Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior of the sherd has a row of circular impressions running horizontally just below the upper edge of the sherd, that seem to be decoration and not where inclusions have eroded out of the matrix. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and dark brown on the interior of the sherd. This type of decoration is seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). Anna Brindley…

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior of the sherd has one circular impression which may be decoration and not where a large inclusion has eroded out of the matrix. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite, mica and quartz and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This type of decoration is seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). Anna Brindley in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates a similarly decor…

Record ID: SUSS-228097
Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy plate brooch. The brooch is constructed from a lozenge-shaped, wavy-edged, plate measuring 15.9mm long, 30.5mm wide and 1.1mm thick. Along one side much of the plate is missing, probably due to post-depositional damage. Inset from the wavy-edge, and parallel with it, is a raised lozengiform (14.9mm across by 26mm long) centre-piece with a rimmed border. Contained within the central cell are the remains of red and white enamel insets, but insufficient remains to enable the original design to be discerned. On the reverse of the brooch…

Object type: PILGRIM BADGE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast, lead-alloy, probable pilgrim badge of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. The object consists of a vertical, sub-triangular section joined, at its lower and wider edge, to an integrally-cast, openwork circle. Only half of the circle remains, the remainder having been broken off and lost. The vertical section continues through the centre of the circle and has a moulded human figure, in relief, on it's front face. The figure appears to be of a robed man or woman with hands clasped in front of them. This could, possibly, represent a monk or nun at prayer or, possibly, a saint. The …

Object type: PIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy pin of uncertain date. It is bent, and currently in an L shape, with the shorter arm curving out at the end. The object is circular in section, and slowly expands towards the end that is bent. It is mostly light green in colour, with small patches of red. In its current state, it measures 51.52 mm L x 2.88 mm DIA (at its thickest point) and weighs 2.59 g. It is possible that this pin is a brooch pin, but remains uncertain.

An incomplete cast copper alloy projectile point, probably a javelin dating to the Bronze Age. All the survives is the tip and a small portion of the body. The fragment is sub-triangular in plan, and circular with rectangular projections in section. The round portion creates a visible round ridge down the centre of the point; this section is filled with a secondary hard black material, which has medium sized inclusions within it, and some red iron corrosion at the edge of the break. It is in good condition, with a dark green patina. It measures 37.82 mm L x 10.92 mm W x 5.40 m…
