Broad period: ROMAN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete Roman fitting, probably part of a buckle froma military belt set. Cast in copper alloy there is traces of tinning on the surface. The surviving fragment is sub-rectangular with a curved lower edge and a circular perforation projecting from the apex, which is perpendicular to the main fitting. The fragment is similar to buckles illustrated in Frere, 1984, Verulamium excavations volume III fig 13.94/95. This buckle is military and of Early Roman, pre-Flavian date. Parallels can be found in Grew and Griffiths,1991. Early Roman, c. AD 43-96.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Published
A post-medieval copper-alloy rectangular double-looped buckle, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin, but otherwise complete. The frame is plain, flat and wide, with one slightly distorted edge and a narrowed central bar. Corroded, the frame is 35.64 mm long by 23.83 mm wide. It is 2.15 mm thick and weighs 4.61 g. It can be compared with an example illustrated by Whitehead (2003, 75; no. 462), which he dates to c. 1570-1700, but without giving archaeological evidence in support of such a date.
