mm, width 14.5mm, weight 2.88g

OXON-287975: CLOTH SEAL
Medieval to Post Medieval (14th to 18th century) lead alloy cloth seal: This is a two-part cloth seal comprising two circular discs. Disc one is undecorated with the exception of two short linear ridges near one edge. These may have been part of a larger design which is not visible now. Disc two has a hole in the centre through which a stud protrudes and has since been flattened. This disc has an inscription in three lines reading '[ ] OA / [ ]MILLA / L[ ]XI[ ] The surface of the seal has a cream coloured. It measures 32.5mm long, 25.52mm wide, 6.13mm thick and weighs 15.31g. Cloth seals were in use between the 14th and 18th centuries (Egan, 1989) as a form of quality control. Without further detail it is difficult to narrow the date of this seal further. Egan, G. 1994.

WMID-278F58: BROOCH
A fragment from a copper-alloy Aesica fantail brooch (AES 3.c) of Roman date, dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch fragment consists of only the fantail foot and catchplate. The fragment has a rectangular cross-section and has two winged projections at the top corners of the foot, with a small vertical ridge in between. The foot narrows slightly below the projections and is decorated with a triple ridged collar. The foot then expands into a fantail shape and is decorated with an incised ring and dot in each corner. The bottom edge of the foot has a slightly raised ridge. At the reverse the catchplate is solid and intact and has the curved edge to hold the missing pin. No decoration is on the reverse. The brooch is a light green / brown colour and has a mottled surface patina. Measurements: length 26.7 mm, width 12.7mm, thickness inc catchplate 9mm, weight 4.5 grams The fragment is very similar to the Aesica brooches in Mackreth (2011, p.47). More specifically, type AES 3.c (Plate 29, fig 6107) and describes them as follows; "There is no complex casing, and repeats of the same design occur. First is a simplified form with generally two dot-and circle motifs on the plain fantail foot. The next one has thin sections with an exaggerated fantail with projections on the top corners." They are dated to the 1st century AD. Similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, such as: BUC-7392C7, LEIC-C9E262, IN-5181C2 and WAW-84E897.

BH-276EF2: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper-alloy, probably Early Medieval, strap end, of either Thomas' Class A, Type 1 or Type 2, dating AD 750-950. The strap end is elongated triangular with a squared split plate terminal with two circular perforations, one of which is broken across the holes, and flat sides. The edges taper to a worn rounded terminal, which is thicker than the rest of the body above. On one face are the faint remains of what may be elements of Trewhiddle style decoration. The opposite face is decorated with cast cross-hatchings. On this face the rounded terminal also has some additional moulded features that may depict a zoomorphic head of some kind, some of which extend onto the sides. The surfaces of the strap end have a light green and mid-brown mottled patination. The strap-end measures 48.7mm in length, 7.5mm width and 3.7mm thick. It weighs 6.5 grams. The slightly unusual shape and double-faced decoration, including the cross-hatchings, could indicate the piece is, in fact, of a later date.

OXON-27649F: THIMBLE
Medieval (1330 to 1400) thimble: A copper alloy thimble which is composed of a single shell. The exterior has a rim decorated with a single linear groove between the indentations and rim edge. The indentations are close, small, conical indentations which may have been drilled in columns. On the sides they are in columns, the apex is plain with a larger drilled circular perforation. The sides of the thimble taper slightly to the domed top. One side of the thimble has been cracked and is slightly squashed. The surface of the thimble has a shiny mid to dark green patina. The thimble is 15.78mm long and 23.08mm wide at the base. It weighs 5.20g. The thimble is probably Medieval, AD 1330 - 1400, due to it being short, the decoration stopping at the tonsure and the pierced hole in the centre of the tonsure (Egan 1998, 265-266: Holmes 1988). The thimble is relatively light in weight and this indicates that it was used for light duty sewing (Egan 1998, 265). Similar to SUR-2C3725, SOM-368592 and SOM-08C486.

WAW-269CCA: SPEARHEAD
An incomplete, copper alloy (bronze) spearhead, likely from the Middle Bronze Age (1450-1150 BC). There is a central rib running along the blade with a high profile and a lozenge shaped cross section that tapers towards the tip of the spear, which would mean that the fragment is likely from a Middle Bronze Age looped and socketed spearhead, similar to HESH-8E7894. The original blade would likely have been leaf-shaped. The blade has lost some of its cutting edge due to abrasion in the soil, and parts of the blade have been chipped off, most notably a triangular section on the left-hand side of the blade. "Similar looped spearheads have been classified by Margaret Ehrenberg as Class IV; which she dates to the Middle Bronze Age specifically the second phase of Acton Park (2), Taunton (Cemmaes) or Penard metalworking traditions. These phases correspond with Needham's Period 5 (c. 1500 - 1150 BC). Two similar examples of the overall style of spearhead are illustrated in Savory: Guide Catalogue to the Bronze Age Collections ref: 230, Llanbeblig, Caern. and 337:2 Nantcwnlle, Cards. The later example was discovered in an excavation of a burial mound in association with a Pygmy Cup. The metal of the Nantcwnlle spear was analysed and found to be of Cemmaes metal dated to the period 1400-1200 BC. Davis (2012) classified this form of spearhead as his Group 6 Developed side looped - Type 6 B (flame - flat blade - lozenge plates)." - Reavill, P (2017) HESH-8E7894: A BRONZE AGE SPEARHEAD Web page available. at: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/866581 [Accessed: 20 Oct 2023 12:47:49] Dimensions.

YORYM-265ABD: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy headstud brooch of Roman date, c.AD 75 - 200. Mackreth 2011, Hinged Headstud Type, no direct parallel. The head of the brooch comprises rectangular wings the reverse of which act as a double lug hinge mechanism. An axis bar remains fitted through the lug though is broken and worn to either end. The pin no longer remains. The front of the wings is decorated with vertical bands of ribbing. Further decoration is difficult to determine due to wear. An integral D-sectioned bow extends centrally from the front of the wings, tapering to a worn break. An integral ovate headstud is present at the apex of the bow above which a raised crest is present. The metal has a dark green/black patina and is worn.

NMS-261BCD: KEY (LOCKING)
Post-medieval copper-alloy key for a casket. The stem is oval in cross-section and has a thickened collar just before the bow, bearing four transverse ribs on each of the two long faces. Three are grouped tightly together and the grooves between them are shallow, poorly defined and in one case not complete. There is a slightly wider gap between these and the fourth rib, which sits at the junction between the stem and bow. The bow is sub-oval with twin internal triangular projections, making it somewhat kidney-shaped internally. The bit is simple uncut flat rectangle. It is set back a few millimetres from the tip of the stem . Very similar to NMS-7940B5, NMS-24CD43 and NMS-38F930. 16th or 17th century. Length: 34.3mm. Width (at bow): 16.8mm.

The proximal end of the bone has been cut at an oblique angle, possibly to form a scoop. There is a round hole, 6.2mm in diameter cut through one side of the bone, possibly for the insertion of a lanyard. There is no other evidence of working or decoration. Possibly intended for use as an apple corer or perhaps a fid for rope splicing or basketry.

SUR-25DB3C: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A curved flint blade of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 49mm in length and struck from a dark brown flint. The distal end has been worked into a point with a small area of short scaled semi-abrupt retouch; there is also abrupt retouch along the concave edge, suggesting possible uses as a piercer or perhaps a hollow scraper.

BH-25C925: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Colchester one piece brooch, of Mackreth C1-2.e, dating from the Late Iron Age to Roman period (c. AD 25-60). The brooch has been bent into a loop. The surviving parts consist of the very worn wings, the bow, the foot and part of the compressed catch plate. The pin is missing. The head comprises two short, flat wings with upwardly bent outer edges. The worn upper part of a rear hook also survives, bent upwards and compressed in alignment with the bowed crest of the head. The sub-oval-sectioned bow projects from the lower edge of the wings, narrowing along its length. This extends into the circular-sectioned foot, which is coiled to one side of the bow. Partly within the coil and compressed to the reverse of the lower bow is a damaged catch-plate, with not enough evidence to attribute it to a sub-type. There is no discernible decoration on any part of the brooch. The patina is mottled light green and light brown in colour. It is possible that the brooch was bent into the shape of a finger-ring, albeit one with a small diameter. The brooch is bent into a loop with an external diameter of 19.4mm. The bow is a maximum of 4mm wide and 3.8mm thick. The wings are 7mm wide and 3mm thick. The object weighs 3.7 grams.

WAW-2388C4: COIN
An incomplete, extremely worn, copper alloy Roman nummus coin of the House of Constantine (AD 307-361) dating AD 321-324 (Reece Period 16). BEATA TRANQVILLITAS or BEAT TRANQLITAS reverse type depicting globe on altar inscribed VOTIS XX with three stars above. Uncertain mint. The surface of the coin has been heavily abraded and there are sections of the outer edges of the flan missing. Diameter: 18.33mm. Thickness: 1.81mm. Weight:1.89g. Die axis: Uncertain due to wear.

