PUBLIC-81D0D8: SLEEVE CLASP
An incomplete copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) sleeve clasp catch-element. It is sub-rectangular in shape and slightly curved in profile. The plate and bar are cast in one piece with the sub rectangular catch-element, within which is a long oval slot, projecting from the centre of a straight front edge. The rectangular plate has a straight outer edge and an integrally cast, narrow, longitudinally positioned bar projecting from the inner edge of the outer face. The outer face of this bar is decorated with two groups of two transverse grooves, creating a small central bar within the design. There is a small circular hole through each corner of the outer edge of the plate one of which is damaged where the corner of the plate is missing. The surface of the metal has an even dull green patina and the breaks are well worn. This example belongs to Hines (1993, 64-5) Type B20, which are a large and disparate group that are dated primarily to the 6th century AD with a few examples from late 5th century contexts (ibid.). Originally it would have been paired with a catch-element allowing both parts of the garment sleeves to be secured together. Penn and Brugmann (2007) do not explicitly include Type 20 in their re-assement of East Anglian cemetery assemblages (although it probably fits within their Type wcBar, which lies within their Phase FA2a-b, which dates to c.AD 480-c.500-530/550), but they do suggest that sleeve-clasp usage came to an end around c.AD 550 ((ibid., 29). A date range of c.AD 480-c.550 would therefore seem plausible. Measurements :- Length: 32.15mm, width: 14.87mm, thickness: 2.12mm, weight: 3.9g

PUBLIC-F451D1: BODKIN
Description: An incomplete silver post-medieval bodkin (AD c.1600-c.1700), missing most of its length, including its sharp point. The surviving piece of the bodkin consists of an engraved florally decorated terminal consisting of a downward pointing flower below a large single flower. These are topped by coiled Greek style column tops surmounted by a small cross. The cross has cross hatching on the transverse bar. The design is replicated on the front and rear face of the bodkin. Below the surviving terminal the bodkin divides into two parallel rods, which originally joined at the far end to form a long rectangular loop, but they are both broken and slightly bent so that the loop is incomplete. Each rod is decorated on the front and back with engraved diagonal lines. The item is more than 300 years old and is composed of more than 10% precious metal. Therefore, it should be considered Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996. Measurements :- Length 41.78mm , Width 6.51mm , Thickness 2.56mm , Weight 3.8g Date: 17th century Discussion: This type of pin is commonly recorded through the Treasure Act, particularly from East Anglia. A small group of similar pins were excavated in Norwich (Margeson 1993, 8-9, no.21-23). They were used during the first half of the seventeenth century in the Low Countries as head-dress ornaments and as such British finds tend to be associated with Dutch immigration and trade (ibid.). For many years, bodkins found in English contexts were thought to have been imports serving a Dutch expatriate market (see Margeson 1993, 8-9). Recently, Beaudry (2009, 98, see also Beaudry 2006, 66-68) has suggested the re-evaluation of this evidence, highlighting the contextualisation of bodkins in Margeson (1993) as problematic. The large number of bodkin finds reported since the establishment of the PAS in 1997 clearly suggests that bodkins were not only widely worn in England, but also made here. In this context, the term bodkin refers to a needle-like implement/accessory with a flattened in profile. Opposite its pointed end is a terminal, beneath which there is an eye, and sometimes a further perforation (Beaudry 2011, 6). The small perforation above the eye may have been used to suspend a jewel or pearl, or may have been used to thread a 'keeping ribbon' (Beaudry 2009, 96). Lacing or cord was probably threaded through the elongated eye. These are characteristically oblong, oval or shaped like tear-drops (Beaudry 2009, citing Sullivan 2004, 7475: the tear-drop form is thought to be diagnostic of Dutch manufacture). The terminus of bodkins is typically variously shaped. Examples have been found with earscoops (also called ear-spoons), hooks, and decorative finials. Beaudry (2009, 96) also mentions hands, pineapples and knobs. The surviving piece of the bodkin is unusually elaborate. The vertically arranged combination of trailing flowers and scrolling fronds naively recalls fashionable interior carvings of the 1670s and 1680s. The arrangement seen on this bodkin may represent a popular echo of elite style, possibly permitting a provisional dating of circa 1700. Bodkins are understood to have been used by men and women for 'dunning in drawstrings and threading and rethreading ribbons, cords, and laces' primarily through corsets and bodices (Beaudry 2009, 95). In the seventeenth century, when bodices laced at the front, a bodkin would have been in daily use, perhaps highly frequently if a woman was nursing (Beaudry 2011, 7). Particularly those in silver with ornamental terminals are likely to have been conspicuously worn, perhaps being used to fasten and adorn headdresses, veils, bodices, and to style the hair. This practice is amply illustrated in Dutch paintings, particularly of the seventeenth century, where bodkins can be seen worn skewered through garments or peeking out from beneath caps. In the Netherlands, the position of a bodkin indicated the marital status of the female wearer (Beaudry 2009, 98, citing Sullivan 2004, 74). References: Beaudry, M.C., 2009.

The flint is made from a mottled light brown to grey coloured tertiary flake with a matt patina. It is sub-triangular in shape. There is flaking and retouch present along two edges of the dorsal side and a clear flake scar ridge. The ventral side is flat apart from a clear bulb of percussion and faint ripples from hard striking. Measurements : Length 36.04mm, Width 20.13mm, Thickness 5.95mm and Weight 3.5g

PUBLIC-147FF3: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date. It has a dome-shaped plate with concave back face in the form of a scallop shell. At the top of the plate is an integrally cast suspension loop that is set at an angle of ninety degrees to the plane of the plate. The suspension loop is oval in form and has a single central circular aperture. Between the suspension loop and the main body of the pendant is a small collar protruding from both sides. The original incised lines which were designed to represent the features of the scallop shell from the base of the loop to the edges of the pendant have almost completely worn away, but are still noticable at the edges of the pendant. There is no remaining trace of any gilding which may have been present. Its delicate construction and non-armorial design suggests a 12th or early 13th century date (Ashley 2002, 7, fig.7, nos.17 and 18). There are many similar examples on the PAS database, e.g. SF8880 and SF-1DF773. Measurements :- Length 32.91mm , Width 22mm, Weight 3.6g

PUBLIC-0802FD: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast copper alloy zoomorphic object, possibly either a lion or dog. The animal has lugs extending downwards from the feet, the end of which have holes drilled through them, one being now blocked through corrosion. Due to the rather square shape of the animals head a Medieval date is suggested. No parallels or similar objects found on PAS, but Suffolk FLO Anna Booth has found a similar object in the Meols report of 2007 by Griffiths et al. on Page 70. That object was identified as a balance scale attachment of Viking origin as it had parallels to a more complete object found on Gigha and now in the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow and a complete set found in Jåtten, Rogaland, Norway. Although this object may not be of a similar date it may originally have had a similar function. Measurements : Length 33.15mm , Height 23.71mm , Thickness 7.11mm , Weight 8.7g

A complete lead or lead alloy mount of probable Medieval date. It is flat, zoomorphic in form and with moulded incised decoration. It takes the form of a bird, probably a dove, in flight, with the head facing to the left. There is a hole through the mount where the eye of the bird is, either for a rivet to fix it to whatever it was mounted on or possibly to allow a loop to pass through and be used as a pendant. The wings are symetrically placed and have been incised with three grooves on each wing to represent feathers. There are also five incised grooves on the tail to represent tail feathers. The back face of the mount is undecorated. This is probably a Medieval mount, perhaps for a book, box or other similar object or potemtially a decorative pendant. It is likely to date to the Medieval period of the 14th or 15th centuries AD. A similar example on the PAS database is found at SF-B0C905 Measurements :- Height 23.33mm , Width 22.06mm, Thickness 1.44mm, Weight 3.7g

