An incomplete fragment from a Bronze Age object, probably a spearhead or similar of later Bronze Age date. A small rectangular fragment survives preserving a central mid rib that is hollow at its centre, with flattened and tapering blades to either side. The blades are missing their cutting edges, and are separated from the mid rib by single longitudinal grooves. One face of the mid rib has multiple small oval shaped hammer marks, suggestive of deliberate breaking of the origial object in antiquity. It has a dark green patina and measures 31.73mm in width, 19.25mm in length, 7.19mm in …

Object type: BELL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy spherical bell fragment. Cast fragment, comprising part of the upper hemisphere of a one-piece cast bell with a single blow hole and a low rectangular top loop. A greyish tint may indicate the presence of tin in the metal mix, perhaps for its acoustic properties. The interior surface is stained by rust, suggesting the loss and deposit of the bell with its iron clapper, and its subsequent decay and breakage. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700. Diameter (in excess of): 27mm, Height: 23.7mm, Thickness (wall near middle): 1.9mm, Weight: 8.70gms.

Copper alloy buckle. Cast rectangular single looped buckle frame with a thickened outer edge with four horizontally incised lines flanking a deeper pin rest; the strap bar has low knops at its ends, though the appearance of partial moulded decoration is probably merely a casting flaw.

Lead alloy ampulla. Hollow cast bag shaped pilgrim badge, with snall angular loops at its neck. One side of the body bears radial ridges resembling those of a cockle shell. The other side bears a flat circular panel within a low rim, which is either very worn or, more likely, was never adorned in relief, and a horizontal moulded zone of diagonal vertical strokes in low relief between the side handles.

Copper alloy scabbard chape. Cast moulded and collared terminal and [now] triangular flattened sheet metal chape, probably from the sheath for a relatively broad bladed knife or sword. The sheet metal component had a butted seam, while a depression in the end of the terminal may suggest this was lathe finished. Now flattened. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650.

Object type: HINGE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Copper alloy and possible hinge pivot. Initially considered as a coat hook or similar, but the sharp angle might rather commend an identification as a hinge pivot, possibly from furniture rather than a structural context. Cast coat hook with a round section shank angled at its mid point and an expanded and collared terminal which retains the rust stain from an iron or steel fixing pin. Now bent. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900. Length (as found): 25.6mm, Diameter (at terminal): 11.0mm, shank Thickness: 4.1mm, Weight: 5.81gms.

County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Published
A penny of Eadgar, AD959-975 (EMC 2014.0296); parts of the circumference are missing in two areas. The obverse has been gilded. The edge of a small circular hole survives in the edges of one of the breaks which, together with the gilding, suggests that the coin was converted into a brooch, the hole being one of two used to attach a pin. The coin is of a previously unrecorded type. In view of the missing portions the best guess is that the obverse would originally have read EA / DG / AR / REX (in a design reminiscent of the Luda penny of Alfred); it would fit in with other revival…