SUR-2215C9: COIN
A fragment of a silver early medieval penny of Ecgberht of Wessex (AD 802-839), portrait type dating to c.AD825-30, moneyer: Æthelmod, mint: Rochester (North 578var; Naismith R12.3var). Ref: North 1994: p.118; Naismith 2011: pl. 67-8, esp. R12.3a. The coin survives only as a fragment, approximately two-thirds of the outer circle missing, broken away along fracture lines roughly following the inner circle. There are crack lines across parts of the surviving flan. Obverse has a diademed head, right, [...]BEORH[...]. Reverse has four crescents around a lozenge shaped pellet in the central circle, [...](E)LmO[...]. Moneyer is Æthelmod, probably Rochester mint. This coin is the first example of R12.3/North 578 seen for a moneyer other than Dunn. The reverse design seen on this coin comprising a central lozenge-shaped pellet surrounded by four outward-facing crescents is only seen previously on Naismith R12.3a/North 578, a penny for the moneyer Dunn, but here the reverse reads [ ](E)LmO[ ] suggesting it belongs to the moneyer Æthelmod, another Rochester moneyer. This reverse design is also seen on earlier coins of Coenwulf both at Rochester (R1.3, Dunn; also a variation a central cross rather than pellet, R1.2, Dunn, and R2.3, Ealhstan) and Canterbury (C39.3, Diormod). The obverse portrait style and orientation of the inscription is seen on other coins of Ecgberht for Æthelmod and Dunn at Rochester.

WAW-15D527: COIN
A very worn, incomplete copper alloy Roman nummus coin of the House of Constantine (AD 307-361) dating AD 330-340 (Reece Period 17). VRBS ROMA coin with reverse depicting a she-wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus with two stars above. Heraclea mintmark. See RIC VII Heraclea 129. Diameter: 18.28mm. Thickness: 1.48mm. Weight: 1.90g. Die axis: 5.

WAW-15AE9F: COIN
A worn Roman copper alloy nummus coin of the House of Constantine (AD 307-361) and dating AD 335-341 (Reece Period 17).

KENT-15A154: HARNESS PENDANT
A copper alloy sexfoil harness pendant, dating to the Medieval period. Description: The pendant is sexfoil in shape, in imitation of a six petal flower, with a circular hole at it's centre. Protruding from the top petal is an incomplete attachment loop. The top of the loop is missing, making it look more crescent shaped. The loop is integrally cast to the body with the hole likely drilled for suspension. The pendant obverse is slightly convex whilst the reverse is concave. The outer edges of the petals are defined by approximately seventy punched circles. Some of these decorative dots retain gilding. The reverse shows no existing decoration. The rest of the object is a patinated green in colour. Measurements: Length: 38.25 mm; Width: 24.73 mm; Diameter of Central Hole: 1.2 mm; Thickness: 1.38 mm and Weight: 6.23g. Discussion: Horse harness pendants are ilustrated in 12th and 13th centuries manuscripts and are incorporated into 13th and 14th centuries aquamaniles. Griffiths (1995) suggests pendants of this form are generally later 13th or 14th century in date. Sexfoil pendants have also been found in pairs as 'swingers' within openwork frames so this may have originally been part of a set. Similar examples can be seen on the databse in LVPL-7B3371, DENO-D09F04 and YORYM-83F6C2 which displays the harness frame.

WAW-154AF9: COIN
A very worn Roman copper alloy nummus coin of Constans (AD 333-350) and dating AD 347-348 (Reece Period 17). VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN reverse type depicting two Victories holding wreaths with possibly a palm leaf between them. Trier mintmark. Diameter: 16.69mm. Thickness: 1.92mm. Weight: 1.86g. Die axis: 7.

A large part of the coin is missing from around 1 o'clock to around 5 o'clock. Diameter: 23.21mm. Thickness: 1.80mm. Weight: 2.23g. Die axis: 5.

SUR-14E5D1: JETTON
A post medieval copper alloy Nuremberg jetton, of early (anonymous) lion of St Mark type and dating to the first half of the 16th century. Fictitious legends on both sides. The jetton is unusually thick and weighs three times what would be expected for a typical example of this type, so it possibly can be interpreted as a piedfort or multiple value counter. See SWYOR-3A5F43 or NMS-8C75B6 for other possible piedforts from Nuremberg and KENT-A662A6 or WAW-316F3B for earlier examples from Tournai, all of comparable diameter and weight to this example (Mitchiner (1988): 231).

WAW-14C0AC: COIN
An incomplete, worn copper alloy Roman radiate coin of Victorinus (AD 269-271) and dating AD 269-271 (Reece Period 13). SALVS AVG reverse type depicting Salus standing right, feeding serpent in arms. See RIC V Victorinus 67. Parts of the outside edge of the coin are missing, with parts of the inscription on the obverse missing from around 7 o'clock to around 9 o'clock and part of the outer edge is missing from around 2 o'clock to around 4 o'clock on the obverse. Diameter: 20.26mm. Thickness: 1.98mm. Weight: 2.64g. Die axis: 1.

SUSS-14AD0A: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete late Medieval to early Post Medieval copper alloy belt hook, dating from c. AD 1400 to 1600. The object comprises a large hook recurving into a sub-rectangular loop, a corner of which is missing. The terminal of the hook is angled at 90°'s and is very worn but is likely zoomorphic and represents the head of a beast. The rectangular-sectioned arm extends from the xoomorphic terminal where it expands in width and thickens halfway along its length forming a transverse ridge, before extending into the upper arm which becomes D-shaped in section at the U-bend before narrowing again into the rectangular loop with a rectangular cross-section. The upper surfaces of the arm are decorated with incised cross-hatching extending from the base of the zoomorphic hook to a rectangular panel with incised saltire; the decoration separated by an incised transverse groove. Beyond the ridge the arm expands into an elongated pentangonal panel also filled with incised cross-hatching. The rest of the object is plain and undecorated. Measurements: length 34.90mm, width 23.57mm, thickness 6.76mm, weight 9.31g. These strapfittings or belt hooks function with the loop slid onto a belt strap with something looped over the hook end and suspended from the curve at the base. The hooked terminal often takes a zoomorphic form. Similar objects on the PAS database include DOR-C20CB0 and HAMP-F8410F and a rare silver example BH-ECDF96.The PAS finds guide for Belt Hooks suggests that If, as argued (Goodall 2011, 342), these belt hooks were used with metal purse frames then a date range covering the 15th and 16th centuries would seem likely.

WAW-14674E: CROTAL
An incomplete, copper alloy crotal bell with an iron ball of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The object is composed of two hemispheres divided by a raised, circumferential rib. The top hemisphere is near complete and has two sound holes on opposite sides of the bell, one with a 4.74mm diameter (though with a roughly sub-rectangular section missing around 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock around the edge) and the other 5.18mm in diameter. There are the remains of a transverse suspension loop that appears to have possibly been rounded at one end and roughly rectilinear at the other in plan with a similarly shaped perforation, and for the loop itself to have had a sub-rectangular cross section. The remains of the suspension loop largely consist of the sides of the loop, with the rounded top of the loop being missing. The bottom hemisphere is largely in tact, though part of one side is missing, which consists of two roughly lozenge shaped holes (one 1.23mm long and 0.43mm wide, the other 1.54mm long and 0.89mm wide) and a sub-rectangular hole (2.54mm long, 1.18mm wide) connected by hariline tears. Both sound holes are largely in tact and are located on opposite sides of the bell with a connecting slit, with one having a 5.03mm diameter and the other a 5.59mm diameter, though there are some tears around the sound holes and some sections missing. The lower hemisphere is heavily worn and abraded, with there being little sign of decoration other than what may possibly be traces of gilding around the edge of one of the sound holes. The object has a large dark green patina. The iron ball is still inside of the bell. Dimensions. Height: 31.44mm. Diameter: 27.32mm. Weight: 18.73g.

ESS-1432A9: VESSEL
A fragment of a ceramic vessel of probable Roman date (43 - 410 AD). Description: The object is a handle sherd, sub-rectangular in plan, triangular in profile and u-shaped in cross-section with one end which partially surviving. This is curved on the inside and square on the outside. The other end ends in a transverse break. The sherd is orange with a grey core. It is hard with well-sorted frequently inclusions of small irregular quartz sand. Small (<1mm) round voids on the surfaces and break suggest organic inclusions or calcerous temper inclusions. The exterior face of the handle has a central vertical, although slightly curved indentation. Measurements: length: 66.1mm; width at narrowest: 37.4mm; width at widest 54.3mm; thickness 14.4mm; weight: 63g. Disucussion: The object is possibly the handle of an amphora.

YORYM-14306C: COIN
A silver Post-Medieval penny of James I (AD 1603-1625) dating to the period AD 1605-1606. Second coinage. Thistle reverse. Rose initial mark. Mint of London. As North Vol 2, p.146, no.2106/1.

WMID-1426BC: COIN
An incomplete Roman copper-alloy nummus of House of Constantine (AD 306-364) dating to c. AD 348-364 (Reece Period 18). FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type, Soldier advancing left spearing fallen horseman. Unclear mint.

ESS-141F71: VESSEL
A fragment of a ceramic vessel of probable Roman date (43 - 410 AD). Description: The object is a handle sherd, sub-rectangular in plan, and B-shaped in cross section with a curve at one end and with a small amount <9mm of the vessel body still attached at the other. The sherd is pale orange on the exterior and core. The fabric is hard with sparse white and orange inclusions of <1mm. A cream coloured slip has been applied extending from the joint of the handle for about 50mm of its length, where it fades out. The inside of the body has raised lines suggesting it was wheel-made. Measurements: length: 92.0mm; width at top: 28mm; width at base 41.7mm; thickness 10.8mm; body thickness 5.3mm; weight: 42g. Discussion: The shape and angle of the handle suggests it came from a jug or small amphora.