The outer edges are straight. The pin is missing. The upper side is bevelled and the underside is flat. The strap bar is cast at an angle within the frame, and this along with the straight outer edges of the frame indicate that this example is made to a poor quality standard. The buckle has an olive green patina with some brown patches. A simila example can be seen on page 55 of Whitehead (2003) number 317. Measurments :- Width 27.13mm, Height 22.91mm, Thickness 2.96mm, Weight 3.6g

PUBLIC-A62C1A: STRAP FITTING
A cast silvered copper-alloy strap fitting, possibly a harness hook due to the outward angled hook, of post-medieval to modern date. The object consists of a decorated and hollow backed and decorated front plate with integrally cast hook positioned at 90degrees to the front plate. The reverse has a semi-circular plain plate soldered to the edges of the front plate allowing a space between the two plates perhaps for a strap to be passed between them. The front plate decoration is floral, made up of a central leaf design surrounded by seven separated floral segments. The integrally cast hook is positioned to the left of the object at 90 degrees to the front plate and is domed on the outer edge and flat on the rear. There is a thin collar just before a knopped terminal. There is evidence of silvering to all parts of the object but the core object appears to be copper alloy. No direct parallels were found on the PAS database within my search parameters. Measurements :- Length 39.92mm, Width 19.95mm, Thickness 4.52mm, Weight 6.9g

PUBLIC-1BCA53: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A lead disc measuring 40.61mm in diameter and approx 3.3mm in thickness. The edge has suffered post-depositional damage in one small area and has the remains of a small projection, otherwise the item is a neat circular shape. There is a central hole of 5.16mm diameter. Both faces of the disc are decorated with incised lines. One face has an incised circle approximately half way between the central hole and the outer edge plus a number of incised lines radiating at roughly equal distance from each other from the central hole to the edge. The other side is decorated in a similar fashion with radiating lines from the central hole to the edge but the incised design halfway between the central hole and the edge is more elliptical than circular in shape. The slight difference between the design of the two sides may be due to the crude nature of the manufacture of the object rather than any scientific difference in the original use of the object. It is not clear what this object was used for, or how old it is. It is not a type of sundial as the object has been examinied by the British Sundial Society. It bears some resemblance to the compass identified in LON-90EB7A, although the markings are not as neatly made, and also to DUR-33C61A and HAMP-A9E6F1. Beside the possibility of the object having been a compass it could also have been part of an astrolabe or even part of an astrological quadrant. Measurements :- Diameter 40.61mm , Thickness 3.3mm , Weight 33.1g

The item takes the form of an eagle's head and neck, with shaped and coloured glass embedded in the cast piece as decoration. The decoratons in glass consist of a circular raised piece coloured amber, a triangular piece of plain colour and a semi circular piece coloured yellow. There are three small rivet heads, one near the beak and two at the base, that would have joined to the other half of the end cap. The rear of this half of the end cap has approx one quarter of the surface covered with iron corrosion from the original iron tang of the knife. At the base of the cap there were two integrally cast copper alloy rods that would have joined with the knife handle, one is broken near the base of the cap, the other protrudes by 6mm. Length: 31.05mm; Width : 17.62mm ( at widest point); Thickness: 4.03mm. Weight: 6.1g. Thought to have been produced between 15th and 17th century, knife end-caps take a wide variety of forms, with several typical examples illustrated by Brian Read (2001: Figs. 56 and 57). A similar artefact is PAS record SUSS-343CE7.

PUBLIC-5A2388: ASSEMBLAGE
A collection of worked and burnt flint (plus two pottery body sherds and a piece of metalworking residue) found during a geophysics survey with the SIAH on Suffolk Heritage Explorer record TAT 003. The 5 pieces of worked flint at the top of the photo are all debitage. Each are of the local mid-brown to light grey flint, with cortex remaining and a clear striking platform and bulb of percussion on each. Middle row: A near complete leaf shaped, D-sectioned blade made from a tertiary flake, no cortex remaining, but with a clear striking platform and bulb of percussion and removal scars visible. There is no retouch. The flint is the local mid grey, with paler grey inclusions on the reverse. Plough damage has removed much of the eastern side of the flake. The blade is of probable Neolithic or possible Bronze Age date, being slightly crude for the earlier date. It measures 4.9x3.2x0.9cm, and weighs 14.23g. An incomplete tertiary flake, of pale grey flint, damaged on both edges. The bulb of percussion remains, with removal scars on the other side. The damage makes dating difficult, but it is fine enough to be Neolithic work. It measures 3.1x1.2x0.2cm and weighs 2.28g. Another incomplete tertiary flake, of pale grey flint, with complete edges but truncated. The bulb of percussion remains, with removal scars on the other side. Again probably Neolithic. It measures 2.1x1.4x0.3cm and weighs 1.37g. A body sherd of "grey ware" pottery, mediaeval or post mediaeval in date. There is a single smooth stony inclusion visible. The outer surface is blackened, the inner shows no hint of contents. The piece measures 4.8cm at its highest and 5cm at its widest, and is between 0.6 and 0.8cm in depth. It weighs 24.58g. Bottom row A crude sub-circular scraper formed from a secondary flake of good quality dark grey flint, with cortex remaining on the top. The bulb of percussion has been worked out, with the opposite end of the flake terminating in a hinge fracture. There is crude and invasive retouch visible at the bottom edge of the photograph running for approximately 3cm. The tool fits comfortably into the hand. The crudeness lends itself to a probable Bronze Age date. The piece measures approximately 4.6x4.7cm and from 1.8 to 0.9cm in depth. It weighs 39.18g. A similarly crude end scraper of pale grey flint with several inclusions and moderately abrupt retouch all across one end. Some cortex remains at the striking platform, with a large bulb of percussion. Again probably of Bronze Age date, it measures 4.7x4.5cm and from 1.6cm to a fine edge. The retouch runs from this fine edge, where it may be truncated by damage, for a further 6.2 cm around the end of the tool. It weighs 33.84g. A highly crude edge scraper formed from a wedge-shaped lump of flint, with cortex covering the non-working edge. Neigher striking platform nor bulb of percussion is visible. Crude and moderately abrupt retouch runs for 3.5cm along the fine edge. The piece measures 5.6x3.7cm in height and width, and from approximately 2.7cm in depth to a fine point. It weighs 36.75g. Not photographed: 5 pieces of burnt flint, totalling 158.97g 1 piece of undateable metal working residue, weighing 11.21g and being 41x13x7mm 1 piece of daub weighing 84.43g, 75mm long by 40mm at its widest, and 24mm deep. This has an approximately 4mm deep impression at one side of a smooth and regular rectangular object; the smooth nature suggesting that the daub is later than prehistoric in nature. The matrix is sandy and friable with small stone inclusions. 1 piece of worn and degraded wheel-thrown pot from a large or flat vessel, roughly triangular, measuring 51x42x7mm at its widest points. Both surfaces are of a pinkish-red fired clay, with a pale beige interior showing at the breaks. A few small stone or flint inclusions are visible. The inside has an encrusted residue of a darker brownish-red colour, with further finer inclusions visble within it.

PUBLIC-DFC267: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap end dating to the Medieval period, c. AD 1350 -1500. The strap end consists of two rectangular plates, though is missing the internal forked spacer which originally would have been situated in between the plates. The plates terminate with a squared off end with shoulders and has a pointed knop-like protrusion. At the other end the sheets are rounded and have the remains of a rivet which would originally have held the strap end onto the leather strap. There is no decoration on the strap end, which is an uneven olive green colour with patches of corrosion on both plates. The strap end measures 36.64mm in length, 6.68mm in width, and is 2.27mm thick. It weighs 2.8g. The strap end is similar to one in Egan and Pritchard (1991, p.142, no.659), which is dated to c.1350-1400. Also noted was a very similar strap end on the PAS database ref- HAMP-3C8DFD and PUBLIC-5D9CCC.

