CORN-8299F6: POT SHERD
Pottery rim sherd of a large storage jar, with an inside diameter of about 280 mm and an outside diameter of about 340 mm. The rim is 'complex' with a finger-impressed 'pie-crust' pattern along the upper edge of the everted outer rim or flange. The sherd is a light brown colour throughout and the underside has been black-coated. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. Similar storage jars have been found at other sites in Penwith, such as Porthmeor, Porth Godrevy and Reawla, which date from the Romano-British period, from the 3rd to the 4th century AD. Quinnell (2004) illustrates an example of a large storage jar from Trethurgy, with a similar pattern on its rim, on page 120, Fig.58, No.102, which dates from the 3rd to the 4th century AD. Carlyon (1985) illustrates a similar example of a rim with finger impressions from a large vessel found at Porthmeor, in Penwith, on page 13, Group 7, No.Pm38, which probably dates from the later period of the site's occupation, c.3rd-4th century AD.

CORN-828E53: VESSEL
Pottery rim sherd from a bowl with a 'Cornish flanged' (Quinnell, 2004, p.124) rim. The flange below the rim is pointed and horizontal, but damaged, and angled at about 90 degrees from the body of the bowl. Above and below the flange are recessed grooves which help to define the flange from the body of the bowl. The fabric is is a light browny grey colour throughout and contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. The exterior surface looks as if it was originally black-coated, now mostly worn off, and then burnished. Romano-British, 3rd-4th century AD Carlyon (1985) illustrates a similar example on page 33, in her Group 39d, No.CW 52 from Carwarthen, which dates from the 3rd to 4th century AD. Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example from Trethurgy on page 122, Fig.59, No.130, which is dated to c.AD 210-400.

CORN-828078: POT SHERD
Pottery body sherd of a Dressel type amphora (Carl Thorpe pers comm). The sherd is made up of a hard rough fabric, orange in colour throughout, with small mica and dark grey-coloured augite inclusions, and large chunks of quartz. Quinnell (2004) refers to sherds of Dressel Type 1-4 from Trethurgy on page 101, but these are not illustrated but dated from the Late Iron Age to the Roman period. Late Iron Age to Romano-British period c. 1st century BC to 2nd century AD

CORN-8272B1: POT
Pottery cordoned body sherd of a round-bodied jar with two parallel cordons on the side of the vessel as it curves towards the rim. The upper cordon is about 6 mm thick and the lower one about 8 mm thick. The fabric is a uniform orange to light brown colour throughout, with an oxidised exterior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture and there are incised lines above and below the moulded cordons, helping to define them. It is well made and high fired, which suggests that it is Late Iron Age to early Romano-British period in date, circa 1st century BC to 1st century AD. Christie (1978) illustrates a similar example from Carn Euny, Sancreed on page 421, Fig.62, No.18, which is dated from the 1st century BC. Saunders and Harris (CAJ No.21, 1982) illustrate a similar example from Castle Gotha, St. Austell, on page 137, Fig.13, No.35, which is dated to the 1st century AD.

CORN-8261B6: POT SHERD
Pottery body sherd decorated with a single impressed twisted cord in two lines, with one line running horizontally, parallel to the rim, and the other obliquely at about a 45 degree angle. The surface and core of the sherd have been oxidised to an orangey brown colour. The interior surface of the sherd has been wiped, and there is the impression of the textile used on the surface, probably before reaching the 'leather-hard' stage while drying, in order to remove surface condensation. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica, white feldspar, and grey augite inclusions, which are typical of the gabbroic clay that is found on the Lizard in Cornwall and used extensively during this period. The style of the decoration makes this sherd comparable to Trevisker ware sherds excavated from the Bronze Age settlement site at Trethellan Farm, Newquay, reported on in Cornish Archaeology No.30 (1991), page 109, Fig.40, No.1, which date it to the Middle Bronze Age c.1500-1150 BC.

WAW-7EF8D6: COIN
Roman coin: nummus of the House of Constantine. GLORIA EXERCITVS - 'The glory of the army' reverse, minted between 330 and 341 in an unknown mint.

CORN-7EF303: POT SHERD
Pottery rim sherd of Southwest Decorated ware with internal groove, on the top of the rim, and external impressed dashed line, below the rim, helping to define it. The surface and core of the sherd has been oxidised to a light brown colour. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture and a few patches of carbonised material remain on the exterior, just below the rim. The fabric looks, from macroscopic analysis, to be gabbroic, as it has inclusions of mica, white felspar and a dark grey mineral which could be augite. Gabbroic clay, sourced on the Lizard, was extensively used during the Iron Age in Cornwall. Iron Age in form, as it is well made and high fired. Christie (1978) illustrates a similar example from Carn Euny on page 415, Fig.58, No.21, which is dated from the 3rd to the 1st century BC.

CORN-7EEE35: VESSEL
Group of seven undiagnostic pottery sherds, including three base sherds and one twisted everted rim sherd, probably all from jars. The surfaces and cores of the sherds have been oxidised to a light brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the exterior surfaces of most of the sherds. The fabric looks, from macroscopic analysis, to be gabbroic, as it has inclusions of mica, white felspar and a dark grey mineral which could be augite. Gabbroic clay, sourced on the Lizard, was extensively used during the Iron Age in Cornwall. Late Iron Age in date (Carl Thorpe pers comm).

WAW-7EEAB4: COIN
Roman coin: reduced weight silver siliqua of Constantius II (337-61), struck probably at Lyons or Arles, VOTIS XXX / MVLTIS XXXX, struck c. 355-61. The coin has a ragged flan and it is not possible to know if had been slightly clipped.

CORN-7EE6C5: POT SHERD
Group of sixteen undiagnostic pottery sherds, all body sherds. The surfaces and cores of the sherds have been oxidised to an orange to light brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the exterior surfaces of most of the sherds. A few sherds are also burnished. The fabric looks, from macroscopic analysis, to be gabbroic, as it has inclusions of mica, white felspar and a dark grey mineral which could be augite. Gabbroic clay, sourced on the Lizard, was extensively used from the Iron Age to the Post-Roman period in Cornwall. Late Iron Age to Post-Roman period in date (Carl Thorpe pers comm).

CORN-7EE1D8: VESSEL
Pottery bar-lug guard sherd of grass-marked ware. The curve of the raised guard was used to protect the bar behind and beneath it, and the rope attached to the bar, from the open fire that the pot was suspended over. The surface and core of the sherd has been oxidised to a light brown colour. The surface of the pot has a thick layer of carbonised material all over the exterior. The fabric looks, from macroscopic analysis, to be gabbroic, as it has inclusions of mica, white felspar and a dark grey mineral which could be augite. Gabbroic clay, sourced on the Lizard, carried on being used during the post-Roman period and into the Early Medieval period in Cornwall. Hutchinson (in CAJ No.18, 1979) illustrates similar bar lug guards, as part of complete vessels from Hellesvean and Mawgan Porth, on page 87, Fig.42, Nos.1-2, which are dated from the 8th to the 11th century. 8th-12th century in date (Carl Thorpe pers comm).

CORN-7ED811: VESSEL
Pottery base sherd, possibly from a shallow platter, of grass-marked ware, with the impressions of grass or chaff clearly visible on the base of the sherd. The surface and core of the sherd has been oxidised to a light brown colour. The surface of the pot has a thick layer of carbonised material on the exterior, just above the base. The fabric looks, from macroscopic analysis, to be gabbroic, as it has inclusions of mica, white felspar and a dark grey mineral which could be augite. Gabbroic clay, sourced on the Lizard, carried on being used during the post-Roman period and into the Early Medieval period in Cornwall. George Smith (in CAJ No.19, 1980) illustrates a similar platter on page 46, Fig.18, No.51, which is dated to the post-Roman period, from about the 8th to the 11th century. 8th-12th century in date (Carl Thorpe pers comm).

CORN-7EA0E4: POT SHERD
Pottery base sherd with part of the body of the vessel remaining, suggesting from its curvature and angle that it came from a shallow bowl. Without the rim it is difficult to classify and date. The surface and core of the sherd have been reduced to a dark brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the interior surface of the sherd. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica and a lot of crushed quartz inclusions, which is typical of the granitic clay used during the Romano-British period in Cornwall. This style of bowl was found at the Romano-British settlement of Trethurgy, St. Austell, and is illustrated in Quinnell (2004) on page 122, Fig.59, No.112, which is dated from the 3rd to 4th century AD.

WAW-7E58B0: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy buckle plate. The plate is sub-rectangular in plan, with one long edge having a central rectangular slot and off-set sides. This edge may have originally formed a fold over the strap bar and the slot was to allow the pin to move on the strap bar. The terminals of the edges on this portion of the plate are abraded and slightly curled. Along the opposite edge there are three rivet holes which have been pierced through to the reverse. The upper portion of the plate is decorated with a pair of indented pellets beneath the curled edge. The upper surface also has traces of gilding. The reverse of the plate is undecorated. The surface of the plate is slightly abraded, and has an incomplete mid green patina. The plate measures 22.39mm long and 28.96mm wide. It weighs 5g. The plate probably dates to the Medieval period, perhaps the 13th to 14th centuries.

WAW-7E1102: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy mount. The reverse of the mount is flat, whereas the upper surface has rounded edges. The mount has three integral components; a rectangular portion which has one broken narrow edge. This broken edge has the remains of a rivet hole in the centre. The break is not recent. The opposite terminal has an integral knop at either side and there is then a drop shaped component. This drop shape has a central rivet hole and terminates with a larger knop, the third component. The surface of the mount is slightly abraded and has an incomplete matte mid green patina. The mount measures 36.59mm long and 13.51mm wide across the loop. It weighs 3.4g. The mount is likely to have decorated a casket rather than a strap. Strap mounts usually have integral studs on the reverse rather than rivets. The shape and condition of the metalwork suggests a Post Medieval date.

WAW-7D9DA2: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy double looped pointed oval shaped buckle. In plan the buckle is a sub-oval and in profile it is flat. The frame is decorated with a circular perforation either end of the strap bar and at the apex of each loop. The edges of the frame are scalloped. The strap bar is narrowed, and trapezoidal in section. The pin is an elongated triangular which is curled around the strap bar. The surface of the frame and pin have a mid grey/green patina. The frame is broken, recently, into two pieces. The buckle measures 42.9mm long and 27.68mm wide across the loop. It weighs 4.9g. Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) dates a similar buckle (No. 434) to c. 1550 and c. 1660.

WAW-7D86A1: COIN

WAW-7D6327: COIN
Roman coin: sesterius of an unknown Emperor, most common between the 50s AD and 260s, especially during the 2nd century.

WAW-7D2C85: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy double looped oval shaped buckle. In plan the buckle is a sub-oval and one loop has an integral sub-triangular moulded scallop on the outer edge of the apex. In profile the frame is flat. There is further decoration on each corner of the plain loop in the form of a knop on the outer edges. The strap bar is narrowed, and trapezoidal in section. The strap bar terminates with a simplistic spur. The pin is missing. The surface of the frame has is a mid red/brown patina. The buckle measures 39.34mm long and 20.41mm wide across the loop. It weighs 6.8g. Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) dates a similar buckle (No. 387) to c. 1550 and c. 1650.

WAW-7C8E61: COIN
Post Medieval coin: threepence of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) minted in London between 1578 and 1580. The date, 1582 on the reverse does not match the initial mark according to North, it only matches the sword initial mark.

WAW-7C0EC3: FIREARM
A cast copper alloy tailpipe from a ramrod holder fitted to a musket, pistol or similar gun of the 17th to mid 19th centuries. It would have been fixed under the stock of the gun in front of the trigger. Half of the object is tubular and this portion is circular in cross-section. The upper surface is decorated with two transverse ribs. The underside has an integral lug with a central rivet hole. One terminal of the tubular section is moulded and has a slightly bulbous terminal. The opposite terminal is obliquely angled and the upper portion continues, gradually tapering to a blunt point. This portion starts off being curved in section and as it tapers it becomes triangular instead. In profile this portion is slightly angled compared to the tubular portion. The surface has a mottled mid green patina. It measures 101.71mm long, 14.93mm wide and 15.55mm thick from the lug to the upper surface. It weighs 30.1g.

WAW-7B87F4: BOOK FITTING
A copper alloy book clasp, probably of Howsam type A.9.1. It is cast in one piece, but composed of three elements; a rectangular attachment end, an oval dome and a sub-triangular protrusion. The front of the rectangular attachment end has a raised edge on three sides; the fourth side is flat, allowing the strap to lie flat on this portion of the clasp. There is a central rivet hole along this edge to fix the strap in place. Integral to the opposite edge is the second element, the oval dome. This is only slightly domed, and has a central rivet hole. This hole would allow a peg fixed to the other cover of the book to be inserted, to hold the strap in place and keep the book closed. The third element is integral to the opposite edge of the dome from the rectangular attachment end, and is a slender sub-triangular protrusion with rounded edges. The upper surface is decorated with three wide ribs. The terminal has a circular hole through from side to side, probably to take a cord to help in pulling the clasp from the peg to open the book. The reverse of the clasp is undecorated and is flat. The surface of the clasp has a well developed mid to dark green patina. It measures 52.79mm long, 19.07mm wide and 6.25mm thick. It weighs 19.5g. The clasp would have been used in conjunction with leather straps to keep books closed when not in use. Egan (1998) illustrates similar clasps, for example No. 925, and comments that this clasp dates from the late 14th to early 15th century. Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate similar sized clasps, Nos. 15236 and 14641 in particular, and these were found in late 14th to 15th century contexts. Ottaway and Rogers comment that these types of mounts are found on ecclesiastical and secular sites (2002, 2937) but these types may be more associated with books related to ecclesiastical business (2002, 2939) even when discovered on secular sites. This example conforms to Howsam type A.9.1 except that the perforation runs all the way through the central element. It is odd in that the raised edge of the attachment end is on the front, and it may be missing an upper plate made from thin sheet. Such a plate is normally attached to the back, not the front, of an otherwise hollow attachment end (but see NMS-369AB8 for a similar construction). The 'hollow plate' type of book clasp, buckle or strap-end is generally dated to the very end of the 14th century or the 15th century, c. 1390-1500 AD.

WAW-7AF6E6: STRAP END
An early Medieval cast copper alloy strap end. The strap end is an elongated sub-trapezoid in plan. The side edges of the strap end are slightly convex. The narrowest terminal has moulded zoomorphic head with two prominent eyes formed by two circular cells and bordered by high relief crescents. The forehead has a decorated triangular panel. The body of the strap end is decorated with a ribbed border within which there is a single panel decorated with an abstract intertwining shapes. The lower terminal has a low-relief 'C' shape with two rivet holes in each corner. These each have a domed-headed rivet in place. In profile the strap end divides into to plates in the last quarter. In profile the strap end is bent at approximately the midpoint. The reverse of the strap end is undecorated. The surface of the strap end has a well developed dark green patina. The strap end measures 34.67mm long, 8.94mm wide and 3.31mm thick. It weighs 2.9g. The decorative panel may be of the Trewhiddle style, but this is not certain. Therefore the strap end is classed as either a Class A, Type 1 or 2 in Thomas's classification (Thomas, G. 2003 'Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age Strap Ends 750-1100: Part I' Finds Research Group AD 700-1700 Datasheet 32). Within this class Thomas describes Type 2 as being a diverse type which is at the cheaper end of the market. Designs may be geometric and curvilinear which the recorded example may be considered. These types of strap end date from the 9th to 10th centuries.

WAW-7A9418: COIN
Roman coin: prpbable sestertius of Maximus (AD 235-8), dating to AD 235-6 (Reece Period 11), PIETAS AVG S C, Priestly Implements. Mint of Rome. RIC IV, pt 2, p. p. 155, cf. no. 6; BMC VI, p. 232, cf. nos. 119-20. Although the coin is light at 14.3g, it has had circumferential loss. Furthermore, dupondii appear to be incredibly rare for Maximus - there are none in the BM collection.

GLO-C01342: SPUR
A cast copper alloy rowel spur fragment length 55mm, width 67mm. The fragment consists of the rowel box and part of both sides of the spur. The rowel box is short and circular in section, with a moulded collar. The rowel and bar are missing. The sides are D-shaped in section, terminated by breaks. The breaks are worn. The surface of the object is worn, and has a brownish-green patina. This spur dates to the late medieval to post medieval period. Date 1400-1700

GLO-C00872: HARNESS FITTING
Cast copper alloy terret ring length 30mm, width 32mm thickness 6mm. Circular in plan with a flat bar at the base, that bar is circular in cross-section and is flaked by two expanded collars. The frame of the terret is semicircular in cross-section with a concave underside. On the top inside edge of the frame is a circular cell. This cell is dished with a hole in the centre, the reverse has two concentric rings. This cell is decorative and would have held either enamel or a stone. Overall this piece has suffered heavily from corrosion resulting in a heavily pitted surface and damage to the extremities. Similar examples have been recorded on the database SUSS-6B9B31 and LVIP-3214A3. 300BC-100AD

GLO-BFEBF0: MOUNT
A copper alloy figurine in the form of a duck depicted as if on water. The bird has an oval base. There is a circular cross-section projection in the centre of the base, which may have used as an integral rivet. The top of the body is oval and domed. There is cast decoration which clearly depicts wings with bands representing feathers. The bird has a very short neck then a rounded head and a pointed beak. The metal is in good condition with an uneven dark patina. The object is 26mm long, 12mm wide and 16mm thick, weight 9.7g. It is unknown what this figurine was attached to, possibly from a vessel or a piece of furniture. Duck mounts are also known and are recorded on the PAS database, for example BERK-D903F2, NMS-80A7E1 and SWYOR-EDAEB6. This artefact dates to the roman period. Ducks and other water-birds “perhaps belong to a Celtic water-cult which also appears to have had associations with the sun and healing.” (Green 1978, 24).

YORYM-BD9D68: BARREL PADLOCK KEY
Copper alloy key for a barrel padlock. The object has shank that is rectangular in section, with a flat-sectioned area in the centre. The terminal shows signs of a broken loop for suspension. The head was probably once circular in plan (this disc being at a right angle to the shank; the head is now folded in half, leaving a semi-circle atop the shank. In Britain, the height of the popularity of barrel padlocks was c. 1300-1600

YORYM-BD3FE6: STRAP FITTING
Cast copper alloy snake form belt hook, including one cast copper alloy strap fitting with a lion's head. There are traces of gilding remaining on both segments of the object. The strap fitting has an oval-planned body, domed, with a moulded lion's head set in border of incised, slanting lines. There is a rectangular tag for attaching a strap to one side of the head. The other side has an integral loop, at a perpendicular angle to the face; one snake's head passes through this loop to form an anchor, the other head being the means of fastening and unfastening. The snake is double-headed, with a raised band around the centre. The heads are pointed, with eyes; there is a band of decoration to either side of the raised central band.

YORYM-BCFEB5: BROOCH
Copper alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. The object comprises a flat-sectioned disc with a wide central perforation. The disc is slightly convex, with the face having an incised - possibly turned - border around the diameter.

YORYM-BCF2C7: RING
Cast copper alloy, circular-sectioned ring. Due to the ambiguous nature of the object, a precise date or identified function is not possible. Such items have been used from prehistory to the modern era for a wide variety of uses, from agricultural functions to personal accessories.

YORYM-BC6437: BUCKLE
Crudely cast copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date. The object is a single-looped D-shaped buckle with an undecorated frame. The outer loop is thicker than the sides and bar. The pin is intact.

SWYOR-BB8D42: FINGER RING
A cast copper alloy finger ring, with a thin D-shaped section. The ring has a diameter of 22.3mm and is 4.9mm thick. The upper and lower borders of the finger ring are beaded and are stepped in. The main body of the ring is decorated with three sets of letters. The letter sets each seem to be nonsensical groups of lines, and two of the sets have a star at one end. This finger ring is similar to PAS database record numbers SUSS-3CFCF1, SUSS-3D2CD1, SUSS-9BAEF6 and SUSS-9BD050. These rings were made of gold and it is possible that this is a cheaper copy of a similar design. There are no markings on the interior of the finger ring. No joint is visible. The copper alloy is a dark jade-green colour. The edges are rather chipped. This ring probably dates from the late medieval to early post-medieval period, circa 1400-1600.

SWYOR-BB8535: BUTTON
A lead alloy button which probably dates from the late medieval period or early post medieval period. The button has a flat back and a domed front with a four petalled flower design in the centre. There is a rib across the back and a circular loop on a short stem. The button has a diameter of 12.9mm and is 15.2mm thick. For reference see Bailey, 2004, page 25. The button has a mid grey patina and is in good condition for a lead button.

YORYM-BB7210: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle dating from the Post-Medieval period. The object comprises a frame for a double-looped buckle; the central bar is missing. There are drilled holes for the bar in the frame sides. The outer loops are decorated each with a scroll motif.

SWYOR-BB7504: HOOKED TAG
An incomplete copper alloy hooked tag which is 24.4mm long, 14.9mm wide and 1.6mm thick at the hook. The tag has a rectangular loop at one end, a sub-rectangular openwork body decorated with a thistle motif, and the stub of a hook projecting at the other end. The tag is very worn, especially the rectangular loop. Hooked tags are believed to date from the late medieval and early post medieval period (Egan, 2005). A very similar example is number 153 on page 44 of "Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition" by Egan (2005).See also Read 2008 page 104 plate 402-3.

YORYM-BB3157: MOUNT
Two cast copper alloy bar mounts with central and terminal lobes. Each object has two separate rivets still attached, one in each terminal lobe. The central lobes of both mounts are decorated with incised cross-hatching; this survives more visibly on the longer of the two mounts. One mount measures 18.4mm in length, 19mm wide, 4.1mm thick and 1.73g. The other mount measures 21mm long, 8mm wide, 2.7mm thick and 1.42g.

YORYM-BB0102: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy annular brooch. The pin is missing. There is a recessed bar for the pin. There is no distinguishable decorative motif.

KENT-BB0303: BROOCH
Copper alloy English jetton that has been modified for re-use as a brooch. For the jetton see Mitchiner (1988, 107) no. 168 and Berry (1974, Pl. 2) no. 6, which are both similar but for some differences of detailing regarding the cross terminals and inner circles on the reverse.

SWYOR-BAAD98: KNIFE
A flint knife dating from the Neolithic period. It is 36.3mm long, 17.2mm long and 7.7mm thick. The left edge is retouched from both sides to form the knife blade. The flint is mottled and light grey, with some patination. There is a fresh break at the distal end.

SWYOR-BA9D32: RETOUCHED FLAKE
A flint retouched flake dating from the Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic period. The flake is 16.7mm long, 28.6mm wide and 7.3mm thick. It is sub-rectangular in plan and has been retouched along the distal end and sides. The retouch is very fine. The flint is mottled and mid grey in colour, and is slightly patinated.

SWYOR-BA92A3: BLADE
A group of four Mesolithic flint microlith blades. One blade is snapped. The longest is 29.3mm long. The flint is extensively patinated and is white in colour. The blades are not retouched, but there is possible edge damage. Similar objects are discussed in Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler from page 88.

SWYOR-BA8921: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A flint piercer dating from the Late Neolithic or the Early Bronze Age. It is 21.7mm long, 11.4mm wide and 2.3mm thick. The flake is roughly rectangular in plan and the distal end has been formed into a point on the right hand side. It is invasively worked with retouch on the distal end. Similar examples can be seen on page 168 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler. The flint is opaque and mottled dark grey and is hardly patinated.

GLO-BA85B6: STRAP END
Cast copper alloy strap end length 33mm, width 12mm, thickness 4.5mm, weight 5.09g. The split attachment end with a single rivet hole in the centre there is an iron rivet still in place. From the attachment end the first third of the object tapers to a width of 6mm The remaining two third is moulded in the form of an animal head, which gently tapers to the snout. There are ridges for the eyes and nostrils otherwise all decoration is obscured by corrosion. The underside is plain. The artefact is covered all over with green corrosion product which overlays dark red-brown metal. This is an early-medieval style of strap end and corresponds with Thomas Class B dating from the late 8th century to the end of the 11th century (Thomas 2003, 6). Gabor Thomas Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-age strap-ends 750-1100. Parts 1 and 2 Finds Research Group 700-1700, Datasets 32-33.

GLO-BA7C52: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle length 15mm, width 21mm, 4mm, thickness weight 3.61g. Narrowed strap bar (2mm diameter) which is flanked by two animal heads, the ears and nose are visible in relief. The forward edge of the buckle is considerably expanded and has an oval cross section (5mm wide, 4mm thick). the artefact is heavily corroded resulting in the loss of all of the detail and leaving a mid brown pitted surface. Buckles of this form are seen as eleventh century; see Griffiths, Philpot and Egan 2007, Pl. 8 Nos. 311-13 and AR Goodall, 1991, ('The copper alloy and gold' in P Armstrong, D Tomlinson and DH Evans Excavations at Lurk Lane Beverley, 1979-82, Sheffield, p148, Fig. 114, No. 583) where again a tenth or eleventh century date was suggested. Other examples are known from 11th- or 12th-century contexts in Norwich and Winchester (Margeson 1993, no. 127; Biddle 1990, no. 1110).

SWYOR-BA7DF6: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
A flint thumb nail scraper dating from the Late Neolithic or the Early Bronze Age. It is 26.4mm long, 23.6mm wide and 9.2mm thick. The scraper is sub-triangular in plan and is a tertiary flake. It is invasively worked with semi-abrupt retouch on the distal end. Similar examples can be seen on page 166 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler. The flint extensively patinated and is almost white.

SWYOR-BA6B84: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
A flint thumb nail scraper dating from the Late Neolithic or the Early Bronze Age. It is 21.2mm long, 17.1mm wide and 6mm thick. The scraper is oval in plan and is a primary flake. There is semi abrupt retouch on the distal end. Similar examples can be seen on page 166 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler. The flint is a glossy greyish brown and is hardly patinated.

SWYOR-BA5C52: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A flint piercer dating from the Late Neolithic or the Early Bronze Age. It is 26mm long, 19.6mm wide and 7.1mm thick. The flake is roughly triangular and the distal end has been formed into a point by removing a flake from the dorsal face and from the left distal end. There is abrupt retouch on the left dorsal edge. A similar example is number 1 on page 169 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler. The flint is mottled dark grey and is slightly patinated.

SWYOR-BA4BE7: RETOUCHED FLAKE
A flint retouched flake that was possibly used as a scraper, probably dating from the Neolithic Period. The flake is 31.2mm long, 24.9mm wide and 7.5mm thick. It is a tertiary flake with deep ripples from the striking and cortex on the dorsal side at the distal end. There is a simple striking platform. The dorsal face is worked laterally, and the right hand proximal edge and distal end are worked with pressure flaking. The flint is mottled and dark grey, and is slightly patinated.

SWYOR-BA3BA6: ARROWHEAD
A flint oblique arrowhead from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period. It is 30.7mm long, 17mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The tip is broken but the edge is retouched from both sides and the dorsal end is also retouched. A very similar example is number 4 on page 161 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler. The flint is a mottled light grey colour and has a slight patina.

SWYOR-BA2FC1: VESSEL
A ceramic vessel rim sherd probably from a medieval cooking vessel. The sherd is 40.6mm long, 25.6mm wide and 21.4mm thick. The rim is rounded and is little more than the end of the wall. It flares slightly. The sandy fabric has a light brown colour with sooting on the outer face and round the top. There are mica inclusions.

SWYOR-BA29A5: VESSEL
A ceramic vessel rim sherd probably dating from the Roman period. The sherd is 33mm long, 23mm wide and 7.7mm thick. It has an everted and rounded rim. The fabric is a sandy greyware which is a light grey colour with a slightly darker surface. There are large black and small white inclusions.

SWYOR-BA1AA0: VESSEL
A ceramic vessel rim sherd probably dating from the Roman period. The sherd is 82.1mm long, 25.4mm wide and 41.3mm thick. It has an everted and rounded rim. The fabric is a sandy greyware with a uniform light grey colour and large black and small white inclusions.

YORYM-B86A15: MOUNT
Cast copper alloy lozenge-shaped mount. There is a central perforation, possibly decorative or for a rivet. There are two worn, integral rivets on the reverse. The edges of the face are decorated with incised circles. The object is

SWYOR-B85DE2: COIN
A copper alloy Roman coin; a nummus of the House of Constantine, Gloria Exercitvs, one standard type (335 - 341). The edge of the coin is badly chipped. It has a diameter of 14.8mm and is 1.4mm thick. The legends are mainly illegible, but the mint mark suggests it was probably minted in Trier.