SUSS-141859: HARNESS PENDANT
An incomplete cast copper-alloy quatrefoil armorial harness pendant of Medieval date, c.AD 1340- 1450. The pendant is almost complete but some of the enamelling is missing. The plate is quatrefoil in plan with four rounded lobes and projecting points in the spandrels. The suspension loop with a circular aperture and flatter reverse is complete and set at 90°'s to the plate. The plate is decorated in champleve enamel. In the centre is a square blue (azure) field with lion passant guardant advancing left. The four lobes feature a red (gules) field each with central a fleur-de-lis. The cells of the four projecting points are empty. The reverse is plain and undecorated with a dark brown patina. Measurements: total length 31.07, width 21.32mm, thickness 2.45mm, weight 6.32g. Harness pendants are of Medieval date and most popular in the 13th and early 14th century (Griffiths 1986).This pendant is similar to examples in Ashley (2002). Fig: 21 no's 212 and 213 who suggests that pendants of this quatrefoiled form are a later development and appear after 1340 when the fleur-de-lis of France were quartered with the lions of England. (ibid, 23). Similar examples on the PAS database include: OXON-EC3876, SWYOR-EFC382, and YORYM-628A8F.

WMID-140E58: COIN
A complete Roman copper-alloy nummus of House of Constantine (AD 306-364) dating to c. AD 348-364 (Reece Period 18). FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type, Soldier advancing left spearing fallen horseman. Unclear mint.

YORYM-13F955: COIN
A silver Post-Medieval halfgroat of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603) dating to the period AD 1594 - 1596. Third Issue. Square shield on long cross fourchee reverse. Woolpack initial mark. Mint of London. North Vol 2, p.137, no.2016.

WMID-13F0AB: COIN
A complete Roman copper-alloy nummus of House of Constantine (AD 306-364) dating to 330-340 (Reece Period 17). Possibly CONSTANTINOPOLIS / Victory standing left on prow with spear and shield reverse type. Unclear mint.

GLO-13BE16: CUFF LINK
An incomplete silver cufflink or button with an impressed design in relief of two hearts surmounted by a large crown against a stippled field. The item has a downturned rim and a hollow reverse that mounts a complete loop in the centre. This cufflink element falls within Lewis's'Crown and Heart' Form 1, Type A, crown above two hearts (Lewis 2013, 6). Buttons and cufflinks featuring similar designs are thought to have originally been produced to commemorate the marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza in 1662, but the design continued to be used as a general symbol of love and marriage.

SUSS-139B2A: RING
A complete cast copper-alloy ring of probable late Iron Age or Roman date c. 300 BC - AD 100. The cast ring is circular in plan and sub-circular in section with a raised moulded decorative panel running around the outside edge. The panel comprises two parallel rows of zigzag or wavy lines coming together to form a continuous looped border enclosed on each side by a single raised band. There is a groove running through the centre of the border bisecting the loops. The object has a shiny green patina with patches of green corrosion where the original surface has been lost due to damage. The ring is narrower and thinner on one side possibly from wear where rubbed by a strap. Measurements: diameter 36.43mm, internal diameter 22.44mm, thickness 9.51mm, weight 28.70g. Rings of this type are generally believed to have been harness or strap fittings, however, they may have a variety of uses.The evidence of wear suggests that this ring may have functioned as a rein guide or terret, or alternative strap fitting. Rings and harness fittings with similar decorative bands around the outside edges are recorded on the PAS database including: SOM-3B5971, SUSS-8C1FBC and GLO-67EF31 all with a suggested Late Iron Age to early Roman date. A similar example of slightly different form WILT-50C040; can be compared to an extremely similar copper alloy ring, No. 143, excavated at Camerton, also identified as a possible harness pendant or strap terminal (Jackson 1990: 48 & plt. 14).

ESS-1380C8: VESSEL
A fragment of a ceramic probable vessel of unknown date. Description: The object is in the form of a stylised animal foot with at least three toes (two surviving) and stylised fur feathering at the back of the leg and ankle. Probably one of the legs of a ceramic vessel. The foot has a flat base. Upper surface is oval and inclined at approximately 25 degrees down from front to back. Upper surface is broken and worn except for a transverse, smooth, very slightly concave band 19.5mm wide. This may be the remains of the inside of the supported vessel, or of the surface intended to connect to ithe supported vessel. Some toes are broken off. right side of foot (as seen from front) is broken off. Unbroken surfaces are smooth. It is made from a hard orange fabric with no inclusions. It is unglazed. Probably made in a mould. Measurements: height: 52.9mm; width at top: 37.5mm; width at narrowest 23.1mm; width at foot: 30.4mm; depth at top: 43.9mm; depth at foot: 41.4mm; weight: 76g.

WAW-136F90: BUCKLE
A complete copper alloy single loop buckle of medieval date, dating to circa AD 1250 - 1400. The buckle is sub triangular in plan with an offset strap bar. There are sub rectangular mouldings at the end of each side of the strap bar as it joins the frame. The opposing outer edge to the strap bar is expanded into a sub-triangular shape with a small, pointed knop at each corner of the terminal. There is a linear groove to act as the pin rest that has a linear incision along its length either side. The reverse side of the buckle is flat and un-decorated. The pin is missing. The buckle has a dark green coloured surface patina. There are many parallels recorded on the PAS database including SWYOR-836CD8 and SWYOR-535254 both discovered in North Yorkshire. Whitehead (2003) also illustrates similar buckles on page 24, no 108. The buckle measures 31.7 mm in length, 24.7 mm in width, 2.7 mm in thickness and weighs 6 grams. Whitehead, R. (2003) Buckles 1250 - 1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.

WAW-134C0D: HARNESS FITTING
An Iron Age copper-alloy strap junction dating to circa 150 BC to AD 100. There are three conjoined incomplete circular loops.The breaks have well-developed patinas. There is a slight depression in the centre of the loops. The object has a light green coloured surface patina. There are other harness fittings recorded on the PAS database of a similar form; WAW-CA0CC0 is a complete example discovered in Warwickshire although it has a central boss in the centre. Another example HAMP2961 discovered in Wiltshire has a central face depicted between the loops. The object measures 21.3 mm in length, 20.1 mm in width, 6.3 mm in thickness and weighs 6.4 grams.

WAW-1333D0: BROOCH
An incomplete, copper alloy Roman Colchester Derivative brooch of the Polden Hill type dating AD 90-130. Possibly Mackreth (2011) CD PH 4a. The spring, pin, foot, most of the catch plate, part of the wings, and part of the wing caps are missing. The head is 19.15mm wide including the semi-cylindrical wings. The wings terminate in sub-oval wing caps, though a greater percentage of the right wing cap survives compared to the left wing cap. There is no extant decoration on the wings. The head is hump-like and on both sides there is arched moulding present at the junction between the head and the wings, though it is more pronounced on the right-hand side of the head than the left-hand side. At the front of the head, there appears to be a remnant of what was most likely a rearward facing hook, though it may have been part of a central pierced lug through which the cord passed. The bow emerges from the back of the head and has a sub-oval cross section, starting off at 7.46mm wide and 7.03mm thick, tapering to 2.45mm wide and 3.35mm thick, including part of the catch plate, just before the break at the end. Most of the catch plate is now missing, though part of it does remain. There is no extant decoration on the head or bow, which would suggest that this is a possibly Mackreth (2011) CD PH 4a brooch, however, it is heavily abraded and parts of the head where there might have been decoration have been chipped off. The brooch has a largely dark, greenish brown patina. Dimensions. Length: 40.81mm. Width: 19.15mm. Height: 16.48mm. Weight: 11.93g.

KENT-10D6ED: WEIGHT
A complete cast iron trade weight dating to the Post-Medieval to Modern period (c.AD 1600-1826). Description: The weight is circular in shape with a raised rim with recessed centre on the upper surface There are two incised concentric circles in the centre. At 12 and 6 o'clock are stamped the City of Westminster 'portcullis'; the in the style of the pre-imperial standard (pre 1826) mark. The lower surface has a wide flat rim with indented centre. Within this are three concentric ridges surroundinding a raised central nub, this has been incised with what appears to be an extended W, that terminates in an arrow head, this may be the makers or owners mark. Measurements: Diameter 60.0mm; thickness 13.5mm, weight 200g Discussion: The weight of this trade weight is pre-metric, 8oz/half pound. The design of the mark changed in 1826, when 'Imperial Standard' weights were established and the mark changed to include the date 1826 above the portcullis. Thus, this example certainly dates prior to 1826.

SUR-108836: MOUNT
A broken terminal from a medieval mount, probably from a harness fitting (e.g. SUR-93D2FC). The fragment comprises a rounded attachment loop, decorated with small flaring projections at its base and a subrectangular collar behind. This collar is decorated with cross hatched lines and on the opposing end to the loop has an old break to a projecting arm with a trapezoidal cross section. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated.