PUBLIC-D97DED: PIN
An incomplete and worn Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy pin. Only the head and a short fragment of the shaft survive, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks. The head is conical in form with a small collar at its base. The shaft is cylindrical in form before terminating in old breaks. This pin measures 7.43mm in diameter at the head, 1.72mm in diameter at the shaft, 14.55mm in length, 1.9g in weight. Although sharing some similarities with Roman pins, the presence of a collar at junction between head and shaft suggests a middle Anglo-Saxon date for this example. Similar parallels are recorded on the PAS database: SF-ADF757, SF-99C036.

PUBLIC-D82FD0: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy middle to late Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Ansate brooch, of Weetch's type X.Aii. The body of the brooch is an elongated sub-rectangular shape, D-shaped in cross-section and humped in the centre in profile. Its outer face decorated with irregularly spaced transverse grooves. To the reverse of the head the axis bar is evident on the outside of the pin lug, between the pin lugs there is a solid mass of corroded material, with some evidence of iron. The pin is missing, as is the terminal and catch-plate at the foot end. The brooch is 26.08mm long, 6.21mm wide, and weighs 4g. Ansate brooches are Frankish in origin and are found on the Continent from the 7th century onwards, but they are not used in England until the 8th century. They were probably in use until the 10th century. A very similar example can be seen in Hattatt (2000) p.380, ref.1686.

PUBLIC-D6E40A: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy strap mount of post medieval date (1550-1700 AD ). The mount appears to be in the form of a bag or sack, with a drawn in top with two carying handles.

The mount has a light brown patina.

PUBLIC-A9CFD6: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete cast copper-alloy bridle fitting or harness link of Early-Medieval date. One terminal, the shaft and central boss survive intact, the opposite terminal is now missing due to old breaks. It has a rectangular shaft which is D-shaped in cross section and flat on the reverse. The terminal is roughly circular in shape with a central oval shaped hole, with a small triangular shaped knop at the outer edge of the loop. At the centre of the shaft is a raised boss with flattened front face with projecting triangular knops on each side, similar to the one on the loop terminal. There is a punched dot design in a cross pattern, on the front face of the central boss. This object measures 42.01mm in length, 16.45mm in width at central boss, 18.5mm in width at terminal, 4.79mm in thickness at central boss, and weighs 11.1g. This is an incomplete double-ended bridle fitting of later Early-Medieval date. Similar examples are recorded through the Portable Antiquities Scheme (see for example SF-ADC0F3, SF-DE96A5, SF-457AB1, WMID-6AAED1) and have been studied by Williams (2007) who suggests their possible use as harness links dating to the 11th century AD.

PUBLIC-5BBD54: BRACELET
A complete but worn cast copper-alloy bracelet of Roman date, AD 250 - 410. The bracelet is sub-circular in shape. Both terminals are worn to an extent that there original shape is unclear. The band is rectangular in form, oval shaped in section and tapers at one end while the other terminal is either wider than the other or has an old break at the tip of the terminal. The back face is flat and undecorated while the front face has extensive incised and punched decoration. This comprises incised lines running across the band intersperced with ring and dot motifs. There is wear and corrosion on both faces of the band and it has an olive green patina. It measures 63.82mm in diameter across at the widest part of the circle and is 61.2 at 90 degrees to this measurement making it almost perfect circle. It is 6.2mm in width across the band and 4.1mm in thickness, and weighs 18.1g. This is a complete Roman bracelet or armlet similar to examples with multiple decorative motifs noted from Colchester (Crummy, 1983: nos. 1725). It is of late Roman date, c. late-3rd to 4th centuries AD.

PUBLIC-5AC81A: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER

GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse type depicting the emperor standing right holding labarum and globe. Possibly mint of Heraclea. RIC IX, p. 199, cf. no. 27b. The larger nummi of the Theodosian period are rare as British site finds and this appears to be only the second example on the PAS, the first potentially not a genuine ancient loss (see HAMP-862717). This coin, too, has an unusual patina but was found in association with a small scatter of late Roman coinage that suggests it is plausibly an ancient loss.

PUBLIC-00B9AA: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete and worn medieval heraldic harness pendant dating to c. late 13th - early 14th century) and attributed to the Suffolk De Seymour family. Description: The pendant is in the form of a square topped shield (heater shield) with a suspension loop at 90° to the plane of the pendant at its apex. The obverse shows two inverted chevrons. with traces of red enamel remain in both. There is a blue three point 'file or label' usually indicating a first son, positioned across the upper chevron. The top left corner has an element of red enamel which seems likely to have transfered from another part of the chevrons. In between the two chevrons remains specks of black enamelling in four places and below the bottom cevron are remains of black or Sable enamelling in four places. In heraldic terms this blazon would be described as 'Ermine two chevrons Gules; in chief a label of three points Azure'. Measurements: Length: 43mm, width: 26mm, 4mm thick and 11.6g in weight. Discussion: These arms are shown as those of Sire De Seinmor (Seymour) in the Great, Parliamentary, or Bannerets' Roll of c. 1312 (Wagner, A. 1950). The arms are also found on a number of other rolls and documentation spanning the 13th-15th centuries associated with members of the De Seymours.

PUBLIC-492572: HARNESS MOUNT
A medieval cast copper-alloy harness suspension mount, dating to c.1250-1400. It is decorated with red and blue enamel and gilding. The rest of it has a dull brown patina, with patches of green verdigris, especially on the reverse; there is also extensive gilding on the reverse. It has an integral cast rivet towards the top of the reverse, to fix the mount to leather. It is sexfoil in shape with five curved lobes, and at the base, where the bottom "foil" would be, two pierced loops project with a gap between into which the loop of the pendant would have slotted. The two loops are blocked with the remains of of the iron hinge bar which would have held the pendant in place. The mount is decorated with a peacock in his pride (i.e. facing with tail displayed). The displayed feathers, and spread-out legs and feet, fill virtually all the sexfoil shape, with the feet turned out beneath the fan-like tail. The body, legs, and feet are solid blue. The wings are predominantly red, perhaps outlined in red, with blue highlights. Any other colours are lost. It measures 27.42mm long (including the loops) x 17.35mm wide x 3.61mm thick. The loops measure 11.01mm long x 7.95mm wide including the gap in the middle x 6.12mm deep. The rivet measures 4.01mm long x 5.98mm in diameter. It weighs 5.93g. The peacock is most probably not heraldic, but symbolic of long life and pride (see PUBLIC-7D5B87 for further discussion of this). There is also the religious connotation of resurrection in the image of the peacock (it was believed that the flesh of the peacock did not decay). There several examples of peacocks on pendants, and mounts, on the PAS database. These are usually in profile facing to the left. Only the harness pendant SOM-8A2927 has a peacock in his pride. For another pendant with a peacock in his pride see Ashley2002, 41, fig. 12, no.87, which is thought to be heraldic. Presumably the pendant that hung from this suspension mount was also decorated with a peacock in his pride. But heraldic pendants are known still attached to non-heraldic, symbolic, decorative suspension mounts.

