Copper alloy unidentified object. A narrow straight-sided strip with a drilled rivet hole of diameter 1.7mm towards one end and possibly broken across a further hole at the other. The rivet hole may hint at a medieval date. A function associated with a strap or as a strap fitting might be implied by its narrow form. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1250-1400 Length: 29mm, Width: 6.6mm, Thickness: 0.7mm, Weight: 0.77gms

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible buckle fragment. A part of what is taken to be the cast spacer plate from a buckle of composite construction, retaining the inner edge of a small single loop and a prong – presumably one of a pair. The lack of a hole for the pin might suggest that the spacer has broken across that aperture or may hint that the spacer was part of a strap end rather than a buckle. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450 Length: 19.1mm, Width: 8.1mm, Thickness (at loop): 3mm, Weight: 1.47gms

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy probable vessel fragment. Cast plano-convex section fragment from a cauldron leg with a pronounced moulded rib on its outer side, flat behind. Raggedly broken at both ends of its short remaining extent. This might suggest multiple casting flaws, the vigorous dismantling of an object for recycling, or recurrent plough-strike damage - pot legs are robust objects and this pattern of breakage is unusual. So too, for a cauldron leg, is the lack of sooting - though black spots were observed on the magnified views achieved during image processing, so this could have been part of …

Lead window came fragment. A short length of cast H-section window came with a trapped fragment of dark degraded glass at one end on one side. Patinated. This came would have permitted the setting of two small adjacent panes. The glass is reverting to its constituent ingredients, which is a feature of a medieval ‘forest’ glass made using potash, rather than the more robust soda glasses of earlier and later times. The width of the slot suggests a thickness of c.2.5mm for the panes. The reporting of window came of medieval date among field finds is remarkably rare. Suggested …

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy late Roman finger ring. This consists of the all-metal bezel, which is flat in profile and oval in plan, measuring c.12.5x9mm. The bezel has the remains of a motif of dots, arranged in a cross shape. The bezel is flat and thinner than the hoop of the finger ring. It may be part of a keeled ring, although this cannot be said for certain as most of the band is missing. The shoulders at either side of the bezel are sub-triangular in plan: they narrow at the point where they join the bezel (c. 7.40mm width), widen again briefly to c. 7.85mm be…

A complete cast copper alloy Roman votive axehead. The axehead is sub-rectangular in plan. In profile, it is wedge-shaped, with the 'cutting end' being 0.80mm thick at the edge. The opposite (handle) end has a thickness of 3.56mm at the edge and is truncated by a flat, sub-rectangular face featuring an oval depression at its centre. The thicker end also has a transverse circular perforation all the way through, which sits near the top edge rather than centrally. The whole surface is covered by a shiny, compact dark green-grey patina, but features shallow scratches throughout. …

Copper alloy vessel fragment. Cast vessel leg with a single central longitudinal rib on its outer side and with a flat to slightly concave back. Tapered slightly towards a flat base; broken raggedly across the top. There is only a slight trace of sooting on the ribbed side, which might suggest this object to have been detached from an item of formal tableware such as a ewer rather than from a cauldron.
