A fragment of an Early Bronze Age flint implement, possibly an arrowhead or blade with rippled flaking on both faces. It measures 24.12x19.61x3.36mm and weighs 1.7g. The flint is transluscent and a pale brown/ grey in colour. It has been snapped at both ends. One face has 75% diagonally stacked ripple flake scars against one long edge, with additional pressure flaking along both original long edges.

Record ID: WILT-44C630
Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Late Bronze Age (1150-750 BC) gold-plated penannular ring, measuring 17.35x17.40x5.75mm and weighing 6.90g. This is a probable addenda to 2011 T534. Bronze corrosion has leached from the copper alloy core out through the terminals, cementing both ends and encrusting part of the openwork centre, which measures c.6.7x5.6. The ring is oval in cross-section and seems to narrow a little towards the terminals ( 5.75mm thick at the centre, narrowing to 5.30mm and 5.34mm). Decorative banding of a lighter-coloured gold is just visible, c.5.7mm wide and three on each face.

Record ID: WILT-F9DDA2
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Swindon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of Middle Bronze Age (1400-1250 BC) bronze socketed spearhead, with some (recent) edge damage and surface pitting along prominent areas. It consists of part of the blade up to the tip. Measures 73.97x(max)21.69x(max)12.58mm and weighs 24.2g. In cross-section, the central socket is diamond-shaped, with an additional crest-like ridge on both faces and the edges of the socket between curving and not straight. At the (old) break, an off-centre socket 3.14mm in diameter is visible, extending 3.31mm deep. This is presumably the end of the socket. One edge is badly damaged but the…

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probably Early Bronze Age (2150 BC - 1500 BC) attempt at producing a knife, with flake removal scars probably as a result of trying to thin in. There is steep retouch at the wider, thicker end and also at a corner at the other end - this is probably blunting for where the knife would have been held. The flint is dark grey in colour with light patination. Measures 46.94x45.32x14.97mm and weighs 32.2g.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possily incomplete Bronze Age (2150 BC - 800 BC) copper alloy awl, measuring 39.57mm in length and weighing 2.71g. Both ends are damaged, with possibly a small amount of missing at the wider end. The centre of the awl, which is square in cross-section, measures 3.85x3.70mm. It becomes circular in cross-section and narrows to a damaged point 1.62mm in diameter. In the other direction from the centre, the awl slightly widens (4.48mm wide) and thins (1.16mm) to the damaged end, which is perhaps not as thin as it could be. The awl has a smooth shiny patina and hammer and tooling marks.

Object type: SWORD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Gloucestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of Late Bronze Age (1150 to 800BC) probable sword hilt with flanged edges, measuring 22.63x18.34x(max)3.41mm and weighing 4.54g. The fragment is from close to either the terminal or where the hilt joins the shoulders, as a slot or rivet holes for fixing (which would be apparent along most of the hilt) are not immediately apparent. However the breaks at either end are very worn, and one has a slight change of depth, possibly indicating the top of a slot of rivet hole. The fragment is ']' shaped in profile, with the flanges more apparent on one side than the other, altho…