Such rings appear to have had multiple functions; they have been interpreted as finger-rings, ear-rings, or as rings belonging to a chatelaine to hold small personal items such as toilet equipment (Geake 1997, 57, 282, fig 4.18). They may also have been used as rings to secure a veil or cap (Walton Rogers 2007, 159, fig 5.21) as well as part of necklaces (Geake 1997, 49, 274-275, fig 4.10 and 4.11) In this case there appears to be a remarkable similarity to early medieval chatelaines that have been recorded on the PAS with an article still attached. e.g. NMS-0DC396, KENT-998C0D and LIN-B640AA

PUBLIC-613F05: BOOK FITTING
An incomplete, copper alloy book fitting, consisting of the front plate from a two-plate book clasp hook-piece of Howsham type A3, dating from the late Medieval to early post-Medieval periods, circa AD 1400 - 1600, It is flat and sub-rectangular with a flared and scalloped open end and a blunt, backward curved hook extending from the centre of the closed end. The plate was originally attached to the backplate by four circular rivets, two at the flared end, one in the centre of the plate and one near the hooked end, all rivets are now missing. The plate is decorated on the front with a double line circle round the four rivets nearer the flared end, and parallel lines across the third of the plate at the hook end. The plate shows much post depositional wear and is bent inwards approximately three quarters along its length towards the hooked end. The plate has is dark green colour on the face and light green on the reverse. Numerous similar examples are shown on the PAS databsae - e.g. SF-7CC8F6, WILT-A926AC, SWYOR-29FC86 and SWYOR-F875A3

PUBLIC-8D7ABA: KEY (WINDING)
An incomplete copper alloy watch or clock winder. A trefoil plate with one lobe open for suspension, now broken, with a lug at the opposite end which passes through the spherical terminal of a cast round bar. The other end of the bar retains a short hollow arm at right angles to it, serving as a winding key, with a short continuation beyond this, now broken. The plate bears a stamped shell motif on both sides. The item has an even mid brown colour. An identical watch winder is shown in Detector Finds 2, by Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing, Witham, 2001, page 26-7, item 4.

PUBLIC-8DB533: KEY (WINDING)
An incomplete copper alloy watch or clock winder. A circular plate containing four small holes and one larger hole for suspension, now merged with one of the four decorative holes. The base of the plate has a lug which fits through a bar. The opposite end of the bar is broken. Originally the end of the bar would have had arm at right angles to it, serving as a winding key. The item has an even light green colour. Watch winders are discussed by Gordon Bailey, Detector Finds 2, Greenlight Publishing, Witham, 2001, page 26-7. Winders with the right angled plate at one end and a right angled winder at the other end of a bar are usually considered 18th century.

Dimensions : 66.78mm length, 14.49mm max diameter, Weight 29.7g The ribs and overall design are similar to other Roman furniture fittings/mounts on the PAS database - PUBLIC-F15C0C, NMS-999FA6, SF-875A8C, HAMP-7C883B and LIN-2DD113.

PUBLIC-B498C7: SPOON
An incomplete silvered copper-alloy spoon of early Roman date circa 75 - 200AD. Only a small fragment of the bowl and approximately one third of the handle survives. The curved outer rim of the bowl suggest it was circular, making it a Type 1 spoon in Crummy's (1983, p.70, fig.73, no.2008) classification. The junction of handle and bowl consists of the handle thinning and tapering into the rear surface of the bowl, known as a 'rat-tail'. Approximately half to two thirds of the handle is missing and there are traces of silvering on the fragment of the bowl on both the upper and reverse faces. The bowl has a shallow concave form and is undecorated. A similar example is illustrated in Crummy, p.70, fig.73, no.2008, and is classified as Type 1 dating to the late 1st - 2nd century AD. Numerous similar examples have also been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme Database including Unique ID's: SWYOR-5077F7, LIN-026E33, BERK-D60084, LIN-FB2548 and YORYM-02CE65.

PUBLIC-B50FA9: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman continental Kraftig Profilierte brooch dating from the early Roman period ( 43-100 AD ). It is missing the terminal end of the catchplate beyond the return bend, but is otherwise complete and in a well preserved condition. The head of the brooch forms a bulbous semi circle of 11.46mm in diameter, from the back centre of which extend an integral hook that folds forwards towards the external chord under the head of the brooch, covering the centre of the integral spring.The copper alloy spring has eight coils around the axix bar and a spring chord held in place by the original hook and with the addition of a separate iron axis bar running through the spring. The spring extends to a complete pin that tapers to a sharp point and extends to 3.1mm beyond the catchplate. The keel shaped catchplate is integral to the bow and is 20.2mm in length before it begins to bend back. There is an old break at this point. The bow is semi circular in cross section with a flat underside. At the misponint of the bow is a semi circular projecting collar. At the foot of the bow is a teminating circular knop. The brooch has a pale green patina, with the exception of the pin which still shows its copper colour. This is an incomplete brooch of Roman date. It finds its closest parallels in a brooch published by Hattatt (1989: no. 760) and examples from Augst (Riha, 1979: plate 9 (Group 2.9)). These indicate the current example is probably a Kraftig Profilierte type brooch, probably of continental origin, and likely to date to the 1st century AD, c.43-100 AD. Another close parallel for this brooch is one from Colchester which has been dated contextually to the mid-first century AD (Crummy, N. 1983. "Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9". 11, fig. 6, no. 37. Colchester: Colchester Archaeological Trust.

A complete cast lead-alloy personal seal matrix of Medieval date, c. 1280-1350. It is circular in plan with the remains of an integrally cast vertical rib at the centre of the back face, with a squashed suspension lug demonstrating a clogged circular aperture at its midpoint present at the apex of the matrix. The seal die has a central motif which appears as an eight-spoked wheel or eight-spoked floral design within a circular border. This is surrounded by the engraved inscription +S' RIC' LE TORNO' (Seal of Richard/Ricard Le Torno/Tornour) , which clearly refers to the original owner. Preserved in good condition with a creamy white patina, it measures 26.77mm in diameter, 4.27mm in thickness and weighs 19.3g. An individual named 'Ricardo Le Tornour' has been found in the Suffolk subsidy returns for 1327, living in Aldham- which is approximately 6 miles from where the seal was found. The date range suggested has been made based on his presence in this subsidy roll. Personal seal matrices such as this are generally ascribed a 13th to earlier 14th century date, being superceded in the early to mid 14th century by 'stock' chessman or pedestal type matrices with set designs and inscriptions.

PUBLIC-2DB1B7: BUTTON
Two complete copper-alloy openwork buttons of post-medieval date, late 15th - late 16th century, found together. The buttons are identical in design but have minor differences in measurments ( see below ) and comprise of a hollow openwork body which is biconical in profile and decorated with a series of six sub-oval openings which extend through the front and back of the object at equal spacings. Behind this is an integrally cast solid sub-rectangular shank with a rounded end and a small circular perforation for attachment to a garment. The front of the button is domed with a prominant central boss. The buttons have survived in excellent condition, with an olive green patina. The measurements for each button are :- (A) 17.51mm long, 11.42mm in diameter and weighs 2.1g (B) 17.59mm long, 11.75mm in diameter and weighs 2.6g Bailey (2004, 22, fig. 7.1) illustrates a number of similar openwork buttons which he dates from the late 15th-16th centuries; Read (2010, 35; no. 110) gives the same dating.

PUBLIC-1BD460: CHAPE
A complete, copper-alloy, medieval lace chape dating from c. AD 1270-1350. The chape consists of a sheet of copper-alloy wrapped into a conical shape with a vertical join. The wide end is a rounded rectangular shape and open. Half way along the length of the chape are two opposing holes where a thread would have passed through the chape, through the lace, and out through the hole on the opposing side to affix the chape to the lace. Above one of the holes, below the open end, is one circular hole where the final fixing would be made. The narrow end is sub-circular in shape and closed. The chape is a dark green colour.. A similar chape can be seen in Egan and Pritchard 2002, page 284 number 1428 and there are numerous examples on the database e.g. PAS no. BUC-5EF702, SWYOR-90EE04 and LIN-984ECC. Length: 18.91 mm; Width: 6.38 mm; Weight: 0.9g

PUBLIC-1B6739: MOUNT
A cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date, probably dating from circa 1500 to 1800 AD. The mount is symmetrical and has a v shaped indentation in the centre and a symmetrical v shaped protrusion on the opposite side. The form is of a very shallow chevron shape. Both ends are rounded inwards possibly to wrap over the edge of a leather strap. Each end has flower motifs, one above the other. The central design may be a butterfly. The rear of the object is plain and flat without any obvious way for attaching the mount to a leather strap or belt. There are many similar, although not parallel, finds on the PAS database e.g. IOW-911802, SUSS-850592, WMID-C69355 and SUR-B05126. The mount has a dark green patina.

