Copper alloy cast pin, probably Medieval, possibly of 14th or early 15th century date The pin is complete, with a slightly distorted shank (with a length of 142.4mm and a weight of 6.3g). The copper alloy head is globular or of flattened-spherical (with a diameter of 8.3mm and a height of 6.6mm). There is no applied decoration evident on the head. The shank is also of copper alloy and has a fairly consistent diameter, but narrows slightly along its length (with a diameter beneath the head of 2.5mm and 2.3mm at its midsection) before converging to the tip. The surface is poorly pr…

Copper alloy object, possibly a surgical implement of Roman date The object is fragmentary, broken or cut on one end and is slightly distorted (with a distorted length of 118.6mm and a weight of 2.4g). Approximately half of the abject is circular-sectioned (1.6mm diameter) and the other half is flattened with a subtle midrib on one face and flat on the opposite face (with a width of 2.7mm and a thickness of 1.2mm). The midrib ends before the break, where the object is slightly thicker (at 1.9mm) possibly because of cutting with a pliers or similar tool. The surface has been strip…

Lead alloy button of uncertain date, probably medieval or early Post Medieval The button is complete (with an overall depth of 12.1mm and a weight of 14.6g). The head is sub-circular (with a diameter of 28.6mm - 29.6mm and 5mm thick). The face is slightly convex and is decorated with three cast concentric ribs around a central knop. The underside has a comparatively heavy attachment loop (6.8mm thick, 13.7mm long and 6.8mm high) of D-shaped section. The perforation (3.3mm diameter) has been cast by inserting a rod into the mold, which has formed the parallel ribs, or guides running i…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval to post medieval copper alloy looped fitting The fitting is complete (with a length of 25.2mm, a depth of 8.0mm, a thickness of 1.5mm and a weight of 2.2g).

On the rear (near the pointed end) is an integral, circular sectioned loop (8.2mm wide, 1.8mm diameter and 6.4mm high) defining a circular aperture (4.4mm diameter). Little of the original surface survives on the fitting and no applied decoration is discernible. The s…
