Object type: RIBBON
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Published
TREASURE CASE 2018 T373. Description: An incomplete strip of decorated gold, of probable Bronze Age dating (c. 2150 BC to c. 1150 BC). The strip is an oval/ellipse shaped band that tapers towards the possible terminals. The terminals have a corrugated appearance consisting of three or four peaks and troughs, each created length-ways for approximately one quarter of the object's length. The central section of the band is undecorated but, like the rest of the object, displays a number of scuffs and striations to both surfaces. There is evidence of a fold at either end of the corrugat…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A folded fragment of gold strip or ribbon, dating to the Bronze Age c. 2350-800 BC. The ribbon is rectangular in plan and made from a beaten sheet of gold. It has been folded or bent out of shape in several locations. One surface of the ribbon is decorated with thirteen regular, longitudinal, incised grooves, creating ridges. The exterior longitudinal edges are slightly thicker than the internal ridges, creating a border to the band. Both terminals appear to have been cut leaving a straight edge. The longitudinal edges have likely been smoothed, as they are rounder when compared w…

Object type: RAZOR
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age copper alloy razor. The razor is crescet shaped and thicker along the back edge, tapering to a sharp cuting edge. The cutting edge is pitted through corrosion but otherwise damage is minimal. Two small circular holes (4.04mm diameter) at either end of the back of the razor are presumably for attaching the blade to some kind of handle. A good parallel for this object can be seen among the metal finds from Potterne in Wiltshire (Lawson, 2000, 188-9). This razor, with a convex cutting edge, two perforations and tapering cross section, is described as 'of a…

Potential Treasure of possible Bronze Age pendant from Charminster, Dorset
Treasure case: 2006 T380
Circumstances of discovery
Found in September 2004 while using a metal detector; it was 'a few inches deep' in a field of stubble.
Description
A cigar-shaped strip of gold with sub-square terminals. The two long sides are asymmetric, one being more bowed than the other, but this may be due to a stronger buckle affecting the latter. The strip thins to either terminal, but the long edges have marginal lipping from edge finishing. The perforation is…