SWYOR-B848E3: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl. The whorl is bi-conical and has a central circular hole. It has a diameter of 25.8mm and is 13.2mm thick. Both faces are decorated with five radial raised lines with three raised pellets in each angle. The median rib is thickened. The whorl is in good condition with a creamy yellow patina. Decorated spindle whorls are very rare finds in excavations, but are often found by metal detectorists. They are usually biconical and are decorated on both faces with raised dots and radiating or zig-zag ribs. They have been found in ploughsoil over the site of Roman buildings, and in an excavated context dating from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century at an Austin Friary (Geake, 2001). It is thus very difficult to date decorated whorls, and it seems that they could have been in use at any time between the Roman and Late Medieval periods.

SWYOR-B829F1: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl. The whorl is sub-spherical and has a circular hole which is not central. It has a diameter of 19.7mm and is 15.5mm thick. The whorl is in good condition with a creamy yellow patina. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

SWYOR-B80524: TOY
Part of a lead alloy toy in the form of a two dimensional woman dating from the Post medieval period. Only the triangular skirt survives. It is a flat sheet of lead which is 36.1mm long, 35.7mm wide and 2.4mm thick. The front is decorated with a lattice work border. There is a faint lozenge pattern on the reverse. The break at the waist is patinated and one corned has been crumpled and straightened again more recently. A similar but more complete toy can be seen in the Finds Research Group datasheet number 10 by Geoff Egan (1988) and it is dated to the seventeenth century.

SWYOR-B7BDB5: COIN
A medieval silver coin; a penny of Edward I (1272 – 1307), class 4e (1282 – 1289). The coin has a diameter of 18.3mm and is 0.7mm thick. It weighs 1.2g. The coin was minted in London. For reference see North Volume 2, number 1027.

SWYOR-A849B4: WEIGHT
A copper alloy cup weight from the post medieval period. The cup has a diameter of 19.5mm at the top, sloping sides, and is 9.4mm thick. Most cup weights were designed to weigh gold and silver in the Troy weight system. The cups would stack together into a nest. This one is stamped inside with two marks, both of which appear to be a crude lion passant. It is believed that lion stamps were added by individual goldsmiths to give their weights an appearance of authority (Biggs 1998). This weight is 7.3g, roughly equal to one quarter of a troy ounce. It probably dates from the eighteenth century.

SWYOR-A83D62: WEIGHT
A lead alloy circular pan weight which has a diameter of 40.3mm, is 6mm thick and weighs 71.3g or 2 and a half ounces. There are no visible marks or stamps on the weight. Helen Geake writes: “It is very difficult to establish hard and fast rules with lead weights, as we have little material from excavated contexts to compare. The function of lead weights would have varied, from spindle whorls to fishing weights to trade weights.” Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as often as possible, a large body of data that can be studied will be built up.”

SWYOR-A83323: HOOKED TAG
A copper alloy hooked tag in two pieces which is 35.2mm long, 15.7mm wide and 10.3mm thick at the hook. The tag is complete, though relatively recently broken, and has a rectangular loop at one end, a cinquefoil body decorated with a rose and with a central circular hole, and a hook projecting at the other end. The top of the hook is openwork with an oval hole before a rounded collar links the two strands into the single hook. The hook is complete and has a sharp bend half way along. Hooked tags are believed to date from the late medieval and early post medieval period (Egan, 2005). See Read 2008 page 115 plate 467 for a similar design.

SWYOR-A82930: BROOCH
A copper alloy Roman headstud brooch which is 45.4mm long, 21.2mm wide and 19.5mm thick. The bow and wings are decorated with lozenge shaped cells of blue enamel with triangular cells of red enamel on either side. The headstud is missing, with just an oval depression and deeper hole for a peg on the bow. There is short and plain crest above the space for the headstud. The foot is circular and hollow, with a thick collar above it. It probably would have contained enamelled decoration to match the stud. There is a tubular housing behind the wings for the axis bar, and a hinged pin, most of which is missing. The catchplate survives. Headstud brooches are usually dated from 75 - 200 AD (Snape, 1993). The brooch has a mid brown and green patina and is in good condition.

ESS-A82166: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: contemporary copy of a nummus of Constantius II, dating 355-61AD, Reece period 18. Reverse type probably FEL TEMP REPARATIO. Die axis 4 o'clock. Diameter 11mm, weight 0.87 grams.

SWYOR-A81A01: STAMP
A lead alloy stamp or printing block from the post medieval period. The stamp is a sub-cuboid shape with rounded shoulders before a short and squared tang which is rectangular in section. It seems likely that the tang would have fitted into a handle of organic material. The object is 23.4mm long, 13.5mm wide and 8.6mm thick. The face bears a design in relief of a large tulip shaped flower with two leaves at the base of the stem. The design is too fine for the object to be a seal matrix, as it cannot leave a clear impression in wax. This suggests that it was used with ink instead. The stamp has a light grey patina which is very thin. A nineteenth century date seems most likely.

ESS-A80BD7: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: nummus of Constantius II, dating 324-30AD. Minted in Trier. Reverse type PROVIDENTIAE CAESS. Die axis 6 o'clock. Diameter 21mm, weight 2.67 grams. RIC VII p209 no 480.

SWYOR-A810C7: HARNESS FITTING
A copper alloy object which may be a delicate harness fitting. The object is a sub rectangular bar, 51.6mm long, 14.5mm wide and 8.7mm thick, one face of which is decorated with transverse raised bars which are triangular in section. One end is rounded, and the other end is broken but appears to have been a circular loop. Projecting from one side of the bar is a rectangular loop and another broken projection which may have extended into another loop. The other edge is extensively damaged but there are traces of symmetrical projections. The reverse is lumpy and the whole object appears to have been damaged by heat and maybe partially melted. There are traces of gilding on both faces, suggesting that the object must have been completed and decorated at some point. The function of this object is not certain, though the numerous loops suggest that it may have been some form of strap distributor, perhaps on a harness for a small animal such as a hawk or pet dog. The object shares some similarities with a possible Early Medieval harness fitting recorded on the database as SF-00F7E4, but the light green and brown patina and the other objects from this findspot suggest that a medieval date might be more likely for this object.

SWYOR-A80A17: BUCKLE
A copper alloy buckle frame that dates from the medieval period. The frame is rectangular with slightly convex sides. It is 17.8mm long and 17.8mm wide. The bar is recessed and offset and is worn at the edges where the plate hinges would have been. There are very slight ridges on the outside of the frame sides which run transversely across the frame, one at each end of each side. The frame is 4.2mm thick. The outer edge is thick and is decorated with four transverse grooves. The gap between the middle ones probably acted as the pin rest. The pin and the plate are missing and the frame has a grey/brown patina with very little corrosion. A close parallel to this buckle is number 437 on page 96 of “Dress Accessories” by Egan and Pritchard (1991). It dates from 1350 to 1400 and a similar date is likely for this example.

SWYOR-A7F837: BUCKLE
A copper alloy composite buckle with a forked spacer from the medieval period. The buckle is 28.1mm long, 21mm wide and 3.5mm thick. It has an oval loop with a slightly expanded outer edge, and a notch in the bar where the pin would fit. The pin and the plates are missing, leaving just the forked spacer visible. The frame may have been tinned originally. Similar buckles can be seen on page 36 and 37 of “Buckles” by Ross Whitehead (2003) and they are dated from between 1350 and 1450.

SWYOR-A7C083: WEIGHT
A lead alloy standing perforated weight. The weight is 24.8mm long, 12.3mm wide and 10.9mm thick. It has a rectangular base and tapers to a point at the top which is perforated by a circular hole. The weight leans to one side. This weight has a mass of 14.7g. It may be significant that it is not far off being half an ounce (Biggs and Withers, 2000). Helen Geake writes: “It is very difficult to establish hard and fast rules with lead weights, as we have little material from excavated contexts to compare. The function of lead weights would have varied, from spindle whorls to fishing weights to trade weights.” Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as often as possible, a large body of data that can be studied will be built up.”

SWYOR-A7A8A1: HARNESS PENDANT
A copper alloy shield shaped horse harness pendant from the medieval period. The pendant has a pointed base and curved sides with a flat top. It is 45.2mm long and 26.8mm wide. It is decorated with a diagonal line running from top left to bottom right (a bend) which appears to have been filled with blue enamel. There is a label with five points which is coloured with red enamel. “A label is a horizontal strip with short vertical descenders known as points, usually three. It almost always occurs near the top of the shield. The label has many forms and varies in the number of points, usually 3, 5 or 7. It is not commonly used as an independent charge, but most frequently appears as a mark of difference, especially for the eldest son of a family while the father is still alive. On the father’s death the son removes the label.” (http://www.apl385.com/gilling/hsubs.htm, page consulted 20/12/07). There are very slight traces of silvering on the pendant, suggesting the ground colour was argent. There is a circular projecting lug on the top of the shield in the centre with a circular hole through it from side to side. The lug is 6.7mm thick. The metal is light brown in colour with areas of pale green corrosion. Similar heraldic horse harness pendants can be seen in Cherry (1991) in Saunders (ed) Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum Medieval Catalogue Part 1. Harness pendants are generally dated from the twelfth to the fourteenth century, with circular and openwork examples predominating the twelfth century, more varied types in the thirteenth and fourteenth century including the enamelled and heraldic types more commonly (Griffiths, 1995, ‘The Medieval Horse and its Equipment’). It has not been possible to match this pendant to the arms of any known family, but without an identifying charge, it is possible that this design may have been used by many individuals.

NMGW-A67EA6: SPEARHEAD
Middle Bronze Age bronze socketed spearhead of Greenwell and Brewis (1909) Class IV side-looped (socket -looped) type, or Davis' (2012) Type 6C Developed side-looped, probably of Taunton-Penard metalworking phases, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 5, c. 1500 - 1150BC. The spearhead is incomplete and fragmentary, with a combined surviving length of 135.0mm and a combined weight of 39.6g. The lower of the three fragments would have been near the original socket rim and would have had a diameter of approximately 15mm. The sides of the socket are straight and converge towards the blade. The lower socket fragment was bent outwards prior to breaking. The loops have flat tops and begin 21.5mm from the current base, with lengths of 15.6mm and 17.0mm (3.3mm and 3.9mm internal). The casting flashes are evident on both sides and have been neatly finished. The blade is leaf-shaped and is slender with a maximum surviving width near its base of 19.5mm. The blade edges are straight and blade facets are discernible. The central rib is slender and comparatively high, producing a concave-sided lozenge blade profile. The tip of the spearhead has been lost. The surface of the spearhead is well-preserved with a dark-brown patina.

KENT-A4A477: BRIDLE BIT

SUR-A46676: SHOE
A 19th century leather boot, incomplete and now partly covered in lichen. The boot was found unburied in woodland. June Swann comments from photographs: This is a hob-nailed ankle boot for work, or possibly army, use. It has two rows of brass rivets at the waist, and 10/11 pairs of lace holes. Most of the iron seems to be missing and the photographs are not clear enough to say if the forepart sole was iron rivetted, though that is likely. The forepart sole edge has broken away at the line of rivets and hobnails, which would have gone around the edge, with three rows of hobs in the middle. There were also hobs around the edge of the stacked leather heel. Rivetting was revived with the 1853 Leicester patent and quickly became common and cheap work wear with machine-sewn uppers about 1860. On the upper are two rows of stitch holes attaching the boot leg to the vamp, with extra strong stitch, or possibly rivet at the corner. I cannot see the stitch holes across the throat so if the lace hole sections are open at the bottom ('open tab' for extra adjustment) that would be usual for a work boot, though Northampton Museum has one 1861 work boot stitched straight across (closed tab). The boot may have been too small for the wearer who has worn the leather away right across the toe - or it may have torn away with the rusting iron. If I am estimating the date correctly the toe was originally square. The leg is comparatively high cut, which places it c1860. If there is no back seam to the leg it is a Blucher, which does not fit as well as a back-seamed boot. As you can imagine tough boots of this type have not commonly survived, until the indestructible lower cut ankle boots of the 1890s-World War One period which were mostly made in the Kingswood area of Bristol.

HAMP-A3A7D0: STRAP END
An almost complete late early-medieval strap-end of 10th/11th-century date. The object is of unusual form and cast in copper alloy. It is a variant of Gabor Thomas' (2004, 2-3) Class E, tongue-shaped, strap-ends. The object consists of a sub-oval, convex body from one end of which protrudes and expanding, trapezoidal attachment plate. The attachment end features three perforations at its terminal. There central hole retains remains of a copper-alloy rivet. The flanking holes have been broken through in the past. The part of the attachment plate in which they are situated is recessed (Th.: c. 2.3mm) to take the strap. Closer to the body the attachment plate is c. 4.0mm thick. This element is decorated on its upper surface with chip-carved lines and triangles. At its junction with the main body the plate is 12.85mm wide. It would have expanded to a width of c. 16mm when the attachment end was complete. The main, convex body of the strap-end is decorated in the Winchester style, taking the form of an ornately moulded en-face animal mask emitting acanthus sprays. The decoration is openwork and the mask can be seen upside-down when the attachment end is at the top. At the junction with the attachment end is a heart-shaped moulding with an oval removal in each lobe. Below this a two lunate recesses which terminate in two small lateral curved protrusions. Below are two pointed oval lines in relief with a large circular perforation within each. Below each the edge of the strap-end arcs round in a curve, each end of which meets a rounded, longer protrusion. This latter continues the raised line mentioned above on its upper surface and is recessed within. The metal is now a red-brown colour with areas of overlying white-green corrosion, particularly on the concave lower surface.

HAMP-94D2F0: MOUNT
A circular cast copper-alloy gilded mount of probable medieval date. The lower surface is essentially flat, but heavily corroded. There is a pair of probable rivets near the circumference with a probable rove under one of them. They correspond to a pair of rivet heads on the upper surface. These are mirrored on the other side of the brooch by a pair of punched circles; these do not feature any obvious remains of rivets and there is no clear evidence for them on the lower surface. The upper surface is decorated in relief within a beaded border. The decoration consists of a creature standing left appearing to grasp something in its mouth, possibly a serpent. The animal has a long, luxuriant tail curved round above its back. All four legs are moulded and the head is facing. Its stance is quite feline and it may be a lion. Below the animal's mouth the thing it is grasping is obscured by ferrous corrosion. The ?serpent disappears behind lion's head, curves round, travels across the neck and terminates in a curl. The upper surface is gilded with the higher areas revealing a red-brown metal, the gilt having been lost. A post-Conquest date is suggested on the basis of the decoration.

WMID-947693: LINCH PIN
An incomplete vase-headed linch pin, probably dating from the Roman campaigning/conquest period in Britain, AD40-80. The linch pin has a copper alloy head, adjoining an iron shank which is broken at the base. There is no foot. When viewed in plan, the copper alloy head has concave sides, a flat top and a rounded collar just above the join with the iron shank. A broadly circular perforation, approximately 5mm in diameter, runs transversely through the head, which can be seen when the linch pin is viewed in profile. This would have probably held a thong which attached the foot to the head (for a reconstructed example of a complete linch pin and foot, see PAS record COOK-52797). In section, the head of the linch pin is D-shaped. The iron foot, broadly circular in section, tapers below the join with the head. The linch pin is a maximum of 61.7mm long from the top of the head to the base of the broken shank. The D-shaped top is a maximum of 26.4mm wide and 18.2mm long. Just above the perforations, the linch pin is 22.0mm wide, and 18.9mm thick. The iron shank has a maximum diameter of 14.5mmm at the base. The linch pin has a mass of 72.5g. The top of the linch pin is decorated with alternately coloured red and yellow champleve enamelled cells, within a copper alloy grid. The cells are square other than on the perimeter. The perimeter has suffered some damage, and the external cell walls are not present. There are also alternately coloured red and orange square/rectangular cells around the copper alloy collar above the iron shank. Vase headed linch pins with asymmetrical heads with a D-shaped top are uncommon finds (S. Worrell, PAS, pers. comm.). Saffron Walden Museum, Essex has an example with a D-shaped top which is unprovenanced, but assumed to have been found near Saffron Waden (see Major, 1988). There is a foot end with similar geometric ornament and red and yellow enamel from Kingsholm, Gloucestershire (see Webster, 1990). The Saffron Walden museum linch pin is decorated with incised patters and some cells at the front retain traces of yellow enamel. There are also two examples with polychrome enamel from Lapworth (see Webster, 1990) and Weeting (see Gregory, 1980; Hutcheson 2004), but these have curvilinear and circular rather than geometric motifs. The use of red and yellow enamel with bronze borders is evident on a large harness mount from Maendy, Rhondda Cynon Taff, with a suggested date of AD60-120 (A. Gwilt, National Museums of Wales, pers. comm.) The design is of native or La Tene style, but possibly showing the introduction of Romanising technologies (A. Gwilt, pers. comm.). Davis and Gwilt (2008) have traced the trend towards geometric design on La Tene art (with particular reference to the Seven Sisters hoard). This was a period of selective native or Iron Age appropriation of Roman materials and technologies. They have suggested the term "Native Campaigning Art", and related the trend across artefact classes from swords, to terrets, strap unions, bridle bits and collars. Vase headed linch pins apparently span the 4th Century BC to the late first century AD (A. Gwilt, pers. comm.). Multicoloured enamel does not start until the conquest period (30's AD at the earliest, more likely 40's AD) (J. D. Hill, British Museum, pers. comm.). Based on the parallels discussed above, and the geometric style, this example is likely to from the campaigning/conquest period, AD 40-80 (A. Gwilt and J.D. Hill, pers. comms.) or possibly even later (J.D. Hill, pers. comm.). I am indebted to A. Gwilt. S. Worrell, and J.D. Hill for the parallels and assistance provided in recording this linch pin.

SWYOR-93A570: WEAVING BATTEN
A wooden weaving paddle probably dating from the Bronze Age. The paddle is 470mm long, has a maximum breadth of 72mm and a maximum thickness of 11mm. The item is tangentially aligned, consisting of a flat faced blade, slightly thicker at the top (11mm) than at the bottom (8mm) and a handle with a sub-rectangular cross section extending back from the rear of the blade. The handle is 205 mm long and has a maximum breadth of 22mm and thickness of 11mm. The tip and bottom of the blade appear damaged and are probably broken. The paddle has been examined by Dr. Henry Chapman and Michael Bamforth and it is believed that it may well have been used as a flax beater. The wood is certainly worked though the species has not yet been identified. Similar sized objects have been assigned as possible weaving swords during the operation of looms. Weaving swords date back to the Early Bronze Age, and have been used through to the historic period. However, without contextual or other dating evidence it is not possible to positively assign a function to this artefact. A probable Bronze Age date is suggested since Bronze Age flints have been found at the same place (see the 2007 Yorkshire Archaeological Society Bulletin).

SWYOR-92DA81: COIN
Roman republican coin; a silver denarius serratus of moneyer C. Naevius Balbus, minted in Rome in 79BC. This coin was recorded from photographs kindly provided by the finder, so there are no dimensions or a weight recorded. For reference see RRC p. 397, no. 382/1b

HAMP-929D82: MOUNT
An early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) gilded cast copper-alloy mount of 6th-century date and probably from horse harness. It is rectangular with a raised border (Th.: up to 3.6mm) around three sides of the upper surface. Within the border the field contains chip carved and gilded decoration (described below). The lower surface is flat and features an integral rivet of circular cross-section (L.: c. 3.6mm). The rivet protrudes from a central position at the complete end of the mount: a similar arrangement can be seen on a mount recorded on this database (DENO-882046). The opposite short end is incomplete in so far as it lacks a border on its upper surface; the edge is otherwise straight and seemingly well finished. The design on the upper surface is described from left to right, where the complete/rivet end is to the right. All elements described are in relief. It is comprised of a raised sub-triangular element with a line below, running parallel to the lower edge of the mount for just under half of its length, before curving upwards. Above the sub-triangular element are two downwardly curving lines which stop short of the straight line. This part of the decoration covers approximately the first third of the mount. Above the line which curves upwards (already described) is a second pair of lines which curve downwards. They are arrested by a pair of lines, joined by a curve at their lefthand end, which runs parallel to the lower edge. Beginning in this central decorative section is a line with hooked lefthand end which runs parallel to the upper edge but continues all the way to the border. The decoration in the final third of the mount consists of this line uppermost with a raised sub-triangular element below, central and just in from the border. A pair of lines curves round the lower circumference of the sub-triangular element, terminating in the lower righthand corner. The art style is Style I animal art, although definite animals or elements thereof are difficult to pick out with certainty. There is possibly one complete animal and the head of a second. This artefact is clearly a decorative mount that was attached to some form of other object. Unfortunately what it was being used to decorate remains unknown, as no exact parallels for this mount could be found.

SWYOR-8FDF87: PALSTAVE
A copper alloy Middle Bronze Age flanged axe or palstave. It has a shield-shaped depression on the blade beneath the stop on both faces. It has a raised rounded stop ridge between the flanges which are quite high, giving a roughly diamond shape to the side of the body of the palstave. The butt end is missing. The cutting edge is crescent shaped. The casting spur is visible on both sides. The axe is 140.4mm long, 55.1mm wide and 35.6mm thick. It probably belongs to the Acton Park period of metalworking (Needham 2004 unpub.) and dates from between 1500BC and 1150BC. There is a hole in the stop, between the flanges which may suggest that the axehead is hollow. The axe is suffering from serious corrosion and pitting, but has a glossy deep green patina where it is not damaged. Similar axes can be seen on the PAS database. One example is SOM-1E8616.

SWYOR-8F3D67: BOX
A copper alloy foot from a larger object, probably a box, casket or vessel. The foot is in the form of a paw with four toes. The base of the foot is hollow. The ankle has moulded fur round it and is quite thick, and then the foot finishes with an irregular top on which the box or vessel would have sat. On the top is a tang or pin that points upwards. It is presumed that this was the fixing to the larger object. The tang is sub-square in section. The foot is 30mm long, 22.3mm wide and 20.5mm thick. The foot looks like it may be intended to represent a lion's paw. It is very difficult to date since the decorative motif of a lion has been used from Roman times to the present day. Other similar vessel feet recorded on the database include HAMP-107CF4 and BH-9D4386, which have been attributed to the Roman and Medieval periods. However, it seems most likely that this example is post medieval in date and is similar to SUR-A6F0F5

SWYOR-8F20A5: VESSEL
A copper alloy handle from a Roman patera or skillet. The flat handle is broken with the circular terminal which would have contained a suspension hole missing. It is 92.6mm long, 83.3mm wide and 13.4mm thick. The handle has concave ends, the wider one which would have continued into the vessel rim, and a narrower end where the missing terminal would have been. The handle is made from two pieces of metal. The top piece was probably cast with the rest of the vessel, but breaks half way along the handle. The lower piece is attached by two copper alloy rivets which pass through both pieces. It extends further towards the terminal of the handle and oddly is decorated on the face that would have been covered by the broken top piece. The decoration is a moulded double groove round the edge. The same decoration appears on the top piece. The narrower end of the handle is bent downwards which has damaged the patina. There is also extensive pitting and corrosion, but where it is undamaged the object has a beautiful glossy patina. A similar object is recorded on the database as WMID-6C2FE3, from Staffordshire, and a complete patera with a similar handle is illustrated in Allason-Jones, L, and Miket, R, 1984, 'The Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman Fort', pages 146, 149 & 150, ref no 358. This complete patera is dated to the mid 1st century AD.

HAMP-7F42F5: HARNESS MOUNT
A pair of copper-alloy objects found in the vicinity of each other: plausibly adjoining elements of the same medieval heraldic mount. The first element is small and shield-shaped. From the centre of the top of the 'heater' shaped shield is a protrusion which is now vestigial after an old break (W.: 2.55mm). While the lower surface of the object is flat, the upper surface is moulded in low relief with three lions going left: the arms of England. Traces of gilt survive on the lions. They are within a field of red enamel and can be described heraldically as 'gules three lions passant guardant [Or]'. These national arms post date c. 1198 (Ashley 2002, 8), and are commonly found on harness pendants and studs of the 13th and 14th centuries. The lower surface of the artefact is corroded and features traces of gilding. Dimensions: L.: 18.8mm, W.: 11.6mm, Th.: 2.4mm, Wt.: 2.275g The second element is a mount consisting of a bar of semicircular cross-section terminating in a convex lobe with central perforation. The bar tapers from the lobe (W.: 4.3mm) to a width of c. 2.55mm at a break. The mount is a corroded red-brown colour with traces of gilt overlying. Dimensions: L.: 45.5mm, W.: 13.35mm, Th.: 3.45mm, Wt.: 2.275g The shield-shaped element is very small even compared to the smallest heraldic harness pendants and studs. Given that we do not know how the object continued after the break, and the fact that it is the same width as the second element, it is suggested that the two may have formed part of the same original mount.

YORYM-7EC565: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle of Marshall type IF. The object is single-looped and D-shaped in plan, with a rectangular section. The outer loop is wider than the sides; there is a notch for the pin with an incised decorative line on either side of the notch. The pin is intact.

YORYM-7EA6F8: BELL
Copper alloy bell of the type often known as a 'Norse' bell. dating to the Early Medieval period. The object is formed of a single piece of thin metal in an irregular hexagonally faceted cone. There is damage to one half of the object, although it is largely intact. The rim appears to have been shaped into six points, one at the end of each angle. The loop and clapper are missing. Compare DENO-D5D015, DENO-5F1DD7, etc. 10th century.

KENT-7EACF8: COIN

HAMP-7E6F03: PIN
A pin cast in copper alloy of probable early-medieval date (mid-late Anglo-Saxon). The pin has a polyhedral head (9.0 x 8.55 x 7.55mm), formed from a cuboid with its corners cut off; the triangles and lozenges thus formed are not regular. The four lozengiform fields round the edges are decorated with three scored diagonal lines in two rows. This is unusual as many polyhedral pins feature ring-and-dot decoration (see e.g. Hinton 1996, 22; fig. 9). Below the head the shaft is faceted, and of crudely octagonal cross-section. Each face is decorated with a row of punched circles. Below, the pin becomes square in cross-section with a 'collar' with four lozengiform faces formed through small triangular removals. There are longer triangular removals on the edges below this. The fields between feature a row of three diagonally scored lines. Below this the decoration continues on each face: two rows of three punched circles, above two scored lines, above a long row of seven punched circles. Beyond the decoration the pin becomes circular in cross-section before a break resulting in a loss and bend. The artefact now has a dark green patina.

HAMP-7C86C6: STUD
A cast copper-alloy stud or mount of probable medieval date. The artefact consists of shallow convex head of irregular form and an integrally cast shank projecting for c. 15.1mm from just off centre on the reverse face. The shank has a square cross-section and a terminal which has been hammered flat. The head of the mount is in the form of a winged creature with head turned backwards. It is moulded in low relief with the edges finished in the shape of the animal's limbs, head and wings. Areas of the field not occupied by the animal are slightly lower. The legs curve round the circumference and the head is turned back to face the tail. Some areas, including the wing, have raised linear decoration suggesting niello. The head has eye, ear and mouth delineated and may be that of a dog or lion (cf. the winged lion of St Mark). In construction the mount is similar to medieval rein or harness studs dating to the 13th and 14th centuries AD. Perhaps a slightly earlier date can be suggested for this stud given the rendering of the creature. However, it is uncertain how this artefact would have functioned; a stud bearing similarities recorded on this database (SUR-105DE5) was thought to have come from an item of furniture such as a casket (also see WAW-6AF8C0). See also ASR 1375x070 from Hviding, Denmark; Lassure 1998; Renswoude 2015, 103; Renswoude 2007 - ZAN 123 - Geldermalsen; from Les Trois-Domaines; http://www.dirk-kennis.be/romanesque%20stud.html.

CAM-7C8EB3: PIN
Roman copper alloy pin with a bevelled top. The back of the pin is flat and the front is curved at the top, giving a semi-circular section but the shaft of the pin tapers towards the bottom, becoming narrow and oval in section. The object is almost bent double, perhaps as a result of use.

