Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of cast copper-alloy, possibly from the rim of a vessel of uncertain Roman or later date. It is roughly rectangular in form with flattened upper surface, terminating in old breaks at both ends and beneath the rim(?). All surfaces have a dark green patina, the lower edges folded back against itself due to post-depositional damage. It measures 56.33mm in width, 8.30mm in length, 3.19mm in thickness, and 5.26g in weight.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead spindle whorl or weight of uncertain date. The object is circular with a flat base and rounded top, rounded edges, and has a central perforation running through it. All surfaces appear undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is worn. The object is 28.6mm in diameter, 7.6mm thick and weighs 36.8g. The perforation is 6.6mm in diameter. Lead spindle whorls and weights were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty without supporting archaeological context. The function of such ob…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A rim sherd from a cast copper-alloy vessel of probable Medieval or later date. A short length of the flaring rim survives, with transverse ridge on the interior surface and broad groove on the exterior, its original form and diameter uncertain due to the preservation of the object.

Record ID: BUC-EF2674
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A n incomplete copper-alloy vessel escutcheon/handle attachment, probably dating from the Roman to Medieval periods. The top end survives of what appears to have been a shield-shaped attachment plate. This plate has a slight curvature which would have helped it to fit to the wall of a metal vessel. The lower end has been lost in antiquity. At the top is an integral loop, set at 90 degrees to the plate. This loop has a short gap at one point and is of D-shaped cross section.

Record ID: BUC-EE5087
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy ring of uncertain date and function. The ring has a wavy profile and is of oval cross section. At two opposing points the outer surface has corroded away, revealing the core. This ring appears too delicate to have been from a harness, so another, lighter, function seems likely. It may have served as a crude buckle or brooch.