SUR-107106: BOOK FITTING
A hinged copper alloy fitting, probably from a book cover. The object comprises two components; a subrectangular plate, 35.1mm in length, with a hole at one end (probably to fit over a peg on an opposing mount) and a triangular plate, 31.2mm in length with a small rivet hole in the centre and a decorative trefoil or cruciform terminal.

The main plate is rectangular with open work decoration comprising a central four petalled flower with triangular petals. There are three protruding knops on each opposing side of the plate and a sub-rectangular flange on one end extending into a broken suspension loop with worn breaks. The object has a dark grey patina. Measurements: length 24.31mm, width 17.03mm, thickness 2.30mm, weight 3.42g. The object is similar to single sharp hooked clasps, (Read Class E, type 1) found in Read (2008) ; see no: 297 which date c. 1500-1650. Initially, it appeared to be an openwork clasp missing the rectangular attachment loop; the incomplete suspension loop being the stub of the hook. However, close inspection show it unlikely to be a clasp as they are consistently completely flat on the reverse, whereas this example would have had a protruding lip. Also the loop is the wrong orientation for an eye and this type are noted as being single finds, rather than forming pairs (ibid: 87). As such it is suggested to be a pendant of similar date on styalistic grounds.

DEV-FBBC22: COIN
An uninscribed base silver Iron Age stater of the Durotriges, South Western region, dating to the period c.65 BC - AD 45. The coin is of the "Cranborne Chase" type. The obverse shows a pattern that was originally based on a stylised head (possibly of Apollo), although the design has 'devolved' into something more abstract. There are three crescent shapes on the obverse. The rest of the design has worn away. The reverse shows a stylised horse with two disjointed legs and five pellets above it; also, a larger pellet below, which is very worn. The horse is slightly off-centre. The coin has been clipped. Diameter: 16mm. Weight: 2.50g; thickness 2mm. Parallels: SUR- ED1BC7; IOW-FFB7ED.

DEV-FBBB3D: HARNESS FITTING
A copper-alloy possible harness fitting dating to the medieval period c. AD 1100-1200. The object has been cast in the form of a fish or a dolphin with an elongated body which spirals around to form a ring. The tail flares out in a semi-circular shape and projects from the back of the ring. There is a rectangular socket projecting from the upper side edge of the ring. There are two fins which project each side of the head to form horizontal bars; the tip of the one of the fins is broken and missing. The body of the fish is decorated with a scale-like pattern and there are flaring lines providing the detail on the tail. The fish has a broad, snub nose and the eyes are depicted by a ring and dot motif. On the underside of the head there is a circular lug or small stand which probably was in contact with another element. Dimensions: length: 59 mm; width: 36 mm; diameter of ring: 28 mm; weight: 40.78 g. This object is unusual with only two similar examples on the PAS database; IOW-A87381 and LON-B3AE96. IOW-A87381 has been recorded as an unidentified object of unknown period. Whereas LON-B3AE96 has been recorded as a probable Roman copper-alloy mount. Due to the uncertainty, Prof. Martin Henig was contacted. Prof. Henig has commented that the object appears to be Romanesque but not Roman, perhaps dating to the 12th century. The head of the fish, with an upturned nose, is similar to the head of a needle in Winchester, English Romanesque Art catalogue p.251 no 252, or Salisbury Museum Medieval Catalogue 4, p.136 no 180. The tail of the fish is also dissimilar to Roman examples. The object was likely something that swivelled, perhaps a harness.

ESS-FBB541: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting of post medieval date (c. 1500-1700) Description: The plate has a large central hole (6.0mm in diameter) bordered by trefoil knops with deep cusps on each side. There were two rivet holes, one at each side of the central hole, but the clasp has broken off near one of these. The undamaged end of the clasp has a straight. rectangular section, with a central incised groove. The object has slightly chamfered edges, and a deep green patina. The rivet hole contains a red/brown deposit, which is likely the remains of the original rivet. Measurements: Length:22.8 mm, Width: 17.3mm Thickness: 1.4 mm, Weight: 1.96g Discussion: Similar fittings are illustrated in Read (2008) p. 208-9, no. 753 and 754 and described as Toggle clasps which are closely associated with sword belts and scabbard fittings.

OXON-FB86D2: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative, Polden Hill brooch of Mackreth (2011) CD type type 5.a, probably dating to c. AD 75-175. The brooch consists of the wings, bow and small section of catchplate only. It is missing the spring, the pin and most of the catchplate. The flat wing ends survive to a width of 29.01mm and are semi-cylindrical with two oval perforated wing caps with an open back. Brown corrosion product in the perforation may indicate an iron axis bar. The wings caps taper inwards towards the back of the brooch. The front faces of the wings are each decorated with four slightly raised vertical lines formed as pairs with beaded incised lines placed within each pair. The bow projects from the top and front of the wings with a width of 8.11mm. The bow narrows down its length to a broken foot that is 2.45mm wide. The bow has a decorative ridge defined by two parallel incised lines running from the edge of the lug which thins to eventually merge with foot of the bow. Only a small section of the catchplate projects from the reverse of the bow. This is triangular in shape for its surviving portion. The brooch is a dark green colour. The brooch is 50.88mm long, 29.01mm wide, 4.68mm thick in profile and weighs 12.96 grams. Similar examples to this brooch illustrated by Hattat (2000: 298-300 particularly No.899).

OXON-FAE225: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative, Polden hill brooch, probably dating to c. AD 70-110. The brooch consists of the wings and upper bow only. It is missing the spring, the pin, the lower bow and catchplate. The wings take the form of a cylinder capped with two perforated, oval wing caps. It has an open back into which the missing spring would have originally fitted. The upper bow consists of a raised knop pierced by a circular hole that is positioned at the bow’s centre above the wings. The knop diffuses into a raised ridge that runs vertically down the bow’s central axis. The bow projects from the front and centre of the wings and tapers down ending in a transverse and worn break. It is mostly D-shaped in cross-section (flat reverse, convex front) becoming sub-circular as it tapers. The front of the bow has moulded decoration. This consists of a central ridge flanked by a raised chevron and moulded collars flanking the edge of the bow for the length of the wings. The brooch is a light green colour across its surface. The overall length of the brooch fragment is 15.82mm and is 20.71mm wide across the wings and 3.31mm across the broken bow. It is 2.37mm thick and weighs 2.89 grams. Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar examples (2000, p 301, Fig. 160, nos 901, 902 and 382) and dates Polden Hill types to the 1st century AD. Broadly similar examples to this brooch with the moulded chevron decoration are recorded on the Portable Antiquities database: OXON-74DB3C, OXON-A1982C and OXON-96E190. Within Mackreth’s (2011) corpus of the Polden Hill type brooches, the closest fit for this brooch is no. 1832 (Mackreth 2011, 50, Pl. 50) which he classifies as a type 5.c. Both date this form of brooch to the mid 1st to 2nd century AD.

YORYM-E99221: THIMBLE
An incomplete copper-alloy thimble of medieval date, c.AD 1300 - 1500. The thimble has circular base and sloping sides which curve towards the top where they form the crown, creating a dome. A portion of the dome is lost to worn breaks. A series of irregular spiralling pits extend from the crown towards the base. A double banded circumferential collar is present just above the lower edge of the thimble and also at the juncture of the sides and dome. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The thimble is 12.3mm tall, 16.1mm in diameter, 1.7mm thick and weighs 1.8g. Thimbles have been in common use in England from the 14th century onwards and Geoff Egan (2010, p.265) states that no medieval thimble indisputably dating from before the 14th century has been found in England. They were originally used to protect the finger used to push a needle through sewing material and were commonly used by dressmakers and tailors. From the circa 16th century onwards silver thimbles were regarded as an ideal gift for ladies and have become gifts and collector's items made of a variety of materials including base and precious metals, and china. The pits on the surface of thimbles were originally created by the technique of hand punching though, in the mid-18th century they were machine-made. Ref: Egan, G. (1998) The Medieval Household: Daily Living c.1150-c.1450 (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London). London: The Stationery Office.

The main plate is rectangular with a steeply arched semi-circular section and is decorated on the upper surface with a rectangular panel of cross-hatching flanked by two parallel transverse bands. The remains of an integral hook extends from one end of the plate, terminating in a worn break. The back panel sheet has been lost. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The hooked tag is 29.3mm long, 14mm wide, 8.2mm thick and weighs 6.3g. A similar example is illustrated in Read, p.54, no.168 and is dated to the early post-medieval period. Read (2008; 53) suggests that a textile strap, cord or leather thong was inserted in the open end of these hooked tags, returned through the aperture in the reverse plate, and then secured on itself by riveting, seizing, stitching or knotting. The function (or functions) of hooked tags is uncertain. They are small, with a plate and a sharp hook which bends to the rear. What they were stitched to or hooked into is uncertain. They may have hooked into holes in textile or leather, perhaps rather like a buttonhole. Ref: Flynn, T.

