Object type: HOARD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
In 2012 a Middle Bronze Age hoard was discovered while metal detecting on cultivated land. The find consists of 41 copper alloy objects split across two deposits or concentrations of finds, with a small number of finds found a short distance away. All the objects are of a similar typo-chronology and are likely to represent a single hoard comprised of 31 'ornaments', 8 'tools' and 4 'other' or unidentified objects. The artefacts were recovered by the finders from two deposits in close proximity (c.2-3m apart), with two pits subsequently identified by a local amateur archaeology grou…

Object type: COIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly worn copper-alloy Roman radiate 'minim' coin of an uncertain third century ruler (c. AD 260-296). The 'minim' is formed by the cutting down of the larger radiate coin. The obverse depicts a clearly defined radiate crown and curled hair facing right, whilst the reverse possibly depicts the body of an animal moving right, with two short back legs to the left of the coin. It is possible that there are two arching lines above the animal's body indicating horns, such as those found on reverse types of Gallienus (AD 260-268). The detail on the obverse suggests the use of a non-b…

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded, worn and clipped lead-alloy token of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1800). It is decorated on one side with a central circle above which a series of lines extend, possibly to form a crown. The other side features two parallel lines with outward curving ends that might represent a stylised initial or unclear motif. The token has a moderately thin body with a light grey-white patina. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval to late Post Medieval in date (c. AD 1250…

A fragment of a possible knapped flint pick, dating to the Mesolithic period (c. 8300-4001 BC). The pick is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-lentoid in cross section through the centre and across the break. The cutting edge of the pick is crescentic in plan, with a curved upper surface and concave lower surface in profile. A series of large removals are visible to the mesial edges with finer removals at the cutting edge. Cortex is retained along the central ridge of the dorsal face, extending from the break to the cutting edge; this is focused near to the break in a sub-lozengical form…

A nearly complete polished Neolithic stone axehead (c.3500 - 2351 BC). The axe is an elongated piriform shape in plan with a crescentic cutting edge, and an elliptical profile. It has been finely polished overall but has suffered later modification resulting in a fractured and uneven surface; the butt of the axe has a moderate removal, with extensive removals on both surfaces of the axe at the crescentic cutting edge. Additional moderate retouch is visible along the mesial edges of one surface. The axe has a fine light grey to white colour overall. The axe measures 146.8mm in lengt…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy double looped sub-annular buckle, with recessed narrowed strap bar. Some of the buckle plate remains but the pin is missing. The plate is formed from a bent plate, which loops around the strap bar. The bend has been recessed to allow the missing pin to sit there. The end of the plate is damaged with evidence of a broken rivet hole. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The metal and buckle plate metal are a greenish-brown colour.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Post Medieval rectangular double looped cast copper alloy buckle with drilled frame for a separate iron spindle. The spindle is now missing along with the pin/chape. The frame is plain with a distinct arch in profile suggesting it is from a shoe, knee or hat. The centre of the long sides are expanded downwards into an oval at the centre and drilled through the expansion for the spindle. It measures 40.3mm long by 33.2mm wide and 2.6mm thick. It weighs 6.23 grams. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, (2003) p104/105 which he dates from AD 1720 to 1790s.

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small cast copper-alloy chisel of uncertain date, possibly Roman-Medieval. The chisel is roughly triangular in plan, ranging from sub-triangular to sub-rectangular in cross-section. The narrow end is flat and sub-rectangular and the wider blade-end is flat and sub-triangular. It has an even dark green patina in keeping with objects of this date in Sussex. However, due to insufficient diagnostic features, it is difficult to suggest a specific date for this object. The chisel measures 37.2 mm long, 7.15 mm wide, 4.9 mm thick and weighs 6.6 grams.
