Object type: NEEDLE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete bone needle with off-centre eye. The needle splays out to accommodate the eye then tapers to a long (54.3mm) point at one end with a rounded section and a shorter (32.8mm), marginally broader point at the other with a flatter section. The bone used has a natural, gentle curve and it is on the outer, convex surface that the hollow diaphysis has been left to frame the eye like a larger human eye. The needle is an even, light cream colour with a polish over its entire surface.

A complete bone needle with off-centre eye. The needle splays out to accommodate the eye then tapers to a long (44.2mm) point at one end with a rounded section and a shorter (20.7mm), broader point at the other with a flat section. The natural, inner hollow shape of the bone has been left forming slightly raised edges either side of the circular 2.8mm eye. A similar design needle from Little Woodbury, near Salisbury, is held at the British Museum with an Iron Age date (500 - 100BC). The needle is an even, light cream colour with a polish over most of its surface except for the inner i…

Record ID: PUBLIC-F43E54
Object type: NEEDLE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete bone needle, broken across the eye. This needle was possibly an off-centre holed type, similar to the two intact ones found on the site PAS records PUBLIC-F45615 and PUBLIC-F46D28). The remaining point is 44.5mm long and 4.5mm at the eye with an oval section becoming rounder towards the tip. It has a patchy light brown/cream colouration with quite a rough surface. This needle was excavated from a posthole and is very similar to PUBLIC-40962, also found on site.

An incomplete bone needle, broken off mid-point, at the eye. This needle was probably an off-centre holed type, similar to the two intact ones found on the site PAS records PUBLIC-45615 and PUBLIC-F46D28. The remaining point is 41mm long, 6mm at the widest part with a flattened oval section and tapers gradually to the tip. It is a cream colour with a smooth and shiny surface, probably polished through much usage being pulled through textiles. Approximately 16mm up from the tip there appears to be rodent tooth marks.

Object type: POINT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked bone point, possibly the end of a needle or hairpin. The surface is a light cream colour and polished smooth and shiny with a roughly circular section. The end opposite the point has been snapped at an angle and has a similar patina suggesting it was broken during use rather than post depositional. Possibly dating Iron Age - Roman.

An incomplete middle Iron Age bone weaving comb dating 400-101BC. This weaving comb is a truncated triangle in plan with the teeth carved along the base. The shape of the comb follows the natural curved of the bone. The teeth have been carved in one with the handle. There are two bands of decoration carved into the bone, one just above the teeth and another approximately midway along the handle. The decoration is only on the outer surface of the bone. The decoration has been carved to create a twisted rope motif of repeated diagonal lines within a linear border above and below. The ma…

A bone toggle or cheek piece from horse harness which is probably Iron Age or Roman in date. The toggle is 85.5mm long and is cylindrical, with a diameter of 21.8mm.
