A cast copper alloy ring or handle of uncertain date. The object is made of a circular sectioned bar that is bent into a half circle in plan. Both terminals are marked by slightly ragged transverse breaks so that the original circuit is not possible to determine. The object is 57.7mm long, and has a diamater of c.6.8mm. it weighs 24.01 grams. This might have been a handle or dervie from a copper alloy ring.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy gaming piece or weight of uncertain date. The object is sub-conical with a base that has an uneven concave hollow at its centrebase and tapering sides to a rounded top. It appears undecorated. The object is 18.8mm tall, 23.2mm in diameter and weighs 41.50 g. Lead objects such as this are common metal detector finds but are rare from excavated contexts. This means that the dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. Similarly shaped objects are known from Viking contexts and are interpreted as weig…

A possible burin formed on a crude blade of white flint. Unknown date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age (10,000 - 1000 BC). It is unclear where the flint was struck from. The faces are uneven, and most have a stepped termination scar. One end of the blade is much narrower and thinner. One side of this projection has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch, possibly to form a burin. There appears to be a removal across the end of the spur from the retouched edge. The tool is 38.1mm long, 16.3mm wide, 8.2mm thick. 3.3g. Burins are typically mesolithic, but the reuse of a crude blade i…