YORYM-E8FD85: PIN
An incomplete copper-alloy pin of probable Roman to Early Medieval date, c. AD 43 – 900. The pin comprises a globular head with radiating spiral groove decoration and a flat top. A narrow, circular sectioned shaft extends from the opposite side of the pin head. It is very short, terminating in a worn break and no collar is present. The metal has a delaminated mid-green patina and is worn. The object is 13.7mm long, 9.3mm in diameter at the head, 2.7 in diameter at the shaft, and weighs 3.6g. Pins of this style are difficult to date without supporting context. Similar pins have been recorded on the database including SWYOR-8A5A4B, PUBLIC-A3BC0E and SOM-A58F23 which notes that "Pins with globular heads, radiating spiraling lines (sometimes referred to as wrythen-headed or spiral-headed) and collars at the top of the shaft are found in both the Roman and later Early Medieval period. Early Medieval examples are mostly dated to the 8th-9th century although Mainman & Rogers (2000:2578) suggest a broad date range-c.600 to 1050 based on examples from York. However Early Medieval examples (cf Mainman and Rogers and also Hinton 1996:16) are usually much more globular than this example". Furthermore, this example does not have a collar. The lack of a collar could make a Roman date more likely though a later date into the medieval period cannot be ruled out.

WMID-E8F745: COIN
A clipped silver penny of Edward I (1272-1307) minted in Cantebury issue of 1301-1310. The coin has been overstruck, causing the legend on the obverse to be struck twice.

The central panel of the main plate depicts a faint serpentine Trewhiddle style beast. The reverse of the strap end is flat and undecorated. The metal has a mid-red/brown patina and is worn. The object is 36.1mm long, 12.7mm wide, 2.9mm thick and weighs 4.6g. Strap ends are a common Early-Medieval find which have been classified into several types by Gabor Thomas with this example fitting into Thomas' Class A, Type 1. It is thought to be particularly typical of the 9th century due to its representation within coin hoards as well as its stylistically diagnostic features. Trewhiddle decoration was commonly employed in high-class metalwork and was also copied in cheaper metals, suggesting it was "a fashion to which most of the populace aspired" (Thomas 2000, p.71). Thomas (2000, p.69) describes Class A, Type 1 strap ends as being "characterised by a number of distinctive morphological and decorative features, which were copied in each case with varying degrees of competence".

DENO-E82177: STRAP END
A cast copper alloy strap end, possibly of early medieval date, with a moulded zoomorphic terminal (c. AD 900 - 1400). The strap end has a narrow, tapering plate, split to accommodate the strap and with a single rivet centrally placed at the rounded attachment edge still in situ. The upper surface of the plate appears to have incised decoration, now very abraded and indistinct, possibly a series of lozenges and lines. The upper plate has chamfered edges. The lower plate appears undecorated. It is corroded and has patches of glossy dark green patina. It is slightly chipped at the attachment edge. The terminal is unusual in that it has a moulded zoomorphic head rising on a 'neck' from the plate, and standing proud from the rest of the strap end. This head is of a reptilian beast, possibly a dragon or wyvern. The snout with nostrils is well defined, the maw is open, with visible tongue. Whilst the dragon-themed decoration is suggestive of an early medieval, Anglo-Scandinavian date, Rob Webley cautions against ascribing an early medieval date to zoomorphic terminals, pointing out there here are many medieval examples of zoomorphic terminals modelled in three dimensions, and cites an example in (Egan and Pritchard, 2002; pg. 132-133, fig. 86, no. 614) dated to the 14th century (Webley, 2019; https://finds.org.uk/counties/yorkshire/thin-up-north/). This strap end broadly conforms to the form identified by Webley (2019) as a possible type distributed in the North of England, with long, thin, tapering plate and a moulded, three-dimensional zoomorphic terminal. However, it differs in that the terminal is raised from the plate to form a prow-like structure. No exact parallel has been found on the database. Overall length 51 mm, width 8mm tapering to 4 mm, height 12 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 6.8 g.

DENO-E81D98: COIN

WMID-E80E55: COIN
A clipped Medieval silver groat of Edward III (1327-1377), minted at London. Obverse: Crowned bust facing within a tresure of arches, with no pellets or fleurs above the crown. The lettering on the outer edge has been worn and clipped, thus hard to distinguish. Reverse: Inner circle with CIVITAS LONDON, with two pellets in T·A·S, unbarred Ns, an annulet in the DON quadrant. Long cross pattee diving the legend with three pellets in each angle. This coin has therefore been identified as Series G (1356-1361), Standard Type F, ref: 1197 (North, 1991, p. 53). North, J.J. 1991. English Hammered Coinage, Volume II, Edward I to Charles II, 1272-1662. Spink & Son, London Measurements : Diameter: 25.6mm Weight: 4.07g Die Axis: 12

WMID-E80527: VESSEL
A copper-alloy leg with no foot, from a post-medieval skillet. The leg widens from the base towards the point it would have joined the body of the vessel. Butler, Green, and Payne (2009) identify a similar type as being 'characteristic of all 18th and 19th century skillets.'

YORYM-E802E1: FINGER RING
A complete copper-alloy spiral ring of probable Bronze Age to Roman date, c.1500 BC – AD 300. The object is formed of a circular sectioned rod of metal with cut ends. The ring has one coil and is undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is in fair condition. The ring is 25.4mm long, 24.4mm wide, 3.7mm thick and weighs 4.8g. Some rings of this type appear to be made from reused fragments of metal and a few are far too big to have been worn on the finger. It has therefore been suggested that they could have been used as hair ornaments or as harness and horse equipment. Spiral rings may, at their earliest, be Bronze Age; see one in the British Museum from the Bronze Age collection found in Heathery Burn Cave. There are also examples on the PAS database of securely dated Middle Bronze Age hoards containing several finger-rings; see WILT-038191 and SUSS-C5D042 for examples. Spiral finger-rings are known from the middle Iron Age (e.g. one now in the British Museum from Garton Station, Yorkshire) but become commoner in the late Iron Age (e.g. one now in the British Museum from the late Iron Age cemetery of King Harry Lane, Verulamium; Stead 1991, 103-4, no. e3) and continue into the Roman period. Good examples of late Iron Age or Roman spiral finger-rings include WAW-8B2932, SOMDOR-89E565, CPAT-CB6BE6, DUR-00F326 and HESH-A3BB08.

YORYM-E7E243: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
An incomplete copper-alloy blunt-hooked dress fastener of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1600 - 1700. Reads Class A, Type 2. The main plate is sub-ovate with two complete ovate attachment knops projecting from either side of the outer edges. A third attachment knop is present to the pointed end of the plate. The wider end of the plate displays worn projections which would have formed an integral eye. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with a spray of three flowers bordered by ring and dot motifs. The metal has a mid-grey shiny patina suggesting a white-metal coating and is worn. The object is 33.9mm long, 27.7mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 4.6g. A similar example is illustrated in Read (2008), p.171, no.641 and is dated to the early post-medieval period. Flynn (2016) suggests that blunt-hooked fasteners should be dated to the 17th century. An example is known from a 17th-century context in Lincoln, and another from a 1680s dump at Mark Browns Wharf, London. A few oval examples have decoration including symbols of the Commonwealth and are thus datable to 1649-1660. Ref: Flynn, T.

HAMP-E7A084: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap fitting or strap union junction of probable later Iron Age to early Roman date. It is formed from four loops joined at a central boss decorated with a stylised human head in relief. The head depicts the facial features beneath a pronounced brow ridge which may indicate a hairline. The nose is quite pronounced and tapers down from beneath the brow. The eyes are suken and site quite close to the nose. The mouth is represented by two pressed lips which take the shape of two raised parallel ridges. Beneath this the chin extends outwardly slightly before sharpley coming in to meet a loop at the bottom which has broken off. The other three loops sit to the left, right, and above the face. simply executed: a narrow raised ridge for the nose with simple small round holes for eyes and a slit for the mouth. What may be the brow or fringe is depicted by a straight line with several thin raised ridges extending back over the top of the head, possibly represtning hair. The three loops are all intact and one shows signs of wear on one edge. These objects are thought to be strap junctions, possibly for harnesses or bridles and date to the Late Iron Age, c. 100 BC to c. AD 43.

SUSS-E71534: VESSEL
An incomplete copper alloy cast moulded triangular mount of possible early medieval date c. 600-725. The object consists of a curved triangular plate. A small section is missing from one edge, and there is damage to the outside edge of two of the corners with semi-worn breaks. The entire upper surface is decorated in raised moulded relief comprising a triskele style design. The centre of the design comprises a broadly triangular, trilobed element, each side formed from a shallow 'S'-shaped form with linear sides and curved terminals. This central motif is framed by three linear 'V'-shaped elements, each with one shorter arm, filling the rest of the plate. The terminals of each 'V' meet the terminals of the inner triangular element, forming a radiating spiral. A raised single linear border runs around edge of the plate. Most of the recesses are empty, but some retain a creamy white material, probably enamel. The back is plain, with no clear evidence of attachment although the plate is slightly thicker at the corners. The object has a pale green patina. Dimensions: length: 36.83mm, width: 32.34mm, thickness: 2.00mm, weight: 8.37g The curved nature of the plate suggests it may have been a decorative mount associated with a vessel; possibly from an Anglo- Saxon hanging bowl. However, the four strand interlace decoration is unusual with no parallels found. Compare BUC-B82F61; BH-5A9EA1 and SF-30C065; circular mounts or escutcheons with similar style decoration and SF9288, a triangular form. The date range suggested by Geake (1999: 17) for the deposition of all hanging bowls is c. 600 - c. 725 AD.

