Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An extremely bent, early-medieval (mid 5th- to 6th-century Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch. This incomplete brooch is cast in copper alloy, with traces of an iron pin corroded within the lug. This brooch has been severely bent so much so that the arched bow is so flat that it can sit on a flat surface. The head and foot are bent almost at right angles to the flattened bow, their upper surfaces now facing.
The brooch has a rectangular head-plate with rounded corners to which has a incised border of double V-shaped stamps, with small broken annulets at the apex of each 'pyramid'. The …

A slightly worn fragment from a 4th-century silver Roman siliqua possibly of Gratian, 'VRBS ROMA', uncertain mint (c. AD 367-383; probably Reece issue period 19).
Around a third of the original flan survives following an old break. The obverse legend break suggests that this may be a coin of Gratian.

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A squashed and fractured medieval copper-alloy thimble of sheet construction. The thimble is domed with a rounded top; it has been squashed from both sides, and cracked at two main points causing elements to overlap slightly. The small, circular drilled pits begin at the top, the uppermost part of which is bare, and continue in a continuous spiral to the sides in a regular fashion. On the sides the pits are arranged in vertical rows above an incised border at the base. The thinness of this thimble might suggest that it was used for light duty work. The bare circular patch on top of th…

Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A seemingly complete post-medieval lead-alloy cloth seal of mid/late 17th-century date. The disc is a four-disc alnage/subsidy seal from the county of Yorkshire. All four discs are sub-circular, with the outer discs smaller protrusions of the inner ones rather than properly defined and separated circles. Discs 1 and 4 are seemingly plain with the integral stud from Disc 1 being hammered over Disc 4 in a crude L shape. Disc 3 bears a large initial 'K' in an inner circle around which the legend '* COMIT . YORKE' ('county of Yorkshire'). For another Yorkshire seal apparently of the same …

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing part of its corroded iron pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve; they are slightly asymmetrical. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section. Around, as implied, is an iron concretion - the corroded pin. There is further iron corrosion product on one of the outer edges. The buckle frame has a mid-/dark-green patina w…

Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy probable strap union (harness fitting) of Late Iron Age/Romano-British date. It consists of a bar of sub-rectangular cross-section, broken at one end. At the other end is a terminal formed of a pair of conjoined bosses from the tops of which extend rounded tabs between which is a bar of circular cross-section. It is assumed that a strap would have been looped around the gap between the latter bar and the bosses.
The main bar has a deep longitudinal groove running along the centre of its lower surface. This is far more shallow as it divides t…

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and abraded cast copper-alloy flat axehead of Early Bronze Age date. This small example is from the earliest bronze working traditions, dating from the centuries after c. 2000 BC. The blade terminates in a rounded cutting edge. Bevelling to create the edge is gradual. Beyond the edge the object narrows to a width of 16.65mm and is at its thickest, 7.6mm. The object remains a fairly constant width to the butt. It narrows very gradually, and then more obviously in the quarter at the butt end. The axehead has a rectangular cross-section with no side flanges as such; the surf…

Object type: PURSE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A damaged cast copper-alloy fragment from the pendent frame of a late medieval or early post-medieval purse. The object is V-shaped in cross section, with one side thickened compared to the other. There is one clear sewing hole on the lower side of this fragment, now broken through. It would have been through such holes that the frame was sewn to the fabric purse (Geake 2001, 43). On the outer side are incised diagonal double grooves decorating the frame in a series of 'X's: these may once have been inlaid with niello. The cross-section of the artefact together with the absence of any…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy spacer plate from a medieval composite strap-end with large acorn knop terminal. The front and back sheet plates are missing. The spacer section (above the collar) has a flat crescentic plate formed of two prongs. Both are rectangular in cross-section and taper slightly from the plate. The inner edge has not been filed down, especially at the centre. Also at the centre is a perforation for attachment, recessed on one side. Below the expanded sub-rectangular collar, which marks the point the plates would have ended, there is a waist and then the terminal expands int…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large cast copper-alloy mount in the form of a bar mount. The mount features two bars of equal length emerging in line from a central openwork circle. The central circular perforation is 9.8mm in diameter. The circle is up to 15.1mm wide and is bevelled externally on the upper surface and internally on the lower (Th.: 5.9mm). Externally it is decorated with fine longitudinally and transversely incised lines to create cross-hatching. The bars are trapezoidal, expanding from 5.5 to 7.5mm (Th.: 3.85mm) and 6.4 to 8.1mm (Th.: 4.45mm) respectively, over 21.0 and 20.5mm. They are bevelled…

A fragment from the sheet plate of medieval copper-alloy buckle. The plate would have been of folded sheet construction. It is shield shaped, with an abraded terminal that may have been angled but rounded. The frame end is slightly abraded but appears to be straight with small expansions beyond the curved sides. The fold features three holes for absent rivets, arranged in a triangle with two towards the frame end. An incised border extends around the plate. Within this are finely incised zigzags formed by rockerarm that almost abut the pair of rivet holes. The fold has been bent and b…
