Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy horse harness bit link. It originally comprised two oval loops,one of which is now broken. They are separated by a narrowed arm with a raised collar next to the broken loop. The back of the object is flat and the front is convex. The broken loop may have done so as a result of wear because it would have been attached to the bit, adjacent to the cheekpiece, and could therefore swing (Williams 2007, p. 4). The other end would have secured the reins. As is usual with this type of harness fitting, it is undecorated. A very similar harness fitting from Headbo…

A Neolithic or Bronze Age sub circular white flint 'pot lid' with cortex over the entire dorsal (natural) surface, and spots of iron staining on the ventral face. Modified to perform as a scraper by flaking, and retouching, along the entire edge. The straight edge has been created by a one large removal and then retouched. Probably Neolithic or Bronze Age (c3500 to c800 BC) but impossible to date accurately. Modified natural 'pot lids' would have made an expedient 'quick fix' tool in an emergency. The retouches on this one suggest it was kept for further use. The length is 20mm,…
