Object type: OYSTER SHELL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of shell, probably oyster, measuring 52.06mm in length, 47.79mm in width and 3.23 in thickness. The shell is mostly complete with the edges and a small portion of the bottom absent. The breaks are not recent. It is good, stable condition, although the upper layers of the outer surface are missing. There is no alteration made to the shell and so it is very hard to date. Thus, the shell probably dates between AD 43 and 1900. See find SWYOR-80D882 for another example.

Object type: OYSTER SHELL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete piece of probably oyster shell. It measures 31.24mm wide, 46.05 long and 3.81mm deep and weighing 8.43 grams. The shell is broken on three sides, with the right and left sides broken almost perfectly vertically, although this may be a natural occurrence. None of the breaks appear to be recent. The shell is in fair condition, and it is not flaking, although the upper layers of the outer surface are missing and appear to have flaked off in the past. Shell is difficult to date and as such a date of AD 43 to 1900 is assigned. See find SWYOR-80D882 for another example.
