Two ceramic wheel-thrown possible Derbyshire ware base sherds, dating from the 2nd-4th century AD (varied thickness; collective weight: 36.51g).

The typical form is a jar with a deep ‘bell-mouthed’ rim or rolled rim. Earlier examples tend to h…

Both have been abraded, particularly at their terminals. They are both decorated with a pair of transverse grooves approximately 3.6mm …

Object type: BUCKLE

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A medieval cast copper alloy buckle with integral buckle plate. The buckle frame is double looped; one loop is square, the other semi-circular. The edge of the square loop is a separate piece, probably iron as there is corrosion at the join with the main frame, but not actually visible as there is a copper sheet roller around it. The semicircular loop curves upwards, and the loop itself is angled in towards the pin bar, and decorated with 3 incised grooves at each shoulder. The pin bar itself is again probably iron judging from the corrosion where it is drilled through the frame, but a…

A cast copper-alloy foot fragment from a Roman brooch. From a prominent foot-knob the brooch expands in width into a seemingly flat foot (see notes, below). The knob is divided from the foot by an expanded raised ridge. The triangular element appears to have a raised border within which is a ?flat plain field. The field, however, is perforated with a circular hole; the break occurred at this weak point. This fragment is probably from an Aucissa derivative brooch, possibly a Hod Hill type. Roman, 1st century AD in date