SOM-7BE3F0: SPOON
A cast copper alloy spoon bowl of post-medieval date. The spoon bowl measures 61.7mm in length, 46mm in width at its widest point and weighs 18.6g. A fleur de lis has been stamped within the bowl, adjacent to where the stem has broken off. Fleur de lis makers' marks have been noted on latten seal top and slip top spoons (Homer 1975, 54). Unlike goldsmiths (who worked in silver and gold), little is known about the marks of spoonmakers who worked in pewter and brass and it is not possible to identify the maker's mark on this example.

HAMP-7B9723: SCABBARD
A complete copper-alloy artefact: probably a late early-medieval/medieval scabbard chape (c. 12th century AD). The object is formed of a broadly U-shaped plate folded over on itself such that is is L-shaped, albeit at a slightly obtuse angle. The two elements are joined with an extant rivet at the top of the 'L'. The terminal at which the two elements are attached are slightly expanded, with one more rounded than the other. The arms are moulded in low relief on their outer surface in a cabled fashion. At the corner at small rounded lobe protrudes. The front of the chape is expanded with a pair of transverse grooves on its front face. The artefact is difficult to parallel within the corpus of scabbard chapes (de Reuck 1991), although it has sufficient affinity with 12th-century examples to suggest that it is a chape of this date. It has now corroded to a variable mid-green colour.

YORYM-7B88E5: COIN
Medieval silver penny of Edward I.

WAW-7B6EF8: PURSE
A cast copper alloy purse bar. The purse bar has a central rectangular boss with a vertical perforation in the centre. The terminals of the perforation are expanded in diameter slightly, particularly on one face. The reverse of the boss has a vertical crack in the centre where the perforation has made the boss wall particularly narrow. Protruding from either side of the boss there is an integral circular sectioned arm which terminates with a bulbous knop. The knop is decorated with horizontal rounded ridges. The bar has an incomplete dark brown patina. It measures 67.13mm long and 10.53mm wide across a knop. It weighs 15.8g. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval Finds From Norwich Survey, Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology 58) illustrates a longer example, No. 291 whose terminals are similar. This is dated to the 15th and 16th century. Other examples are illustrated in the London Museum Catalogue (Ward-Perkins, J.B. 1940 London Museum: Medieval Catalogue London ), Figure 52 and B1 and B3 are particularly similar to the recorded example. All these date to the late 15th to early 16th centuries.

HAMP-7AEA08: HARNESS FITTING
A corroded and incomplete late early-medieval cast copper-alloy harness fitting (11th century AD). The object consists of a central bar, semicircular in cross-section, with a flat reverse. At one end this terminates in a loop, square with rounded corners. The loop is externally bevelled on its upper surface, bevelling paralleled internally on the lower surface. At the other, broken, end is a rectangular element with a transverse groove on its upper surface from which protrude tines, albeit now vestigial, one on each side. The object is a red-brown colour with areas of dusty, light green corrosion product all over. The artefact could be a broken harness link, although these tend to have circular or oval loops (Williams 2007, 5; fig. 6). Square or trapezoidal loops are characteristic of cheek pieces, specifically of Williams' (2007, 3-4) Type 3 which have a Hampshire/West Sussex distribution.

WAW-7A3880: BROOCH
A cast copper alloy one-piece brooch. Only a fragment of the spring remains, just half a coil which leads from the upper edge of the bow, and is integral to the bow. The break of the spring is not recent as the patina covers the break. As the spring is missing, the pin is also. The bow is an elongated sub-triangle in plan with the upper edge tapering slightly to form the coil. The lower tip is broken, and again this does not appear to be a recent break. The upper portion of the bow is curved in profile and the lower portion is straight. The outer face of the bow is decorated with a central column of fine obliquely angled notches. The catchplate is missing. The brooch has a well developed dark green patina with pitting occurring on the reverse. It measures 34.36mm long by 8.03mm wide across the bow. It weighs 1.8g. The brooch is a La Tene III Nauheim derivative type which dates to c. 25 to 100 AD (Worrell, S. 2007 ‘Roman Brooch Timeline’ North-West PAS Newsletter).

YORYM-79F481: COIN

HAMP-79DC46: BUCKLE
A cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle with integral plate of probable late early-medieval date (c. 11th century AD). This is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin, which was made of iron judging by the orange corrosion product retained in the perforation. The frame is oval with a prominently protruding triangular lip on its outer edge. On its upper surface it is bevelled externally with mirroring internal bevelling on its lower surface extending into the lip. Around the pin perforation there is a moulding either side on the upper surface in the transverse plane. Beyond this the plate incurves to a waist 8.7mm in width. The rest of the plate is broadly square and is recessed on the lower surface to take the strap. This makes the plate very thin (c. 1.4mm), such that it has bent upwards at one corner as a result of old damage. At this attachment end there are two rivet holes, one in each corner; both rivets have been lost. The buckle has corroded to a mid-red/brown colour with areas of mid-light green corrosion product. Such a colour, together with former the iron pin, suggest the date offered above.

WAW-79D317: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle frame. The outer portion of the loop remains, and this is sub-triangular and is expanded in width. The apex of the frame is decorated with a central wide transverse groove which would also act as a notch. Either side of this groove there are two more fine grooves which define a scroll either side of the notch. The upper and reverse surfaces are flat except for the moulding. The terminals of the frame are narrowed and broken, these breaks are not recent. The frame has a well developed mid grey/green patina. It measures 25.8mm long from terminal to terminal and 11.07mm wide across the notch. It weighs 4.4g. The buckle frame was probably originally a D-shape with an off-set strap bar. The D-shaped frame dates to the Medieval period, Egan and Pritchard (Egan G. and Pritchard F. 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate a similar decorated frame, No. 300, dates to the mid 14th to 14th century.

YORYM-7949F3: COIN
Medieval silver penny of Edward IV.

WAW-789A84: THIMBLE
A cast copper alloy ring type thimble. The upper and lower rim is decorated with a fine horizontal groove. Within these grooves and occasionally overlapping them there are irregular columns of circular drilled (conical) indentations. In plan the rims are circular, and in profile the thimble narrows slightly towards the upper rim. The exterior and interior surfaces have a mid green patina. It measures 13.12mm long, 18.31mm diameter wide at the base and the wall is 1.16mm thick. It weighs 4.6g. Holmes (Holmes, E.F. 'Sewing Thimbles' Datasheet 9 finds Research Group) in Figure 4c illustrates a similar shaped ring type thimble which is dated to c. 1500. Read (2018, nos. 8-10) illustrates several similar thimbles, and dates them to the 15th century.

WAW-7872F8: HARNESS FITTING
A probable cast copper alloy harness suspension mount. The body of the mount is rectangular in plan with either narrow terminal being concave. The outer face is undecorated, the reverse has the remains of an integral central stud. Protruding from the lower edge of the body there is an integral ‘n’ shape which originally probably curled under to form a ‘U’ shaped profile to allow pendants to be suspended. The surface of the frame has an incomplete dark green/grey patina with some pitting occurring. The mount measures 31.53mm by 28.55mm and is 4.03mm thick. It weighs 6g. Read (Metal Artefacts of Antiquity) illustrates similar mounts; p.52 Figure.31, Nos. 403-405 and dates these to the 13th to 14th centuries.

HAMP-6943E2: HARNESS PENDANT
A slightly corroded, almost complete cast copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date (c. 14th century). The octofoil artefact is relatively unusual and elaborate. The form is effectively that of a cross patty which has rounded terminals to its arms, with diagonal arms emerging from between the arms of the cross. The diagonal arms terminate in a trefoil and, as with the other arms, the terminal is delineated by a small transverse ridge. The beginning of each diagonal arm is a moulded heart shape, the recess of which is filled with enamel: seemingly red enamel in the two fields to the right and blue in the fields to the left (when viewing the pendant with suspension loop uppermost). A suspension loop emerges from the uppermost terminal of the 'cross'; it has broken such that only vestiges remain, perpendicular to the main body of the pendant. The lower surface is flat and plain. Overall the metal has corroded to what is largely a red-brown colour with large areas of mid-light green bronze disease, particularly on the reverse. The colour is consistent with gilding and, although no traces remain, it would be plausible. The pendant is of a known type with parallels on this database - e.g. NARC-555A85 - and elsewhere (e.g. UKDFD Ref. No. - 7359). These other examples show the rounded terminals to be cusped in the shape of scallop shells.

HAMP-677686: STRAP END
A slightly worn early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas Class B, Type 1. The attachment end is wedge-shaped and split (max. W.: 10.1mm), with a double perforation; both rivets have been lost. There is a linear border on both edges of the upper surface; the field within is seemingly plain. The top edge of the upper surface of the uppermost split element is cusped. The base of the attachment end is marked by a pair of transverse grooves, within which a ridge. Beyond, the strap-end tapers very gradually before terminating in a small moulded animal-head terminal (W.: c. 5.1mm), above which is a small transverse ridge on the upper surface. The zoomorphic terminal features curved removals to its edges which suggest eyes and a snout. Viewed in profile one can see that the attachment end had been bent downwards. The lowermost split element has buckled slightly. The object has a largely black patina, with some areas of corrosion on both surfaces as well as a small area of tinning. This type of strap-end is a common type in southern and south-eastern England and dates from c. 800 AD onwards (Thomas 2003, 4). For similar see Biddle (1990, 502; fig. 126, e.g. ref. 1071).

Originally it was a circular cup with two loops, one each side of the closed end. The loops are still present but are flattened and the cup is squashed closed. The cap was cast, but sheet ones are also known (Courtney 1988). The findspot suggests that the cap probably dates from 1644.

SWYOR-66A7A1: VESSEL
A copper alloy vessel fragment probably dating from the late medieval or early post medieval period. The vessel is a small bottle or flask with a long neck and a rounded body. The exact shape of the body is unknown as the bottom part is missing. Certainly the shoulders are rounded suggesting a spherical or oval shape. The rim is slightly thickened and flared. The vessel does not have any lugs or suspension loops. No close parallel has been found, but other small copper alloy flasks have been recorded on the database. One example is LVPL-5646E7. A parallel for that was found in Surrey (SUR-FA2AB0) and was inscribed with 'OLEVM CHRISM' which suggests it contained one of the three holy oils used in the medieval church. Until then they had been known as 'mercury flasks' as they clearly contained a small quantity of precious liquid. Another uninscribed example was found in Cheshire in 2004 (LVPL-EC3F40). The main difference between these flasks and this bottle is that the flasks do not have a long neck, and they all have handles. This bottle appears to be slightly later in date, but may have had a similar function. The bottle is 41.3mm long, 25.1mm wide and 24.7mm thick.

SWYOR-669193: COIN
A silver medieval coin; a penny of John (1199 – 1216), class 5b (1205 – 1218), minted by Pieres at Chichester. One side of the coin is worn and scratched and there is a chip in the edge, but otherwise it is in good condition. It has a diameter of 17.8mm and is 0.7mm thick. It weighs 1.4g. For reference see North Volume I, number 970.

DOR-665D58: STIRRUP
Late Saxon cast, copper alloy stirrup terminal. Of zoomorphic design, this terminal would have completely enclosed the diagonal arms at the lower part of a sturrup. It is in the form of a crested animal head which is curled around so that it faces "up the stirrup". There are two small. circular apertures between the underside of the heaed and the body of the terminal. At the top are two raised collars. The crest at the base is decorated with stylised tendrils and lobes. There are two apertures at the side of the terminal where the arm and lower bar of the sturrup would each have emerged. The terminal is filled with corrosion product from the missing iron stirrup. DATE: Second half of the 11th century (1050 - 1100) Dimensions: 43.74 mm x 26.43 mm x 13.35 mm Weight: 32.45 g A similar, more decorative example can be seen in Williams, D, 1997, "Stirrup Terminals", Datasheet 24, Finds Research Group 700 - 1700, p. 2, figure 3.

YORYM-665F84: COIN
Roman copper alloy barbarous radiate.

SWYOR-665F67: WEIGHT
A lead alloy pan weight which is probably post medieval. The weight is sub-circular and has a raised rim. It is 44mm long, 42.6mm wide and 8.7mm thick. The reverse is slightly hollow, and the front is marked with four straight lines scratched on, probably representing the number four for 4oz. The weight weighs 106.7g which is 3.8oz. Similar weights are depicted in Lead Weights: the David Rodgers Collection (Biggs and Withers 2000). They were found near the Roman fort and Chester and are tentatively dated to the Roman period, or the sixteenth century. A post medieval date seems much more likely in this case.

HAMP-663B35: STIRRUP
A cast copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of late Anglo-Saxon date (c. 11th century AD) which can be categorised as a Williams' Class A Type 5 (1997, 40-42). The mount is sub-pentagonal in form, consisting of a broadly pentagonal field surmounted by a pair of tendril-like shapes with scrolled terminals. At the apex the tendrils converge into a moulded zoomorphic head. Emerging from the head are the beginnings of a suspension loop; this is largely broken as is common on such strap mounts (ibid., 42). The head faces upwards are features a pair of heavily punched eyes with a moulded transverse ridge beyond. The tendrils are divided from the field by heavily scored lines. The field itself contains lightly incised knotted decoration, difficult to discern, within an incised border. Just within the base of the border, slightly off centre, is a circular perforation; the rivet is now missing. While the zoomorphic head is moulded the frame is flat on both surfaces. The lower face features a conventional perpendicular flange with central, protruding trapezoidal section (max W.: 8.45mm). This artefact is now a dark red-brown colour with some small areas of green corrosion product, particularly on its lower surface. Viewed in profile it can be seen to have been bent upwards on one side. It is likely to date from the first quarter of the 11th century to the early 12th century (ibid., 8).

SWYOR-663DC5: HARNESS MOUNT
A copper alloy heraldic harness mount dating from the medieval period. The mount is shield shaped (a straight top with curved sides meeting in a point at the base) and has a single spike projecting from the reverse which is not central. The spike is conical and pointed. It is straight suggesting that the mount may have been attached to a hard object such as a casket rather tan harness (Griffiths 1989). The front is decorated with a band of red enamel running from the top left to the bottom right, and three birds on each side of the band, also in red enamel. There is no trace of gilding or silvering, so it is not known what colour the background would have been. However, it is likely that the arms may have had a silver ground and have belonged to the Furnival family of West Yorkshire (Tim Midgley June 2002 - 30th September 2006, page consulted 11/12/07). The mount is 36.2mm long, 29.7mm wide and 12.7mm thick. The mount probably dates from the thirteenth or fourteenth century (Griffiths 1989).

YORYM-65EEC5: COIN
Late Roman copper alloy nummus of Constantine II.

YORYM-65D7D4: COIN
Probable French silver coin of early Post-Medieval date.

LVPL-65DBE1: HARNESS FITTING
Fragment of a cast copper alloy harness link dating from c.1000-1150 AD. It is part of a 2-way strap distributor which consist of a central boss with 2 arms, each terminating in an attachment loop. On this example the loops have broken off in antiquity. The arms widen towards the end but then the loops are missing. There is some decoration in the form of incised vertical lines along the arms. The central boss is circular and slightly domed with a hollow reverse. It has 2 decorative knops, on at the top, the other at the bottom of the circle which are quite worn. On the front of the boss in the middle is an incised circle as decoration. The whole surface of the object has active corrosion and the edges are worn. It has a dark green patina. A smilar example was found in Kvalsta in Central Sweden (William; 1997; 5).

YORYM-65A718: COIN
Medieval silver farthing of Edward I.

YORYM-653814: COIN
Silver Post-Medieval threepence of Elizabeth I.

LVPL-6517D2: COIN
Silver half groat of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), dating to 1595/6- 1597/8, North no. 2016. The flan is slightly mis-shapen and the coin is worn, particularly on the obverse.

LVPL-650A75: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy Polden Hill type bow brooch dating to the second half of the 1st century AD. The pin and most of the catchplate are missing. It is very worn and has some corrosion. The wings of the brooch are semi-cylindrical and the backwards facing hook is still visible. The rest of the spring mechanism has been lost to corrosion. The bow rises high from the wings with a humped appearance similar to the Dolphin type. The bow tapers to a point at the foot.

LVPL-64EDF0: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy Roman Wirral Type bow brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. It is not complete, the head and the foot being worn away and the catchplate and pin being lost. Wirral brooches are cast integrally with a loop on the head and steps up to the loop. The head loop has worn away but the steps remain on this example. There is some orange enamel left on these steps. The upper half of the bow is decorated with a rectangular panel containing 3 long strips infilled with enamel usualy in alternating contrasting colours. On this example there is some orange enamel remaining in alternating squares. They usually have a boss or stud at the waist (below the enamelled panel), on this example it is worn away. The lower part of the bow is plain and the foot has lost its disc-like mouldings through wear. This type of brooch is known as the Wirral type as the earliest discovery of this type was from the Wirral and it also now thought that this is where the main (if not only) production site was based(Philpott; 1999; 275). The Wirral brooch is thought to have been derived from the trumpet brooch.

LVPL-64CC55: RING
Cast copper alloy ring of uncertain date. It is circular in plan with a rectangular cross section. It is plain on all surfaces. Plain rings could be used for many purposes and were used throughout the ages, therefore it is very difficult to date this ring.

LVPL-64ACB7: COIN
Silver sixpence of Charles I (1625-49) dating to 1632-3, Group D, North no.2240. The flan is slightly mis-shapen with some of the legend missing at one edge and there being a blank area on another edge.

LVPL-649795: SPOON
Cast copper alloy spoon which has broken 40mm down the spoon handle. The spoon bowl is oval in shape. The handle is square in cross-section. There is a makers mark in the form of a rose at the base of the bowl close to the handle. A similar shaped bowl with a rose as the makers mark/stamp was found in London and dated to c. 1650-1700 (Egan; 2005; 119; no.580)

YORYM-649D51: COIN
Cut Medieval silver halfpenny of an uncertain ruler.

LVPL-647F45: COIN
Silver threepence of Charles I (1625-49), seige piece (1642-9), Ormond money dating to 1643. This issue has traditionally been titled 'Ormond' money because it was thought to have been struck on behalf of Chrles I by the Viceroy, James, Marquis of Ormond. Ormond had been in charge of the King's armies in Ireland from the start of the rebellion.

LVPL-6473A6: BOOK FITTING
Fragment of a copper alloy book clasp. It is made from sheet metal and is the end of the clasp. It is rectangular in plan, the end is scalloped. On the top face are 2 ring and dot motifs close to the end. On the lower face (back) there is the remains of a rivet hole. 15th or 16th century.

YORYM-646991: COIN
Medieval silver long cross penny, probably of Henry VII.

LVPL-643B06: SEAL
Lead sack seal from the 18/19th century, most likely from some form of agricultural product. It is sub-circular in plan and is rough around the edges. There is writing and a design on both sides. Side 1- ...STERED... WEBBS- underneath a crown Side 2- ...& SONS... CHESTER Small cross in the middle.

BERK-18E0F7: TILE
9 sherds of Roman ceramic flue tile. The tiles are scored so that the plaster would adhere to them. It is not possible to closely date these items other than to say that they are Roman. Dated c. 50-400 AD.

LIN-162204: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A flint tool, possibly an chisel or scraper. The object is roughly triangular in plan and in cross-section, with flakes taken off both dorsal and ventral surfaces. The fragment is from the top end however the tip is missing. The butt is gentley curved and looks as if it could be original rather than reworking of a break, which would make the axe rather small. The flint is Lincolnshire Wolds flint, being mid-grey in colour with patches of iron staining. The finder suggests a Palaeolithic date for this piece, though a later prehistoric date is not unlikely.

YORYM-15D3A6: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy Roman Trumpet brooch. The head of the object is in the form of an inverted cone with the tip curving slightly to the side. There is a shank with a recessed centre; it is probable that the shank would have fit into something.

LIN-160773: HANDAXE
A worn, rolled and damaged lithic implement, identified as a Palaeolithic flint axe by the finder. The condition of the object, along with the fact that it is not truly bifacial, makes this identification questionable. The axe is roughly oval is plan and in cross-section, with flakes taken off both dorsal and ventral surfaces. There is some damage around the edge exposing a fresh mid-grey coloured flint. The surface has a reddish-brown patina.

SUSS-15DCF2: COIN
A pierced copper-alloy coin of post-Medieval date.

SUSS-15C602: COIN
American silver half dime or 'disme', minted in 1834 at Pennsylvania. The coin has been pierced at 11 o'clock on the obverse and 5 o'clock on the reverse allowing it to hang with the obverse upright but ensuring the hole does not damage the bust.

YORYM-158916: JETTON
Copper alloy jeton, probably French, dating from the Medieval period. The obverse has a crown with lis ornaments; the inscription is not distinguishable. The reverse has a triple-stranded cross fleuretty within a tressure of four arches; the inscription is not distinguishable.

SUSS-1585F6: COIN
Double liard of Maria Theresa (1740-1780) Archduchess of Austria, minted for use in the Austrian Netherlands, now Belgium, 1st type, 1750-1754.

YORYM-150B04: KNIFE
Cast copper alloy late Medieval knife pommel. The object is in the form of a knuckle bone, with two lobes projecting, one from each side, and a wide recessed band down the centre. The object is probably a pommel from a scale handled knife.

SUSS-154F25: TOKEN
Cast unifaced lead token. The token is decorated with four lines running across the diameter which meet in the centre, forming an eight pointed star or wheel with eight spokes. The token is 18.83mm in diameter, 1.72mm thick and weighs 3.33 grams. Tokens with such simple designs are very easy to make and continued in use for a long period so a general date of 1250-1800 AD is given.

HAMP-151243: HARNESS FITTING
A corroded and incomplete late early-medieval cast copper-alloy harness link (11th century AD). The object consists of a central bar, triangular with rounded corners in cross-section, with a flat reverse. Central on this is a moulded boss, trapezoidal in section. The plain boss is c. 9.5mm and 8.6mm in width. The bar is broken just after the boss on one side such that it is only vestigial. On the other side the bar continues, terminating in a circular loop. The loop is bevelled externally on the upper surface, and internally, slightly, on the lower. The loop has also been filed on the lower surface to reduce its thickness. The object is a red-brown colour with areas of dusty, light green corrosion product all over. Contemporary harness links can be found illustrated in Williams (2007, 5; fig. 6).

YORYM-14F3C2: COIN
Roman copper alloy sestertius of an uncertain ruler.

SUSS-14E8A7: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
A large lump of copper, it's rounded appearence suggests it has cooled from molton metal in a crucible or other mould. One side is almost flat, the top is domed and the sides rounded, it may originally have been oval as it appears to have been cut on one face, the cut is now worn. It may have been made on site or have been carried here for metal working. It is difficult to give this item an exact date although study of the composition might help, a date of Bronze Age - post-medieval has thus been given although it is likely to sit within the earlier part of this range. It is 38.8mm long, 38.7mm wide, 25.3mm thick and weighs 140 grams.

SUSS-14BD44: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Knapped flint implement. In shape and forming technique it appears similar Mesolithic - Early Neolithic picks although it is much smaller. It is also similar to the Mesolithic tooks known as fabricators and it was probably used to dig small holes or to work wood. It is 67.4mm long, 25.3mm wide, 16.3mm thick and weighs 29.7 grams. The implement was produced from a much larger flake that has been extensively reworked, possibly several times. There is extensive blunting, low angle, stepped retouch at the proximal end, extending two fifths of the way down the sides. The distal half has been sharpened and shows signs of use; there is retouch on both faces. The ventral face has scaled, invasive, semi abrupt retouch. On the dorsal face several parallel flakes have been taken off from both sides, they run disgonally in from the sides and cover the entire surface; there is also smaller retouch and use wear around the edges. The effect of the retouch on both sides of the distal end has been to create a slight hook to the end. The flint is medieum grey in colour with light and dark grey mottled inclusions and an orange area, possibly iron staining at the proximal end.

SUSS-1479E0: SPUR
Post medieval or modern copper alloy rowel spur. The spur is incomplete and has been bent out of shape. One side is complete, undecorated and around 90mm long; it is 9.5mm wide and 4.1mm thick where it meets the neck and 4.1mm wide and 2.4mm thick by the terminal. The terminal is figure of eight shape, the side meets it between the two loops. The terminal is 12.1mm long, 8.0mm wide and 2.5mm thick; the loops are 4.5mm in internal diameter, one loop shows signs of wear. The other side is broken with an old break and only 42.6mm in lengh. The neck is plain, circular in cross section, 13.3mm long and 7.5mm in diameter. The rowel box is also plain, one arm has broken, the other is complete but bent and retains part of the iron pin in the terminal loop. The complete arm is about 12.2mm long and the maximum diameter of the rowel would be about 10mm. The spur weighs 23.93 grams. The plainness of the spur, shortness of the neck and width of the sides suggests an 18th to mid-19th century date.

HAMP-143B41: SCABBARD
An incomplete copper-alloy artefact: probably a late early-medieval/medieval scabbard chape (c. 12th century AD). The object is formed of a broadly rectangular lower plate with an arm protruding up from it at a slightly oblique angle to the perpendicular. This upper arm has been bent backwards just below the halfway point, at an angle of around forty-five degrees. The lower section bends back on itself at the end opposite the arm. It is assumed that the complete chape would have been made of a symmetrically cut piece of copper alloy bent round on itself so that the leather of the scabbard would have fit between the two folds. This lower element is broken just 10.05mm after the return fold; the rest of the object is now missing. On its upper surface it features a raised border upper and lowermost. Within the border is a sinuous curve formed of small punch marks with further, isolated punches above each peak and trough. Beyond the return is different, chipped decoration formed of diagonal lines. The upper surface of the arm is formed of moulded cabling with semi-circular cross-section. The arm terminates in a collar, beyond which a crudely rounded loop. The perforation would presumably have held a pin which would have gone through the leather to the (now missing) other arm. The artefact is difficult to parallel within the corpus of scabbard chapes (de Reuck 1991), although it has sufficient affinity with 12th-century examples to suggest that it is a chape of this date. A useful parallel on this database, from the same county - HAMP-AB8257 - was also recorded as such. It appears to bear comparable decoration, albeit the arms are plain on the parallel.

WILT-135C98: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
CURATOR'S REPORT Description of find A distorted and fragmentary silver-gilt decorative mount of probable Roman date. The mount, probably a component of a composite object, appears to have been of flared octagonal form and seems to retain original upper and lower edges. There is an irregular W-shaped cut-out in one edge. The outer face has a symmetrical decor comprising a toothed band below each edge and two bands of running chevron with gilded ribbing between the bands. Discussion The damaged nature of the mount prevents a definitive identification or an unequivocal assignment to a particular period, but the decorative motifs and mode of manufacture are consistent with a Roman date.

NARC-1319B5: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A large flint tool, patinated in varied shades of brown. The entire dorsal face has been heavily worked and the edges have been retouched. Very little cortex (0-10%) remains on either face. The ventral face has also been heavily worked and retouched. The length of the scraper is 37.3mm, the width is 29.2mm and the thickness is 7.5mm.

SWYOR-1307E1: COIN
A copper alloy Roman coin: a nummus of Constantine (307 - 337), Constantinopolis, Victory on Prow type ( 330 - 335). The coin has a diameter of 16.6mm and is 0.9mm thick. It weighs 1g. The mintmark is TR•P so the coin was minted in Trier in Germany. It is very worn and the edge is chipped in places.

SUSS-129881: VESSEL
Rim fragment from a copper alloy vessel, the fine finish on the inside suggests that it may have been used for serving as well as food preperation. The outside of the vessel is rough. The fragment is 94.83mm long, 35.75mm wide, 2.46mm thick in the body and weighs 45.65 grams. The rim is 11.56mm wide and 4.65mm thick. The curve of the rim suggests the original vessel had a diameter of 12cm, the rim was flared and fairly flat, siting at an angle about 30 degrees from the horizontal.

SWYOR-12A4B5: THIMBLE
A silver thimble dating from the nineteenth century. The thimble is 24mm long and has an 18mm diameter at the base. It is typical of thimbles made by Charles Horner of Yorkshire. It has a domed top which, along with the upper half of the walls, is decorated with flower motifs. The lower part of the walls have a waffle pattern and then a plain band on which are the hall marks and makers marks. This object was recorded from a photograph and details kindly provided by the finders. The marks are not clear in the photograph. There is an almost identical thimble on page 60 of “The Collector’s Guide to Thimbles” by B McConnell (1996).

