Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: EAST SUSSEX
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy closed thimble of probable Post Medieval date (c. AD 1550-1700).The thimble has a domed crown from which the body tapers gently, terminating in a broad, decorated band at the rim. The indentations of the thimble follow a spiral pattern in an anti-clockwise direction on the crown; around the circumference of the body the indentations appear in four bands in a regular sequence. At one point it is possible to see an overlapping of these indentations, suggesting use of a pattern for the production of this detail, prior to forming. The band on the rim is decorated w…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded cast copper-alloy annular brooch of Medieval date, incomplete in as much as the original pin is missing; (the pin shown has been re-created by the finder). The frame is circular in plan and broadly D-shaped in cross-section due to steep internal bevelling, with more gentle bevelling at the exterior. The underside of the brooch is flat. A small section of the frame is notched to accommodate the original pin. This artefact has corroded to a mid-green colour; however at two points across the brooch a red-brown corrosion product normally indicative of corroding iron is present,…

A slightly worn silver Medieval short cross cut quarter penny of John (1199-1216), struck by the moneyer Miles, uncertain mint, Class 5 (AD 1204-1210). The presence of a normal 'S' with central pellet might suggest this coin is class 5b (cf. North 1991 Vol II, No. 970), which would suit the moneyer Miles of Oxford, though the lack of mint prevents a secure classification.

A very worn and corroded highly debased silver Roman denarius of uncertain Flavian emperor, with Eagle facing left on cippus reverse. Uncertain mint, c. AD 69-96. Reece period 4. According to the broad pictoral reverse type this coin could be dated to AD 75, AD 76 or AD 80-81, but further clarification is not possible due to the illegible legends on both obverse and reverse faces (cf. RIC vol. II, plate I, fig. 9)

An incomplete, corroded and bent cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age or early Roman period one-piece brooch of 'Nauheim derivative' La Tene III type dating to the 1st century AD.
