A cast copper-alloy object, probably a perfume flask or bottle of Medieval or later date. It is in two joining fragments due to post-depositional damage. The vessel is hollow cast and in the form of a parrot, with remains of a blackened substance probably resultant from the casting process visible in the hollow tail end. The parrot has relatively neat decoration highlighetd through incised lines and punched dots. Its head is oval shaped in form with projecting sub-triangular crest with incised central grooves and notched edges representing feathers. It has a circular eye with semi-c…

An undatable but probably Late Iron Age/ Roman (100 BC - AD 410) copper alloy ring or bead, measuring 11.58mm in diameter (internal 5.58mm) and weighing 2.40g. It is max.7.63mm wide, min.5.90mm. The object is D-shaped in cross-section, being flat to the inside surface, and with a c.1mm wide beaded flange on each edge. Where this is narrowest (diametrically opposed to where it is widest) one flange is slightly damaged.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Group of melted silver objects and an old button or weight (listed separately). The silver objects (2-5) were found encased in melted plastic box (1) & associated with other burnt objects as well as the button. It is worth noting that local tradition has it that there was a fire at a nearby hall. It is likely that this material was dumped while clearing up after the fire. None of the silver objects can be identified with any surety. However there appears to be a late Roman coin fused to one of the lumps of silver (5). It is not unreasonable to assume it was a coin attached to a silver…

Opaque turquoise blue glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is oval in plan and circular in section with slight rims around the holes. It has a rough sided hole c.2.4mm in diameter running though it. It is 8.9mm long and 9.2mm in diameter and weighs 0.89 grams. Irregularity in the shape and a spiralling grain suggest it was made by being wound on a pontil. Although turquoise blue beads were popular in the Roman and Early Medieval period, those examples are usually more globular, distinctly wider in diameter than they are long. Guido (1978:70) comments that stray examples of such be…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle (probably), possibly dating to the Roman period although it could date to the Medieval period. The object consists of a rounded corner of the frame, the bottom of which swells outwards before narrowing to a double banded moulded constriction. The reverse of the object is slightly concaved, and there is no decoration anywhere on the object. The object is broadly similar to some zoomorphic buckles of the late Roman period (Hawkes & dunning 1961), but no direct comparison could be made, hence the uncertainty of date.

A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy fragment of an unidentified object of uncertain date, probably Bronze Age-Medieval (c. 2150-1499 AD). The fragment is roughly D-shaped in plan, and broadly T-shaped in cross-section; the surface of the fragment is flanged, almost similar to a Bronze Age palstave. A small sub-triangular shaped divet is positioned near the upper portion of the T-shaped cross-section, which could be a casting bubble. The patina of the fragment is of a deep even green and similar to objects dating from the Bronze Age - Medieval period. It is possible that this frag…

A cast lead spindle whorl or possibly weight. It has a slightly domed top and flat base with a tapering circular hole running through it, slightly off centre. It is 29.8mm in diameter, 8.2mm thick and weights 35.57g, the hole is 7.6mm in diameter at the base, 6.8mm at the top. Plain spindle whorls and weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards and are hard to date precisely although most are late Medieval - Post Medieval.

White metal, possibly lead alloy or silver, possible coin. Oval flan with no discernible design on either side, though both surfaces have a pelleted appearance overall. Possibilities may range from a copy radiate or nummus of Roman date, through to a modern forgery of an Anglo-Saxon or Celtic coin. Suggested date: Unknown, 260-2000. Cliff Reeves kindly examined this coin, opining it is unlikely to be Roman. One edge is chipped, revealing grey metal. Probably heavily cleaned. Diameter: 11.7mm, Weight: 0.90gms.

A small copper alloy harness ring which probably dates from the medieval or post medieval period (Geake 2001). Very functional objects like this are difficult to date since their design does not change. It is circular in shape, with hexagonal section. There is no visible wear, and there are file marks. For a similar example see SWYOR-8F2123.The patina is grey suggesting a high tin content.

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
TREASURE CASE : 2012 T431 A small lump of gold of uncertain date. The object is sub-circular in plan with a D-shaped section and smooth rounded edges. It is likely to be casting waste. Date: Unknown Dimensions: Diameter: 14.4mm; Thickness: 4.4mm; Weight 5.3g. Discussion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find, and despite it containing a minimum of 10% precious metal, it cannot be securely dated to pre-1712 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
