Bone whistle made from mammal bone, probably a sheep or goat metacarpal, measuring 74 mm in length, 11 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 2mm. The curved face has one very neat hole drilled or bored into it toward the proximal end, presumably for the thumb. The flat face has two neat holes drilled or bored in it c.5mm from the thumbhole on the other side. Although broken at both ends, the preservation of the bone is good.

A cast copper alloy object, possibly a strap distributor/union or toggle of uncertain date. The object is Y-shaped comprising of a central, cylindrical stem with two branching arms of the same shape, all with drilled holes, c.3.6mm in diameter, at the slightly expanded terminal ends. The object measures 46.2mm in length, 9.2mm thick and weighs 18.7g. Several close parallels for this object have been recorded on the PAS database (e.g. NLM-D4F4D3 and SF-5F8DA2). A Roman or Iron Age date has been suggested, but with little evidence, and their date and function is not clear.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
The find consists of a rhomboidal fragment of strip of roughly rectangular section which has been cut at both ends. Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum identified the metal as brass, with no detectable precious metal. It is therefore not defined as Treasure under the terms of the Act.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy finger ring. The ring is 'D' shaped in section and circular in plan. The inner face is flattened. The ring is completely plain making dating it to a particular period problematic. A finger ring of this type could date from the Iron Age to Post-Medieval date. However, the patina of the copper alloy, an even dark green, is typical of Roman finds from this area.

A copper-alloy incomplete artefact. The object is a zooamorphic head, possibly of an otter. The object seems to have previously been attached to something else probably made of iron as iron corrosion adheres to the underside, chin and lower neck, of the animal. The object weighs 11.45g, is 36.16mm long, 10.36mm wide and 8.37mm thick.

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cuboid flint nodule. Use if any is uncertain but the nodule could have been used as a hammerstone or some other tool. The nodule may not have been worked by man but the cuboid shape is interesting and possibly suggestive of human alteration rather than natural formation. If the nodule has been worked it is likely to have been chipped or pecked at to remove tiny angular pieces, rather than knapped which results in flakes being removed. If this object has been altered by man it is probably of Prehistoric date. This item needs to be looked at by a lithics specialist. Dimensions: 46.04m…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A miniture flint axehead rejuvinated from a bigger and older Neolithic polished stone axe. The secondary knapping is of cruder quality than the original workmanship. This artefact might have been a child's toy or votive item. Although the original artefact is of Neolithic date it is not currently possible to determine a likely date for the reworking, however this is most likely to have taken place at somepoint during prehistoric periods. Dimensions: weight 56.65g, length 75.03mm, thickness 20.12mm, width, at widest point by cutting edge, is 44.44mm, width at narrowest end, haft end, i…

A rounded flint nodule. Use if any is uncertain but the nodule could have been used as a hammerstone or some other tool. The nodule may not have been worked by man but the surface is covered in small angular depressions very similar to those covering the surface of the object recorded on the PAS database with record number CAM-8CB781 and is slightly more suggestive of having been worked due to it's cuboid shape. If the nodule has been worked it is likely to have been chipped or pecked at to remove tiny angular pieces, rather than knapped which results in flakes being removed. If …
