Record ID: DEV-1A00A1
Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Published
A fragmentary copper-alloy Roman initial T-shaped brooch dating to AD 50-150, now just comprising the upper bow and head, the latter now broken.
One of the wings is seemingly intact, while the other is broken at its junction with the bow. On the reverse, the broken wing is also abraded revealing the channel for the axis bar; the pin, of course, is missing. The extant wing is broadly circular, though squared off at the top. Retained within it are the remains of a probably iron bar, as suggested by traces of iron corrosion product in a longitudinal groove …

Object type: SPOON
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment from a copper-alloy spoon probably of Roman date. The fragment is broken at both ends: diagonally across the bowl and at the point at which what appears to be an unusual junction element connects the bowl and handle. The bowl, being highly truncated, is of indeterminate form, but has a rounded oval back where it connects to the junction element. This latter rises up from the back of the bowl at ninety degrees to it. It is broadly of flat oval form, with a deep notch cut out of its front edge adjacent to the bowl. The object has a grey surface colour. The presence of such a …

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A body fragment from an early Roman copper-alloy wide-cuff bracelet. The fragment is broadly rectangular, broken at both ends. It has a very shallow curve in profile, exaggerated at one end presumably due to post-depositional damage. In cross-section it is thin and rectangular. The upper surface is decorated longitudinally by an incised border at both edges, within which a grooved channel. Within these is what appears to be a complementary grooved channel within the centre of which sits a ridge decorated with diagonally incised nicks. The effect is of ropework either side of a centra…
