An incomplete copper alloy Middle Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (1500-300 BC) 'half-moustache'-like object, measuring 35.13x(max)17.52x(max)17.80mm and weighing 38.73g. On the underside the object is tear-drop shaped, with a circular hole c.9mm in diameter at the wider end. The edges of the hole are jagged but worn, suggesting ancient damage. The hole is 5.59mm deep and conical. The underside tapers to 8.72mm wide before rounding at the other end. In profile the object has a large hump at the wider end, 17.36mm tall. The underside is slightly convex at this point. The hump narrows a…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete Middle Bronze Age to Early Iron Age bronze 'half-moustache'-like object with damage at both ends. It measures 36.24x9.87x9.84mm and weighs 10.74g. The object resembles half a moustache and consists of one solid pointed drop-shape. It is uncertain if it was originally a single half (as these are known) or one half of an original whole which would have been joined to the second half by a (probably perforated) central area. At the wider end (9.87x9.84mm) the jagged (old) break stands 3.6mm proud of the solid object, suggesting the end would have been hollow, perhaps for …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable worked strip of gold, reminiscent in shape of a medieval strap-end or possibly a pendant Bronze Age in date. One end (the wider, 9.6mm wide) is broken (recent-ish) and the strap then tapers to an end 4.2mm wide with a broken loop (also recent-ish) projecting from it (internal diameter c.2.2mm). The long edges are finished. One face has an indented line flanking the long edges and curving round behind the projecting loop. Measures 32.3mm in length and weighs 1.24g. It is rather dented in places and the finder says it was folded when he found it. He thought it was a piece o…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Unidentified copper alloy/ bronze object, oval in shape with a crescentic cut at one end. It measures 49.6x40x7.3mm and weighs 48.13g. The surfaces are bumpy and all original patina has been lost. The metal is a rich orangey brown in colour, not dissimilar to the colour of some Bronze Age metal work. Where this brown has been worn away the metal beneath is bluey green. The crescentic cut seems intentional and appears to have a smooth, worn edge.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of ??Bronze Age copper alloy object, consisting of one face and part of a side at 90° to it. This edge is triangular in shape, its edges or ?'breaks' a rather clean break. At the opposite side of the face the metal is bent slightly backwards as though this break is where another side extended. This would give a width of 28mm across the front and a give the object a socketed function. No patina remains and the metal is a light green in colour with much black covering the surface, ?sooting. Although the metal does not necessarily have a Bronze Age quality to it, the shape is in…

Fragment of copper alloy object, measuring 15x10.5x3mm and weighing 3.54g, and comprising two faces joined at right angles. The colour of the metal is dark grey. Most of the patina is missing except for a few shiny areas very light green in colour, almost 'pearly'. The fragment was found in an area where fragments of Late Bronze Age socketed axeheads have been found. It may possibly also be fragment, but is probably unlikely.

Fragment of copper alloy object, measuring 26.5x22x2mm and weighing 10.16g, and comprising two faces joined at right angles. The fragment was found in an area where fragments of Late Bronze Age socketed axeheads have been found. It may possibly also be fragment, given its shape. The larger face is also curving and has a possible ?hammer mark. However, all the patina is missing, and the metal is a purpley-brown colour, which suggests a post-medieval date.