SWYOR-1296C2: BROOCH
A copper alloy Roman headstud brooch which is 50mm long, 20mm wide and 20mm thick. The bow and wings are decorated with rectangular transverse cells of enamel. The headstud is a circular cell which appears to be integrally cast. There is a circular head loop which has broken. The foot is rounded and worn so the details are not visible. This object was recorded from a photograph and details kindly provided by the finders. The pin mechanism and catch plate are not visible. Headstud brooches are usually dated from 75 - 200 AD (Snape, 1993).

SWYOR-128537: COIN
A Roman coin; a silver denarius of Trajan (98 - 117), dating from AD104 - 111. The coin has a diameter of 19mm and is 1mm thick. It weighs 2.86g and was probably minted in Rome. There are three standards on the reverse. The coin is hardly worn and is in very good condition. For reference Roman Imperial Coinage Volume II, number 228. This object was recorded from a photograph and details kindly provided by the finders.

SWYOR-1267B7: WEIGHT
A lead alloy weight which is sub-circular. It is 45mm long, 40mm wide and 7mm thick. It weighs 4 oz. The front is marked with a square stamp bearing the letters “IP” in relief in the centre of the weight. Above this stamp are four stamps in the shape of an outline P. These are arranged across the top of the weight in an uneven line. They probably indicate the value of the weight at four ounces. The division of a pound into 16 ounces took place in the fourteenth century (Biggs and Withers, 2000), but the style of the letters suggests a post medieval date for this example. This object was recorded from a photograph and details kindly provided by the finders.

Post medieval copper alloy coin weight: hexagonal.

LIN-1180A4: COIN
Four unidentifiable late Roman copper alloy nummi.

NARC-1171C2: STRAP END
An early medieval cast copper alloy strap fitting. It may be a strapend of unusual form (not easily classifiable under Thomas' typology), and probably dates betwen the 5th and 9th centuries. The fitting is of deep rectangular cross section, and subrectangular profile. It features a transverse slot midway along its length, dividing its profile into two square fields. The proximal field features two round attachment holes (diameter 1.5mm) close to the edge, which sinuously curves around these perforations. In section, this end is slotted to a depth of 4mm, presumably for attachment of a trap or similar. The proximal end features a hooped projection, completed by two terminal lugs.

LIN-1170B3: COIN
Roman copper alloy Radiate, uncertain ruler.

LIN-1155D4: COIN
Late Roman copper alloy nummus. The coin is a contemporary copy, and appears to be copying a 'SALVS REIPVBLICAE' reverse of Arcadius, making this a very late Roman coin. The reverse is very worn, however one can see a figure standing left, dragging a captive who is located to the right of the figure.

Late Roman copper alloy nummus, contemporary copy of a FEL TEMP REPARATIO type of Constantius II.

LIN-112A97: COIN
Late Roman copper alloy nummus of Constantine I.

SUSS-110A02: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An fragment of an unidentified lead object, possibly from an architectural item such as a rain head. Fragment is 89.5mm long, 55.1mm wide, 12.1mm thick and weighs 150 grams. All sides are broken and the breaks are patinated. The back is flat and the front curves outwards slightly so the item is thickest in the middle and thinner at the sides. The front is decorated with a bevelled line running horizontally across the piece with two oval indents below, both indents only survive in part.

LIN-110823: PURSE
Fragment of a copper alloy purse bar arm. The arm is sub-rectangular in section and tapers slightly towards the terminal end. At the terminal is a thicker collar and a narrow neck however the terminal knop is missing. The opposite end of the bar is an old break which is where the arm of the bar would have joined a central block. There is a pierced tab projecting from the base of the bar. The bar is inscribed on both faces with recessed lettering that is inlaid in places with a light coloured material, probably niello. On one side, reading from the terminal, the inscription is “AVE MA” and on the other side it is “CVM * ”.

Early Roman cremation. The find consists of an incomplete cream-coloured Nene-Valley ware flagon with cremated human remains inside it. The flagon has a pedestal base, wide globular body and an incomplete narrow neck. The vessel has been partially restored by the landowner. The bone is mostly well cremated however there are a few larger broken bones, some of which do not appear to have been burnt. One of these bones in particular displays two short cut marks across the surface of the bone, suggesting that some degree of butchering has taken place. It is possible that these larger unburnt bones may in fact be animal bones, possibly offerings, that have become mixed in with the human remains either during or after the firing. The vessel was discovered circa 5 feet down in sandy soil by workmen digging a soakaway. The find was reported 1 year after discovery during a Finds Day.

SUR-FE71C6: BROOCH
An annular medieval brooch with a gilded outer face. The back of the brooch originally had a separately-attached bar.

Post medieval silver halfpenny of Edward IV. The rose in the centre of the cross are known for Edward IV heavy coinage(1461-4/5) from Durham, and also series VI from Ireland, minted at Drogheda (1473-8?)

Medieval seal matrix: a lead, vesica-shaped (pointed oval) non-heraldic personal seal, measuring 39mm in length, 28mm in width, and 2.6mm in thickness. One end is missing; the complete end has no lug on the reverse, suggesting it is the bottom rather than the top (so the image shows the matrix upside down). It bears a central geometric motif of an eight-point star, surrounded by an inscription. Although the original description stated that a single line separated the inscription from the central motif, no sign of this can be seen in the photo, and the lack of a line may suggest an early date for this matrix. A partial inscription inscription can be read, suggesting that the seal matrix belonged to a woman. Turned the right way up, it reads S' MABLI [-]: DE [-] CLISC... (Seal of Mabel of ..clisc...) It is likely to be 13th-century in date. Compare KENT-178DF5.

KENT-FC5252: COIN
Silver post medieval coin: half penny of Henry VIII.

CPAT-E65B76: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy Wirral type bow brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. It is incomplete, missing its headloop, pin and catchplate. It is very worn all over making detail difficult to see. The head is slightly rounded and would have had steps up to the headloop. These steps could have been decorated although it is not clear on this example. The upper bow is decorated with three vertical channels which would have been infilled with enamel in alternating colours giving a chequer board effect. Only fragments remain of some orange enamel. Below these panels the bow curves back giving an angle of c.45 degrees. The bow then narrows towards the foot which is missing leaving the brooch to end in a point.

NARC-D9E653: COIN
Postmedieval coin: a hammered silver penny of Charles II (AD 1660-1685). The coin dates to between 1660 and 1662, as coins began to be milled, rather than hammered, in 1663. Spink 3327 North 2775

NARC-D9DE83: COIN
Medieval Irish coin: a hammered silver halfpenny of Edward I (1276-1307). This 'EDWARD' coinage was produced between AD 1279 and 1302, and the present example was minted at Waterford, where we know coin production ceased in AD 1295.

NARC-D9D388: COIN
Late Roman coins: Four worn copper alloy radiates or nummi. The coins have diameters of 13mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 17mm (left to right in images). All coins are heavily worn, but the example on the left is identifiable as a barbarous radiate, apparently copying an obverse of Tetricus II (AD 268-270) and a commemorative reverse type of Claudius II (AD 272-274). Nonetheless, barbarous radiates can be assigned to the period AD 275-285 (Reece period 14).

NARC-D9CD66: BROOCH
Iron Age brooch: Cast copper alloy Colchester one-piece, c.55mm long when straight, 13mm wide (broken) and 13m deep at the head. The brooch is in poor condition with a patchy green-brown patina, and weighs 3.36 grams. The pin is no longer extant, but part of the spring remains, showing with a ridge running its length, but no decoration is visible (perhaps simply an effect of its condition of preservation). Only a small fragment of he catchplate (closest to the bow) is intact, and it is not possible to determine whether it was perforated.

NARC-D9C934: NAIL
Cast copper alloy roundheaded stud, of probable Roman date. A precise date is difficult to determine. See Crummy 1983: 29, for pins with similar head morphology

NARC-D9C172: BELL
A conical cast copper-alloy bell, with openwork decoration and a large, faceted suspension loop. The clapper is missing, though iron corrosion product remains. The bell itself has a deep, even green patina. The bell has a circular base and the sides are very slightly convex. The upper half of the bell has crudely made triangular perforations, alternately apex-up and apex-down, There is no other decoration. The loop is lozengiform externally and has a circular perforation. This type of bell has been briefly considered by Schoenfelder and Richards (2011, 153-4). It appears to be a regional type of object on current showing, being confined to an area south of the Wash-Severn line. There is very little dating evidence to go on at present, but the externally angled and internally circular loop is paralleled among Roman finds (compare HAMP-ADCEE3).

SUSS-D69FA7: ROWEL SPUR
Copper alloy rowel spur of the 'dropped' neck type. The rowel is missing and the two sides of the spur are broken. The broken terminal from one side was found with main spur. Both loops on this terminal have smooth breaks due to old wear, the side is attached to one loop with the second loop coming off the first at a 105 degree angle to the side. The break on the side is rough but also patinated suggesting an old break. The sides are triangular in section with a flat inner side; the outer side is decorated with regular chevrons. The sides are 6.8 mm wide and 2.8mm thick by the terminal and 15.4mm wide and 6.1mm thick by the neck and have been bent away from their origional curve. The neck is short (11.7mm long) with a thick waist, thinning to either end. It is attached to the rowel box at a c.105 degree angle. The rowel box is curved, 32.1mm long, each arm is D-shaped in section and terminates in a loop with a central drilled hole 2.8mm in diameter. The rowel and pin are missing, the length from the pin hole to the inside of the rowel box (thus the maximum diameter of the rowel) is 18.3mm. The remaining spur weighs 46.4 grams, 49.2 grams including the detached terminal. It is 65.3mm long, 60.6mm wide and 30.8mm thick. The detached fragment of side and terminal is 27.9mm long, 14.7mm wide and 2.9mm thick.

CAM-D6FD51: MOUNT
Post-medieval copper alloy sword belt mount, probably dating to the sixteenth century. The mount has three tiers of foliate decoration, two rivet holes and a circular sectioned hook with a globular end. It may have been a component of a larger mount (Read 2001, vol.1 no.373). The object measures 46.50mm from the top point of the decoration to the bottom of the curve of the hook. Including the upward curve of the hook and the globular end, the object is 62.68mm in length. The maximum width of the object is 20.33mm, it has a thickness of 2.26mm and weighs 9.60g.

HAMP-D5AA40: STRAP FITTING
A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval sword-belt fitting. This strap-fitting consist of a mount with three suspension loops from which hang a trio of hooked plates; the scabbard straps would have been attached to these plates. The ensemble features foliate decoration on their visible faces. Such fittings are rarely found complete, rather elements or broken examples are far more common. However, an illustration of another complete sword-belt fitting can be found in Read (2001, 43; ref. 373). The suspension mount measures 68.15mm in length by 19.7mm in width at its trefoil terminals. It has the appearance of two conjoined, slightly overlapping hooked plates (see description below) with concomitant foliate decoration. Corroded iron rivets survive in all three perforations: one in the centre and one at each of the two terminals. In profile the mount is shallowly curved. The three integral loops depend from the mount (L.: c. 13.5mm, W.: c. 10.5mm, Int. dia.: c. 5.9mm), each with a hooked plate in situ. The hooked plates are all sub-triangular in plan and very slightly convex with a flat lower face. The tip of the hook is flush to the stem, thus holding it in place. The plates are c. 47mm to c. 49mm in length. On that on the right when viewing the ensemble with decoration uppermost, from the hook (W.: 4.25mm) the plate flares out to a width of 16.0mm. Aligned with the base of these side protrusions is a central circular rivet perforation retaining a corroded iron rivet; on the lower surface the hole is recessed. Below, the object narrows to a waist 9.4mm wide beyond these protrusions, before widening again to 17.3mm, 13.3mm from the terminal. Below these latter protrusions, and above the trefoil terminal, is another waist at which the plate narrows to 9.1mm. At the beginning of the trefoil is an off-centre perforation surrounded by traces of iron corrosion product on both surfaces; again the hole is recessed on the lower face. As implied above, the reverse is plain; the front, visible, face features an elaborate scrolled foliage pattern, split down the longitudinal axis, with incised fronds trailing towards the edges. The object now has a largely mid/dark-green patina with traces lighter corrosion product and the orange of the iron rivet. The reverse face also features possible tinning or solder residue. Such fittings 'proliferate in the 16th and 17th centuries' (Geake 2001, 35). Their design and decoration are relatively standardised, as can be seen in those recorded on this database, including this Hampshire example: HAMP-3DF447.

The outer edge is teardrop shaped in cross section and 6.2mm wide; it is decorated with 5 grooves, a central pin recess with a groove each side and grooves near the ends. The remains of a casting spur is visible on each side of the frame. The strap bar is narrowed and 1,9mm wide. The strap plate has broken into two pieces, one still attached to the buckle. The plate is folded over the strap bar with a slot for the pin and has one rivet hole; it is 31.6mm long, 16.4mm wide and a single part of the plate is 0.4mm thick. The plate is decorated on one side: the rivet hole is ringed by six smaller holes which do not have counterparts on the back so cannot have held rivets, around these is engraved a circle. The plate has broken aong this engraved curve. A similar buckle is known from a context of c. 1350-c. 1400 in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 439).

HESH-D4ED88: VESSEL
Rim sherd of a relatively thin walled unglazed coarseware pottery vessel. The sherd dates to the Roman period (50 - 410), however, not enough of the sherd survives to be certain of the form or size and without this a more specific date is difficult. The rim has a swollen outturned rim. The fabric is relatively soft with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit and ironstone inclusions. The fabric also contains considerable inclusions of mica / sand. The fabric colour is a mid grey colour. The outer surface of the sherd has been burnished to create a smooth surface. There is no evidence of decoration on the sherd. The sherd measures: 35.4mm length, 25.2mm width, is 14.2mm thick (rim), 5.3mm thick (body), and weighs 11.3 grams. A suggested diameter of the rim is 28cm, and the sherd represents only 4% of the rim. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated.

HESH-D49831: VESSEL
Undecorated sherd of Samian type Roman pottery probably dating to the 2nd century AD (120 - 220 AD). The sherd consists of a small foot and fragment of side wall. It probably represents a small cup or dish. The fabric is hard and fine grained with mica limestone and black iron ore inclusions. The fabric is assessed by observation of recent fresh breaks. The slip / glaze is relatively thick and a mid brown red colour. Where the sherds have been abraded the slip has been removed to reveal the buff orange brown coloured fabric beneath. This type of fabric and glaze is best compared to that of Central Gaul (Leroux) which is commonly found in Britain (www.worcestershireceramics.org). The sherd measures 42.3mm length, 41.6mm width, the base / foot is 5.8mm thick and the side was is 3.8mm thick. It measures 19.83 grams. A suggested diameter of the base / foot is 5cm, and the sherd represents 30% of the base. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated.

It has been pierced in the top corner using a square punch or nail. The piece is 36.7mm long, 26.4mm wide, 0.6mm thick and weighs 2.3 grams. It was possibly a decorative item hung from something such as horse harness where it would have caught the light and possibly made a sound as it hit againist other metal items.

YORYM-D346B5: SPOON
Manufactured copper alloy spoon, dating from the Post-Medieval period. The spoon is incomplete, with approximately half of the bowl and handle, respectively, missing. The handle is polygonal in section. The bowl is slightly concave and flat in section. The spoon appears to have been created from one piece of metal. No maker's stamp is visible.

YORYM-D32841: CLOTH SEAL
Cast lead cloth seal dating to the Medieval to Post-Medieval period. The object comprises a near-complete reverse disc with a fragmentary decorated, facing disc. There is a tag protruding from the reverse disc; this would have connected the two discs together. The obverse disc has raised decoration that is indistinguishable.

HESH-D331D6: VESSEL
A sherd from the base of a relatively thick walled unglazed pottery vessel; not enough survives to indicate the form or overall size, but it is probably from a relatively squat bowl or small container. The sherd dates to the late medieval or post-medieval period (1350 – 1600) and is irregular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The fabric is a relatively hard fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, and quartz inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric is a uniform red orange brown colour. Not enough of the vessels survive to suggest the size or form, however the sherd is not particularly plough worn and abraded, suggesting that it has not been in the ploughsoil long. The sherd measures: 68.1mm length, 28.4mm width, is 8.1mm thick (base), 7.7mm thick (side wall), and weighs 39.28 grams. A suggested diameter of the base is 10cm, and the sherd represents 27% of the base. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated.

HESH-D31F02: VESSEL
A cast copper alloy handle from a copper alloy vessel, probably a skillet, of later medieval date (1300 - 1500). The handle is complete and is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with a flaring expanded lower edge. It is broadly D shaped in cross section. The widest section, where it attaches to the vessel, is worn and abraded. It has a staggered L shaped section with the upper part projecting, presumably to connect to the rim of the skillet. The lower section of this terminal is rough – presumably to aid the soldering and fixing of the handle. From this widest end the handle tapers in both thickness and width to an irregular rounded terminal. The outer edge / upper part of the handle is decorated with a single vertical rib which continues the length of the handle. The handle measures 95.7mm in length, has a maximum width of 39.9mm (minimum 24mm), a maximum thickness of 16.3mm (minimum 10.3mm) and it weighs 159.25 grams. The handle is a mid green colour with an even patina. This patina has been abraded in several places, probably through movement in the soil. This movement has also damaged the edges of the handle producing an asymmetrical shape. In the areas where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion is present. Similar examples of handles from copper alloy vessels have been dated to the later medieval period (1300 - 1500).

YORYM-D2F544: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle of Marshall type IVC. The object is a single-looped ovoid buckle with a decorative knop (or possible swivel) on the outer loop. The knop has a collar; it is sub-triangular in section. There is recessed notch for the pin (missing) on the pin bar.

SUSS-D30CF2: COIN
Roman copper alloy nummus of Constantine II (317-340 AD), minted at Trier, reverse shows a camp gate with two towers and a star between the towers. The coin has been pierced by drilling equally from both sides, the hole is slightly worn.

YORYM-D2D4A3: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy annular brooch, dating to the Medieval period. The object is rectangular in section. There is a recessed notch for the pin attachment (the pin is missing). The face has a inscprition, but this is illegible. Similar examples are known from London.

YORYM-D2C4E5: SPINDLE WHORL
Cast lead spindle whorl dating from the Medieval to Post-Medieval period. The object is decorated with radiating lines with pellets between on both faces.

YORYM-D2A666: HOOKED TAG
Cast copper alloy hooked tag. The body of the tag is openwork, with the openwork consisting of drilled holes arranged in a row of one and three to the top right and left of a central moulded lozenge. The rectangular tag is intact, as is much of the hook (now flattened). There is a collar where the body of the hooked tag meets the hook.

HESH-D28CE1: COIN
Much worn and corroded radiate or nummus of later Roman date. All detail has been lost from both faces of the coin.

HESH-D27844: BALANCE
Irregular copper alloy bar with two broken and abraded terminals. This may be the remains of a composite set of balance scales, being one fragment of an arm balance. The bar is broadly cylindrical in shape, being slightly faceted on several of the faces. Both terminals are shaped with a series of irregular notches, presumably these notches are functional, wither to support small chains to suspend weighing pans or to aid the joining of two pieces of metal together with solder. The sides of the bar are notched slightly in several places and the outer edge of both sides is decorated with a number of incised lines in a diagonal direction. This is much obscured by the corrosion. The dating of this fragment is rather difficult. It is likely to either date from the Roman period (100-400 AD) or more likely the late medieval (1400-1600). The bar measures 74.1mm length, 4.7mm wide, is 4.8mm thick, and weighs 8.5 grams.

HESH-D27078: FURNITURE FITTING
Cast copper alloy furniture (box) fitting of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700). The fitting is irregular in plan and D shaped in cross section; the edges are beveled / faceted. Although originally cast flat the fitting has been bent at 90° in the middle so that it can fit onto a box, chest or piece of furniture. The bent elbow of the fitting is well achieved and deliberately thickened at this point to give extra support. The fitting tapers along its length to a pointed terminal. The widest upper part of the fitting is decorated with a simple V shaped terminal possibly decorated as the flight / feathered end of an arrow. Apart from this cast decoration the front face is plain. There is no evidence of an applied surface on either the upper face or lower faces. The reverse face of the fitting is irregular but broadly flat and undecorated. Two cast sub-rectangular projections (hooks) extend from either end of the fitting. Both of these are broken but both have a sub-rectangular shaped cross section. The upper fitting has been repaired and a small copper alloy pin has been used to secure the fitting to the furniture. The strap fitting is a mid brown green colour with an abraded patina that covers all surfaces. There is a small amount of light green powdery corrosion present on the body of the fitting; this coincides with the areas of most significant abrasion. The fitting measures 28.4mm x 34.7mm, 14.4mm width, is 2.9mm thick and weighs 5.76 grams.

HESH-D25067: VESSEL
Small irregular cast copper alloy fragment, probably from either a chafing dish or small metal vessel of later medieval or post medieval date (1400-1600). The fragment is most likely to be from a foot or leg; however its size may suggest it being a small lug or knop attached to the rim of the vessel. The edges are all abraded, with one edge being broken. It is irregular in plan being broadly sub-rectangular. In cross section it is broadly D shaped. There is no decoration present and the fragment is a light green colour. All surfaces, apart from the broken edge, have a heavily sooted or carbonised appearance. The broken edge is relatively fresh suggesting recent damage. A direct parallel has not been found. It measures 26.6mm length, 25.5mm width, is 16.7mm thick and weighs 30.49 grams.

YORYM-D22736: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Copper alloy object of uncertain function, probably Post-Medieval in date. The object is formed from folded sheet metal; one face is flat and undecorated. The other face has a raised rectangle in the centre, with a raised triangle on the similarly-shaped terminal. The other end is open; it is uncertain if this is broken, or if this essential to the function of the object.

HESH-D248C8: VESSEL
Cast copper alloy fragment from a vessel, dish or plate of probable late medieval or post medieval date (1400-1700 AD). Only a small fragment survives of a large circular or oval plate. It is irregular in plan and broadly sub-rectangular in cross section. The edge of the plate is bevelled and the other three edges are all broken. The breaks are relatively fresh – suggesting relatively modern damage. There is no decoration present, however the outer edge is heavily corroded and has a black carbon stained appearance. The fragment is a mid green colour with an uneven corroded and slightly encrusted patina. A direct parallel has not been found. It measures 66.2mm length, 29.2mm width, is 3.9mm thick and weighs 29.41 grams.

YORYM-D1F4E3: MOUNT
Cast copper alloy cruciform mount. The object is flat-sectioned. The terminals of the arms are flared; one is incomplete. There are two rivets on the reverse; these also show on the face of the mount.

YORYM-D1B736: HOOKED TAG
Cast copper alloy hooked tag of Read's Class E, Type 5. The object comprises an openwork trefoil body, decorated to resemble ropework. There is a single pellet above and to either side, with a rectangular bar above forming the attachment loop. The hook is broken with much of it missing.

YORYM-D1A085: STRAP END
Incomplete copper alloy strap end. The object is sub-rectangular in plan, flat-sectioned. The face has incised decoration showing an angular face with a cowl or hood.

YORYM-D16EF6: FURNITURE FITTING
A corroded and slightly damaged post-medieval furniture fitting: a cast and forged copper-alloy drop handle from a drawer pull. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape, with a constriction below an elaborate sub-square suspension loop, now broken. At the other, thick, curling end the handle is bifurcated with a rearward lug scrolling at both sides. The main field below the constriction features a raised triangular moulding. The constriction is formed of a semicircular cut out to each side. The extant loop is recessed with a rectangular perforation. An example of such a later Stuart drawer-pull can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 162; ref. 1086). For a complete example from Norfolk see this database: NMS-567517.

YORYM-D12874: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Lead disc with serrated edge. There is a cut or possibly a tear at the centre of the disc. The function of the object is uncertain; it was possibly part of a pastry jigger or buzz disc.

HESH-D12236: VESSEL
A cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval date (1300 - 1500). The leg is complete and is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with a flaring expanded upper edge. It is broadly D shaped in cross section. The width also tapers from the top to the base. The upper part of the foot flares to form a wide semi-circular pad whose inner surface is concave. This widest piece would have been soldered to the body of the vessel. The outer edge of this upper part of the foot is decorated with a series of small scallop shaped ribs which continue the length of the foot. The base of the foot terminates in a rounded blunt point. The angle of the leg, when the foot is placed on a horizontal surface, is approximately 80°. The leg measures 49.5mm in length, has a maximum width of 47.9mm (minimum 19.8mm), a maximum thickness of 27mm (minimum 13.4mm) and it weighs 102.82 grams. The leg is a mid green colour with an uneven patina. This patina has been abraded in several places, probably through movement in the soil. This movement has also damaged the edges of the leg producing an asymmetrical shape. In the areas where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion is present. There is a significant quantity of black soot or a similar carbon deposit adhering to the lower part of the leg. Similar examples of feet from copper alloy vessels have been dated to the later medieval period (1300 - 1500).

YORYM-D0A121: PIN
Cast copper alloy kite-headed pin dating from the Early Medieval period. The lozenge-shaped (kite) head has beaded nodules on the corners. There are no other visible signs of decoration.

DENO-B03376: DRESS HOOK
Post medieval dress hook; incomplete cast copper alloy dress hook of probable 16th century date. This fragment is the plate of the dress hook, with both the top loop and the bottom hook missing. The plate is of openwork design, having a central floral design surrounded by 7 sub-circular loops. Length 24.1mm, width 17.5mm, thickness 1.5mm, weight 1.68g Ref: Compare Bailey, pages 95 (Figure 12), especially object 12.11

DENO-B022D2: SPINDLE WHORL
Spindle whorl; cast lead spindle whorl with ring and dot decoration. This is a small, circular spindle whorl of double convex shape, coming to an edge around the centre. It has a large, circular, central hole with concave internal sides. Both faces are decorated with 5 large, ring and dot motifs in relief around the edge. All the rings are incomplete as they would extend beyond the edge of the spindle whorl. Spindle whorls are difficult to date with any accuracy as items of similar design were used for many centuries, from Roman times to the early post medieval period. However, the style of the design on this spindle whorl suggests that it may be of late Roman or Early Medieval date. Diameter 21.3mm, thickness 9.6mm, weight 17.64g

DENO-B00F03: COIN
Post medieval coin; struck silver sixpence of Charles I, North’s group F, dating to 1639-1640. Triangle mint mark. Obv. Crowned bust of the king facing left, with denomination ‘VI’ behind. [CARO]LVS:D:G:MA:BR[:]FR:ET:HI:[REX] (with double pellet stops) Rev. Squared royal shield over cross fleury .C[HR]ISTO.AVSPICE.REGNO.

DENO-AFFFA8: JETTON
Post-medieval jetton; Struck copper alloy French jetton, probably of late 14th or early 15th century date. The inscription is a variant of “Ave Maria Gracia Plena”, or “Hail Mary, full of grace”. Obv. Crown with large central lys, wedge-shaped side fleurs, three small lys across the band and cross-hatched bottom section. AVE.MARIA.GRASIA.PLENAD Rev. Cross with lys at the terminal of each arm and a quatrefoil at the centre. The whole in a quatrefoil border with three small lys in each interstice of the border. No inscription. Diameter 25.2mm, thickness 1.2mm, weight 3.31g Compare the similar tokens recorded on the PAS database as GLO-6ED2D8, NARC-25A571, SF-66D5B4 and DENO-7C77A4

DENO-AFF831: BOOK FITTING
Cast gilded copper alloy book clasp of Howsam type A.9.2. It is incomplete, consisting of part of an openwork plate with a complex tapering terminal section. The plate has a central quatrefoil boss with incised lines indicating that the lobes represent petals or leaves. This was surrounded by four openwork, curved loops, two of which remain complete, together with a section of the third. A small rivet hole also remains between one of the complete loops and the fragment of the third loop. There would presumably have been a similar one on the opposite side of the plate, at the point of the present break. The plate is topped with a large and elaborate terminal. There is a small knop on either corner of the mount and a long, tapering projection from the middle of the edge of the plate. This projection expands to an ornamented square lozenge and then tapers to an abraded point which may be a debased animal head. There is a separate ornamented square set atop the lozenge and a large circular hole on the back. The plate is of quite thin metal but the terminal projection is much thicker and chunkier. There are traces of gilding over the whole of the front face of the object but the back seems undecorated. Length 64.0mm, width 29.8mm, thickness 11.1mm, weight 33.36g. See record SUR-322ED5 for a book clasp of similar type, although considerably smaller. The hole on the reverse would have fitted over a peg on the opposite cover, and there would originally have been a hole at the end of the animal-head terminal which would have held a loop or ring to help in pulling the clasp off the peg. This is an unusual example of the type.

