An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester-derivative rear hook bow brooch. It is missing the wings, spring, pin, foot and catchplate due to old breaks. What survives of the wings suggests they were semi-cylindrical in form and may have been deliberately remove, although this may simply be the result of post-depositional damage.

Fragment of a cast copper alloy plano-convex ingot, sub-triangular in plan and profile, and plano-convex in section. The fragment rises up from its semi-circular outer edge, which is about 10 mm in thickness, to the centre of the ingot, where it is broken, and 27 mm in thickness or height. The two sides which look deliberately waisted may have been filed after sections were taken out of the ingot, and have since worn smooth and corroded to form rounded yet defined rectangular edges. There are also a few pits in the base, side and upper surface, which were probably formed from air pock…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper-alloy (bronze) tanged chisel of possible Middle - Late Bronze Age date (1500 - 750 BC). The identification of this object as a chisel as well as the dating criteria are rather tentative. The artefact is incomplete and poorly preserved. The metal surface is also irregular being heavily cracked and laminated on one face and pitted and abraded on the other - there is also a suggestion that it may have been miscast. All these elements make a positive dated identification difficult. The chisel fragment comprises the upper part of the blade, side projections / trunnions / …
