Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete copper alloy finger ring of uncertain date (see discussion). It comprises a lenticular-sectioned strip of copper alloy 5.2mm in width coiled into one complete loop and two half loops, each terminating in a worn break. It has a smooth dark green patina with some pitting. Coiled finger rings of this form first appear in the central European late Middle Bronze Age Tumulus culture (1600-1300 BC), however, coiled finger rings remained popular throughout the Iron Age and Roman periods through to the Early Medieval, with examples noted from Colchester (Crummy 1983: 48, no. 1758…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy ring of uncertain date. D-shaped cross-section. The exterior surface exhibits a circumferential casting seam which has been filed flat. Some traces of wear on the inner suface. Smooth, dark green patina with traces of lighter green abraded areas. Rings of this form are difficult to date and identify due to the fact that they could perform a variety of utilitarian functions. Similar examples have been assigned dates ranging between the Bronze Age and post medieval and have been associated with a range of objects including cooking vessels, horse harness and personal dres…

Conical lead weight of uncertain date. The base is uneven and has an upwards-curled lip runnig around the circumference. Projecting from the top is an iron shank or loop, teminating in an old break and now heavily corroded. Weights can be difficult to date outside of a stratified context due to the fact that they are generally utilitarian objects and forms do not vary significantly over time. Weights of this form are evidenced from the Roman through to the post medieval period and numerous weight-related functions are likely, perhaps as a steelyard weight, standing weight, net weig…