DENO-AFF103: BUCKLE
Medieval buckle; cast copper alloy single loop buckle with integral, decorative buckle plate. This buckle probably dates from the period c.1250-1400. It has an oval buckle loop with a decorative knop extending from both outer corners. The back of the loop narrows to the point where the pin bar would have sat, although this is now missing, together with the pin. The buckle plate extends beyond this, tapering past two transverse ridges, one at the point of the pin bar and the other slightly further back. The second ridge is cut by a single, circular rivet hole. The buckle plate then continues to taper, before flaring into two moulded ‘leaves’ surround what was presumably a decorative terminal which is now missing. It seems fair to assume that the terminal also held a second rivet hole and the edge of this is indicated at the point of the break. Length 32.2mm, width 12.1mm, thickness 2.8mm, weight 2.79g Refs: See Chris Marshall’s “Buckles Through the Ages” series from Treasure Hunting magazine, originally published in 1986. Pages 9 & 10 (Section 5 “Medieval 13th to 15th century”) describe similar buckles, designating them ‘Type 1D’. See especially buckle number 27 which is very similar. Whitehead, pages 34-35 also shows some similar buckles.

DENO-AFE8D3: BROOCH
Medieval brooch; cast copper alloy annular brooch with gilding and a ‘dagger’ style pin, of probable late 13th or 14th century date. The brooch is formed of a ring of copper alloy, which has been twisted to decorative effect, although unusually the twisting is only on one half of the ring, the other half being a simple, untwisted band. The band has a short, narrow pin bar. The pin is fastened around the pin bar by the metal of the pin dividing into two flat bands which are wrapped around the pin and joined at the back. The pin itself is roughly oval in cross section with a broad collar near the pin bar. It then tapers to a point, giving it an overall dagger shape. There are traces of gilding over the whole brooch. Diameter 21.1mm, thickness 2.9mm, weight 3.97g

DENO-AFDBC5: BUCKLE
Medieval brooch; cast copper alloy annular buckle with gilding and unusual pin. This brooch probably dates to the 13th century. It is formed of a simple ring of roughly circular cross section, with a short, narrowed section forming the pin bar. The pin is a flat band of copper alloy which is wrapped around the pin bar. It expands shortly beyond the pin bar to form an integral, cylindrical setting for a stone. The setting still contains a white paste, presumably the fixant for the stone, which is now missing. The pin is broken of shortly after the stone setting. Gilding remains over much of the surface of the brooch. There is no obvious evidence for how this brooch was actually attached to a garment since the stone would impede the use of the pin. Diameter 24.2mm, thickness 3.2mm, weight 5.17g Compare the similar brooch recorded on the PAS database as DENO-750F57.

DENO-AFC9B0: STRAP END
Medieval strap end; cast copper alloy forked spacer from strap end of late 13th-early 15th century date. This would have formed the inner part of a three part strap end, with a plate attached to either face. This inner section is therefore a spacer to hold the decorative outer plates in place. It is cast in one piece with two long, narrow ‘tines’ which meet at a squared arch. The end of one of the tines is broken and missing. There is a single, circular rivet hole in the middle of the arch, indicating where the outer plates were fixed to this inner spacer. A decorative knop extends from the middle of the arch and this would have been visible beyond the outer plates, forming the overall terminal of the strap end. While the tines and arch are flat, the knop expands to a roughly oval cross-section and is shaped with a narrow collar then a broader, flaring section which is decorated with incised cross-hatching. It is topped with a small cone. This design is quite common and is thought to represent an acorn. Length 49.3mm, width 20.3mm, thickness 2.2mm, weight 6.21g Refs: Compare the examples in Egan & Pritchard, pages 140-145 including figs 93 and 94, especially examples 672, 673 and 675, illustrated on page 144. There are further examples in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan’s book on the archaeology of Meols. See pages 134-136, including plate 23, objects 1555-1568.

DENO-AFB8A1: BUCKLE
Medieval buckle; tiny, cast copper alloy, single looped, D-shaped buckle frame. This is a very simple buckle so difficult to date with any accuracy, but I suspect it belongs to the early part of the medieval period, probably 12th – 15th century. It has a flat, narrow pin bar and the buckle frame is roughly oval in cross section. The frame expands towards the back. Length 11.3mm, width 11.6mm, thickness 2.5mm, weight 0.59g

DENO-AFA858: JETTON
Medieval jeton; struck copper alloy French jeton of 15th century date. The jeton has a cross initial mark and versions of the same legend on either side. The inscription is ‘Ave Maria Gracia Plena’, or ‘Hail Mary full of grace’. The design on the obverse is known as the "Chatel Tournois", the Castle of Tours design of the town of Tours, suggesting that this may be of the Tournai mint. Obv. Central lys atop an ornate triangle above three pellets. The triangle and pellets within an annulet-tipped bar which surrounds the sides and bottom of the design. The whole above another annulet-tipped bar, this one straight and horizontal. A further lys to either side AV[E MARIA] GRACIA PLE Rev. Cross with elaborate lys a the terminal of each arm and a small lys within a lozengiform void at the centre, formed by the expansion of the arms.

DENO-AF8F42: BROOCH
Roman brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, ?West Midlands), cf.Mackreth 2011, 4.l.b. Plate 49. Very large, cast copper alloy Polden Hill brooch of flat wing ends type. The brooch has short, wide wings of oval cross section, each with a raised ridge around the end. The back of the wings has a large lump of rust-coloured iron corrosion surrounding the stubby remains of the hinged pin, indicating that the pin was made of iron. The bow of the brooch curves up and over the top of the wings. It is decorated with a broad band in relief running vertically over the wings and down to a large, circular stud at about the middle of the bow. The bow is undecorated beneath the stud, tapering to a small foot boss in the shape of a curled scroll. The catchplate is complete and curves elegantly down from the back of the bow, behind the stud. It is rolled at the edge to catch the pin and is decorated with an openwork, triangular void cut to follow the shape of the plate. The whole brooch is in excellent condition and the metal has a smooth, even, red-brown patina over its surface. Length 80.4mm, width 33.9mm, thickness 16.8mm, weight 48.19g Ref: Compare the brooches in Hattatt, page 300 (fig 159)

DENO-AF8831: HARNESS PENDANT
Medieval harness pendant; cast copper alloy harness pendant with remains of enamel, probably dating to the 14th century. The pendant is of shield shape with a stalk extending upward for suspension, although the suspension loop is now missing. The front face of the pendant has a heraldic design cast into it. It is quite worn but seems to be a rearing beast, facing left, with one forepaw raised into the top left corner and its tail curling up behind its back. There are traces of enamel left in the top left corner and at the apex of the shield. The apex has some blue enamel and the rest is a creamy colour, suggesting that it may originally have been yellow or red. The back face appears undecorated, although the surface of the metal is pitted and corroded making close identification difficult. Length 37.2mm, width 26.8mm, thickness 1.9mm, weight 8.18g

DENO-AF76A7: BROOCH
Roman brooch; fragment of cast copper alloy T-shaped brooch, Wilford type, dating to the 1st-2nd centuries. The fragment consists of the remains of the wings, the head and the top section of the bow of the brooch. It is very worn but it can be seen that there is a decorative boss at the head of the bow with incised lines and some moulding in relief, possibly representing an animal head. There are two further incised lines below this and the fragment breaks off just below these lines. Much of the original surface of the metal is missing. Length 21.2mm, width 21.6mm, thickness 5.8mm, weight 8.42g Ref: See the brooches in the bottom row of Hattatt, page 302 (fig 161), especially brooch 915

DENO-AEBF93: KNIFE
Roman knife handle; cast copper alloy folding knife handle in the shape of a stretching lion, dating to the 1st or 2nd centuries. The handle has a flat, crescentic back terminal with a small, circular hole pierced in one side. It then curves in to form a long, narrow handle with a moulded boss to represent the lion’s rear haunches. The handle thickens slightly towards the animal’s head, which is very finely moulded with small, pointed ears, pronounced brows, indented eyes, a long nose and incised lines to suggest the muzzle. The beast’s forelegs extend from beneath the head, stretching out in front of the lion to grasp the front folding blade of the knife. The remains of that blade are still present, attached by an iron pin through the two sides of the front of the handle. However, the blade seems unusual in that it is flat and smooth on both edges with neither coming to a cutting edge. Also, it curves upwards shortly beyond the attachment pin and this is a deliberate shaping rather than the result of later breakage or corrosion. There is a small, ragged, broken edge at the top of the blade, which suggests that it would have originally curved up in front of the lion’s head (or stuck out downwards below its head when folded away). There is a fitting to attach a second blade below the joint of the flat, crescent piece and the long handle. This is somewhat obscured by iron corrosion, suggesting that it too was fastened with an iron pin. None of this second blade now remains. The underside of the handle has a deep groove to receive the blades. This groove is segmented by a narrow ridge running across it, approximately at the point of the lion’s front ‘armpits’. This leaves a short space for the front, curving blade and a longer one for the rear blade. There are traces of gilding remaining in places over the surface, especially in the grooves which received the blades. Length 71.9mm, width (crescent) 15.7mm, width (at head) 5.5mm, thickness (at head) 10.4mm, weight 14.79g Ref: This is very similar to a knife handle described and illustrated in Mills, page 86, artefact R258.

CPAT-A77448: BROOCH
This Roman fibula in copper alloy is a typical Roman dolphin bow brooch, consistent with the 1st century AD. The brooch is incomplete with the pin and lower section of the bow missing. There is evidence of iron staining within the head, indicative of the presence of an axis bar. The wings do not fully enclose the axis bar. The brooch is heavily corroded.

HAMP-980387: JETTON
A highly corroded copper-alloy 'show' jetton of an English style struck at Nuremberg in around the first quarter of the 18th century. This jetton is unparalleled in Mitchiner 1988 (see 'Notes' below for discussion, but cf. Mitchiner 1844a)

YORYM-90FFE5: SPUR
Cast copper alloy spur attachment terminal. The object comprises the double-ring terminal of a spur. The terminal is heart-shaped with a collar at the base where it meets the side. The side is narrow where it meets the terminal and widens slightly before the break.

CPAT-86C198: TOILET ARTICLE
This Roman copper alloy object is most probably the mortar, or base element of a cosmetic grinder. There is a turned over finger/suspension loop to one end and the surface is heavily corroded.

CPAT-866BB5: BUCKLE
This is an elaborately designed post medieval double loop buckle in copper alloy. The square double loop is complimented by pierced foliate design surrounding the central buckle. The pin is missing, the gentle curve to the frame of the buckle places its use as that of a mid 17th century shoe or, spur buckle buckle.

CPAT-85FC64: BUCKLE
This is a simple late to post medieval double loop oval buckle in copper alloy. The pin is missing and the surface is heavily corroded. There is evidence of a typical scallop shell motif on the outer edge of each loop and on the outer points of the strap bar.

WMID-83C814: SPUR
An incomplete copper alloy fragment of a medieval spur. The fragment consists of the side and terminal parts of the spur. The object consists of a straight arm and, at one terminal, two pierced lugs forming a figure of 8 design transverse to the arm. The lugs are circular, but one is incomplete. On the front of the object, between the lugs, there is a raised triangular design, flanked by two horizontal grooves. The arm expands from the lugs, and rather than being flat, it is slightly uneven in profile. It is broken at the point of a raised design (with a transverse curved edge). The arm is broadly D shaped in profile, although the back is slightly curved rather than being straight. The object weighs 6.51g. It is 52.2 mm long, 16.9 mm wide across the figure of 8 terminal, and 4.35mm thick. It has a green brown patina, with a more powdery light green corroded surface in parts. There is also a dark brown/black raised area towards the broken terminal on both the front and back of the object. This may represent the original surface. The figure of 8 terminal is a Type B (ii) terminal type identified in the Museum of London’s “Medieval Catalogue” (1940, p95). Prick spurs with similar terminals and arms are identified in the “Medieval Catalogue” (Figure 31 - objects 1 (A1356) and 2 (A1967)). Terminals would have held rivets or hooks, attached to straps to secure the spur to the wearers footwear.

WMID-839E02: WEIGHT
A cast lead (alloy?) disc shaped object which may be a weight, token or gaming piece. The front of the object features a concentric rib within the disc, and a raised border around the circumference. The inner rib stands in slight relief of the border when the object is viewed in profile. There is a raised pellet in the centre of the front of the disc, and two “Y” shaped designs with internal pellets, also raised, joining the inner rib with the central pellet. There is also a further rib, in low relief, between the inner rib and the border. The reverse of the disc is plain, although the border is in slight relief. The disc has a circumference of 35.1mm, a maximum thickness of 4.9mm, and it weighs 28.26g (1 oz). The surface of the piece has a light to dark brown colouring. The object has some damage to the raised border and inner rib. The object has similarities with the flat weights decorated with concentric circles illustrated in “Lead Weights” by Biggs and Withers (2000), and its mass may support this application (i.e. 1 oz). Lead tokens from the medieval and post medieval period are extensively discussed in Mitchiner and Skinner 1983 and 1984, and their possible purpose as workers tallys (e.g. tallying of bushels or perhaps the scoring of where a picker left at the end of a session) are highlighted in D M Powell (2004). The object also has some similarities with database object LEIC-067CD6, recorded as a token or gaming piece. The possible applications above would suggest a medieval or more likely post medieval date for this object.

WMID-838547: BELL
Incomplete cast copper alloy closed (rumbler) bell (cast pellet bell). The bell consists of a pair of hemispheres soldered together and an internal iron pellet. The lower hemisphere has two circular perforations, joined by a linear aperture. The upper hemisphere has two circular apertures and an integral suspension loop, which is incomplete. The lower hemisphere is decorated with linear grooves radiating from one side of the linear aperture. On the other side of the aperture is an indistinct design within a semicircular design, beyond which linear grooves also radiate. The linear aperture also has a linear groove to either side, running parallel to it. The object measures 40.1mm from the top of the suspension loop to the base of the bell, and has a width of 32.3mm. It weighs 27.64g. The bell has a smooth green patina, although there are areas where a lighter green rougher surface is visible. There are also areas where the surface has been removed and there is a more pitted, brown/green surface visible. Margeson (1993, p213) notes that the cast pellet bell is known from the early post medieval period through into the 18th and 19th centuries, in a range of sizes, probably most frequently for horse harnesses. The example described in this record is very similar to object 1760 in figure 162, which is considered to be 18th century.

CPAT-837541: SPINDLE WHORL
This is a Roman to medieval lead spindle whorl of bi-conical shape with a central fixing/hanging hole. One side is decorated with a zigzag or star pattern, with raised pellets within the sectors. The other side has what looks to be a runic or perhaps, pseudo runic raised inscription.

WMID-837414: KEY (LOCKING)
A medieval copper alloy rotary key. The bow is broadly lozenge shaped in plan, and consists of five circular perforations, the smallest approximately at the centre, with larger perforations in the four corners. The two largest perforations are in line with the shank. Whilst broadly lozenge shaped in plan, the external edges of the bow are rounded, following the curves of the internal circular perforations. Where the curved lines meet (approximately in the centre of each side of the lozenge), there are double grooves. There is a knop at the terminal of the bow. The shank is ovoid rather than circular in section and flares to form a distinct collar where it joins the bow. This collar may have some transverse linear grooving, but the condition of the metal at this point makes this rather indistinct. The shank has a central perforation within its terminal above the large bit. The bit has three clefts between the four wards, all of which are transverse to the shank. One face of the bit has two channels and the other has one channel, all of which are offset from one another. The bit is joined to the shank on only 15.1mm of its 24.8mm length, the two being separated by a 2.4mm wide cleft at the terminal of the shank. The key weights 72.14 g. It is 129.9mm long, with a maximum width of 31.1mm (across the bow) and a maximum of 9.1mm thick (at the bit). The rotary key has a smooth green patina, but on some areas a corroded, lighter green powdery pitted surface is present. There is also some soil on the key. In he Museum of London's "Medieval Catalogue" (1940 p133-144), Ward Perkins has introduced a classification system for door and chest keys. The key described in this record is most closely related to his Type VI. Ward Perkins describes the type: "They are characterized by the solid shank, bored at the end to leave a conical hole, by the massive bit, and by the elaborate form of the bow. The latter may be lobed or lozenge-shaped or a combination of both, and occasionally the corners of the lozenge are elaborated" (p140). Ward Perkins dates a number of closely related copper alloy keys of Type VI to the 14th and 15th centuries, and this may be an appropriate date range for this key.

WMID-835786: PALSTAVE
A copper alloy low flanged (broad blade) palstave dating from the Middle Bronze Age (1500-1150). The transverse butt is slightly uneven and incomplete. The septum is flat on both sides of the palstave. Flanges surround the septum, except at the butt. These flanges increase in height towards the blade, with the zenith at the curved stop. The protruding stop is positioned over a third of the way down the palstave. There is a loop between the stop and the blade on one of the sides of the palstave. There is some visible evidence of casting flashes running down the centre of both sides, but this is rather indistinct. Below the stop the blade flares outwards towards the curved blade tips which are splayed. The blade has a heavily curved faceted/bevelled cutting edge. Below the butt, and running approximately half way down the blade, is a decoration formed by a raised “V” with a raised sub-triangular design nested within. This points towards the blade. The palstave has a dark brown patina. It is in very good condition other than a number of pitted areas of the surface, an incision on one side of the blade, and some damage to the cutting edge, blade tip, and butt. The maximum dimensions of the Palstave are 138.5mm long, 66.6 mm wide at the blade, and 34.9mm wide across the butt. It is above the maximum weight of the scales used. Building on work by Smith (1959), Schmidt and Burgess (1981, p128) identify a group of palstaves as Early Palstaves Group III: Low Flanged (Broad Blade) Palstaves. These always have a broad blade, splaying to a fan shape, and wide at the edge. The palstave described in this record appears to fit most closely within this category. Furthermore, within Group III, this palstave appears to most closely fit into the Type Carleton. These are looped low flanged palstaves with an expanded edge and protruding blade tips. The decoration is usually a version of the trident pattern, either an all ribbed trident or a long rib bisecting a shield. A similar example to the palstave described in this record is catalogue reference 829, in Schmidt and Burgess (1981, plate 60), although this has a more distinct midrib than the example described in this record. Schmidt and Burgess (1981) argue that the Low Flanged (Broad Blade) palstaves were a logical development from the shield pattern and early midribbed palstaves which preceeded them. They also suggest that, based on evidence of hoards, the type were superseded by Smith’s (1959) transitional form. The palstave fits within Needham’s Period 5 (Middle Bronze Age,1500-1150).

SUSS-82FEB5: FIGURINE
A copper-alloy hand from a figurine. The first two fingers are extended in the gesture of benediction, suggesting it came from a figure of Christ or a saint. The hand is moulded at the front to indicate the palm, with the fingers outlined by grooves that appear to have been scratched into the metal rather than cast. The tips of the two extended fingers have broken off in antiquity. The back is flat. At the wrist is one groove marking the sleeve and then the metal juts out all around at right angles and has rough edges from an old break. This remnant of the rest of the figurine is widest at the back of the hand, where it is 2.4mm wide and 1.4mm thick. The wrist end is flat and smooth, suggesting either a hollow centre or that the the hand was fixed into the rest of the figurine, which was not metal. The remaining part is 27.1mm long, 10.0mm wide, 4.7mm thick and weighs 4.6 grams.

LEIC-810C52: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, West Midlands), cf. Mackreth 2011, 4.a-4.b, 4c, Plate 46. It is 30mm long, 20mm wide and 10mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 7.45grams. The brooch has short semi-circular wings which are missing the spring. The bow is broad and has an uneven surface with traces of a ridge running down its centre. The reverse has a casting ridge, but is missing its catchplate.

LEIC-810313: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, Midlands), cf. Mackreth 2011, 4.f. Plate 47. It is 30mm long, 27mm wide and 14mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 6.32grams. The brooch has semi-circular wings which contain a spring of eight coils. The bow is semi-circular in section and is decorated with a central ridge of small raised squares which terminates in a chevron formed of two raised diagonal lines. below this point the brooch is damaged but the start of the catchplate can be seen.

HESH-80F5D6: BROOCH
Incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill, Mackreth 2001, 4.b-c) of Roman date (80-120 AD). The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated wing / end caps. The wing caps are incomplete and the axis bar and spring are lost. The spring would have been formed from a length of copper alloy wire which would have attached by an external chord to a rearward facing hook. This hook is located at the centre of the wings on the upper edge of the head of the bow. The bow head of the brooch is hump-like, and angular. The bow is D shaped in cross section. It tapers to a broken edge above the foot. On the reverse face of the bow is a small vertical rib which is badly abraded but would have expanded into a crescent shaped catchplate. The lower half of the bow has been bent to form a tight U shape. This must have occurred prior to deposition as there are no stress fractures in the metal or patina. The brooch measures 17.1mm length, 18.6m width (across the wings), 6.6mm wide across the bow, is 4mm thick and weighs 6.8 grams. The brooch is relatively plain and the only decoration present are two cast ridges at the junction between the bow of the brooch and the wing cases, and similar ridges on the ends of the wind caps. The brooch is a mid green colour with an even and mostly unabraded patina. Where abrasion has occurred it is slight and has only affected areas on the outer edges of the brooch. Similar styled brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches pp 300 fig; 159 and Bayley and Butcher: Roman Brooches in Britain pp 89-92.

LEIC-80F377: WEIGHT
Undated lead alloy weight, 30mm in diameter and 9mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a grey patina and weighs 59.3grams. the object is circular in form and rectangular in section and has no decoration.

HESH-80E735: BROOCH
Incomplete copper alloy two-piece Colchester derivative (Dolphin) bow brooch of Roman date (43-150AD). The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated wing / end caps. The wing caps are missing and the axis bar and spring are lost. The spring would have been formed from a length of copper alloy wire which would have attached by an external chord through a raised pierced rib. This rib is located at the centre of the wings on the upper edge. The rib extends across the centre of the wing casing and forms a D shaped projection (similar to that seen on Trumpet brooches. This projection has been pierced and would presumably take the axis bar to give it added stability. The bow head of the brooch is hump-like, and slightly angular. The bow is D shaped in cross section. It tapers to blunt foot. On the reverse face of the bow is a slight vertical rib which is badly corroded and abraded. It would have expanded into a crescent shaped catchplate. The brooch measures 45mm length, 24.4m width (across the wings), 7.9mm wide across the bow, is 3.7mm thick and weighs 8.57 grams. The brooch is decorated with a series of cast designs. The cast designs are limited to the upper face of the wing cases and bow. The design consists of a vertical line of pellets extending from the rearward facing rib at the head of the brooch to the terminal of the blunt foot. Similar vertical moulded and cast designs are present at the tips of the wing casing. The brooch is a mid green colour with a corroded and abraded patina. Where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion product is present. This affects all parts of the brooch. Similar styled brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt’s Visual Guide to Ancient brooches pages 298-299, fig; 157-159 and Bayley and Butcher: Roman Brooches in Britain pages 82-88.

BERK-7EC943: STIRRUP
Cast copper alloy Early Medieval stirrup mount dating to the 11th century (c.1000-1100). The mount can be categorised as Williams (1997) Class A, Type 16. It is rectangular in shape with a right-angled flange at the base and a semi-circular pierced lug at the top. There is ferrous (iron) corrosion on the lip of the flange from the worn iron rivets. The item is symmetrical in design and decoration. The front design consists of a large eared animal's head with a pointed nose. Below this and to the sides the design is less clear but is comprised of stylised blocks and scroll-work. The reverse is plain. Stirrup mounts connected the leather strap of the harness to the stirrup. David Williams has produced a classification of these mounts: Williams, D. 1997 Late Saxon Stirrup Strap Mounts: A Classification and Catalogue - See page 79 for good parallels of this item. Dated c.1000-1100 AD.

HESH-7EDC87: STRAP FITTING
Cast copper alloy strap fitting (belt mount) of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700). The strap fitting is irregular in plan and domed (convex) in profile; the edges are beveled / faceted. The overall decorative design consists of two lobed terminals connected by a flat rectangular bar. The terminals are likely to have been decorated with scallop shells however all detail has been lost through a combination of corrosion and abrasion. There is no evidence of an applied surface on either the upper face or lower faces. The reverse face of the fitting is irregular but broadly flat and undecorated. Two cast sub-rectangular projections (hooks) extend from either end of the fitting. One of these is broken but both have a sub-rectangular shaped cross section. These hooks would pass through the strap leather and hold the fitting in place. The fitting measures 18.1mm length, 8.9mm width, is 5.1mm thick and weighs 1.02 grams. The strap fitting is a mid brown green colour with an abraded patina that covers all surfaces. There is a small amount of light green powdery corrosion present on the body of the fitting; this coincides with the areas of most significant abrasion. Similar examples of strap fittings can be seen in Brian Read's book 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' (pages 34-37).

HAMP-7E9682: SEAL MATRIX
A fragmentary cast copper-alloy seal matrix of medieval date. The matrix is of pointed oval shape, with a low central longitudinal ridge on the reverse that would have terminated in a semi-circular suspension loop. The die features a central motif within a border surrounded by a personal legend. Insufficient of the motif survives to make a proper suggestion as to the depiction, although what can be seen does look slightly 'bird like'. The legend reads: '[+ S' RI]C?ARDI : GR...' ('Seal of Richard? Gr...). This matrix is highly worn and abraded with a triangular nick in its edge and the break that deprives us of over half of the original object.

HAMP-7E61B4: BUCKLE
A small cast copper-alloy medieval single-looped buckle with integral plate. The frame is broadly rectangular with a circular-sectioned outer edge which is offset to accommodate an extant sheet roller. The roller is decorated with incised transverse incisions. At the end of the frame is a semicircular plate element which is perforated to take the extant pin. Adjoining the semicircle is a circular element which makes up the rest of the small plate. This is convex, bevelled in the same manner as the semicircle. It covers an integral rivet on its lower surface which retains a damaged circular rove. Buckles of similar size and construction are suggested to be from spurs pending further evidence (see Clark ed. 1995, 150-151; fig. 109).

HAMP-7E13B4: MOUNT
A copper-alloy gilded mount of medieval date. The object is flat and rectangular with incurved edges. The sides are slightly bevelled on the upper surface. At each corner of the mount is a circular perforation, two of which (diagonally opposed) retain a copper-rivet with shallow dome head (L.: c. 6.6mm). At the end of one of the rivets is a square sheet rove which has had one of its corners bent upwards. Traces of gilding survive on the upper surface of the mount although no decoration can now be discerned. The mount is otherwise yellow-green over a red-brown metal, the colour of which is consistent with gilding. The shortness of the rivets and the presence of the rove suggest that this might have been mounted onto a strap rather than anything thicker.

HAMP-7DDA88: AMPULLA
A fragmentary cast lead-alloy medieval pilgrim's ampulla. The artefact is flask-shaped, but only part of the lower chamber survives after an old diagonal cut. On one side one part of the suspension loop/handle lug survives. The ampulla is decorated bifacially, on one side with a shield in relief, and on the other with a four-petalled flower. The shield has a flat top and rounded base. It is quartered by a wide cross containing fine cross-hatching; less fine cross-hatching can be found in each quarter. The flower has petals with double borders and central ribs. There is a line between each petal radiating out: four lines in saltire. A similar ampulla can be found illustrated in Spencer (1990, 90; ref. 185). The faces are both slightly concave, albeit the object has suffered much damage, including bending, over time.

SWYOR-7D1296: THIMBLE
A cast copper alloy thimble from the post medieval period. It is 20.7mm high and has a diameter of 18.8mm. The walls are 1.6mm thick at the base. The thimble has a domed top and is decorated with very small sub-circular indentations that are probably punched. They are arranged in horizontal lines. There are many areas of surface corrosion, so it is not possible to see if they are in a spiral or whether there is a tonsure. The indentations are unusually small, and suggest that the thimble was used for delicate work (Holmes 1987). The thimble probably dates from the seventeenth or eighteenth century.

SWYOR-7D0764: CLOTH SEAL
A cast lead alloy cloth seal from the post medieval period. The seal consists of a disc with a broken projecting loop. The disc is stamped on both faces but the designs are worn and difficult to interpret. There is a circular complex geometric pattern on one face, and what could be a crown on the other. The seal has a creamy yellow patina. It is 36.1mm long, 30.1mm wide and 3.1mm thick.