The object is roughly foliate in form, with moulded decoration forming a leaf pattern, with a trefoil shaped terminal. The original hook at the base is missing from an old break. This would have been one of two or three identical fittings that together formed a hanging arrangement for a sword, date 16th-17th century. The width of the body is 17.9mm with the overall width being 33.5mm, which makes this example a larger version of the usual form of this fitting. There are many similar examples on the PAS , for example GLO-0309F5, SUR-3967CF and SUR-4ACFDA. The full form of the sword belt hanger is also illustrated with several examples in the publication The British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds Identified by Kevin Leahy and Michael Lewis. The item measures 31.7mm in length, 33.5mm in width , 2.11mm thick and weighs 6.3g

The object is roughly foliate in form, with moulded decoration forming a leaf pattern, with a trefoil shaped terminal. The original hook at the base is missing from an old break. There is one remaining circular fixing holes, containing the original iron rivet. This would have been one of two or three identical fittings that together formed a hanging arrangement for a sword, date 16th-17th century. There are many similar examples on the PAS , for example GLO-0309F5, SUR-3967CF and SUR-4ACFDA. The full form of the sword belt hanger is also illustrated with several examples in the publication The British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds Identified by Kevin Leahy and Michael Lewis. The item measures 27.95mm in length, 20.2mm in width , 2.03mm thick and weighs 4.7g

PUBLIC-062CFF: SCABBARD
A copper alloy dagger or sword chape of medieval to early post medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1600). The chape is comprised of a piece of sheet metal which has been folded and has been joined with a vertical seam. The upper edge of one side is scalloped, the other straight. Below the scalloped edge, on both sides is a pierced sewing hole. The base is rounded. The object has a mottled light green patina. The scabbard chape measures 33.66mm in length, 18.52mm maximum width, 10.42mm minimum width just above the rounded base end, is 6.44mm in depth and weighs 7.8g.

PUBLIC-C63831: TWEEZERS
A pair of copper alloy tweezers probably dating to the post-medieval period, c. 1500 - 1800. The tweezers are made of a sheet of copper alloy which has been folded over to create a loop which is crimped to obtain a sprung effect to make the tweezers operate. The arms of the tweezers are parallel along their entire length and the tips of the tweezers are rounded inward for optimum operation. There are a series of circular shapes with inner serrations along the length of both arms, seven on one arm and eight on the other. The designs contain a central pellet surrounded by six slightly smaller pellets, and appear to be a simple design of flower petals. The dimensions are : length 58.16mm, width 6.51mm, weight 4.3g

PUBLIC-4CD26E: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete and bent cast lead vesica type seal of Medieval date, dating c. 1250-1400. The seal is pointed-oval in shape and is missing its rounded lug which would have projected from one end. The reverse of the seal is plain and undecorated, while the front consists of an inner decorated sub-oval central panel containing an incuse stylised fleur-de-lys design within an oval linear border, around which the legend of the seal (some of which is illegible) is inscribed. This can be read anticlockwise as possibly; +SIGILLV[M?]...PIO.. , which can be broadly translated as 'The seal of pious (name of individual)', unless the 'P' of 'PIO' stands for 'Pater' (father) in which case the owner of the seal may alternatively have held some ecclesiastical position. Each end of the seal has been slightly bent outwards due to post-depositional damage, giving the piece a crescentic appearance when viewed in section. The seal is 30mm long, 21mm wide, 2mm thick and weighs 8.97 grammes. A broadly similar seal in terms of form and decoration can be seen in the form of PAS record SWYOR-D309A5, although the latter example is complete and in much better condition.

PUBLIC-33CCC7: COIN
A worn copper-alloy Roman sestertius of Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180) or possibly Commodus (AD 175-192), possibly dating to the period c.AD 161-180 (Reece period 8). Reverse type depicting an unclear standing figure left(?). Mint of Rome.

A heavily worn and abraded copper-alloy Roman nummus of the House of Valentinian (AD 364-378), dating to the period c.AD 364-378 (Reece period 19). GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse type depicting Emperor advancing right, holding standard and dragging captive. Unclear mint.

PUBLIC-9D033A: COIN

A copper-alloy Roman nummus of Constantius II (AD 323-361), dating to the period c.AD 326 (Reece period 15). PROVIDEN-TIAE CAESS reverse type, depicting a camp-gate with two turrets and one star above. Mint of Trier. As RIC VII, p. 209, no. 480; LRBC, p. 4, no. 34.

PUBLIC-B4AC7E: SEAL MATRIX
A complete cast copper-alloy seal matrix of 'pedestal' or 'chessman' form dating to the Medieval period, c. 1300-1400. It demonstrates a hexagonally-setioned faceted handle topped with a terminal in the form of a pointed oval- the latter demonstrating a circular aperture at its midpoint that originally would have served to suspend the matrix. The die is circular in plan, depicting the engraved design of two heads (one male, one female) looking inwards at each other, between them a a tree with a pelican (the symbol of piety) sitting on top. The inscription is * LOVE ME ANDE I YE (The N is retrograde and the Y is a thorn, or 'th'). Preserved in good condition with an even green patina, the seal matrix stands 19.79mm high, while the diameter of the seal die is 18.73mm. The thickness of the handle at its midpoint is 4.82mm, and the object weighs 6.9g. Pedestal form matrices with stock designs and impersonal legends such as these are generally assigned a 14th century date, largely replacing the personal matrices that flourished in the previous century.

PUBLIC-343F33: MOUNT
An incomplete gilt copper-alloy and enamel figurative casket or cross mount of Limoges type dating to the medieval period, c.AD 1150 - 1350. The mount has a sub-rectangular body with a large ovate knob to one end fashioned in the shape of a tonsured human head. At this end the sides slope, forming shoulders to a narrow neck on which the head is positioned. The opposite end is straight. The facial features are well executed with ovate eyes, a clear triangular nose and well defined lips. The front of the body of the mount is moulded with a series of raised ridges to create a robed effect. The ridges also appear to form arms, one (the right when viewed from the front) is held diagonally across the stomach and the left is raised toward the heart. The robes also form champleve style cellwork whcih is filled with enamel white and red inlaid enamel. Two circular rivet holes, one at the top of the body and one at the bottom, are present and would have been used to attach the mount to a casket, reliquary or cross. The reverse is concave and undecorated. Most of the enamel has worn away, except round the head and there is no evidence of a halo which is present on some examples such as DOR-5ED306. Measurements: 57.93mm long, 21.80mm wide, 6.48mm thick and 15.58g in weight. Mounts of this type were typically produced in the Limoges area in Central France during the 12th and 13th centuries. Numerous similar examples have been recorded on the database, including: YORYM-9B90C7 (which is a close example in terms of robe definition), WAW-C78427, YORYM-5F58E6, DOR-9AA7AB, YORYM-EB5247 and DOR-5ED306.

PUBLIC-34A108: SEAL MATRIX
An unfinished cast Medieval lead flat pointed-oval seal matrix (AD 1200-1350). This seal matrix has not been engraved and is blank and flat at the front. The reverse has a stylised symbol and raised border. The matrix has slanted sides leaving the front narrower than the back.. The suspension lug is placed at the top of the back and its form suggests it was used as a sprue or in gate, it has no pierciing.The seal has a light grey patination typical of aged lead. Measurements: Length: 22.95mm; width: 13.50mm; thickness: 2.75mm; thickness including lug: 9.04mm. Weight: 5.54g Harvey and McGuinness note that pointed-oval shaped seal matrices were particularly prevalent during the 13th century AD, with smaller examples appearing from the early 13th century onwards (Harvey and McGuinness, 1996: pp. 79-80).

