Workflow stage: Published
A pair of copper-alloy straight-sided tweezers, probably dating to the Roman period. The tweezers are formed from a single strip of rectangular-section copper alloy. A circular-section penannular ring intended for suspension from a chatelaine is looped through the closed end of the tweezers and is made from a different copper-alloy to the arms. The arms are parallel-sided for their full length and are bent inwards to form pincers. The edges of the pincer blades are bevelled.

Object type: BELT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy belt phalera or 'fob', probably dating to the first century AD, although the date range of such objects is a subject of some debate. If it is from a shoulder belt, it would have to date to the period AD 150 to 250. The fob is circular in shape and openwork in design. An outer ring, which is hemispherical in section, encloses three pointed oval 'petals' arranged in a trefoil motif. Each petal has a moulded rib at its point. These 'petals' radiate from a central cylindrical knob, which has a rounded terminal. The knob is enclosed within a deep circumferential groove. On t…