SWYOR-7CF9A3: STRAP END
A copper alloy forked spacer from a medieval strap end. The strap end would have been circular with a trapezoidal attachment end. There is an acorn shaped knop projecting from one end. The centre is a flat and circular ring with the arms of the forked spacer projecting at the other end. A plate would have been attached to both sides of the spacer, with the strap between the forks and fixed with a rivet. The plates and rivet are missing. Similar spacers can be seen in Egan and Pritchard’s “Dress Accessories” on page 141. They are believed to date from the fourteenth century. This example has a broken bar projecting into the middle of the circle. This may have formed a bar across the circle dividing it in half. This could suggest that the spacer is from a buckle with an integral plate. If so, a slightly later date is likely. The spacer is 42.4mm long, 22.5mm wide and 5.2mm thick. It has a patchy light patina.

ESS-7CEC12: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: nummus fraction (half-nummus) of Constantine, dating 310-13AD, Reece period 15. Reverse type SOLI INVICTO. Minted in Trier. Die axis 6 o'clock. Diameter 15.19mm, thickness 1.55mm, weight 1.02 grams. RIC VI p 228 no 899

SWYOR-7CE7C2: COIN
A medieval silver coin; a cut half penny of Henry III (1216 – 1272), short cross coinage (1216 – 1247), probably class 6b (c.1218 – 1223). The coin was probably minted in London and the moneyer was Abel. The coin is 18.4mm long, 8.8mm wide and 0.7mm thick. It weighs 0.6g. For reference see North Volume 1, number 975.

ESS-7CC325: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: Nummus of the House of Constantine (Constantius II or Constans), dating 347-8, Reece period 17. Reverse type VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN]. Mint unclear. Die axis 6 o'clock. Diameter 12.91mm, thickness 1.37mm, weight 0.80 grams.

SWYOR-7CD581: SEAL MATRIX
A lead alloy seal matrix from the medieval period. The matrix is a pointed oval shape and has a central raised rib on the reverse which expands into a loop at one end. On the front, the central motif is a fleur-de-lis. This is a common motif which may have been a stock design. The legend reads + S' WILLI FIL' ADE MARSCAL (seal of William, son of Adam Marshal). The term 'marshal' was used for a farrier or shoer of horses. The matrix probably dates from the thirteenth century. It is 38.7mm long, 25.9mm wide and 10.6mm thick. It has a light grey patina and is in very good condition for a lead matrix.

SWYOR-7CBD08: BUCKLE
A copper alloy buckle from the post medieval period. The buckle is 45.8mm long, 36.8mm wide and 3.3mm thick. It is asymmetrical with a gently pointed and widened outer edge, a narrow central bar with projections from the frame at each end of the bar, and a narrowed and rectangular second loop, with a recessed bar across the end and slightly projecting sides. Traces of silvering survive. The buckle probably dates from the sixteenth or seventeenth century (Whitehead, 2003).

LVPL-7CA4A6: RING
Cast copper alloy ring, probably dating to the Post-medieval period. It is rectangular in cross-section and plain on both faces. This type of ring is very difficult to date precisely as rings were used throughout the ages.

LVPL-7C98E2: FERRULE
Copper alloy sheet ferrule from the Late-Medieval/Post-Medieval period. It has broken at both ends and is filled with mud.

LVPL-7C92E4: BUTTON
18/19th century cast copper alloy livery button. It is slightly convex on the upper face. The attachment loop is missing.

Roman copper alloy coin: Nummus of the House of Constantine, dating c330, Reece period 17. URBS ROMA issue. Minted in Arles. Die axis 12 o'clock. Diameter 16.90mm, thickness 1.61mm, weight 1.66 grams. RIC VII p270 cf no 343

LVPL-7C8834: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle with an integral plate, probably for spurs, dating from the early 13th century to c.1500. The frame is circular and leads to a narrow rectangular plate which narrows towards an extended tab around the hole for attachment. There are two holes in the plate, one at this end and one close to the frame. The pin consists of a piece of sheet copper alloy hooked over. Similar examples can be seen in the Meols volume on page 103 (Griffiths, Philpott and Egan; 2007; plate 17, nos. 772-3)

LVPL-7C2392: ROTARY KEY
Cast copper alloy Medieval rotary key from the 13/14th centuries. It is almost complete but there is a small piece missing from the end of the shank. The shank is hollow and the bit is slightly bent. The bow is lozenge-shaped and has 4 circular perforations, one in each corner. On top of the bow is a hollow circle, lay flat on top of the bow. This is perhaps for hanging from a chain. Where the bow and the shank meet there is a moulded collar. There is a single bit which is not complete. It is symmetrical with a cleft on either side and then a narrower section of the bit. This is a very nice example of a Medieval key.

ESS-7C1321: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: nummus an uncertain tetrarchic ruler, dating to AD 294-305, Reece period 15. Reverse type GENIO POPVLI ROMANI. Die axis 12 o'clock. Diameter 24.74mm, thickness 2.17mm, weight 4.19 grams.

LVPL-7BFE71: COIN
Silver groat of Edward II (1327-77) dating to 1356-61, Series F, North no.1174. A fragment has broken off at the bottom of the coin meaning some of the legend is missing.

ESS-7BFCE1: COIN

LVPL-7BD156: COIN
Copper alloy dupondius, probably of Vespasian. It is very worn and corroded.

CORN-72FD04: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy brooch, circular in plan and flat in section. The edge of the brooch is defined by a ropework border, made up of groups of four raised oblique lines, alternating with plain sections. The interior of the decorated face holds a central bifid arch of foliage, ending in three points, and bordered above by nine circular beads and below by seven. This pattern, with internal foliage and external beading, resembles a 'paisley' print, brought to Scotland from India in the early 19th century. There are more patterns of foliage above the arch, but most of these are obscured by the iron corrosion product that surrounds the moulded decoration. There is extensive corrosion on the back of the brooch, which may suggest that the brooch originally had a backing plate of iron or steel which also held the pin. Bailey (1993) illustrates similar brooches on page 23, Nos.16 & 21, of base metal and gold respectively, which have similar decorative motifs, and are dated to c.1887-1920. Read (1988) illustrates a sheet gold and forged iron (back plate) solitaire, with foliate decoration, on page 188, No.1327; and a sheet and cast copper-alloy brooch, with moulded fleurets and curvilinear lobed knops around the edge, on page 189, No.1341, both of which are dated to the 19th century.

CORN-71FB50: MULLER
Fine-grained granite elvan muller or rubbing stone. The muller is oval in plan, with two rounded ends, and plano-convex in section. The muller is flat and smooth on the face that was used for rubbing, and convex on the opposite face, where it was held and pushed across a base for grinding. The muller would have been used with a larger saddle quern to grind grain between the stones to make flour. The elvan is a fine grained granitic inclusion and contains pale pink felspars and black quartz. The soft felspars would work into hollows and the hard quartz would stand proud of the surface, thus allowing a shearing action to cut and grind the grain. There are also random black patches of tourmaline and a distinctive circular tourmaline vein, but not enough to suggest that it was reoccurring within the granite. The shape of the muller suggests that it was made from a beach cobble. Jones (2002) illustrates a similar example excavated from Callestick on page 29, Fig.13, No.95 which is dated to the Later Bronze Age, c.1100-700 BC. Nowakowski (1991) illustrates a similar elvan example excavated from Trethellan on page 142, Fig.57, No.89, which dates from the Middle Bronze Age, c.1500-1200 BC.

SWYOR-6DC678: HORSESHOE
An iron horseshoe dating from the post medieval or modern period. The shoe is 134.6mm long, 131.5mm wide and 16mm thick. It has a fuller (groove) on the ground surface in which the head of the nails would sit. This is characteristic of post-medieval and later shoes. The front of the toe is missing, so it is impossible to tell if there was a turn-up at the front. The shoe does not appear to have calkins (thickened areas at the ends of the shoe). It is somewhat corroded, which may explain its great weight of 612g. The shoe is also very wide, another feature that suggests a date in the seventeenth, eighteenth or nineteenth centuries (Clark 1986). The nail holes are obscured by corrosion.

ESS-6DC8D5: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: contemporary copy (Barbarous) radiate dating 275-85AD, Reece period 14. Die axis 5 o'clock. Diameter 12.53mm, thickness 1.67mm, weight 0.77 grams.

SWYOR-6D85C8: COIN
A copper alloy early medieval coin; a styca of Aethelred II (841 - 849). The moneyer is Wulfred. The legends are retrograde. The coin has a diameter of 12.1mm and is 0.6mm thick. For reference see North number 188 or 190. The coin is sealed in a coin envelope so has not been weighed.

SWYOR-6D6F30: PIN
A copper alloy pin which appears to have traces of a tin coating. The pin is 51.4mm long, and has a diameter of 5.3mm at the head. The head is sub-spherical with a flattened top. There is no collar. The shaft tapers to a point and is slightly wider in the middle than at either end. The pin is complete. It probably dates from the Roman period (Geake 2001) but could also be Early Medieval.

ESS-6D67E2: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: nummus of the House of Constantine, dating 347-8D, Reece period 17. Minted in Lyons. Reverse type VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN. Die axis 12 o'clock. Diameter 14.07mm, thickness 1.40mm, weight 1.21 grams. RIC VIII p180 no38ff.

BERK-6D2938: HARNESS MOUNT
Complete cast copper-alloy probable harness pendant hanger or possible buckle plate dating to the later Medieval period. The main body of the item is square and slightly convex with a central circular rivet hole. A double looped terminus extends from one side and is folded back on itself. The item is undecorated and is too corroded for any observations about surface coating to be made. Dated c.1250-1450 AD.

ESS-6D51C4: COIN

Die axis 6 o'clock. Diameter 18.18mm, thickness 2.04mm, weight 1.53 grams. RIC V, pt 2, p. 569, cf. nos. 128-9. This coin has been considered for Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.

BERK-6CD795: BROOCH
Incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative Harlow 2.d brooch, The brooch is a Colchester two-piece type where the chord and axis bars of the spring are both secured through a central lug on the wings. In this case the spring, head of the brooch and a short length of the upper bow are all that remains. The bow and wings are undecorated. Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue...Ancient Brooches', p.297. Brooches of this type are typically dated to the first century, c.50-100 AD.

Roman copper alloy coin: radiate of Victorinus dating 269-71AD, Reece period 13. Gaul mint I. Reverse type probably PAX AVG. Die axis 6 o'clock. Diameter 19.50mm, thickness 1.72mm, weight 2.41 grams. Cunetio p148 cf no 3530ff

SWYOR-6CE2B4: VESSEL
A ceramic vessel rim sherd from a Roman flanged vessel. The sherd is 70.5mm long, 36.4mm wide and 21mm thick. It consists of the rim and downward pointing flange. The wall of the vessel appears to be curved vertically, suggesting it was a rounded bowl. The fabric is a fine sandy grey-ware with wiped striations on the outer surface. The flange sticking out from the top of the vessel is believed to have aided handling of the full vessel (Laing 2003).

BERK-6C9B41: BROOCH
Incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch, The brooch is of Langton Down type with the wing part forming an enclosed tubular spring casing and the bow being broad, flat & tapering from top to bottom. In this case the spring, pin &lower part of the bow are missing. The bow is decorated with three pairs of slightly raised ridges which run lengthways down the bow whilst what remains of the spring casing appears to be plain. Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue...Ancient Brooches', p.306. Brooches of this type are typically dated to the first century, c.40-100 AD.

SWYOR-6CC717: CHISEL
An iron tool which may be a chisel or pick. It has a head which is circular in section but the top is not flattened as would be expected from hammer blows. The end may be an ancient break. There are shoulders below the head where the tool changes to a rectangular section and starts to taper to a wide point. This end is also irregular and looks likely to be an old break. One face of the tapered end is very rough and there is a step at the top suggesting that the original surface may have flaked off. The tool is 69mm long, 33.3mm wide and 30.2mm thick. The blade is 32.2mm wide at the tapered end, and is 3.8mm thick. The object bears some similarities to Roman mason’s picks from the Catalogue of Romano-British Ironwork in the Museum of Antiquities, Newcastle upon Tyne by Manning (1976), but it looks like the broken end of a pick, except that it has definitely shaped shoulders, which suggest that the tool was not much bigger than it is currently. It thus seems more likely to be post-medieval in date, though it still seems uncomfortably short for a tool that had to be hit.

ESS-6CA857: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: radiate probably of Victorinus dating 269-71AD, Reece period 13. Probably minted in Gaul mint I. Reverse type probably PAX AVG. Diameter 17.49mm, thickness 1.56mm, weight 1.72 grams. Cunetio p148 cf 2530

SWYOR-6C8326: COIN
A silver post medieval coin; a twopence of Charles II (1660 – 1685), undated issue (probably 1660 – 1668). The coin has a diameter of 14.2mm and is 0.75mm thick. For reference see Spink Standard Catalogue number 3387. The coin is probably machine made. The coin is sealed in a coin envelope so has not been weighed.

SUR-6C6F44: STIRRUP
A stirrup-strap mount of Williams' Class A, Type 5 (though without the long neck which typifies this series (and very similar to no 94 in Willimas 1997)). The face of the mount depicts a pair of Scandinavian-inspired beasts, both with pointed oval eyes, facing down and joined by a single union knot. One of a pair of lower iron rivets remains as well as the edge of the apex rivet hole. This example may retain a silver wire inlay in its decoration, although this is unclear.

ESS-6C7737: COIN

SWYOR-6C2985: SEAL MATRIX
A copper alloy finger ring with four bezels, each a seal matrix. The ring has a plain flat band with is slightly oval in section. Each bezel is oval and each has a different design cut into it. They are all arranged with the long axis along the band of the ring, but the designs have different orientations. The first is orientated with the narrow ends at top and bottom. The design is a shield with a flat top and a pointed bottom bearing a bird (probably a hunting bird) facing left (described from the matrix). Above the shield are the letter WI (IW on the impression). The next bezel is horizontally aligned. It bears a cockerel facing left (described from the matrix). The next, also horizontal shows a bird of prey walking left (from matrix), holding a small animal in its beak. The final matrix is horizontal but the opposite way up to the others. It shows a quadruped with a long tail and one paw raised, facing left (from matrix) with its tongue projecting. It looks like a dog but may be intended to be a lion. The ring has a diameter of 34.1mm and is 13.4mm thick. Seal matrixes with multiple designs are known, but no parallel for a multiple-device finger ring has been found.

ESS-6C1E32: COIN

SUR-6C12C7: COIN
A Scottish twentypence of Charles I

BERK-6BFDB3: TOKEN
Complete cast lead token of probable late Medieval to early Post-Medieval date. The obverse shows the initials R ?I with pellets surrounding whilst the reverse carries a concentric circle design of 3 rings with central pellet and 4 radiating linears. The exact use and date of such tokens, which are a frequent find, is unclear. It is likely that they were used as a form of pseudo-money, tokens, tickets or perhaps even as gaming pieces. Dated c.1400-1700 AD.

SWYOR-6BF9E6: PATTEN
An iron hoop from the bottom of a patten. The hoop is made from a band of iron standing on its side and bent into an oval loop. The band is 5mm thick and 11.6mm high making an oval which is 145.9mm long and 100.1mm wide. At each end of the oval is a projection vertically upwards which then bends outwards at a 90 degree angle. One projection is broken, but the other has a trilobed terminal. The wooden sole of the patten would have been attached to the top of these projections with nails. The iron part of the patten is 29.5mm high. The wooden sole, any part of the upper and the nails do not survive. A patten was an over-shoe worn to give the wearer extra height to keep their shoes and the hem of their skirt out of mud. They normally consisted of a wooden sole attached to an iron hoop which provided the height, with a leather toe and sometimes also a heel piece and leather straps with buckles to attach the patten to the shoe or foot. Leather pattens for indoor use to give the wearer extra protection against the cold are also known (Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition by Geoff Egan, 2005). References to pattens are known from as early as 1390, but it is believed that early ones may have been made entirely of wood and that the type with an iron hoop did not come into widespread use until the post medieval period. Many iron hoops can be dated to the seventeenth century, and this is also likely to be the date of this example.

SUR-6BEF65: COIN
A penny of Henry VI, Annulet issue. Mint of Calais.

BERK-6BE997: WEIGHT
Complete cast lead weight of probable post-Medieval date. The weight is cylindrical in shape, plain on the base and with a stamped design on the top. The design appears to be a crown on top of something that is not entirely clear but is likely to be lettering perhaps referring to the reigning monarch or the weight of the item. It weighs 26.7g (NB. 1 ounce = 28.35g) Dated c.1500-1700 AD.

A cast copper-alloy strap-fitting of medieval date (c. 14th century AD) consisting of a stud (L.: 7.65mm) and depending loop. The stud is circular, shallowly convex, with a square sectioned shank. Extending from one end is a loop which expands towards its rounded terminal. Towards the terminal is a tear-drop shaped removal. The terminal has been bent upwards slightly. Traces of gilding survive on the depression between stud and loop, and also on the stud's head. The metal is largely a red-brown colour as is consistent with the gilding process.

SUR-6B6D63: COIN
A Roman Republican denarius.

SUR-6B54F7: BUCKLE
A buckle with a long integral plate which ends in a hook. There were two separate rivets, one of which survives. The frame is oval and the copper alloy pin sits in a round hole. The plate is decorated with two panels which contain zigzag decoration. The buckle may originally have been gilded but there is now no trace of this.

SUR-6ACD33: BADGE
A large hollow-backed cast copper-alloy heraldic badge or mount, now bent, in the form of a probable horse's head on a cushion. The hair is indicated by incised lines. Three lead patches on the back suggest fixing positions (to a carriage?). The face of the mount is almost black and might suggest some form of surfacing.

SUR-6AA285: BRIDLE BIT
A complete openwork one piece circular bridle boss of Openwork Multifoil Type (Maslin, 2020) with two attachment holes for rivets. Emerging from the surrounding flat plate is a boss with a central dome, pierced with eight holes in a square pattern, with a small central finial. There are eight equally-spaced projections around the edge and a further eight apertures within the plate. The boss has cast decoration of foliate shapes.

YORYM-6A1A42: BUTTON
Cast lead alloy button, probably dating from the Post-Medieval period. The object comprises a flat-sectioned disc with a pair of perforations in the centre. The reverse is not decorated. The face has heavily worn and damaged raised decoration around the perforations; this comprises a narrow band of knurling, with a straight, plain rib through the centre of the circle.

HAMP-6A2BF3: TUMBREL
A cast copper-alloy artefact of medieval date: probably the terminal fragment from a tumbrel, or coin balance (c. 14th century AD). The arm is perpendicular to the rectangular terminal (tray) and has broken at the perforation that would have taken the axis bar. The arm is bent backwards and is broken at both ends of the perforation (L.: 8.8mm, W.: 4.7mm, Th.: 3.2mm). The tray is rectangular, thin and flat, apart from a moulding just below the loop. This moulding is a raised transverse rectangle with central transverse removal (Th.: 2.8mm): alternatively, two rectangular ridges. The field is seemingly plain and features a number of file marks; the reverse surface is characterised by even more and cruder file marks. The object now has a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Egan (1998, 329; fig. 245); cf. also SUR-3BB5D2 on this database.

HAMP-69F4B5: COIN
A worn and slightly bent silver mid 13th-century cut halfpenny of Henry III (probably Classes 2-3), uncertain moneyer, possibly Northampton mint (c. 1248 - c. 1250 AD)

YORYM-69C7E1: THIMBLE
Copper alloy thimble, dating to the late Medieval to early Post-Medieval period. The object has irregular punched circular decoration. The thimble has been crush slightly, distorting its shape. Part of the side has been torn, but is still intact. The weight given includes the soil within the thimble.

YORYM-69A8C2: THIMBLE
Copper alloy thimble, probably dating to the late Medieval to Post-Medieval period. The object has been crushed flat. There is stamped or punched decoration of small circles. The crown is partially torn away from the body of the thimble, but it appears that none of the material is missing.

YORYM-68EB84: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle of Marshall type IB. The object is a single-looped, D-shaped buckle with a thickened pin rest. The pin rest has a notch and incised linear decoration. The pin is attached to a recessed pin bar. There are small knops to either side of the pin bar and pin rest.

HAMP-68CBA1: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete cast copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date (c. 14th century). The artefact is of unusual form, having a convex trilobed terminal, evocative of a three-toed foot or paw. Uppermost is the suspension loop, circular with central perforation (L.: 12.3mm, W.: 6.2mm, Th.: 2.2mm); it is perpendicular to the main body of the pendant. The loop stands forward of the bar attaching it to the main body of the pendant. This main body expands to the trilobate terminal at which two triangular removals form the 'toes'. The upper surface of the body is in the same plane as upper edge of the suspension loop. Traces of gilding survive in the recessed areas of the upper surface: the triangular removals and the bar of the suspension loop. The pendant is otherwise a red-brown colour consistent with the gilding process.

YORYM-68D6F7: SPINDLE WHORL
Cast lead spindle whorl, probably dating to the Medieval period. The object is circular in plan, with a central perforation. Decoration on one face comprises moulded radiating ribs; on the other face, the moulded ribs are more widely-spaced with raised pellets between.

YORYM-68BEE8: THIMBLE
Copper alloy thimble. The object is very small, and was probably used by a child. The thimble has stamped or punched decoration of small circles. There is a lip at the base of the thimble; there are no signs of turning.

YORYM-687C73: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy trumpet brooch. The object has a classic form, with a trumpet head and D-shaped profile. There is a mid-bow encircling moulding with a lozenge motif. There are very worn raised ribs forming a collar above, and possibly below, the moulding. There is very little surviving of the catchplate.

YORYM-685BF2: MOUNT
Cast copper alloy mount for a belt or other strap. The object is a bar mount with a solid central lobe. The central lobe of the mount has cross-hatching resulting in three rows of tiny raised squares. The two terminal knops have rivets intact; from the reverse, there is a recessed band around the perforation for the rivets.

LIN-685F26: COIN
Silver cut halfpenny of Henry II, Class 6a1 (c. 1209-1217). The 'x' is deeply seriffed as per North, page 219, fig. 37.

YORYM-680251: WEIGHT

LIN-67D6B4: JETTON
Pierced Nuremberg jetton.

LIN-67C2B6: BUCKLE
Anglo-Scandinavian cast copper alloy buckle. The buckle is D-shaped and has a narrowed bar. The lip is expanded, elaborate and openwork executed in Winchester style. The motif is very worn however it is made up of a tight web of perhaps foliage. The lip terminal has a large bulbous terminal, and there are three smaller bulbous parts in an arc below. Published in Hammond (2013, 40; fig. 1.2-d).

HAMP-67B065: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper-alloy single-looped, oval medieval buckle frame with thickened rectangular outside edge. There is a pin groove central on the outer edge. The pin bar opposite is narrowed and offset. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame is thick and rectangular in cross-section.

LIN-679DD6: VESSEL
Incomplete Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy bucket mount. The mount is flat, thin and decorated with incised motifs. The mount is essentially rectangular with a downward curved extension at either side, thus resembling an enlongated letter 'm'. There is a rivet hole in the centre at the top, and also at either curved terminal. The mount is decorated with a perimeter of punched dots. There are four vertical lines of punched triangles on the main body, with three sets of transverse lines of punched dots in each cell created by the vertical lines. The curved terminals resemble animal heads, and the decoration indicates that they are horses. Each terminal curve has two curved lines of punched dots along the neck, with a thick row of punched dots forming a mane along the back of the neck. The rivet hole forms the eye.

LIN-676201: BUCKLE
Incomplete Anglo-Scandinavian copper-alloy buckle frame of 11th-century date. The buckle is roughly D-shaped but not quite symmetrical, and the frame is wide and rectangular in cross-section. The bar is missing. The frame has five rounded knops decorating the exterior perimeter; one additional knop is missing. There are eight ring-and-dot motifs evenly spaced along the surface of the frame. The object has a brownish-red patina. This buckle was found in the same place as LIN-4D2C91 which is likely to be its partner. Similar buckle frames can be seen on the PAS database at BH-82CF20, NMS-DF54C4 and NMS-E11876, and one from a 12th- to late 13th-century context in Norwich has been published (Margeson 1993, no.128).

NMGW-674C73: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Trumpet-headed, Wroxeter variant Type dating to the 2nd century AD The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin, foot and chain-loop, and has a surviving length of 34.6mm and has a weight of 6.8g. At the rear of the trumpet head has a semi-tubular hinge mechanism and the remnants of an iron axis bar. The trumpet-head is oval (14.1mm x 8.6mm) and has an integral chain loop above the head. The loop is damaged but was on a decorative rectangular panel (8.8mm wide) with horizontal ribbing. The upper bow has straight, near-parallel sides (7.9mm wide) and is of rectangular section with a thickness of 3.0mm. The bow was decorated with three vertical and rectangular cells, intended to hold enamel (now missing), probably in a checkerboard pattern. Beneath the enamelled cells is a central circular knop (4.5mm diameter and 2.7mm high) for a button. The leg is of D-shaped section with straight sides, converging towards the absent foot. The beginning of the catch-plate is evident on the rear of the leg. The top of the leg, on the rear has a single horizontal incised line, 5mm above the beginning of the catch. The brooch has generally-poor surface preservation with a mid-green patina.

HAMP-673D47: STRAP FITTING
A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy medieval strap-loop/slide with a perforation central on its inner edge for a separate internal rivet and rove (now missing). It has five sides, including an outwardly arched outer edge. The outer edge is slightly bevelled both uppermost and lowermost. The external faces of the strap fitting bear visible file marks. Similar examples from London (e.g. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 232; ref. 1252) tend to be from later 14th-century contexts.

HAMP-670E37: STRAP FITTING
A slightly worn cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a pair of short pointed internal projections (c. 2.7mm in length). It is trapezoidal in shape with rounded corners. The artefact is flat on both upper and lower faces and is seemingly plain. The projections lie closer to the inner edge. A similar example can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234; ref. 1258). Many such trapezoidal examples have been found in 13th-century contexts.

NMGW-65B2A4: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy disc brooch of wheel type and dating to the late 1st- early 2nd century AD The brooch is near-complete, missing an area of the rim and the pin, and has a weight of 7.7g. The brooch has a hinge mechanism with twin lugs, now badly corroded and a copper alloy axis bar. The circular brooch frame has a diameter of 34.4mm. The rim of the brooch projects above the surface (with a thickness of 2.1mm) and has no peripheral lugs. The outside ring or felloe is comparatively wide at 7.0mm with a faceted internal panel, forming a low central ridge. The inner edge of the felloe also has a raised rim. The brooch has four arms of trapezoidal section and straight parallel sides. The central boss is circular (with a diameter of 7.1mm) and has a waisted side. The top of the boss is also concave and has an integral projecting knop of 2.7mm diameter, giving the brooch a height of 5.9mm (10.7mm overall depth). The brooch has good surface preservation with a pale to mid green patina. File marks from the finishing of the brooch are evident on the reverse. The brooch is similar to Green's (1982) Type 1b, but without ribbing on the arms.

CORN-5E39D1: COIN
Brass dupondius of Trajan (AD 98-117), countermarked with a a laureate design. It is assoicated with Antioch and was added before the Jewish Revolt of AD132-5. It has been suggested that this countermark relates to Hadrianic activity in the East. The other countermark in front of the head is unclear, but possibly of the same type.

