Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead spindle whorl of an unknown date. The whorl is circular in shape and the top and bottom surfaces are flattened. Through the centre is a circle hole measuring 8.7mm in diameter. There is no visible decoration on the surface. The whorl has several breakages on one side. The way in which the breaks have occurred suggests that there would have been a high content of tin mixed into the lead before the whorl was cast. The whorl was found on a site that has produced Roman and post-medieval finds. There is a possibility of it being dated as Roman, however, more modern finds hav…

Record ID: BERK-726B33
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy spear tip probably dating from the Bronze Age circa 1700-800BC. Only the tip of the spearhead remains, which is triangular in shape, and lozenge in cross section with a worn midrib. This is the tip of the spearhead only and has a pronounced spine running down its centre, this is flanked by thin blades that taper to a fine point. The rear of the spear is truncated resulting in the loss of the socket and rear section of the blades. The break is worn. An insufficient amount of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed.

Iron ring. A wrought iron ring of uncertain purpose; though possibly apt to serve as a nave band for a small wheel, there are many other possible functions for the object. The mass suggests good survival of the metal core, and so a relatively recent date is advanced. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1900.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy palstave axe dating to the Middle Bronze Age (c. BC 1600-1400). The palstave is near-complete with only part of the broken butt missing. The palstave is roughly sub-rectangular in shape and flattens and flares outwards to form a wide rounded blade, giving the object a slender elongated sub-oval shaped cross-section. The butt is H-shaped in section and terminates towards the centre of the axe with shallow rounded stop-ridge and a peltate-shaped recess on both sides at right angles to the septum.

A double-sided stone muller with a circular cup mark on each face, so partially worked into a shaft-hole implement, dating from the Bronze Age. Ovate in plan, cylindrical in profile and in section, with two convex ends. 136 mm in length, 116 mm in width, 40 mm in thickness and 1151.35 g in weight. Both faces have been ground flat and the rounded edges have been pecked, making it ideal for use as a muller or rubbing stone. The original implement would have been an almost perfect oval in plan but one of the long edges has been damaged through the secondary use of the muller as a hammer-…

Grey-green stone possible muller. A rounded possibly water-rolled pebble with a dull and speckled surface appearance, possibly with worn and in one case slightly concave faces, well-adapted to hold in the hand. This object was recovered as distinctively different from the local stones, and as such is probably a manuport [i.e. brought to the site by human agency]. Such stones might be retrieved as glacial erratics, and lent themselves to uses as rubbers, grinders and burnishers. They are noted particularly from contexts between the Iron Age and the Early Medieval period, though as a fi…