PUBLIC-342490: MOUNT
A complete cast, copper alloy bar mount dating to the Medieval period (AD c.1350 - AD c.1450). Description: The mount has two terminal lobes flanking a convex central boss. It has a semi-circular cross-section with four beaded ridges formed by grooving on the central lobe. It has two rivet holes, each with the remains of copper-alloy rivets. The central boss is decorated with parallel incised lines. Measurements: 23.95mm long, 12.13mm wide, 4.24mm thick and 2.68g in weight. Discussion: Relatively common find on the PAS database and similar in design to those illustrated by Brian Read (2001, 23, nos.151) and Egan & Pritchard (1991, 214, fig.134, nos. 1160 ,1161).

PUBLIC-27D47B: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy early Saxon D shaped / oval buckle frame with pin, of Marzinzik's (2003) Type 1.4. The hoop is D-shaped with a narrowed and recessed strap bar. The tongue/pin is 'club-shaped' - wider at its inner end and becoming narrower at its outer end where it curves beyond and round the pin rest, terminating in a blunt point, which is possibly missing an original tip through wear. The pin is held in position around the hoop by a loop. There is considerable discolouration caused by corrosion but remains in good condition. The colour is predominately green but with light brown and blue corrosion markings. According to Marzinzik (2003, 22) buckles with 'club-shaped' pins - the so-called Kolben- or Keulendornschnallen - are of eastern continental origins and are known from the middle of the 5th century onwards. Their distribution is restricted almost entirely to south-east England (ibid., 277, map.3) and so this new finds is somewhat of an outlier. Measurements :- Frame length 22.87mm , Frame width 25.12mm , Loop width at widest 5.22mm. Pin length 32.27mm. Pin at widest part 7.03mm

PUBLIC-F60DE1: STEELYARD WEIGHT

PUBLIC-C96CA7: KEY (LOCKING)
Copper-alloy key, 42mm long. The bow is formed from a C-scroll, and is mushroom-shaped internally. The junction between bow and stem is marked by a solid rectangular area, slightly tapering and with a ridge across either end. The stem looks (from the photo) to be faceted, and the relatively large bit is set at 90 degrees to the plane of the bow. The bit is in line with the end of the stem, but it is not possible to tell from the photo whether the end of the stem is hollow or not. The bit has a rectangular notch cut out of its forward edge at its junction with the stem, and two triangular notches cut out of its lower edge. Compare the very similar SF-84D6CD, which does have a hollow stem.

PUBLIC-4924C3: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
A cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It has a rectangular plate with integral rectangular sewing lug at the upper edge, and integral hook at the base. The plate has four notches along each edge and a large central rectangular boss. This has a central rectangular projection decorated with a single vertical groove with multiple diagonal grooves to each side, almost resembling a foliate motif. At the base of the plate the integral hook has a semi-circular collar with dome-shaped boss on the front face. The hook itself is D-shaped in section and curves backwards to a pointed tip. The entire object measures 28.16mm in length, 12.84mm in width, 4.42mm in thickness, and 2.98g in weight. This is a hooked tag of Post-Medieval date that finds close parallels in a number of examples published by Read (2008: nos. 294-297). These are placed by him in his Early Post-Medieval Class E Type 1 hooked tag group and dated to the Post-Medieval period, c.16th-17th centuries AD. Class: Read Class E Type 1

PUBLIC-48250C: THIMBLE
A complete copper-alloy Thimble of Medieval date (AD 1350-1500). The object has a circular base with fairly parallel sides which curve towards the top where they form the crown, creating a dome. A series of irregular spiralling pits extend from the crown towards the base where they terminate at a border. The metal has a light green slightly pitted patina. Height: 21.69mm, Diameter: 19.76mm, Thickness: 1.43mm, Weight: 7.31g Thimbles have been in common use in England from the 14th century onwards and Geoff Egan (2010, p.265) states that no Medieval thimble indisputably dating from before the 14th century has been found in England. They were originally used to protect the finger used to push a needle through sewing material and were commonly used by dressmakers and tailors. From the circa 16th century onwards silver thimbles were regarded as an ideal gift for ladies and have become gifts and collector's items made of a variety of materials including base and precious metals, and china. The pits on the surface of thimbles were originally created by the technique of hand punching, though in the mid-18th century they were machine-made.

PUBLIC-806537: MOUNT
Medieval (c. AD 1150- c.1450) copper alloy trilobate bar mount with two rivets soldered into hollows on back rather than driven through from the front. The mount consists of three lobes the central one being much larger than the two either side of it. Central lobe is also decorated with cross hatched lines. Unlike the other examples on the database the rivets have not been driven through the mount from the front, instead the lobes have been cast hollow and it would seem the rivets have been soldered into the hollows. The ends of the rivets have been peened over indicating that they have been used and remain complete. There are a number of similar mounts recorded on the database see, IOW-C200F9, and PUBLIC-4E33E9

PUBLIC-FB3AB3: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy single oval looped buckle Marshall Type 1B (11) . The frame is oval with a narrower offset strap bar expanded at each end with two small knops and has a slight recess at the centre for the pin to rest. The top frame of the buckle is expanded and decorated with two knops which flank a plate divided into 4 sections (two large,two small) by 3 incised grooves. The pin is a cast round pointed strip of copper alloy, folded over the bar.The buckle can be broadly dated between 1250 -1350AD. The loop side thickness is 4.71. The buckle is in good condition

PUBLIC-C9C021: PLATE BROOCH
A complete cast copper-alloy plate brooch of first to second century AD date. The plate is lozenge shaped in form with a complete zoomorphic head of a snake, turtle or bird projecting from its front upper edge. The front face of the plate is raised and has enamelled decoration comprising a central field containing orange enamel. This is surrounded by four fields that extend from each side of the central field to each of the corners of the plate,one field containing green coloured enamel , the other three having lost all traces of the original enamel. The concave shape of the two sides of the central field could be interpreted as crescents. If looked at as a single shape the internal divisions of the plate are hour glass shaped. The upper surface of the plate has a border. Along the centre of this border is a straight thin grooved line. The surface of the outer half of the border is decorated with tiny closely set transverse grooves that give the appearance of beading. The zoomorphic head consists of a neck with scales or feathers widening to where the large eyes are placed, then narrowing to a nose. The area between nose and eyes is also marked with scales or feathers. The lozenge plate is raised above the head and hinge assembly. The catchplate is sub-triangular in profile. The pin is complete, although bent in antiquity. The pin moves freely and is operated on a hinge with a protruding lug creating tension for the pin rather than spring mechanism. This is a complete Roman plate brooch. It finds parallels in an example published by Mackreth, 2011: p. 168, Plate and related continental type (PL CONT) no. 11653). and a similar example in Hattatt, placed by him in his group of plate brooches of Equal-ended type (Hattatt, 1989: no. 1115 ) . This suggests a probable 1st or 2nd century AD date for the current example. An exact parallel record exists at CAM-1A116A , with another similar at SF-49E1DF

PUBLIC-9E43A7: BELL
A complete late post-medieval copper-alloy rumbler, animal or 'crotal' bell, probably dating between AD c.1770 and c.1813. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential joining rib. About half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, at either side and opposite each other, there is a circular sounding hole. Two sound holes in the lower hemisphere are integral with a sound "slit". The upper hemisphere is plain and the lower hemisphere has a worn 'sunburst' design. The iron pea is retained within the bell and moves freely. On one side of the sounding slit in the centre is the founder's hammer mark, and opposite is the marker's mark, inscribed 'W G'. W G probably indicates that it was made by William Gwynn of Aldbourne, who was active 1770-1813.