CORN-5D4081: COIN
Copper alloy contemporary copy of a radiate, copying a coin of Tetricus II, SPES AVGG reverse, probably struck c.AD 275-85 Cunetio, p. 164, c.f. no. 3033

DENO-59D9D4: WEIGHT
Possible lead weight; small sub-circular lead object, possibly a weight. The artefact is concave on one face and slightly convex on the opposite face. It is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, grey-white patina. Diameter 19.0mm, thickness 12.5mm, weight 25.35g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-59D3F6: SPINDLE WHORL
Spindle whorl; cast lead, sub-circular spindle whorl with cylindrical piercing hole in the centre. The whorl is decorated on one face with shallowly-incised lines forming broad bands of herringbone (or possibly foliate) design which radiate out from the central hole. The other face is undecorated. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Diameter 28.8mm, thickness 10.4mm, weight 56.4g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-59CD16: SPINDLE WHORL
Possible spindle whorl; cast and hammered lead artefact formed of a flat, broad band of lead curled round to make a ring. The ends of the band are not joined, although they are touching. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Found in close proximity to a number of lead spindle whorls, suggesting that this may have been used for a similar purpose. Alternatively this could have been a convenient method of transporting the unworked metal. Diameter 21.7mm, thickness 9.3mm, weight 21.14g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-59C686: SPINDLE WHORL
Fragment of spindle whorl; broken piece representing about half of a cast lead spindle whorl. The lead is misshapen with an extra, rough bulb on one face. The other face shows the usual circular shape with a small circular hole piercing the whorl around the centre. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Diameter 26.5mm, thickness 6.1mm, weight 10.97g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-59B0A1: SPINDLE WHORL
Possible spindle whorl; cast lead, bun-shaped weight with narrow (approx 4mm), circular piercing hole. The weight is circular with one flat surface and one convex, domed surface. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Found in close proximity to a number of lead spindle whorls, suggesting that this may have been used for a similar purpose. Alternatively the piercing could have been to allow the weight to be secured to something else, or even to adjust the specific weight of the item. Diameter 27.5mm, thickness 7.5mm, weight 32.68g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-59AA81: SPINDLE WHORL
Spindle whorl; broad, flat, cast lead spindle whorl of narrow cross-section. The whorl has a small, cylindrical hole through the centre. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Diameter 37.1mm, thickness 7.2mm, weight 65.3g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-59A377: SPINDLE WHORL
Spindle whorl; cast lead sub-circular spindle whorl of small diameter but broad thickness. One face has a ridge around the outer edge where extra lead has rolled back on itself. The whorl is pierced with a circular hole, slightly off-centre. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Diameter 23.3mm, thickness 12.2mm, weight 36.30g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

DENO-598FC7: SPINDLE WHORL
Spindle whorl; Cast lead spindle whorl of basically cylindrical shape, with slightly convex outer edge. The whorl is slightly raised around both the outer edge and the edge of the piercing hole, giving both faces a concave shape, or the feeling of a channel running around between the outer edge and the central hole. The hole is circular and cylindrical. Undecorated. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina. Diameter 24.5mm, thickness 8.2mm, weight 27.75g Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.

SUSS-58B464: FINGER RING
Copper alloy finger ring of uncertain date. The ring is made of wire which is circular in section, 2.7mm in diameter. A short piece of wire has been bent in a circle so the the two ends overlap; both ends have been hammered flat. One end has been hammered into a flat strip, 8.2mm long, 4.7mm wide by 1.4mm thick, the other has just been brought to a wedge shaped end. This type of very simple ring is hard to date, examples are known from the Iron Age onwards. The size and simplicity of this example suggests it may have been made for a child.

LIN-586163: HARNESS PENDANT
Cast copper alloy horse harness pendant and hanger. The hanger is plano-convex, solid and has an integral stud on the reverse. There are two arms below suspensing the pendant. The pendant is in the form of a quatrefoil with plano-convex terminals.

Possible lead die for making copies of 2nd issue shillings of Elizabeth Ist. The object is an irregular flat piece of lead, with the impression of the reverse of a shilling of Elizabeth Ist in the centre. The edge of the lead is damaged at either side which intrudes on the coin impression. It is not clear whether the damage is modern or contemporary. The groat impression measures 29.72mm in diameter. The object may be a forgers die, or perhaps just the result of someone messing about with lead.

LIN-57F8D4: COIN
Medieval silver cut farthing, Henry III, mint probably London.

LIN-57EBF3: BUCKLE
Incomplete copper alloy buckle plate. The plate is flat, rectangular and has two arms that loop round on to the reverse plate. There is a copper alloy rivet in the centre. The perimeter is decorated with a zig-zagged line. The surface has been gilded.

LIN-57C813: CLOTH SEAL
Incomplete flat rectangular cloth seal. The seal comprises two rectangular plates riveted together at the complete end. The obverse shows the name of the searcher, reading over two lines: RICHA[RD]/GRIC[ ]. The reverse is very worn and only the number 2 is visible. This belongs to a series of seals with rectangular parts, all having the full name of the searcher on one side, and on the other a proforma stamp for length, weight and width of the particular textile (Egan, 1994, 86). The searcher concerned is probably the same Richard Grice who was a cloth searcher on the River Calder at Sowerby Bridge. He was recorded in the order book at the first appointment of searchers in the West Riding of Yorkshire, which took place at the Quarter Sessions held at Halifax on 13th July 1738. See Edward Law's websit (http://homepage.eircom.net/~lawedd/WOOLLEN.htm) for more details. Seals of other woollen cloth searchers recorded by Edward Law as being appointed in 1738 are known from actual finds, such as James Kershaw (SUR-AD5735). There are several on the Bagseals website (http://www.bagseals.org/): Joshua Hinchcliffe (BSG.CS.00963); George Haigh (BSG.CS.00318) and William Dyson (BSG.CS.01248). Thanks are due to Paul Cannon for the correct identification of this item.

HAMP-57B9A4: JETTON
A slightly bent and corroded early 17th-century copper-alloy jetton struck by Hans Schultes III (fl. 1608 - 1612 AD) at Nuremberg (Mitchiner 1416)

LIN-5777B2: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Large flint end scraper made from a potlid. The flint is a mottled mid-brown colour and the working is at one end and along one side. At the end the working is on both faces of the flint. The dorsal surface is covered with cortex.

HAMP-576311: BUTTON
A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy button of early post-medieval date. The button consists of a solid, shallow plano-convex head with a slightly off-centre integral shank, 9.6mm in length. The shank expands slightly to a maximum width of 5.95mm. Its attachment loop is finished with an off-centre perforation and rounded terminal. The head has a small central pellet, radiating out from which are eight scrolled petals. Such floral or solar decoration on buttons with similar bosses can be seen in Bailey (1995, 19; ref. 10) and Meredith et al. (1997, 7). The examples illustrated in these books are dated to the 16th or 17th centuries. This example is a dark red/brown colour with an overlying light green patina.

LIN-576772: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle and buckle plate. The plate is a flat trefoil with an incised perimeter and three bulbous-headed copper alloy rivets though it. There are two arms that wrap around the frame and join again on the reverse to meet two of the three rivets. The frame is rectangular and has a narrowed pin bar. The two side arms are concave and the lip is ribbed. The copper alloy pin is intact. The entire object has been gilded although most of it is now missing.

LIN-575803: TOKEN
Lead post-medieval token. The token is flat, circular and has the letters E.B in the centre on the obverse. There token has a moulded floral perimeter, and what may be a fish or a spring of foliage above and below. The reverse is undecorated.

LIN-573EF0: TOY
Incomplete lead toy watch or clock. The clock is a flat circular piece of lead with a moulded decoration on the face. Around the perimeter is a band containing transverse lines, however they do not appear to match the lines one would expect on a clock-face. There are two incomplete lines of what appears to be text, however the surface is so worn that it is hard to determine. Approximately half of the face is missing.

HESH-573696: BROOCH
Incomplete cast copper alloy plate brooch of early Roman date (50-150 AD). The brooch is broadly oval in plan with a sub-rectangular projection at either end. The edges of the brooch have been heavily abraded resulting in a considerable loss of metal. The brooch measures 28.6mm length, 16.3mm width is 5.9mm thick at the hinge and 1.7mm thick across the central plate. It weighs 2.51 grams. The front face is relatively flat in profile with a series of geometric (circular) cast designs. At the centre of the plate is a shallow recess which may originally have held enamel. Around the outer edge of the plate are two concentric circles forming a border, both of these have been cast. The rear of the brooch is also flat with a central rib from which the hinge and catchplate are formed. On the upper edge are the remains of a hinge plate consisting of two ribs which have been pierced to hold the pin. The axis bar and pin were probably formed of Iron as a localised area of iron corrosion is present. At the opposite edge to the spring are the remains of the catch-plate. This is cast integral to the brooch and is sub rectangular in plan and profile. The majority of it has been lost through a combination of abrasion and corrosion and the pin rest is missing. The brooch is a mid-dark green colour with an even but abraded patina which covers all surfaces. The brooch has been distorted by movement in the plough soil and this is most evident on the external faces. This plate brooch is similar to a number recorded in a Catalogue of Richard Hattatt’s Ancient Brooches all of which have been dated to the mid to late 1st century AD figure 201-202, page 342-43 especially examples 1561 and 510. Two similar brooches are also noted in Bayley and Butcher: Roman Brooches in Britain p 122-3, a good parallel for this example are 348-49 both are dated to similar periods as those in Hattatt’s catalogue.

YORYM-56E894: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle dating to the Medieval period. The object is a single looped D-shaped buckle frame with a pointed outer edge and offset (but not narrowed) bar. There is a groove on the pointed outside edge, forming the pin rest. The bar has a small indentation in the centre of its external edge to retain the pin and/or a plate. The whole buckle frame is rather irregularly shaped and carelessly made. There is some iron corrosion on the surface, particularly on the bar, probably from an iron pin. Compare Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 306-310 (all with plates) which come from contexts of c. 1270-c. 1400.

YORYM-5674D5: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy trumpet brooch. The spring pin is intact. The object has a classic trumpet head (hiding the spring). There is a decorated truncated cylindrical flange mid-bow, with a possible collar underneath with a knurled horizontal band. There is a collar above the footknob. The remains of the catchplate are on the reverse of the foot.

HESH-56A9A3: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
A cast copper-alloy hooked tag of probable post medieval date (1500-1700). The plate of the hooked tag is broadly oval in plan with a series of projecting knops (some of which have been pierced) positioned evenly around the central plate. An integral rectangular projection extends from one end: this has been bent to form a loop / hook which folds back upon itself. The hook tag measures 44.7mm in length, 21.6mm in width, is a maximum of 5.4mm thick (body plate is 2.5mm thick) and weighs 8.14 grams. The plate of the hooked tag has a central possibly floral decoration formed from a series of curvi-linear ribs and pellets. This central element is contained within an oval panel with a border formed of pellets in a raised rope-like boarder. The reverse of the hooked tag is plain and flat. The hooked tag is of a mid brown-green colour and has an even but abraded patina that covers all surfaces of the artefact. The function of hooked tags is not certain; they may have been used as dress fasteners or they may have had a variety of other uses.

HESH-566A31: TOKEN
Octagonal copper alloy token of Humphrey Rowley of Whitchurch, Shropshire. Struck in 1669. Boyne and Williamson's no. 107 (volume II, p. 965) Thanks are extended to Dr Naomi Payne for her help in identifying this token

HAMP-564C12: BROOCH
A fragmentary survival of a cast copper-alloy Roman crossbow brooch of 4th-century date. The brooch has broken along the bow: the head survives; the foot and part of the bow are now lost. The pin is also missing, as is the foremost, central knob. The artefact can be tentatively classified as a Type 3/4 crossbow brooch, albeit one with a very narrow bow. It is now largely light-mid green in colour. The side knobs are globular, and wider than they are long (c. 11.45 x 9.75 x 8.45mm). They both seem to have abraded central points suggesting that they would have tended towards being onion shaped. On both knobs there is a constriction and collar at the base. The crossarm has a rectangular cross-section. The axis bar survives in the pin slot. It is made of iron and the orange staining extends around the slot on the upper surface and at the ends of the knobs. In plan the crossarm is broadly triangular, tapering to the bow. Above the collars of the knobs there is a nicked recess on both sides (cf. Swift 2000, 20; fig. 5, Neuberg an-der-Donau piece). The bow arcs round in a semicircle. It is solid and triangular in cross-section - L.: 18.85mm (after break), H.: 6.2mm, Th. at base: 3.25mm. At its junction with the head/crossarm is a circular perforation (Dia.: 3.9mm) which would have taken the foremost knob.

LON-539C81: NETTING NEEDLE
A Post Medieval copper alloy netting needle (16th century). The needle has a circular cross-section and the shaft is slightly curved. The needle has been made from two lengths of copper alloy wire, each with a D-shaped cross-section that have been soldered together to form the shaft leaving the two terminals forked (length of fork: 10.56mm). This sort of fine netting needle would have been used to produce netting for hair nets. Dimensions: diameter: 1.19mm; length: 104.29mm; weight: 0.98g.

R.I.C. 94, 110) Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a contemporary copy of those that were minted at the Lyon I, à la Grosse Tête, mint.

HESH-432007: SEAL BOX
Incomplete cast copper-alloy seal box (base) of Roman date (100-300 AD). The upper lid is missing. The seal box base is broadly oval (tear drop shaped) in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. At the upper edge of the seal box is a relatively large integrally cast hinge. This is formed from two parallel lugs which have been pierced. Through this hole a copper alloy rivet is positioned securing the remains of the hinge setting of the lid. The opposite terminal is pointed with a circular knop. The knop has a small hole pierced in its upper edge which does not extend to the lower face of the box. The side walls are formed from relatively thin sheet metal integrally cast with the base. The sides have opposing U-shaped notches in their centres positioned at a point beneath the widest part of the box. The base of the seal box has three circular holes, each with a diameter of 2.6mm, arranged evenly in a triangle, the upper two positioned at the widest point and the third at the narrowest end. The upper edge of one side of the seal box has been damaged and torn. he seal box base measures 28.9mm length, 13.8mm width, is 4.5mm thick, and the sides walls are 0.9mm thick. It weighs 2.64 The seal box base is relatively plain and undecorated. The only slight decoration is on the base of the box where the three holes are augmented on this side with three incomplete annulets (rings) encircling the perforations. The seal box is a mid green colour with an even polished patina which has been slightly abraded. There is no evidence for organic remains within the seal box. This example is similar to a number illustrated in the Roman Small Finds from Excavations in Colchester, by Nina Crummy. The best parallel can be seen with catalogue entries 2529 and 2531 both of which are described as leaf shaped. Seal boxes are believed to have served to protect the (often impressed) lump of wax which held together the bindings of a packet or writing tablet. They often have highly ornate and enameled lids.

WAW-42FAB1: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch. The wings are semi-cylindrical with incomplete and abraded terminals. The axis bar, spring and pin are all missing. The wings are undecorated. At the junction of the bow head and wings, in the centre there is the remains of an incomplete lug or hook, this would have held the spring chord. The bow head is hump-like in profile, but is quite triangular. The bow head and bow is undecorated. The bow head tapers gradually to form the bow which is oval in section. The bow is broken below the head, the break is not recent. The brooch has traces of a mid brown patina, otherwise the surface is abraded. It measures 11.43mm long, 16.98mm wide and weighs 3.9g. The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, which cannot be confidently narrowed down further.

SWYOR-42FD07: FINGER RING
A copper alloy finger ring which is probably post medieval. It has an oval bezel and the hoop appears to be D shaped in section. The ring is almost impossible to identify because it is trapped in a concretion of ferrous corrosion. The iron object may have been tubular and have been through the hoop of the ring in the ground. No decoration is visible on the hoop or the bezel. The poor quality of the copper alloy and the shape of the bezel suggest a post medieval date. The ring has a diameter of 23.7mm and is 13.8mm thick at the bezel. The weight of the ring and the corrosion combined is 22.7g.

KENT-42F147: HARNESS PENDANT
Copper alloy medieval heraldic harness pendant. The pendant is shield-shaped, with a suspension loop projecting from the top edge. The front is inlaid with red enamel, in which is a rampant unicorn left. Flecks of gilt on the surface of this suggest that this was gold-coloured; thus the heraldic description of the arms would be:

SWYOR-42E9E4: VESSEL
Four sherds of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel. The sherds, none of which join, are sooted on the outer face. They have a distinctive lined and slightly rough surface on the outer face and a smooth green patina on the inner face.

KENT-425A34: BROOCH
Cast copper alloy early medieval brooch. This bow brooch is of an unusual type. It has an oval headplate with two lugs on the reverse, between which survives the corroded remains of the iron spring and pin bar. The bow has a curved cross-section, but a rectangular cross-section at the junctions with the head and foot-plates. The centre of the bow has a flattened circular section on its front, giving a disc-on-bow appearance. The foot-plate is straight, but terminates in a circular knop. The front of the foot-plate is decorated with a series of incised transverse lines. A catch-plate on the back of the foot retains part of the brooch's iron pin. The brooch is largely unpatinated. In general form it would appear to date to the 5th century AD.

WAW-427537: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends), Mackreth 2011, 4.d, pg.73, Plate 47. The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated wing caps at each terminal. Through the perforations a fragment of the copper alloy axis bar remains. Around the axis bar, the incomplete spring is coiled six times. The pin has broken off from the brooch and is missing. The wings are decorated with expanded terminals which have fine transverse notches around the edge. The bowhead is hump-like in profile and is decorated with a central vertical ridge with transverse notches. This is bordered by a smaller ridge on either side. This decoration continues down the bow and tapers away at approximately the midpoint. The bow is semi-circular in section and tapers to a rounded blunt foot. The catchplate is complete with a sub-triangular openwork in the centre. The surface of the brooch has an incomplete mid brown patina. It measures 66.14mm long, 26.55mm wide and weighs 23.5g. Bayley and Butcher (Bayley and Butcher, 2004 Roman Brooches in Britain: A technological and Typological Study Based on the Richborough Collection Society of Antiquaries) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands.

HAMP-424315: COIN
A worn and corroded 1st-century Roman copper-alloy sestertius of Titus, 'PROVIDENT AUGUS[T]', struck at Rome in 80 or 81 AD (Reece issue period 4; R.I.C. II, 1st ed, c.f. 97; RIC II, 2nd ed, c.f. 161)

HESH-425202: BROOCH
Incomplete cast copper alloy one piece Colchester brooch of late Iron Age to Early Roman date (1-75 AD). The head of the brooch is relatively small and two small stumpy wings extend from either edge. The wings are short and solid with a semi-cylindrical cross section. The spring is formed from a coiled length of copper alloy wire which has been integrally cast with the body of the brooch. This wire extends from the reverse head of the brooch and has been coiled to form the spring which is formed from seven turns and secured by an integral external chord to a rearward facing hook. The spring is incomplete. The pin, which is complete but distorted, is oval in cross section and tapers to form a narrow point. The cast hook is located at the centre of the wings on the upper edge of the head of the brooch and secures the external chord of the spring using a backward facing hook. The terminal of this hook has been flattened to make a small disc which is soldered to the head of the brooch. The bow head is slight with an angular profile, which has been much distorted by movement in the ploughsoil. The bow is lentoid in cross section. It tapers to a turned foot knop. The catchplate extends from a narrow rib and the pin rest has been formed by the outer edge of the catchplate being turned over (forming a U shape). The catch plate is badly abraded but does not seem to have been pierced. The brooch measures 53.4mm length, 16mm width (across wings and spring), 6.6mm width across bow, is 3.8mm thick across the bow, and weighs 6.13 grams. The brooch is much abraded and distorted. There is little evidence for decoration, the only visible decorative features is the oval shaped terminal of the rearward facing hook and the decorative cast three vertical bars on each wing. The brooch is a brown green colour with a much abraded but polished patina. Where abrasion has occurred it is most evident on the external faces of the brooch. Movement in the plough soil has also seriously distorted the profile of the brooch. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches pp 296 fig; 155 ref: 753 and Bayley and Butcher: Roman Brooches in Britain pp 60-63. This type of brooch spans the period pre and post Roman conquest of Britain and it is difficult to therefore suggest either a purely Roman or Iron Age date Donald Mackreth has commented on this record that he prefers its identification as being a "proto Headstud, not a one-piece as the foot-knob was made separately and then fitted". Reavill: on this information the dating of this example has been changed to reflect examples in Mackreth (2010) with similar examples from Dorchester (pl69 ref 14000) dated 75-120 (page 102). The description is kept above to reflect the original descriptions however the dating is altered below to reflect the changes made

HESH-420BE1: BROOCH
Incomplete copper alloy two-piece Colchester derivative (Dolphin) bow brooch of Roman date (43-150AD). The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated wing / end caps. The wing caps are incomplete and the axis bar and spring are lost. The spring would have been formed from a length of copper alloy wire which would have attached by an external chord to a rearward facing hook. This hook is located at the centre of the wings on the upper edge. The bow head of the brooch is hump-like, and slightly angular. The bow is D shaped in cross section. It tapers to pointed foot. On the reverse face of the bow is a small vertical rib which expands into a slight crescent shaped catchplate. This has been abraded in the soil and there is no evidence for a turned over U shaped pin rest. The catch plate is not pierced. The brooch measures 37.4mm length, 21.2m width (across the wings), 9.9mm wide across the bow, is 4.7mm thick and weighs 8.35 grams. The brooch is decorated with a series of cast designs. The cast designs are limited to the upper face of the wing cases and bow. The design consists of a double vertical line of pellets extending from the rearward facing hook at the head of the brooch to the terminal of the pointed foot. Similar vertical moulded and cast designs are present at the tips of the wing casing. The brooch is a mid green colour with an even and mostly unabraded patina. Where abrasion has occurred it is slight and has only affected areas on the outer edges of the brooch. Similar styled brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt’s Visual Guide to Ancient brooches pages 298-299, fig; 157-159 and Bayley and Butcher: Roman Brooches in Britain pages 82-88.

WAW-420893: VESSEL
A cast copper alloy cooking vessel leg/foot. The leg is a sub-trapezoid in plan, with rounded and one corner has a spur forming a ‘L’ shape in profile which forms a fragment of the foot rather than the leg. The upper edge of the leg has a broken edge, but this is not a recent break. The outer face of the leg is decorated with a integral, off-centre vertical ridge. The surfaces of the leg have patches of a black carbon deposit, which is probably a carbon deposit due to smoke. The leg measures 43.34mm wide, 28.53mm tall and 23.77mm thick. It weighs 63.3g. It is uncertain what type of vessel this leg comes from, but Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. The size and carbon deposit may suggest a skillet or cauldron. Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Unpublished) suggests such vessels were used from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.

The object is bent out of shape, and it is possible that it is not complete.

DENO-40DCB5: VESSEL
Post medieval handle; cast lead alloy head, probably the handle from a tobacco jar of late 17th to 18th century date. The handle is in the form of a human male of African ethnicity. It has a rounded face with heavy brows and eyes, a wide flattened nose and thick lips, slightly parted. The cheeks and chin are also well-defined. There are flecks on the back of the head to indicate short hair and there is a prominent band around the head, moulded in high relief. The top of the head, above the band, is smooth and undecorated suggesting that the band may be the brim of a close-fitting cap, or possibly an indication of a form of hair tonsure. The neck is slightly splayed, and terminates in a plain flattened base. Height 29.3mm, width (side to side of head) 18.2mm, thickness (front to back of head) 20.7mm, weight 62g This is very similar to another item recorded on the database as DENO-56F3B7

DENO-4082F0: KEY (LOCKING)
Medieval key; cast copper alloy key of probable 14th century date. The key has a hollow, cylindrical shank and an integral key bit formed of a thick, flat plate of copper alloy cast into the shape of the tines. The key bit has file marks, indicating the process of finishing the tines. The bottom of the key bit shows signs of breakage so it may originally have been larger. The shank ends in a narrow, expanded collar, of circular cross-section. The handle is directly above the collar and consists of a simple, sub-circular loop, somewhat narrower than the key shank. The key appears undecorated. Length 83.0mm, width (handle) 23.6mm, width (key bit) 26.4mm, thickness (handle) 4.1mm, diameter (shank, at collar below handle) 11.3mm, weight 39.67g

DENO-407062: KEY (LOCKING)
Medieval key; cast copper alloy key of probable 13th or 14th century date. The key has a cylindrical shank and a broad, concave key bit comprising 4 narrow tines with a broader band, of D-shaped cross-section, joining the ends of the tines. The shank flares and flattens towards the handle. It also expands at the junction of the shank and the handle to give a broad collar of roughly oval cross-section. The handle itself is narrower than the shank and flat in cross-section. It is in the form of a cross within an oval frame. Small lugs extend beyond the oval frame at the ends of each of the horizontal cross arms. There is also a broad, hollow, cylindrical extension to the top of the handle, above the end of the top vertical cross arm. This extension mimics a continuation of the key shank, being of approximately similar size and shape. It is now incomplete with a gap between the two ends of the rolled sheet metal which forms the extension. Length 85.2mm, width (handle) 32.7mm, width (key bit) 21.7mm, thickness (handle) 4.3mm, diameter (shank, at collar below handle) 8.8mm, weight 41.40g

DENO-4049C3: HARNESS PENDANT
Medieval harness pendant; Cast copper alloy lozenge-shaped harness pendant of probable late 13th or 14th century date. The pendant shows a grotesque figure with a human head towards the top left of the pendant but a beast’s body, with a leg to the bottom right and a tail curling up over the back. The back face of the pendant is undecorated. The remains of a suspension loop, in the perpendicular plane to the pendant, can be seen extending from the top of the pendant. The loop has broken off across what would have been a perforation for suspension. The lozenge-shaped plate is now concave in shape Length 36.7mm, width 27.9mm, thickness 1.3mm, weight 6.05g This artefact is very similar to other known harness pendants with this design, such as one recorded on the PAS database as NM-6B42E2 (which is also illustrated and described on page 106 of the PAS annual report for 2006).

There is a central element comprised of two-strand interlocked ovals. There are two rivets visible from the reverse. Although the reverse is not decorated with raised animal motifs, both faces are covered with gold gilding.

SWYOR-400768: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which is sub-cylindrical with a tapered central hole. The edges of the hole are rounded and the sides of the whorl are almost flat. It has a diameter of 13.9mm and is 11mm thick. It weighs 11.8g. It has a creamy white patina. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

SWYOR-3FF7F8: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which is an irregular oval in plan. It has a circular hole which is not central. The base is flat and the top is slightly domed. It is 22.5mm long, 19.9mm wide and 6mm thick. It weighs 11.4g. It has a creamy white patina. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

SWYOR-3FE9F5: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which is discoidal with a large central circular hole. It is rectangular in section, but one edge is chipped. It has a diameter of 24.7mm and is 5mm thick. It weighs 15.6g. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

SWYOR-3FDC73: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which has a flat base and a slightly domed top. It has a central circular hole. It has a diameter of 30.6mm and is 6.9mm thick. It weighs 30g. It is undecorated and has a creamy yellow patina. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

SWYOR-3FC314: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which is biconvex and has a central sub-circular hole. It has a diameter of 27.5mm and is 10.2mm thick. It weighs 38.6g. It is decorated on both faces with raised zig zag ribs. It has a creamy white patina. Decorated spindle whorls are very rare finds in excavations, but are often found by metal detectorists. They are usually biconical and are decorated on both faces with raised dots and radiating or zig-zag ribs. They have been found in ploughsoil over the site of Roman buildings, and in an excavated context dating from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century at an Austin Friary (Geake, 2001). It is thus very difficult to date decorated whorls, and it seems that they could have been in use at any time between the Roman and Late Medieval periods. A Medieval date is most likely.

SWYOR-3FABC4: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which is squashed and damaged. It is oval in plan though it may originally have been circular, and it has a large oval hole in the centre. It is a rounded triangular shape in section. The top of the whorl is domed, but the base, which would have been flat, is rough and damaged, pushed out of shape. The whorl is 29.6mm long, 22.5mm wide and 10.4mm thick. It weighs 27.2g. It has a creamy yellow patina. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

SWYOR-3F9867: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl which is discoid with a large central circular hole. The whorl has a diameter of 27.5mm and is 8.1mm thick. It weighs 37g. It has a creamy yellow patina. Helen Geake writes: “Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, “The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 – c1450”; and Biddle, 1990, “Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester”), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, “Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 – 78”). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context.” Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

KENT-3F8C13: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Flint flake, probably a waste flake. Bulb of percussion. Light grey colour.

SWYOR-3F89F7: HARNESS PENDANT
A copper alloy medieval harness pendant with is damaged and incomplete. The pendant would have been circular or oval when complete, but now it is broken and about a third is missing. There is an integral suspension loop which is at right angles to the pendant. The pendant is 42.1mm long, 20mm wide and 5.9mm thick. No visible decoration survives except two tiny specks of gilding. The pendant has a light green patina. It probably dates from the 12th or 13th century (Griffiths, 1986).

YORYM-3F7312: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle of Marshall type V. The object comprises a double-looped D-shaped buckle with a triangular chape with a sub-circular, perforated terminal; the pin is missing. The buckle is not decorated.