It is very worn and corroded and has a brown patina with areas of verdigris. There is no legible legend and it is too worn to make out which side is the obverse and the reverse. Measurements are diameter 18.8mm; thickness 0.4mm; weight 1.30g.

NMS-D3CEB7: BORER
Tertiary hard hammer, sub-triangular struck flake, of brown/orange patinated flint, one long side of the flake is the “step” of hinged flake scar, this has made a long lip along this edge, the opposing long edge has fine retouch or use wear along its edge, the platform has been neatly trimmed from the dorsal face to straighten it. Possibly a boring tool or a drill that may have been intended to be hafted. Neolithic, possibly early, 4,000 to 3,000 BC.

SWYOR-D3CCDE: SHOT
A Post Medieval lead shot dating from AD 1600 - 1800. The ball is sub-spherical and has flattened areas, and possible band of set up. The casting seam is not visible. Measurements are; diameter 18.6mm and weight 36.88g. The mass suggests use in a musket.

SWYOR-D3CA7A: COIN
A copper alloy pierced coin probably of the post medieval to modern period, possibly from the eighteenth century, AD 1700 - 1800. It is corroded and has a greenish-brown patina and has been pierced close to the edge with a small circular hole. The coin could be of foreign issue, possibly a type of centime from France or Spain. Diameter 14.2mm; thickness 0.3mm; weight 0.56g. Obverse: bearded bust left; [...](OB)RIE[...] Reverse: possible wreath; [...]

SWYOR-D3C38A: TOY
Two pieces of lead, possibly from the same object, probably part of a Post medieval toy whirligig or buzz disc dating from AD 160 - 1800. Both pieces have one curved and serrated edge. The other edges are broken, but the two pieces do not apear to join. There are at least 6 holes perforated in the larger piece, arranged in a grid pattern, and there are at least 4 holes in the smaller piece. The largest piece is 31.7mm long, 28.5mm wide, 4.4mm thick and weighs 11.71g. The smaller piece is 32.2mm long, 18.0mm wide, 3.7mm thick and weighs 7.97g.The number of perforations casts doubt on the identification as most buzz wheels have 2 or 4 holes. Whirligigs or buzz wheels were mounted on looped strings which were held in tension at each end. Rapid rotation twisted the strings and alternate pulling and relaxing causes a whirring noise from the spinning discs. The serrated edges helped produce the noise. Examples are found in Forsyth and Egan (2005) page 387 forwards. It is possible that the objects are part of a watering can rose or a drain cover or ventilation grill instead.

SWYOR-D3BA62: COIN
A copper alloy Roman coin; a nummus probably of Constantine I (AD 307-337), dating from AD 310-319 (Reece Period 15). SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse type depicting Sol standing left with globe. Uncertain mint. Letters in field unclear. The diameter is 16.3mm; thickness 1.5mm; weight 1.93g.

The object is 25.2mm in diameter, 7.2mm thick and weighs 43.0g. The central hole is 7.5mm diameter. Walton Rogers form B1 whorls are known from AD 700 to about AD 1200 but the size of the hole suggests a date in the early to middle Saxon period is more likely. See SWYOR-BF26BA for a similar example.

YORYM-D3B233: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1660 - 1720. The object is a trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle.

SWYOR-D3AEA7: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy single-loop buckle dating to the Medieval period, about AD 1250 - 1350. It is of Meols type 11. The frame is sub-oval in plan with bowed sides. The outer edge is expanded and thickened, with a central recess for a sheet roller. There is decoration of the front face of the outer edge of the frame and the roller in the form of four thick longitudinal grooves and five transverse grooves, leaving the front face gridded. The back face is undecorated. The pin bar is narrowed and recessed. The pin is incomplete. It is copper alloy and rectangular in cross-section, bent round the bar at one end. Any plate is missing. The object has a mid-green patina and the breaks are not recent. Dimensions: The object has a length of 18.6mm, a width of 14.6mm, a thickness of 4.8mm and it weighs 2.7g.

SWYOR-D3AD03: BUCKLE
A copper alloy single looped buckle, of uncertain Medieval or Post medieval date, about AD 1350 - 1700. The buckle has an oval loop with a very offset and narrowed bar, leaving an almost T shaped frame. The outer edge is expanded into two flat circular lobes, each covered with oblique groves. The sides of the frame also have oblique grooves. The loop of the copper alloy pin survives in situ. There are traces of a black coating. The buckle is 27.3mm long, 27.1mm wide, 5.1mm thick and weighs 5.50g. There is no close parallel in Whtehead, nor Egan and Pritchard, and a similar example has not been found following quick searches on the PAS database. The single looped frame is normally found on Medieval buckles, and the elongated shape is similar to number 171 on page 30 of Whitehead, which is dated 1350 - 1500. However, the decorated frame and black coating is more commonly found on Post Medieval buckles.

SWYOR-D3A3BE: COIN

SWYOR-D3A328: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
A cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval toggle piece from a hook and eye style fitting, of Read's Early Post-Medieval unclassifed toggle-clasps Type 5 (Read, 2008: no. 761), dating from AD 1500 - 1700. It may be pasrt of a sword belt fitting. It has a flat plate with a damaged attachment end and pairs of large semi-circular notches to each side. At the terminal end is a projecting disc that would have enabled the object to lock in place with the corresponding catch/eye piece. At the centre of the attachment end and at the centre of the plate towards the terminal are the remains of single iron rivets. The front face of the object has extensive moulded decoration. This comprises floral/foliate motifs that run the length of the plate within a raised outer border, the disc having a voided cross fleury in relief. Measurements are; length 39.1mm, width 13.6mm, thickness 3.4mm and weight 4.85g. This toggle belongs to Read's (2008) Early Post-Medieval unclassifed toggle-clasps Type 5 and can be compared to his no. 761. This suggests a date in the 16th-17th centuries AD for the current example. Compare also BERK-689029 and SF-EFDEE7.

The mount has a green/brown patina and is 26.7mm long, 10.1mm wide and 4.2mm thick. It weighs 2.27g. WMID-2935B5 is a similar example. The record notes that: "Read (2001) illustrates a number of similar mounts all dating to the 17th century (page 37 no's 331-333). They were used to decorate leather belts, straps or harnesses. Read, B., (2001) Metal artefacts of antiquity: A catalogue of small finds from specific areas of the United Kingdom Langport, Portcullis Publishing." The use of the acorn as a symbol (variously allegorical of virtues including independence, patience, modesty and chastity) is part of an early post medieval fashion for badges ultimately derived from medieval armorial charges (Maslin, 2021: 4).

The purse bar comprises a rectangular central block with a circular perforation running through the vertical axis. The front and back panels of the block are decorated with shallowly incised double banded transverse grooves. The block is flanked by moulded ridges, possibly zoomorphic as seen in Class A1, from which short circular sectioned bars extend terminating in rounded ends. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The purse bar is 60.2mm long, 15.3mm wide, 10.8mm thick and weighs 29.8g. Williams (2018) p.5 describes Class C as a varied series of very short bars with either shield-shaped or square (Class C1 (Ward Perkins’ Type B1) or rounded blocks (Class C2 (Ward Perkins’ Type B2)). The blocks on Class C1 bars are usually simply decorated. Ref: Williams, D. (2018) Copper-alloy Purse Components: A new classification using finds from England and Wales recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme. (FRG Datasheet 50). Sleaford: The Finds Research Group AD 700-1700.

SWYOR-D3608B: BUTTON
A post medieval cast copper alloy button dating to around AD 1600-1700. The button is circular and and domed with a convex front and concave back. The front has a design of a six-pointed star within the centre of which are three annulet stamps. Outside the star and between each of the points are stamped crescent shapes. These and the star are enclosed by a sub circular border made of a series of stamped circles. There is also an outer border of seven lobes, again made from overlapping stamped circles. The back of the button is plain and undecorated, containing an integral U-shaped shank drilled with a circular attachment hole. The piece has a grey green patina. Diameter 25mm, thickness (incuding loop) 7.9mm, weight 8.18g. There are many similar variations of this design on the database, but a similar example from the database is SOM-9F43CF. Read (2005: 39-47) illustrates a large group of similar buttons with convex fronts, concave back and integral drilled shanks. They have a range of decoration, mostly incised and punched, floral or geometric. Read (ibid:36) suggests they were fashionable in the mid to late 17th century and may have been used in pairs as cloak fasteners as well as buttons. Bailey (2004, 35) also illustrates similarly formed and decorated buttons particularly with star designs (e.g. fig 8.23) and also suggests a 17th century date.

WILT-D2AF18: AWL
An incomplete Bronze Age to Medieval copper alloy awl, dating to c.1250 BC-AD 1500. It is incomplete because there is a small early break at one end. It is a long slim oval in form, but slightly wider towards one end than the other, sub oval in cross section with flatter sides. One end is pointed, the other probably also originally pointed but now jagged at the break. Both flatter sides have a wide longitudinal groove which echoes the overall shape, more pronounced on one side than the other. Close to the break there is a chunk missing from the edge which may be a manufactured cut rather than a further break. Dimension: 39mm in length; 6.1mm in width; 4mm thick; 4.38g in weight A similar object is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database as IOW-DA8A9A. This record states that "awls are difficult to date but most are probably from the Late Bronze Age. They can be circular or square in cross section and are generally undecorated. They would have been used to make holes in leather or wood and probably were inserted into a handle made from organic materials. However, as a functional object the form of the awl barely changes from the Bronze Age to Medieval periods and a selection of broadly comparable awls are recorded in Ottaway and Rogers (2002). They note that although most awls are associated with leather working, some would have been used in woodworking, bone working and other crafts''. Ref: Ottaway, P. and Rogers, N., 2002.