PUBLIC-B1A151: STRAP FITTING
A complete copper alloy swivel, probably from a harness dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1300). The object consists of two loops (one trapezoidal, one oval) which are attached together by a central lug. The lug is integral to one of the halves and passes through a hole on the opposite half. One loop is semi rectangular in shape and the smaller loop is oval shaped. It has a dark green patina and is in good condition, with a full swivel movement. The size of this swivel probably means that it was too large for hawking purposes, so is much more likely to have formed part of a leash for a hound. The fitting is 41.75mm long, 22.64mm wide, 9.45mm thick and weighs 13.3 grams.

PUBLIC-44C6BC: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Aesica brooch dating to the later part of the 1st century. The brooch has wings within which is the spring was housed, now corroded and not visible. The upper bow is broadly diamond shaped in plan with epanded knopped terminals on the outer corners. Within the centre of the upper bow is a circular depression that probably once contained enamel. There is a linear median ridge joining the upper bow to the spring bar assembly. The lower part of the upper bow expands into the fantail foot.

PUBLIC-089A92: PLATE BROOCH
A complete copper alloy, enamelled and silvered cast Roman continental bow brooch, 2nd - early 3rd Century AD. The upper bow of the brooch is expanded to form a large, triangle shaped field for decoration. This upper plate is divided into two areas, a raised triangle within a larger triangle. The outer ( lower ) triangular field is silvered . The inner triangular field contains remnants of green enamel. The borders of both triangular fields are incised with cuts giving the impression of a beaded border. Below the decorative field, the lower bow is silvered and its foot is zoomorphic, in the form of a stylised animal head. The face has ring and dot eyesand incised decoration on the neck resembling scales. The brooch has an even green patina on the underside, and is in good condition. Its hinged pin, though bent, remains intact. The catchplate is also intact. Brooches of this type are of Continental origin and are found in all the North-West provinces and Pannonia, being particularly frequent finds from the excavation at Augst. They are sparsely distributed in the British Isles, with a possible focus in East Anglia. Hull /Crummy type 182. The brooch measures 46.93mm in total length, 21.53mm at the widest part of the plate, 2.31mm thick (plate) , the plate is 21.5mm long, the zoomorphic neck and head is 19.67mm long and the hinge bar is 20.72mm wide. The brooch weighs 8.4g. This is a complete Roman plate brooch. It finds parallels in an example published by Mackreth, 2011: p. 168, Plate and related continental type (PL CONT) no. 8453). This suggests a probable 2nd or early 3rd century AD date for the current example.

PUBLIC-68F30D: PLATE BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman zoomorphic plate brooch in the form of a seated hen or cockerel. Only the neck and head of the bird survive, the remainder now missing due to old breaks.

PUBLIC-C59823: QUERN
A fragment of a rotary quern of probable Roman date. Made from medium to fine grain sandstone with evidence of fine inclusions. The fragment is part of the lower half of the quern and does not extend to the middle hole, so the dimensions of the entire stone are uncertain. The quern stone is flat on the lower side with a convex rounded edge with the lower facebeing wider than the inner side. The upper surface has a groove of approximately 40mm wide extending to the outer edge, presumably to allow the flow of ground flour. The surviving edge is dressed. It is 150mm long, and a maximum of 72mm wide and 30mm thick; it weighs 510 grams. Unmalted grain would have been poured into the vertical perforation. The rotary quern used circular motions to grind the material, meaning both the quern and the handstone were generally circular. The handstone of a rotary quern is much heavier than that of saddle quern and provides the necessary weight for the grinding of unmalted grain into flour.

PUBLIC-27B3A9: BROOCH
A complete copper alloy medieval brooch, manufactured from a jetton, dating to the period c.AD 1280-1340. It is an English jetton, with shield of England bearing three lions passant accosted by lis with crown above obverse, and triple standard cross fleury with alternating star and crescent in each angle reverse. The reverse has an attachment fastening comprised of a length of copper alloy with each terminal bent into a hook, one bent forwards and the other backwards. It is fastened to the jetton with a coppor alloy rivet through the centre, a feature found on many English jettons. Cf. Mitchiner p.107, no. 168, 171 and 172, although these are variationaperture, a feature found on many English jettons.s of this jetton. For examples made into brooches see Marsden (2014) p.91, plate 1, nos. 12 and 14. Marsden (2014, p.92) states that all known examples date from the late 13th to mid 14th century, and no brooches manufactured from French jettons dating to the later 14th century are known. He notes that it is significant that many examples are made from jettons of this stars and crescents type, even though it is not a common type of jetton. Therefore perhaps they were made by one workshop. Alternatively, they were an appealing choice due to the fact that the star and crescent was a symbol of the plantagenets and through wearing this type of brooch one could convey their loyalty to the king, while the cross may also have symbolised loyalty to the church. Brooches or clasps such as these manufactured from converted English jettons are most common in East Anglia, especially Norfolk, where they may have been manufactured as pilgrim souvenirs or possibly represent a highly localised fashion somewhat tied in with the earlier phenomenon of converting silver coinage for use as disc brooches (Bliss 2017, forthcoming, Marsden 2014). The brooch measures 26mm in diameter, 3.62mm in thickness including the reverse attachment fastening, and weighs 2.4g.

The fragment is roughly rectangular, 36.07mm long, 26.42mm wide, 4.83mm in thickness and weighs 17.2g. The fragment shows a curvature that indicates that the original diameter of the vessel would have been approx 34cms. The exterior surface is slightly pitted, but almost entirely coated in burnt black organic matter from when the vessel was near the fire. The interior surface has a smooth coating with some light green copper corrosion colouration. The rim is flush with the exterior of the vessel but ovate in section as it projects from the interior surface. Egan (2005) illustrates a similar example of bowl fragment with a flared beaded rim and straight-sided body on page 99, fig.85, no.444, which is dated from c.1550-1600. Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate a similarly sized bowl with a wide internally bevelled rim and a straight-sided body on page 2810, fig.1394, no.14197, which is dated from the mid 15th century to the early 17th century.

PUBLIC-6D577B: MORTARIUM
A fragment of a Roman Mortaria made from Oxford colour coated ware , dating to the period AD 50- 410. The fragment is broadly triangular in shape and includes part of the foot ring, a low pedestal-like ring formed on the base of a vessel to enable it to stand more securely. The fabric is a sandy orange colour on either side with the original grey colour still clearly visible in the centre of the cross-section. The fragment has small to medium inclusions of quartzite, on what would have been the interior of the mortaria only. The fragment measures 73.45mm in width, 42.64 high, and is 6.39mm thick. The fragment weighs 34.7g. The original vessel would have been a bowl-shaped vessel for grinding. They are diagnostic of the Roman period in Britain, since they were only used in Roman times, and more have been found in Britain than in the rest of the empire. The first mortaria were made in Italy from the 3rd century BC. Developed in industries in Gaul and along the Rhine in the 1st century BC, with occasional imports into Britain. Imported in larger numbers post-Conquest. Within 15 years of the Conquest, mortaria factories were established in eastern Britain. Mortaria were used for grinding spices and sauces. The popularity of mortaria shows a diet change, signalled by a desire to grind foodstuffs smaller.

PUBLIC-74A254: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper alloy button and loop fastener of Wild (1970) Class III dating to the Roman period (AD 50 - AD 200). The head of the fastener is teardrop shaped, with a central circular boss within a circumferential recess. The surrounding moulding is raised and drawn out into a point. The shank extends straight down from the reverse of the head, and bends at 90 degrees before forming a triangular attachment loop. The orientation of the shank results in the head and loop being on different planes. The reverse is flat and undecorated, except behind the head which is recessed under the central boss. The object has an even dark green patina. The fastener is 30.5 mm long, 16.54 mm wide, and 5.3 mm thick at the central boss. It weighs 7.9g. Roman button and loop fasteners have been classified by Wild (1970) and this example falls under Class III: teardrop or petal-headed fasteners. Numerous other examples have been recorded on the PAS database.

