A ceramic wheel-thrown rim and neck sherd, probably dating to the Medieval period (49mm x 40.3mm; thickness: 12.9mm; weight: 21.76g). This unglazed beige sherd has a very gritty and hard-fired fabric with a particularly sandy and micaceous surface. The sherd’s thickness deceases as the sherd continues down to what would have been the main body of the vessel. The sherd is in a slightly worn but fair condition.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Published

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A wrought iron medieval arrowhead of 'spearpoint' type. The corroded arrowhead has a circular socket which is damaged but when complete would have measured approximately 10.5 mm in diameter. The head is triangular in shape with very short barbs. It is lozenge shaped in section. The arrowhead measures 56.42 mm long, 15.59 mm wide, 9.36 mm thick and weighs 6.3 grams.
Arrowheads found outside a dated archaeological context are difficult to date precisely. Their typological sequences do not necessarily correspond to a chronological development and so attempting to date them on sty…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small sherd of late Iron Age pottery (35mm x 41mm; thickness: 8.5mm; weight: 14.00g). A fairly smooth, hard and thick probable sand-tempered fabric with large inclusions throughout and protruding out of the surface. The sherd is a light brown/ red colourwhile the inner surface is almost black in places.
This sherd is very similar to examples found during excavations at Gussage All Saints in Dorset, particularly the type classified as Fabric A/C (Wainwright, 1979, pages 49-51). From these other examples, this sherd may have come from a bead rim vessel or flat rimmed barrel jar. In gen…

A small sherd of Iron Age pottery (28.5mm x 27mm, thickness: 9.5mm; weight: 5.54g). A hard and fairly thick probable sand-tempered fabric with a smooth fracture and a small even distribution of quartzite throughout. The outer and interior surfaces are fairly rough and a dark grey, black colour.
This sherd is very similar to examples found during excavations at Gussage All Saints in Dorset that have been classed as Fabric A/B. From these other examples, we could suggest that this sherd may have come from a bead rim vessel or a flat rimmed barrel jar. In general, these vessels were wheel…

Workflow stage: Published
A complete sub-cylindrical decorated polychrome glass bead, with flattened ends (diameter: 9.1mm; thickness: 7.7mm; weight: 0.87g), dating to the Early Medieval period, probably 6th-8th century AD.

These colours have been applied irregularly and in no distinctive pattern. The hole which is slightly off-centre in the bead (created by a metal rod when the bead was made) is also of irregular shape, with the diameter being …

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly incomplete and broken hollow-based arrowhead (length: 22.3mm; width: 19.4mm; thickness: 3.4mm; weight: 1.28g), probably dating between 2500-1400 BC. The arrowhead has been extensively knapped with areas of re-touch along the egdes. One of the barbs is slightly incomplete, but it is difficult to identify whether this is a recent break.Many of these arrowheads appear in Ireland and the distributional evidence suggests that some of those found in Britain were either imports from Ireland or local copies. Only one certain hollow-based arrowhead in an associated context occurs …