LVPL-D284C9: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A lead object of uncertain date. The object is diamond in plan and D shaped in section. The face of the object is very rough, with eight semi-circular projections. The reverse is much smooth and has a d-shaped in section projection, that in plan looks like two conjoined circles, likely from casting. The object has a cream patina. It is likely that the object is casting waste however it could be a palm guard. Dimensions: Length 35.3mm, Width 27.8mm, Thickness 8.6mm, Weight 29.29g.

WILT-D28476: BROOCH
An incomplete Late Iron Age to Early Roman La Tene type III, Nauheim derivative, copper alloy brooch, dating to c AD 25-100. Mackreth ND,1.b. What remains is a sub rectangular strip of metal, now bent in two places, with a sub triangular catchplate, pincurl missing, and an integral coil at the head which is all that remains of the spring. Longitudinal parallel incised lines appear just below the coil and begin to come together towards the end of the bow. Dimensions: Length: 39.7 mm; Width: 3.4 mm; Weight: 1.55 g Ref: Mackreth (2011: 10) Plate 7, no. 3985. See SUR-406FC7 on the PAS database for a similar example.

SWYOR-D27F42: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A group of four lead unidentified artefacts, possibly weights, probably dating from the Post-medieval period, about AD 1500 - 1900. Three are cylindrical with flat bases, slightly domed tops, and slightly sloping, fluted sides; the fourth (number 1) is similar except that it is hexagonal rather than circular and has flat sides. None of the items carries any marks and none has a weight matching any regular weight system. It is possible that two are intended as 1 ounce weights and two as half ounce weights, but it is more likely that they are offcuts or leftovers. Individual dimensions and weights are as follows. 1. Hexagonal with flat faces: diameter 17.9mm; height 10.0mm; weight 24.03g. 2. circular with fluted sides : diameter 17.1mm; height 7.1mm, weight 28.48g. 3. circular with fluted sides : diameter 16.5mm; height 7.0mm; weight 17.33g. 4. circular with fluted sides : diameter16.6mm; height 7.0mm; weight 16.29g.

LVPL-D27213: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A lead object of uncertain date. The object is trapezoidal in plan and rectangular in section. The face of the object is very rough, with multiple protrusions and ridges.

It is 20.4mm in diameter and 0.4mm thick. It weighs 1.4g. Reference: North (1991, volume 1, page 217, number 960. The coin is cracked.

YORYM-D249AE: HOOKED TAG
An incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of Early Medieval date, c.AD 650 - 1150. Reads Class A, Type 1. The main plate of the hooked tag is sub-triangular with rounded corners and an engrailed upper edge. Two circular perforations are present to the upper edge, one in each corner, which would have acted as attachment holes. A break is present at the corner of one perforation. An integral rectangular sectioned hook extends from the narrow end of the main plate, curving round to form a U-shape and terminating in a worn point. Four ring and dot motifs are present on the upper surface of the plate. The reverse is undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The hooked tag is 24.6mm long, 13.5mm wide, 0.9mm thick and weighs 1.2g. Similar examples are illustrated in Read (2008) p.9. These are classified as Class A, Type 1 which Read suggests date from the 7th to early 12th century. The function (or functions) of hooked tags is uncertain. They are small, with a plate and a sharp hook which bends to the rear. What they were stitched to or hooked into is uncertain. They may have hooked into holes in textile or leather, perhaps rather like a buttonhole. Ref: Flynn, T.

WILT-D248C7: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete possibly Roman copper alloy three dimensional zoomorphic item, of uncertain purpose, possibly a mount, possibly dating to c. AD 43-410. What remains is in the form of a dog's head, or similar. The head is represented in a simple way, rising from an oval section neck, initially widening into two triangular pricked ears, with slight forward curl at the top, then narrowing into a pointed muzzle with a knop for a turned up nose. There appears to have been an effort to suggest nostrils under the nose by including two small pits, with possibly a similar attempt to suggest eyes above the muzzle but this is uncertain. The lower jaw is not depicted at all, instead an elongated tongue projects from below the muzzle. The tongue is D shaped in cross section with the flatter surface at the top, tapering towards a triangular cross section, still with flat surface at the top but widening from top to bottom, ending in a pointed knop. It is bent upwards about half way along its length. It is unclear whether it was manufactured this way, or is damaged.The surface, mostly pale green and crusty, shows white-ish patches, notably under the nose where the junction of tongue and muzzle has been accentuated with what is probably a filed groove, and on the back of the head. Here there is an incuse pointed oval area, either intended to suggest shape, or perhaps a fault in the manufacture. Below this is a transverse band in very light relief indicating the end of the head above a widening which appears to be the top of a conical or cylindrical socket. There is an early break here, with evidence of iron corrosion, and possibly lead filler. Dimensions: 31.8mm in length (including tongue); 13.7mm in width (across the ears); 7.4mm diameter at break (top of socket); tongue c10.5mm in length, c1.7mm in width; 3.66g in weight See NMS-D42B2D for a detailed record of a similar item. Note that the Wiltshire find is smaller and much more lightweight, and whatever its function it would not have withstood much strain. In the description of NMS-D42B2D it is suggested that the 'tongue' may be prey being eaten and that could be the case here, too. The point on the outer end of the tongue in this example could well be a fish tail or similar, being swallowed, certainly too long for a normal tongue. There may be decoration or other markings on the item but if so they will be obscured by the state of the surface. The dog statue from the Gloucestershire Roman founder's hoard (GLO-BE1187) also has some stylistic similarities. A number of Roman finds have been made nearby to this Wiltshire find.

SWYOR-D231AA: SPINDLE WHORL
A bi-convex, decorated lead spindle whorl dating from the Medieval or early Post Medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1550. The two faces are not symmetrical. One is domed, and the other is more shallowly convex with a median band between. It is decorated in relief. The design consists of a series of chevrons forming a six pointed star round the central hole. Each point contains a raised petal shape. There is a large pellet in each external angle. On the shallower face is a ring of raised pellets. There is also a post depositional gash in the lead. The whorl is 24.7mm in diameter and 11.8mm thick with a central perforation of internal diameter 9.4mm. It weighs 36.37g. The size of the central perforation suggest a date ater than AD 850. Form C2 whorls are suggested to date from 1100 onwards, while Walton Rogers quotes Ivens et al (1995) that those decorated with dots are Post Medieval. Standley (2016) suggests that decorated lead whorls date from the 13th - early 16th centuries.

SWYOR-D1F38A: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified, copper alloy artefact, of uncertain date, probably Post Medieval but possibly Roman onwards. The object is a rod of metal that undulates in thickness. It is probably broken at both ends. The object is decorated with a series of longitudinal grooves as it widens out. and then tapers. These give the appearance of moulded hair, raising the possibility that it is part of a figurine of an animal. The moulding could also be intended to represent wood, perhaps part of a decorative object moulded to look like a branch. At the wider end, the cross-section is more triangular, and a ridge along one face, could be interpreted as the remains of a brooch catchplate. The artefact has a dark brown or grey patina and the condition of the metal is more suggestive of a Post Medieval date. It is 42.2mm long and 6.2mm in diameter. It weighs 6.7g. It could be part of a figurine or perhaps a furniture fitting such as an arched drawer handle.

This may account for metal legs being found in fields as the old legs may have been discarded when being replaced. For other ribbed vessel legs see Butler, Green and Payne (2009: 6). This shape matches fig 4a which was in use from the medieval period into the 17th century.

WAW-BB5A48: WEIGHT
A lead weight of unknown date, possibly Medieval to Post Medieval (c. AD 1100-1800). The weight is circular in plan and discoid, with a smooth front and a raised rim around the outer edge on the reverse. There is no other decoration on the object. The object has a largely light grey patina, with some cream patches, which would suggest a more recent date. The weight is 25.43g, which is close to both a Roman uncia (27.4g or 1/12 of a Roman pound) and an Avoirdupois ounce (28.35g). Dimensions. Diameter: 34.39mm. Thickness: 3.75mm. Weight: 25.43g.

It has a diameter of 24.81mm and is 9.06mm thick. There is no visible decoration on the top of the object and it has a largely creamy patina with some light grey sections. The object is likely a whorl due to there being a pierced central circular aperture (8.08mm diameter at top, 7.98mm diameter at bottom). Dimensions. Diameter: 24.81mm. Thickness: 9.06mm. Weight: 22.85g.

WAW-94D76D: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy conical spindle whorl of likely Medieval date (AD 1100-1500). The weight is roughly circular in plan and domed in profile with a largely flat reverse. It has a diameter of 28.01mm and is 11.38mm thick with a central aperture that has a diameter of 9.36mm on the reverse and 8.37mm on the top. The object is quite worn, with there being evidence of a moulded circumferential zig zag design on the front with pellets in each triangular segment, which would mean that the object is likely Medieval in date - similar designs can be seen on biconical spindle whorls such as LIN-BBD61A and WMID-A16335, both of which date to the period AD 1100-1500. The object has a largely light grey patina. Dimensions. Diameter: 28.01mm. Thickness: 11.38mm. Weight: 48.56g.

