A fragment of copper alloy, beaded, sectional bracelet dating to c. 200 BC - AD 100. An almost complete short section, probably from a two-part bracelet. The piece is parallel sided and curving, D-shaped at one and and to C-shaped in cross section for the remainder (convex on the upper face). Three of the beads are open and hollow at the rear, the fourth is hollow and closed at the base. The "beads" are well cast and are rather pointed. Underneath one of the end beads the sides each have a circular attachment hole at the outer edge. Date: Iron Ag…

A fragment of gold strip or bar with a flared terminal. The strip has been coiled with the terminal on the inside. The strip is rectangular in cross section. At one end is a flared, flat-ended, terminal (approximately 4.5 mm thick) which is oval in cross section. At the other the strip has a deliberate angled cut. The strip is flattened from the terminal and expands in width to the cut end. The sides have been raised to create low flanges. This is slightly more prominent along the edges of one face (the outer face of the coil) than the other. The strip is 1.4 mm thick at the ridge…

A incomplete copper alloy bracelet. Both terminals are broken and incomplete. At one end the bracelet has a flattened, rectangular cross section and is slightly expanded. It is likely that this terminal continued into a pierced tab through which the missing hooked terminal would have passed to secure the bracelet in use. From this expanded terminal the band of the bracelet tapers into an rounded cross section. It tapers further to the break at the other missing terminal where it was probably hooked originally. The surface of the bracelet is worn, but there are occasional traces of mou…

Description:  The object appears to be made from a bar that was deliberately split and then hammered into flattened strands. The object is U-shaped in plan and comprises three integral sections. One consisting of extending arms, a rod shaped mid piece, and a warped flattened section. The bar has a rectangular cross section that is 4.3mm long, 4.0mm wide and 3.1mm thick. From one end of this bar the bar splits into four separate strands that each takes up half of two sides of the bar. Each strand narrows from this triangular profile to become flat being c. 3.6mm wide and c.1mm t…

Description: A rolled fragment from a gold bracelet dating to the Middle Bronze Age c.1400-1100 cal BC. The bracelet is made from a single rectangular gold sheet whose section is possibly slightly crescent shaped with a convex outer surface and concave inner surface. The long outer edges of the sheet are also slightly expanded. This has been tightly rolled down its length over 450 degrees. One terminal is at the centre of the spiral so that it is not possible to determine if it was broken or represents the original end however it clearly ends with a clean transverse edge. The opposite…
