Circular copper alloy scabbard chape for a Spatha sword. The Spatha, originally used by Roman cavalry units gradually replaced the infantry Gladius in the third and fourth centuries AD. At this time, pointed scabbard chapes had also fallen out of use, so it is likely that the object dates to this period. On one side the chape has a large rivet(?) hole of 6.39mm diameter at the top and a small hole of 3.54mm diameter in the middle that appears contemporaneous with the manufacture of the object. On the other side there is a small hole of 3.34mm diameter, roughly in alignment with the la…

Two ceramic vessel sherds of Prehistoric date. It has not been possible to date the sherds more precisely than to say that they are likely to have been made between the Neolithic and Iron Age. Both of the sherds are formed of a ubiquitus flint gritted fabric and both are from hand made vessels. The total weight of the two sherds is 10.70g. One sherd is dark grey, 7.67mm thick, weighs 5.33g and is 26.61mm x 22.96mm. This sherd shows a little surface treatment (smoothed or possibly burnished) and pinching. The second sherd is also a darker grey but slightly lighter than the first wi…

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: City of Peterborough
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Copper-alloy, single headed, snake form belt hook. The 'S' shaped hook is in the form of a snake. The tail end curves round more tightly, than the head end, with only a gap of 1.28mm between the end of the tail and the body demonstrating that this was the 'fixed' end. The tail end of the loop is stained with iron corrosion due to the presence of part of the belt fitting surviving. The fragment of belt fitting is iron and consists of a loop (external diameter 14.61mm, internal diameter 7.87mm) surrounding the snake and a bar 16.84mm in length and 4.30mm wide extending from the loop a…

A solid copper-alloy cylinder. The incomplete artefact might be part of a handle or leg belonging to a cauldron or cooking vessel. The object has a diameter of c.30.77mm increasing to 31.81mm, is c.55.66mm long and weighs more than 200g (being too heavy to weigh on the precise scales that I have for weighing artefacts. The artefact weighs approximately 275g on a set of basic non-calibrated kitchen scales). Similar to P.A.S. (Portable Antiquities Scheme) records WMID-FD54D1, YORYM-7581H1 & SF-665463 although much heavier than these examples, which might suggest that it is a leg from a …

A copper-alloy dress hook of Post-Medieval date, 16th to 17th century AD. This artefact is a Read's Class E, type 3 dress hook. The tag has a rectangular framed attachment loop, 12.54mm wide and 5.45mm high. The bar of the frame is 1.91mm wide and 1.43mm thick. The plate of the tag is octofoil in shape however the lobe opposite the hook and nearest the attachment loop is absent as intended by the design of the plate. The plate has two perforations which might suggest that the design of the plate was intended to include openwork. The plate has a diameter of 16.43mm and is 2.10mm thick…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: City of Peterborough
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy double oval looped, flat framed (spectacle) buckle dating from c.135-1650. The buckle is complete except that the pin is missing. The buckle consists of a central bar with a decorative lobed knop that extends past the outer edges of the frame at either end of the strap bar. The moulding of one of these lobes is slightly crude as the lobe has not been fully defined and excess metal remains the area between the lobe and the frame where a gap should be present. This bar is 2.86mm wide, 15.31mm long internally and has an external length of 27.38 including both lobes. To eit…

Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL

An incomplete copper-alloy hooked clothing tag of Early-Medieval to early Medieval date. This tag is likely to be a Read, B. Early Medieval Class A, Type 1, probably in the form of two attachment holes but this is uncertain due to the incomplete state of this artefact. The tag is made of sheet metal and is triangular in shape. At least part of the top of the hooked tag plate is missing, the left hand side corner, as well as the majority of the hook. The top edge of the tag seems to have probably been scalloped of at least two semicircular curves. At the centre of this edge, at the poi…