PUBLIC-75B36B: SLEEVE CLASP
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon wrist clasp, probably of Hines form B11. The clasp is probably the hook plate of a paired hook and eye arrangment. The clasp survives as the central bar the begining of the hook and a . The central integral catch element projects from the centre of the outer edge of the bar although it only survives as the projecting tab and the catch itself is missing. Set at the centre of the bar is a projecting arm possibly with third attachment loop or decorative element. All the remaining arms have raised decoration consiting of raised bars, the long central arm has a collar before the terminal. Incised vertical decorative lines are present on the added on the remaining atthachment loop knop. This sleeve claps measures 24.98mm in length, 21.96mm wide, 3.27mm thick and 3.81g in weight. This is the catch-piece from an Anglo-Saxon wrist clasp. The use of a straight bar with now missing integrally cast sewing lugs indicates that it belongs to Hines' Form B11, which is datable to the late-5th to 6th centuries AD (Hines, 1993: 46-49). This class is not well represented on the database although a number of the related class B12 are on the PAS database, with an example with a central arm listed at SF-2D49F0.

The reverse has the Alphabet in five lines within a square lined border. arranged as ABCDE/FGHIK/LMNOP/QRSTV/WXYZ Letters J and U are not included. Diameter 27.5mm, thickness 1.06mm, weight 4g. There is no exact match in Mitchiner for this jetton, but c.f nos. 1426-1428, the alphabet similarly occuring inside a square frame. Jetons such as this were used in financial calculations as is shown on this example, where the rechenmeister (accountant) is using the jetons in his calculations and entering the results in the accounts book. The fairly broad range of variation in these type of jetton suggest that the design was used over several issues and the by different masters (Mitchiner 1988, 415)

PUBLIC-B2BAF1: FOLDING KNIFE
A virtually complete copper-alloy Roman zoomorphic folding knife handle; the blade itself is missing. It is broadly rectangular in plan and cross section depicting a stylised hound chasing a hare. Extending from the panel is the openwork scene, both animals running towards the hilt end of the handle. They are depicted in mid stride with the hound just grasping the tail of the hare. The hound has the beginings of a tail which may have extended a little further but has an old break. It is sub-oval shaped body with arched back and extended legs, details of the head, eyes and ears are vague due to wear. The hare is smaller, with an oval shaped body. Preserved in fairly good condition with an even green patina, it survives to a length of 50.41mm, 15.33mm wide, 5.36mm thick and weighs 11.9grams. This is an incomplete Roman folding knife of hound and hare type. Other examples, both complete and fragmentary, are recorded on the PAS database (e.g. SF-32AEB7, SF-9D6625, SF4895, SF-EE0A0, SF3021, NMS-606F33, LEIC-40C8C8, WILT-CB5384 or WILT-5B1783).

PUBLIC-574DEB: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date. It is complete with the exception of a break in the suspension loop. The pendant comprises an openwork frame that is quatrefoil in shape and D-shaped in section with triangular projections at each external angle of the foil. At the top the frame has an elongated rectangular neck from which extends an integrally cast, flattened, oval shaped suspension loop set at right angles to the plane of the frame and with a central circular aperture. Beneath the suspension loop, and within the neck, is a separately cast cylindrical copper-alloy bar that holds in place a secondary pendant enabling it to hinge/swing freely within the interior of the openwork frame. This internal pendant is cross-shaped in form with a slight raised collar at the top, flaring ends to each arm and a separately cast central circular rivet with large and projecting dome-shaped head on the front face. The entire object is worn and retains no trace of decorative elements or the original surfaces of the metal. It measures 33.78mm in length, 14.93mm in width, 7.31mm in thickness and 4.7g in weight. This is a decorative harness pendant of Medieval date with similar parallels noted on the PAS database and in published sources (e.g. SF-18FB75, DUR-592890, WMID-4BCBE6, SUSS-908050, LIN-491E57, SUSS-908050, ESS-371931 or GLO-7605D8; Griffiths, 1986: no. 18). These indicate a probable 13th-14th century AD date for the current example.

PUBLIC-D95806: LOCKET
The backplate of a late post medieval gold locket. The remaining part of the locket is made from thin gold sheet. The outer face of the backplate has a stamped floral design with continuous leaf pattern around the edge which develop in five places as defined leaves towards the centre around an open lily type flower. There is a very small amount of copper alloy wire protruding from the rim which may have originally been part of the inside of a loop for hanging the locket or may just have provided a rigid inner framework for the edge of the backplate. On the inside the thin gold sheet is folded over and pressed down to form a complete seal. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1775-1900

PUBLIC-C8E432: TOKEN
A complete uniface Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token, dating from c. AD 1250-1800. This is a Powell Type 14 token.

PUBLIC-438E85: SCABBARD
A medieval tinned copper-alloy sword or dagger chape (most likely dagger). The item is formed from a single piece of metal with no obvious seam. From the front it is sub-triangular, with the wider end open and the chape gently tapering to a closed pointed end. The open end is decorated with a border of a sunken band containing a line of flat-topped raised circular pellets, which runs around the entire circumference. In the centre towards the open end, both front and rear, is a quatrefoil aperture; both quatrefoils are split open where they meet the dotted border. A slight rib runs down from each quatrefoil to the pointed end. The chape is slightly squashed flat at the open end, so it is difficult to tell what shape the original cross-section was; there is a ragged hole to either side. Length 38mm, width at open end 18mm tapering to 3mm, diameter 17mm weight 5.22g A pewter chape of similar form and size is illustrated in 'Dating Sword Chapes' by Anthony de Reuck, in the 1350-1450 section, but with a trefoil in place of one of the quatrefoil perforations.

PUBLIC-4C52DD: VESSEL
A sherd from a German Bartmann or Bellarmine stoneware jar dating c. 16th-17th century. The sherd is broadly sub-rectangular in plan view and comprises most of the moulded bearded face which adorned the neck of these ceramic vessels. The vessel has been manufactured on a wheel, evinced by the presence of prominent rilling marks on the inside surface, while the outer surface has been decorated with a speckled salt glaze which gives the sherd a mottled whitish brown appearance.

PUBLIC-4F00A4: STRAP END
A Medieval composite copper-alloy strap-end of 14th-century date. It is made up of two long, slightly tapering plates which are separated with a forked spacer. There is a circular copper-alloy rivet in the centre of the rectilinear attachment end. The strap-end tapers gently to the terminal where it is sharply angled to a flat trefoil knop. There is a second copper-alloy rivet just above the knop. Length 55.13mm, width 12.16mm, thickness 3.39mm. Weight 8g. Many strap-ends of this type are known from 14th-century contexts in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 145).

PUBLIC-4F1DF4: BUCKLE
A fragment of a copper alloy buckle plate of probable post-medieval date, perhaps 16th to 18th century. The plate is long and triangular, made from a single piece of sheet metal folded in half with a slot cut for the pin. The slot and the gap at the fold are filled with iron corrosion, probably from the pin but also perhaps from an iron bar or spindle. There are no frame recesses. There is a circular iron rivet at the narrow end to attach the plate to the strap. The metal has a rough brown patina. This object has few distinctive features that can be used to assign a date, but the lack of frame recesses may suggest that it has been used on the central bar of a double-loop buckle frame (compare WAW-D735A5). A parallel from a late 15th- or early 16th-century context in London has no frame recesses, iron rivets and a similar tapered shape (Egan 2005, 38, no. 122).