SWYOR-3F6F01: BROOCH
A copper alloy object which may be a damaged and incomplete penannular brooch. The object is a bar which is circular in section and has flattened and expanded terminals. The top face of the oval terminals are decorated with incised radial lines. A hole has been punched through one terminal, but too close to the edge so the hole has ripped the metal. The bar is sharply bent at one point. The smooth light green patina is damaged at that point, suggesting the damage was post depositional. It is unclear what shape the object was originally. The object is 41.2mm long, 5.9mm wide and 3.2mm thick. If it is a brooch it may date from the Roman period.

YORYM-3F4975: BUCKLE

LON-3C6C02: KNIFE
A Post Medieval copper alloy knife pommel in the form of a dog's head, a spaniel (AD1500-1600). John Clark identified this as the pommel from a single edged knife like a hunting dagger. The spaniel is usually associated with the Talbot family. He notes that single-edged knife pommels are often assymetrical like this example. This pommel is hollow and is cast to form a three-dimensional dog’s head. There is a sub-oval perforation at the peak, probably the point to secure the pommel with the blade and the handle. The ears and the nose of the dog have cast details. Details of the eyes, fur and probably a collar have been engraved. The lower edges of the pommel are dished where it would sit adjacent to the grip. Dimensions: length: 35.37mm; width: 38.07mm; thickness: 22.05mm; weight: 84.74g. Identified by John Clark Senior Medieval Curator, Museum of London.

A worn and corroded incomplete cast copper-alloy mid-late Anglo-Saxon strap end. The strap-end is essentially a flat oval in shape with a break at the point where the V shaped split, which forms the attachment for such items, would have been. The reverse is plain and the front carries a pointed zoomorphic head with snout and flattened ears as the terminal whilst the main body of the strap-end was probably decorated with interlacing design but is now too corroded to be certain. This type of strap end falls into the classification category Thomas Class A (probably Type 1). Dated c.700-900 AD.

BERK-31D102: STRAP END
A worn and corroded but complete cast copper-alloy mid-late Anglo-Saxon strap end.

The hoop of the ring narrows gradually from the bezel and is decorated with transverse grooves which retain gilding. A little way in from each edge, the panels thus formed have border grooves, and in the centre of each panel is a grooved V shape or triangle. The triangles are in alternating directions, forming lozenges. The diameter of the ring is 21.12mm.

NARC-03BF62: KNIFE
Roman folding knife: An incomplete copper alloy and iron openwork 'hare and hound' knife. The handle is complete and depicts a stylised hound catching a running hare, on a solid bar which has a longitudinal slot in its underside, into which the knife blade would fits. The animals are naturalistically rendered, with long limbs. The hound has his snout on the hare's tail. The hare has long triangular ears which are laid back against its head. The hound is large and appears to be running at full speed with its front legs stretched forwards and its ears laid back. The iron blade, fixed with an iron rivet through the butt, is heavily corroded, but, unusually, remains intact. This form of folding knife is relatively common, and the representation of the hunt was a popular theme throughout Roman material culture, particularly in the 4th century.

LVPL-0330D6: FINGER RING
A Medieval finger-ring, set with a hexagonal sapphire in a bezel with a pinched border. The shoulders of the ring are divided into three bands. The raised central band is plain, with a rouletted border, which has worn smooth in places. The two side bands are engraved with flowers and leaves, and would originally have been enamelled. The back of the hoop is decorated with diagonal bands of alternate plain and punched decoration to give the effect of cabling. Inside the hoop is the French inscription JOYE SANZ FYN (Joy without end) The hoop is not circular, but resembles a distended stirrup shape. The finger-ring is gold and can be dated to the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century. A close comparison to the ring exists at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A M.191-1975) which was owned by William Wytlesey, Archbishop of Canterbury who died in 1374.

SUSS-023720: THIMBLE
Post medieval or modern two piece copper alloy thimble. The thimble is tall with a low rounded top. It is 19.4mm tall, 15.3mm in diameter at the base and weighs 2.1 grams. The base is unthickened, above the base is a band of circluar indentations, a 3.0mm wide undecorated band, another band of circular indentations then a regular series of rows of circular indentations. The top has concentric circles of round indentations. The joints between the top and sides and where the sheet has been overlapped to create the sides are visible inside the thimble. Such two piece thimbles are mass produced from the end of the 17th century although the flimsiness of this example suggests a 19th century date.

SUSS-0224B7: BUCKLE
Part of a post medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame. One loop of the buckle has broken away. The remaining piece is 28.1mm long, 22.0mm wide, 2.7mm thick and weighs 5.0 grams. It has lobed protrusions either side of the strap bar and a bevelled outer edge. The top and bottom sides are 4.3mm wide. The outer side is widened into a triangle, 10.9mm wide at the point. The buckle is heavily corroded but appears undecorated. Marshall (1986) catagorises such buckles as Type IIID and suggests they are spur buckles of mid 17th century date. A similar buckle is shown in Whitehead (2003) p82 No.513.

SUSS-01FD32: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A short lead cylinder, 28.5mm in length, 8.1mm in external diameter, 5.3mm in internal diameter at the widest point and 6.2 grams in weight. The item was made by rolling a piece of lead sheet, the joint does not appear to be fixed in any way but the edges of the sheet were slightly overlapped. One end is smooth while the other has a rough break as though it has been torn. This item may have had a use or just have been made from an offcut of lead sheet in an idle moment. It was found in an area that has produced numerous other lead tokens and items, it is possibly contemporary with them.

YORYM-01C411: FINGER RING
Copper alloy finger ring. The object is rectangular in section, plain on the inner face. The outside face is decorated with stamped quatrefoils. The mark indicating the soldered joint where the two terminals of the single piece of wire came together is visible.

SUSS-01DD08: MUSKET BALL
Post medieval cast lead musket ball or pistol shot with prominent casting seam, 12.6mm in diameter and 11.5 grams in weight. Lead bullets such as these were used from 1600 – 1850, most of them are likely to date from the 17th - 18th century. One end has been damaged and is flat, possibly suggesting it was used.

KENT-01DB47: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin: radiate of Victorinus.

SUSS-01BA41: TOKEN
A cast lead unifaced token. The token is 24.4mm in diameter, 2.4mm thick and weighs 8.2 grams. The design is uncertain; it may be a bird with a cross or steeple behind. The lack of clarity of the image was probably caused by the mould rather than wear on the token. Numerous other tokens and lead objects have been found close to the findspot of this item.

YORYM-0172F5: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Cast lead alloy fitting of uncertain function. The object is triangular in plan with a slightly curved rectangular tag at the top. The face is decorated with three raised, wide pellets in the centre with a border decorated with a low-relief webbed (cross-hatching) motif.

SUSS-016523: JETTON
A post medieval copper alloy jetton of the Lion of St Mark type. Obverse shows the lion of St Mark facing left, reverse has the imperial orb is atressure of three arches.

The token is 26.0mm in diameter, 1.1mm thick and weighs 4.9mm.

LVPL-016BB4: BROOCH
Fragment of a copper alloy Roman dragonesque brooch. It is the central part of the brooch which remains. The decoration is in relief and does not appear to have had any enamel on it. It is probably a derivative of the early West Brigantian types with the central motif being made up of 2 trumpets meeting in a circle. This design is seen in early Celtic art. A similar example (although in an openwork design) can be seen in Hattatt (1982; 154-5).

YORYM-015235: THIMBLE
Cast copper alloy thimble dating from the late Medieval period. The object is domed and heavily damaged. The pits are arranged in a spiral around the body of the thimble. The crown of the object is hardly attached.

LVPL-011D25: BROOCH
Copper alloy Roman disc brooch, dating to the mid 1st century to the late 2nd century AD. It is very worn and now appears oval although it would have been round when made.

SUSS-004854: TOKEN
Flat lead disk, probably a token. It is 21.2mm in diameter, 4.1mm thick and weighs 10.8grams .

This token was found in an area that has produced many other tokens and lead items.

SUSS-002E47: TOKEN
A cast lead token. The token is flat and circular; 19.6mm in diameter, 3.5mm thick and weighs 8.0 grams. The obverse of the token is marked with a cross in relief; the reverse is blank.

SUSS-000BA3: TOKEN
A lead token, 26.6mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick and 15.2 gramms in weight. There are designs on both sides of the token, although both are almost illegible and it is not clear if it was cast of hammered. The obverse is marked with an impressed shield which has one line running vertically down it's centre in relief and two crossing it horizontally in relief; the shield is surrounded by more lines but it is not clear what they represent. The reverse has a series of crossed lines in relief making a portcullis or chequerboard design. The lead has gone a light grey colour. Due to a lack of excavated examples these tokens can only be loosely dated from between circa 1350 – 1800 AD.

YORYM-FFEDF2: MOUNT
Copper alloy mount composed of sheet metal, dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object is a mount for a strap or similar use. The body of the mount is sub-rectangular with a rounded triangular terminal on one end. There are narrow projections protruding from either end; these are the tags for attachment to a strap.

Bishop, Oxbow Monograph 65 1996, Page 77 No. 469

HESH-EDB107: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper-alloy 'amphora-shaped' strap end of late Roman date (300-450 AD). The strap end is broadly sub-triangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. The edges of the strap end have slightly beveled / faceted edges. The strap end is incomplete in that the upper part of the strap fitting has been lost. It is possible that originally this was iron as an orange corrosion product is present on many of the surfaces (although this may be a result of the burial conditions. The upper part of the strap end has two pierced sub-oval (kidney) shaped holes which are irregular in plan; these form the neck and handles of the amphora. The body of the strap end swells and then tapers to a broken edge. Here originally there would have been a pointed terminal which has been lost. The break at this point is relatively fresh suggesting recent damage in the ploughsoil. The body of one face of the amphora is decorated. This has been achieved by using a series of punches to form ‘ring and dot’ decoration. The overall design consists of eight ring and dots which have been arranged in a vertical cross. The reverse of the strap end is undecorated but it is possible that the entire strap fitting was originally silver washed or tinned as small amounts of decayed white metal are present on both faces of the artefact. The strap end is a mid green colour with patches of applied grey surface. The patina is relatively complete but has been lost in places due to a combination of abrasion and corrosion. There are small areas of active green corrosion present. The strap end measures 51.7mm length, 22mm width, is a maximum of 3.7mm thick and weighs 13.22 grams Similar examples to this strap end can be seen in the study by Bishop and Coulston (1993, 175, fig 126, no 7), these types are associated with fourth century Dominate belt-furniture. Although not common in Britain (from stratified contexts), examples are known such as one from the Winchester Lankhills cemetery, for instance. They belong to the type of belt with 'propeller' stiffeners similar to a complete set from Zengovarkarhony. They seem to have been worn with the tongue of the buckle facing the wearer's right hip, which meant the strap terminal ended up dangling on the left hip, after being wrapped around the belt a few times. A close parallel for this strap end has been recorded on the PAS database by Faye Minter from Melton, Suffolk (see record: SF-123771).

YORYM-EDA0A5: RING
Cast copper alloy, circular-sectioned ring. Due to the ambiguous nature of the object, a precise date or identified function is not possible. Such items have been used from prehistory to the modern era for a wide variety of uses, from agricultural functions to personal accessories.

YORYM-ED2AA0: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
Possible silver moulded dress fastener dating from the 18th century. The object comprises a leaf-shaped, moulded body with loops for attachment and a hook. There is one loop at the apex and one to either side of the hook. The body of the fastener is decorated with a line of pellets at the centre with radiating lines on either side.

SUR-ED6F80: DIE
A copper alloy die.

SUR-ED48D8: COIN
A sixpence of Charles I. The coin is very worn and heavily clipped and all the legend is missing.

SUR-ED3324: COIN
An unidentified silver post-medieval coin, about the size of a sixpence of Charles I. The rough surface and dull colour might suggest this not of British origin.

YORYM-ECEB61: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle of Marshall type IIID. The object is an incomplete double-looped trapezoidal buckle with semicircular knops at either side of the loop. The centre of the loop is sub-triangular. The buckle is rectangular-sectioned; the central bar and part of the pin are intact. The object is not decorated.

SUR-ECFE75: COIN
A penny of James I, pierced centrally.

SUR-ECCA57: HARNESS PENDANT
An incomplete openwork object with a transversely pierced loop, probably a horse-harness pendant. It is roughly triangular, symmetrical about a vertical axis with the loop at the top. The loop projects forward, and immediately below is a small circular hole which has bevelled edges (i.e. is countersunk). Two relief elements, one to either side, look a little like mirror images of cat-like animals seen in profile. Their noses touch, forming the base of the circular hole, and below this their paws touch to form a lower sub-square hole. Gaps below the body form a pair of larger circular holes, but the edges of one of these are broken and the original extent of the object is not clear. The object was originally identified as a book clasp, but there is no obvious candidate for a peg hole. A similar object has been published as a mount by Capelle (1976, Taf. 22; no. 378).

YORYM-EC9E66: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy buckle of Marshall type IF. The buckle is incomplete, with only the outer loop surviving. This forms a broad, semi-circular outer loop decorated with a gilt scroll or foliate motif. The sides are also intact; these terminate in spherical knops. The bar is missing. The reverse of the object is plain.

SUR-ECA004: BROOCH
The lower part of a bow brooch of Roman date. The catchplate is solid and the bow is decorated with vertical lines, and lines of random notches. Above the rounded terminal is a transverse groove.

YORYM-EC91B2: RING
Sub-hexagonally-sectioned cast copper alloy ring. Due to the ambiguous nature of the object, a precise date or identified function is not possible. Such items have been used from prehistory to the modern era for a wide variety of uses, from agricultural functions to personal accessories.

SUR-EC7923: COIN
A cast contemporary copy, Limesfalsum, of an as of Otacilia Severa (wife of Philip I, 244-9) with a reverse showing a bust of Nero, possibly cast from a coin of Lugdunum. This is a most peculiar piece and appears to have no parallel.

CAM-EBD0A7: BUCKLE
Small, robust copper alloy spur buckle with an integral plate. The end of the plate is missing but may well have formed a hook or a loop that would have fixed directly to the spur. The frame of the object is oval with a small lip. The plate has four small ridges, two each side of the pin and a rivet hole behind these. The length of the object is 35.49mm and the maximum diameter of the buckle frame is 14.88mm.

NMGW-EB75F6: COIN
Republic Denarius, C Piso L F Frugi, Rome, 67 BC. Cr/RRC 408/1b, 2.902g worn

SWYOR-EB5551: WEIGHT
A lead alloy shield shaped weight from the medieval period. The weight is 43mm long, 33.5mm wide and 8.8mm thick. It weighs 68.5g or 2.4oz. This weight does not seem to fit into any of the known systems of measurements, but could be based on a special weight system with which we are not familiar. The weight is a flat triangular plaque with a raised central area on the front, upon which is the design of a fleur-de-lis in relief. This is a common design for this type of weight. It is similar to several weights in “Lead Weights – The David Rogers Collection” (2000) by Biggs and Withers. It is suggested that they may date from the twelfth to the fourteenth century.

CAM-EB44E6: BUCKLE
Copper alloy strap-end buckle with integral forked spacer, which would originally have had separate front and back plates soldered on. The frame has a protruding lip with a pin notch. The forked spacer is broken at the bottom and bent to a right angle at the top fork. The length of the buckle is 37.37mm and the maximum diameter of the frame is 25.53mm.

SWYOR-EB46B7: TOGGLE
A copper alloy toggle from the late Iron Age (Geake, 2001). It is 28.7mm long, 14.2mm wide and 17.8mm thick. It is a copper alloy solid cylinder with a swollen centre with a recessed line marking the centre, and expanded terminals. There is a projection from one side of the centre which was probably originally an iron loop. Very little of this survives, but there are also other areas of ferrous corrosion. The object has a grey green patina.

SWYOR-EB3934: SEAL MATRIX
A copper alloy seal matrix from the medieval period. The matrix is a pointed oval shape. It is 23.7mm long, 16.7mm wide and 6.7mm thick. On the reverse is a raised central rib with a loop near one end. The design on the face is of a pelican pecking her breast to feed her chicks (a pelican in her piety). The nest rests in a branch and there are three chicks with the pelican on the left (when looking at an impression from the matrix). The legend reads: "SVM PELLICANVS DEI" with an initial cross in a square. The legend derives from Psalm 101: "Similis factus - sum pelicanus solitudinis" which in the English Bible is Psalm 102 verse 6: "I am like a pelican of the wilderness" (Cherry, 1991, in Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum Medieval Catalogue Volume 1). The inscription means 'The Pelican of God'. A parallel is number 19 in the same book. The Pelican in her Piety is a very popular motif found on many seal matrices. The matrix is in excellent condition and is neatly executed. It probably dates from the thirteenth or fourteenth century.

SWYOR-EB2BB2: BROOCH
A copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch. The brooch is 42.2mm long, 24.3mm wide and 14.5mm thick. The top part of the bow has been bent backwards badly so that the head of the brooch is level with the acanthus button. The pin mechanism and pin are missing. There is a loop to hold the mechanism behind the trumpet head which is oval and undecorated. The acanthus button continues right round the bow and has six petals above and six below the central rib. The lower part of the bow tapers to a point and some of the catchplate survives behind. The brooch has a patchy green patina. Similar brooches can be seen in Snape (1993) and are usually dated to the second century.

Probably C Mint, S P//(C?) - style is of C Mint.. Need to check against other specimens. This coin is included in Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.

SWYOR-EAEC31: SPOON
A copper alloy knop and part of the stem from a post medieval spoon. The object is 37.8mm long, 10.6mm wide and 10.3mm thick. The stem is oval in section, has an old break at the end and is bent. The knop is a seal top type with a flat disc at the end, a bi-conical area beneath and a thick rounded collar below that. In the top of the disc are inscribed the letters “FI”. The letters may be the initials of the owner. This type of knop dates from the sixteenth century (Geake, 2001).

SUR-EADAB0: COIN
A nummus of Constantine I. Rev. Mars MARTI PATRI PROPVGNATORI Mint of Lyon

SWYOR-EAD0D2: STIRRUP
A copper alloy stirrup strap mount dating from the eleventh century. It is 50.2mm long, 25.8mm wide and 8.8mm thick. It is a Williams' Class A, Type 11A mount, which is the most common type of mount. It is sub-triangular with a broken loop at the top flanked by slight projecting lobes. It is decorated with a lion like animal with a raised front paw, and its head turned upwards as if to grasp an object above in its mouth. The flange projecting from the reverse of the base is on a forty five degree angle. It is broken, but appears to have had two iron rivets through it. Only the corroded remains of one survives. The mount is slightly convex and is very corroded, with the metal a dark brown colour with a rough surface. It is a very close parallel to figure 1 in "Stirrup Mounts: Finds Research Group Datasheet number 20" by David Williams (1995).

NMGW-EAC9D1: SPEARHEAD
Bronze Age spear tip of uncertain type and date within the Bronze Age The spear is represented by the tip only, with a surviving length of 52.mm and a weight of 19.4g. The spearhead broke in antiquity and there is no socket evident on the fragment. The spear has a width of 20.4mm and a thickness of 8.2mm at the break. The spear had a prominent and comparatively wide rounded midrib (12mm wide at the break). The midrib alignment differs between faces, as is evident on the cross-section break. The sides of the spear are comparatively straight or slightly convex along the length of the fragment. Areas of the original survive with a deep brown patina and show a blade facet (2.5mm wide) and sharpening striations running along the blade. Elsewhere the current surface is pale green. The fragment is curved along its length, suggesting it was bent prior to breaking. The proportions of the fragment may suggest a heavier spearhead type, possibly a Late Bronze Age pegged spearhead with a flame-shaped blade.

SUR-EAC813: STRAP FITTING
A trapezoidal loop (for securing the end of a belt or strap) with an integral rivet.

SUR-EAB5C3: HARNESS FITTING
A terminal from a bridle link or cheek piece of 11th or 12th century date. The terminal is oval and has the characteristic three projecting knobs.

SWYOR-EA9AC3: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl of unknown date. The whorl has a diameter of 29.5mm and is 13.4mm thick. It is biconvex and has a large central circular hole. Both faces are decorated with large raised pellets arranged in groups of twos or threes with a raised rib between each group. The decoration on one face is much more worn. The whorl has a creamy yellow patina. Decorated spindle whorls are very rare finds in excavations, but are often found by metal detectorists. They are usually bi-conical and decorated on both faces with raised dots and radiating or zig zag ribs. They have been found in ploughsoil over the site of Roman buildings and in an excavated context dating from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century at an Austin Friary (Geake, 2001). It is thus very difficult to date decorated whorls, and it seems that they could have been in use at any time between the Roman and late medieval periods. A Medieval date is most likely.

CAM-EA9050: PURSE
Copper alloy purse bar with suspension loop. One bar is broken off at the central boss. The other bar is 41.20mm long including the end finial, which is made to look like a bell with a meridian ridge although it is solid. The central boss is shield shaped with four incised lines. The suspension loop is circular with an attached shaft that runs through the cental boss and ends in a flat-ended cone shaped finial. The height of the object is 50mm and the maximum thickness is 6.93mm

SUR-EA6777: VESSEL
A hemispherical, slightly off-circular, bowl, 26.87mm deep externally, with three small splayed legs arranged in a triangle at the centre of the underside (33.6mm deep including the legs). The internal depth of the bowl is 22.5mm.The rim of the bowl is thin and flat and his badly worn projections, possibly pierced for suspension. The bowl displays much iron staining and has a green powdery corrosion.

SWYOR-EA8093: BUCKLE
A copper alloy buckle that dates from the medieval period. The fame and the pin survives, but not the plate. The frame is rectangular with a widened and concave outer edge. It has a straight bar. The sides and outer edges are decorated with faint wavy incised lines. The pin tapers to a point and is a strip of metal bent into a loop round the bar. The buckle is 29.6mm long, 24.4mm wide and 6.4mm thick. Similar buckles can be seen in Whitehead’s “Buckles” (2003) and are dated between 1350 and 1500. The buckle has a dark brown and green patina.

NMGW-EA67F3: FLAT AXEHEAD
Early Bronze Age copper flat axe, probably of Type Migdale (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981, p 35-36) or Needham's (forthcoming) Class 2D, and belonging to metalworking stage III, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 2 dated to 2300 - 2050BC. The axe is broken and has lost the butt in antiquity, with a current surviving length of 67.8mm and weighs 195.1g. The axe has a width of 47.7mm and a thickness of 9.6mm at the break and is of sub rectangular section. One of the sides is comparatively straight, while the other side is concave and divergent to produce a moderately expanded blade edge. The blade has a width of 68.2mm. The surviving areas of the faces are concave and would have produced a lenticular profile across the length of the axe. The axe has poor surface preservation with areas of pale green patina on one face, elsewhere the surface is brown.

YORYM-E9FF47: PENDANT
Possible moulded lead pendant. The object comprises a heart-shaped plate with a broken loop at the top. On the face of the plate, the field is decorated with two concentric hearts formed from raised lines, one of which is punctuated with pellets. The reverse is decorated with irregular, raised cross-hatching; through the centre there is a bar containing possible letters: S o HH.

SUR-EA2DB7: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
A complete Late Bronze Age socketed axe. The surface of the axe is in very fine condition with only a little iron staining and a small amount of green corrosion on the blade edge. The width of the blade is 46.06mm. The exterior width of the socket is 38.75mm. Internally the socket measures 28.63mm by 27.85mm.

SUR-E9F217: FINGER RING
A fragment of a Roman finger ring. The ring has a keeled hoop and an expanded flat bezel with two diverging grooves.

YORYM-E9E554: MOUNT
Cast copper alloy mount with iron inclusions. The mount probably functioned as a hinge or box mount. There are no signs of breakage to suggest that the object is incomplete. The face has moulded decoration showing chevrons above and lozenges below. There is a possible foliate motif at the terminal end. The short, straight edge contains the iron, probably the remains of the hinge pin. The reverse is not decorated.

YORYM-E99FB2: BUCKLE
Cast copper alloy single loop buckle. The object comprises a pointed D-shaped loop with a sheet metal plate. The plate consists of a single sheet of metal folded over the bar. There is a perforation for a rivet at the open end of the plate. The buckle possibly had an integral forked spacer, now broken. The pin is missing. The object is not decorated.

SWYOR-E98B97: COIN
An Early Medieval silver coin; a penny of Eadgar (959 - 975), reform coinage (973 - 975). The coin is severely damaged with all the outer edge of the flan missing except for one letter of the legend. It is currently 16.1mm across, but would have had a diameter of about 18mm. It weighs 0.77g. Apart from the damage, the coin is hardly worn and is in very good condition. There is a small raised mark next to the cross pattee on the reverse which may be the result of a flawed die. These coins were minted at a large number of mints. Normally the moneyer and mint would be recorded on the reverse legend, but because of the condition of this coin it is impossible to identify them. For reference see North (Volume 1) number 752.

NMGW-E96D53: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Trumpet derivative type: Wroxeter Type, dating to the 2nd century AD The brooch is near-complete, missing only the spring, pin, catch and chain loop, with a surviving length of 66.9mm and a weight of 15.4g. The missing spring was secured between lateral lugs, only one of which survives but would have had a width of 11.3mm. The surviving lug is encrusted on the exterior with iron corrosion, suggesting the spring employed an iron axis bar. The delicate chain loop sat upon a rectangular panel containing a rectangular recessed panel, enhanced with oblique incised lines. The head has a surviving height of 18.0mm and contains the oval trumpet head (11.4mmwide by 9.4mm high). The bow emerges from the head with a square section (6.1mm square). The sides of the bow are straight and parallel to the button and are enhanced with elegant curved mouldings. The front of the bow was decorated with a rectangular recessed cell (1.6mm wide) containing traces of orange enamel. There is the suggestion of a delicate vertical dividing rib running up the cell. The button is of acanthus form. The leg is of triangular section with concave sides, enhanced with a delicate rib each side. The disc foot has a diameter of 8.7mm and a depth of 4.2mm. The central area of the foot is decorated with oblique incised lines. The catch-plate begins at the rear of the button and arcs to the missing catch. Each side of the catch-plate, against the rear of the leg is decorated with incised repeating c-scrolls and V-scrolls. The rear of the catch is decorated with an incised zigzag. The brooch has very good surface preservation with a dark green to brown patina.

NMGW-E927F3: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Early Bronze Age bronze cast-flanged axe of uncertain type, possibly a long-flanged axe of Type Balbirnie (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981, p 70-72) , likely to be of Late Willerby or early Acton Park metalworking phase, corresponding to the earlier part of Needham's (1996) Period 4 (1700 - 1500 BC), perhaps dating to 1700 - 1600 BC. The axehead is complete but has eroded considerably, and has an overall length of 122.7mm and a weight of 289.4g. The butt is straight and has a width of 23.0mm. The flanges begin from the septum, 11mm from the butt. The flanges are irregular, probably because of erosion, but are oval to lozenge in shape and appear higher on one face than the other. On one face, the flanges have a height of only 2.7mm and would suggest a developed flat axe; while the other face has flanges 6.4mm high indicating cast flanges. The flanges have a maximum depth of 20.4mm and are convex across the thickness of the axe. The sides are parallel and straight or slightly concave for the majority of the septum and begin to diverge at the position of the median bevel. There is no stopridge on the septum, but the septum gradually becomes thicker to a maximum of 12.7mm at 60mm from the butt at a barely discernible median bevel. The sides of the blade are divergent and produce a maximum surviving width at the blade edge of 48.7mm. It is now uncertain whether the irregular blade shape is because of wear or erosion. Both blade tips and the blade edge have been lost, but one side has the suggestion of a recurved blade. A blade facet is discernible on one of the faces, beginning a maximum of 13mm from the current blade edge. The surface of the axe appears poorly preserved with a pale to dark green colour and has recently been coated in a lacquer or vanish. The high flanges on one side indicate the axe to be cast-flanged, the absence of a stopridge suggest the axe is early in the development of this form and suggest Type Balbirnie as an earliest or transitional type of cast-flanged axe.

NLM-E8A768: VESSEL
A body sherd from the shoulder of an Early Medieval, Early Anglo Saxon pottery vessel with stamp decoration. The dark brown fabric has about twenty percent poorly sorted sub-rounded quartz grain filler. Two stamp dies have been used, a plain die and a complete whorl design. There are also two incised circumferencial lines below the stamps. As decorated pottery is rare on settlement sites, it is possible that this sherd came from an urn.