NARC-80D1F9: BROOCH
A fragment of a copper alloy Brooch of Roman date (AD 43-75). The object is of Hod Hill type. The object is composed of the incomplete head, wings and bow, the upper portion of the head, pin, spring, lower portion of the bow and foot are missing due to old, abraded breaks. The bow is rectangular and arched and is decorated with a central raised rectangular panel with a recessed panel around, from the right-hand edge extends an arm composed of three, double, moulded collars with narrowed plates between, and terminating in an expanded sub-rectangular terminal. The left-hand arm terminates at a break after the second collar. From the upper edge of the plate extends a single and two double collars with narrowed plate between, it terminates in an expanded rectangular plate from which terminates in an upper abraded break. The back of the central panel is concave. Length: 27.82mm, Width: 31.65mm, Thickness: 3.14mm, Weight: 5.8g The metal is brown in colour with a pitted patina. The ridged decoration on the upper section of the bow suggests that the brooch is of the Hod Hill type. It may be classes as a "Type f" form (Bayley & Butcher 2004, 78). Bayley & Butcher (2004, 153) suggest this form came to Britain during the conquest period. A near identical example is illustrated by MacKreth (2011, 96, Pl. 93, Nos 9169-9274). Similar examples in Hattatt (2000, 322-3, nos. 848 and 326), dated to the 1st century AD, and other examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: BH-E1023A and OXON-BBEEC6

NARC-80BED4: PURSE
A complete copper-alloy purse bar of late Medieval or early post-Medieval date (AD 1450-1550). Williams Class A1. The object consists of the frame of two circular-sectioned arms extending from a rounded mid-section boss which is perforated vertically through its centre to hold the shanked loop or swivel. The boss is decorated an incised, abraded linear motif. The loop is held in place by a hemispherical knop at the lower end, from which a narrowed circular sectioned shaft extends running through the boss, the loop then expands into a large ovate loop with a collar between. Expanding from either side of the boss is a zoomorphic moulding, the jaws of which clasp the integral circular-sectioned arms. A rounded rectangular plate projects from the lower edge of the outer sides of the arm, each of which has two circular perforations. Above the plate the arms are decorated with incised, circumferential lines, at either end of the decorative panel. Between these lines is incised double line lattice decoration. The arms terminate in a narrowed circular shaft, with an expanded rounded knop retained on the right-hand side which is decorated with three incised circumferential lines. Height: 59.33mm, Width: 152.12mm, Thickness: 13.71mm, Weight: 74.8g The metal is dark green in colour with a predominantly smooth patina. There are minor amounts of niello retained within aspects of the incised motifs. This purse bar can be placed in Williams' Class A1 'Long bar with attached frame' (Finds Research Group, Datasheet 50) and those with niello inlaid decoration are believed to be at the earlier end of the range and pre-date c.1500 (1940, 163). Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: FAKL-A8A01A, BERK-87D436, DEV-BF5F8F, KENT-F82AC4, SOM-1C9C43, PUBLIC-E00476, WILT-4E3345, OXON-C92CA2 and BUC-859A9D.

ESS-80B173: BROOCH
An incomplete and worn cast copper-alloy brooch (Harlow) of Roman date (AD 50-80). Description: The brooch has a half-cylindrical head with double-pierced lug in which the external cord of the spring and axis bar are held. The spring is missing on the left side and on the right, it coils around the axis bar twice before breaking, possibly where the pin started. The top lug is rounded and there is a gap between this and where the relatively flat crest emerges and continues over the curve of the bow. The bow on either side of the crest is concave and each side extends into pronounced ridges, although these are now worn down. The inner ridges merge with the central crest approximately one quarter of the way down the bow, while the outer ridges extend to the foot. The remainder of the bow is decorated with incised criss-crossing. The bow narrows from the head to the transverse foot. On the reverse of the foot the catchplate projects out 12mm. The catchplate is triangular in shape with a triangular perforation. The lip which would have held the pin is mostly intact. The brooch has a medium green patina and is slightly misshapen. Measurements: length: 68.9mm; width: 24.4mm; thickness: 14mm; weight: 13.91g

NARC-80A42E: MOUNT
A complete copper alloy Figurative Mount of Medieval date (AD 1150-1250). The object is a Limoges figurine. The object is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The head of the figure is solid and sub-spherical, on top of a sub-rectangular neck, with blue glass beads for eyes and a triangular protruding nose. The mouth is indicated by in incised U shape. The hair is indicated by a circumferential groove at within the upper portion of the head. The front of the mount depicts a robed figure. The figure is decorated with a central upper raised rectangular cell, flanked by triangular cells, indicating the sleeves of a robe. The rectangular cell has a circular perforation through it, below which is a diagonal rectangular cell, indicating a book of the Gospel. The centre of the lower portion has a circular perforation, above which is a raised rectangular cell running longitudinally. The lower left-hand side is decorated with three longitudinal ridges, indicating folds in the robe, while the right-hand side has a further two ridges/folds. There is a flattened rectangular projection within the middle of the left-hand edge, this is a distortion of the outer edge which would originally have over hung the lower portion slightly such as in: SUSS-93ACA8 and DOR-1D196B. The back of the object is concave and undecorated. No enamel is retained within the cells. The metal is dark brown in colour with a pitted patina. A minor amount of gilding retained within the recessed portion of the neck of the figurine. Length: 67.37mm, Width: 21.44mm, Thickness: 9.14mm, Weight: 14.2g Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: LEIC-3E2F66, NARC-2C773E, BH-AB1036 and WMID-777CAD.

GLO-808DDE: STRAP END
A heavily corroded copper-alloy strap end of Early-Medieval date, c.AD 900 - 1100. Thomas' Class E, Type 1 with inhabited foliate design. Winchester-style. The strapend is tongue-shaped with a series of openwork holes predominantly consisting of two rows running down the middle, with a smaller grouping on either sides that would help to emphasise the foliate decoration that would have covered the whole of the strap end but is now obscured by corrosion. There is a slot at the rear of the strapend to insert the belt which is held in place by four copper alloy riverts, all four rivets are retained although equally heavily corroded. This example broadly fits into Thomas class E, type 1, of late Anglo-Saxon Winchester style decoration characterised by scrolling foliage and sometimes confronting pairs of animals. This style of decoration derives from the "inhabited plant-scroll" motif seen in contemporary illuminated manuscripts. (Thomas (2009: 2). Other Class E type 1 examples recorded on the database include: SUSS-90188B, OXON-6499E4; NMS-710B5B and NMS-910152.

WMID-808D11: COIN

ESS-807BE0: AWL
A near complete cast copper-alloy awl of probable of Bronze Age date (c.1600-800 cal BC). Description: The object is hexagonal in cross section, slightly thicker at approximatley two thirds along its length. From here, the awl bends at an approximate 20 degree angle. Both ends are pointed. It has a light green and brown patchy patina. Measurements: length: 58.2mm; width and thickness: 4.5mm; weight: 4.94g Discussion: Awls were a range of rod-like tools that were usually round sectioned and pointed at one end, and rectangular sectioned with a square or chiselled edge at the other (Rowlands 1976 48). Referred to as "pointed punches" by Coles (1963-64 117). They were presumably used for perforating leather, but it was once suggested that they were used for tattooing human skin. Plain awls are difficult to date but most are probably from the Late Bronze Age. They are generally considered to be Later Bronze Age in date (c.1600-800 cal BC) however, as a functional object the form of the awl barely changes from the Bronze Age to Medieval periods and a selection of broadly comparable awls are recorded in Ottaway and Rogers (2002). Similar examples on the PAS database are numerous and include SUR-398CA4, OXON-FC5735, PUBLIC-E1E3A8 and DOR-03E430

A late Medieval to early Post-Medieval bone rosary bead dating from AD 1450-1550. The bead is a memento mori type with a forward facing male head and on the other side a skull to ‘remember thy mortality’. The male figure is bearded and probably depicts the Head of Christ. The bead is pierced vertically with a central perforation for suspension on a rosary. After Queen Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603) was formally excommunicated by Pope Pius V legislation was passed in 1571 to finally outlaw rosaries in England. Dimensions: height: 15.03mm; width: 10.34mm; thickness: 12.29mm; weight: 1.61g Another similar rosary bead on the database from the Thames foreshore is LON-78B66F. Border Archaeology write "While rosaries may have been introduced into England as early as the 11th century, the wearing of rosaries had become fashionable by the 13th century, before declining following the Protestant Reformation in the mid-16th century. Similar ‘memento mori’ rosary beads, dating from the early-16th century, have been identified in London, and from examples of German, French and Flemish origins." Netzer and Reinburg (2000:22) write "These Janus-faced ivory carvings show on one side the lively portrait of a young person, male and female respectively, contrasting sharply with the grinning, worm-eaten skull on the other side. Unusually large and pierced vertically for suspension, they were used as the primary beads on a rosary. There arc considerable signs of wear and tear, especially on the noses. The theme of death in the form of a gruesome skull appears frequently in sixteenth century art in northern France and Flanders. Memento mori allegories are meant as warning reminders that life is transitory, that man is mortal, and all earthly goods are of no avail." Reference: Egan, G. 2005.
