Copper-alloy bow brooch fragment. Only the foot and lower part of the bow of the brooch survives and therefore a definite classification can not be given. The surface of the bow is decorated with a row of lozenges set point to point along the centre of the bow. It is likely that these lozenges would have originally been filled with enamel. Weight 3.85g, length 36.63mm, thickness 3.13mm, width 6.10mm, oval cross-section. Diameter of foot is 7.06mm x 6.39mm. T catch-plate partially survives in incomplete state - thickness 0.49mm, probable original length was c.23.05mm. 1st to 2nd cen…

Flint core, triangular in plan and oval in profile. This core appears to have been worked three quarters of the way around. There is evidence of truncated feathered flaking. It is mid grey with cream flecks and has a blue patination in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 138, Fig. 5.125, No. 7 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Nine sherds of ceramic vessel. Most if not all of the sherds are from Roman vessels, including one body sherd of decorated Samian Ware, three sherds of Nene Valley Colour Coat two of which are rim sherds, three rim sherds of Sandy Grey Ware, and a single sherd of Shelley Ware. Shelly Ware ranges in date from the Iron Age through to the Medieval period. There is also a body sherd that has a grey reduced core and orange oxidized surfaces. This sherd has a high quantity of quartz so might be a form of Grey Ware. Total weight of all nine sherds is 141.44g.

An incomplete Early Saxon gilt bell-shaped pendant with almost identical "chip carved", engraved and stamped ornament on both faces. At the top, below the point at which missing suspension loops would have projected, two secondary rivet holes, one retaining a rivet, have been driven through uncertainly interpretable zoomorphic ornament. Below this, the curving necks of two animals spring from a lozengiform moulding and curve around to openwork heads at the base. These have huge open jaws, the lower ones scrolled, and the upper missing. The lozenge and animal necks are decorated with e…

A fragment of the face from a Post-Medieval lead or lead-alloy toy pocket watch. Use of a rim chart indicates that if the outer edge of the clock face is present on the fragment (probably but uncertain) the clock face originally had a diameter of 40.00mm and that the fragment represents between approximately 10% and 15% of the total circumference. Weight 0.98g, thickness is 1.26mm. See PAS records LON-DCCBE3 and NMGW-195EF8 for records of similar artefacts.

Flint core, roughly oblong in plan and profile. This appears to be an irregular core fragment which has been worked three quarters of the way around. The proximal end is broken and the distal end forms the platform. The core shows evidence of gloss. It is a blend of greys with cream flecks in colour and covered by 1-49% of cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 85, Fig. 30, No. 1 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper on a squat short flake of opaque black Portland chert. The lateral margins are convergent to the distal end. On the left margin is worked a hollow scraper with abrupt retouch.The right margin is semi-abruptly worked bifacially to a continuous right angled wedge profile. Hollow scrapers have a wide date range but this may have been a Neolithic Y-shaped tool. Butler(2005) illustrates some on page 133, fig. 56, 1-2.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thin blade of dark brown flint with two slightly convergent dorsal ridges running from the proximal end and a more complex pattern near the distal end. The proximal end has been removed with a straight truncation and the distal has been trimmed with bold semi-abrupt edgework. The left ventral margin has discontinuous groups of semi-abrupt and invasive flakework and some of this occurs on the dorsal side of that edge, perhaps to straighten or sharpen the cutting edge. This piece seems to be a fairly informal plano-convex knife. Butler(2005) illustrates some more developed examples on…
