A fragment of a post medieval copper-alloy circular pan weight, 40.4mm in diameter and 6.5mm thick. The front is flat and divided into quarters by a thin moulded cross; each quarter has a number 1 in the centre, in line with the radius. The reverse is undecorated but has rounded edges.

Copper-alloy repair patch or folded 'paperclip' type rivet from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. It is folded from a lozenge shaped copper alloy sheet and was used to repair small splits in copper alloy vessels. The patch has an even dark green patina. Egan gives a broad date range for this type of pot mend, dating from the Early Medieval to Post Medieval periods ( Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition, page 101) but also suggests a central usage period from about the late 15th to the mid to late 16th Centuries. See NMS-44E086 for a parallel.

The object is C-shaped in plan, with original internal and external edges, but terminating in old breaks at either end. Towards one end the fragment expands in width and tapers in thickness, and is probably almost complete. It is triangular in cross section, with a beveled exterior edge. This face is decorated in low relief, stippled with pellets within two raised borders, the other faces are undecorated.
It is 21.60mm in length (approximating to the diameter of the original item), the central opening is c10.50mm in diameter, and the hoop widens from 5.28mm at one break to 10.51mm at the other. It weighs 3.35g.

A complete, uniface cast lead - alloy agricultural tallie or token of probable post - medieval date, c1600 - 1800. Traces of a casting sprue at either the 12 or 6 o'clock postion remain. A large capital letter H is set off to one side, suggesting a second, no longer visible, letter may have been set on the other side of the token. There is a raised small bar with a central circle set above (or below) and between the two letters. There is also a beaded decorative rim around the inner edge of this face. The reverse face is undecorated but shows signs of a series of short regular lines, suggesting mechanical damage. The metal is greyish in colour and worn. Diameter 25.9mm, thickness 1.8mm, weight 8.14g.
Initials are common on post-medieval tokens from the 17th and 18th centuries onwards (see Fletcher 2005, p. 51-8 for examples).

A copper-alloy trader's token of post-medieval date. c.AD 1600-1700. It is from William Moore of Colchester. Williamson (1889, 218) Essex No. 135, see also Mason (1902, 45).
Obv: W/I with stars either side within an inner circle. Legend surrounding: [WILLIAM MOORE BAYS]
Rev: M/WM within an inner circle. Legend surrounding: [MAKER IN COLCHESTER]
During the mid-17th century (c.1648-1672), due to a shortage of official coins, halfpenny and farthing tokens were issued by private businesses to facilitate small change exchange.
Williamson (1889, 218) notes that 'the "W,I" on the obverse is probably a merchant-mark, as there are two lines through the body of the I, and the correct initials of husband and wife appear on the reverse. The token is very common, and three dies were used of the same type, but varying in details. William Moore was mayor of colchester in 1663, 1664, 1670, 1681, and 1694.

An Early Medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) copper alloy stirrup strap mount, 53.6mm in length, of Williams' Class A, Type 12 (closed form). The mount is diamond or lozenge shaped and has moulded decoration comprising a saltire cross with four recesses, a central moulded boss and peripheral knops to the ends of the arms. Two further knops are present on the lateral points of the diamond shaped frame. An integral loop is located at the top containing the remains of an iron rivet. A flange extends rearwards from the base of the mount, containing the remains of two more iron rivets. The mount has a reddish patina typical of metalwork of this period.

An incomplete copper-alloy spur terminal of medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1700. All that remains is a short length of one D-sectioned arm with an integral figure of eight terminal. A pointed transverse collar is present at the junction of the terminal and arm.
The metal has a mid-grey/green patina and is worn. The spur is 29.3mm long, 14.5mm wide at the terminal and 5.3mm wide at the arm, 2.5mm thick and weighs 3.2g.
A spur with a similar terminal is recorded as BUC-1B8F8B which is dated to the 13th - 14th century based on examples in the London Museum Catalogue. This classification is however based on the terminals and points. Without the rowel box or prick the current fragment cannot be securely dated to this period. A broader date range covering the medieval and Post-Medieval periods is therefore suggested.

An incomplete lead-alloy Medieval seal matrix, dating to AD 1250-1350. It is circular in plan and bears a D-shaped lug on its back; the lug has a circular hole. The die has a cast central motif depicting a basic swirl consisting of a central dot, which is surrounded by six short crescent-shaped elements; the legend around the swirl reads [S' R]ICARD MAROIN ("Seal of Richard Maroin"). The seal matrix is damaged on the edge, missing a small portion close to the lug.
MAROIN could be for MARION - Reaney, DBS s.n. Marion, gives Mariun (1279) and Marioun (1350), but Withycombe [ODECN 3rd ed (1976) ] s.n. Marion, gives the spelling Marion from 1379.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman nail cleaner probably dating from the mid-late third century. The nail cleaner is broadly cylindrical, flattening at one end into a forked and grooved terminal (the nail cleaner). The opposing end tapers to a short point (the tip of which is missing), with a central expanding goove, possibly another type of nail cleaner / toilet implement. The cylindrical body of the nail cleaner is decorated with overlapping linear incisions forming 'x' shapes which appear randomly around the circumference. This nail cleaner does not incorporate a loop. Similar nail cleaners are catagorised as Crummy Type 3, but this example does not fit neatly into this catagory (see Crummy, N, 1983, Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9, Colchester Archaeological Trust Ltd, Colchester p58, fig 62, no 1875). This appears to be a composite tool / toilet implement.

Roman copper-alloy vulvate mount, dating from c. AD 150-300. The mount is formed of a sub rectangular plate with a raised oval shaped boss in the centre. There is a linear groove running lengthwise down the oval, giving the appearance of a stylised vulva.
The underside of the mount is concave where the boss is raised on the front. There are two integral lugs at either edge of the concave portion. They are cylindrical in section and end with a hammered or flattened tip.
The patina is in variable condition, surviving well is some places and in others having worn away. The corners of the flat plate onto which the oval boss emanates are rounded. It is unknown what the original shape of the plate was.
Dimensions: weight: 4.4g, length: 22.0mm, width: 11.4mm, height of boss: 5.1mm, width of boss: 9.5mm, length of boss: 13.0mm, thickness (including lugs and boss): 11.6mm, thickness of plate: 1.5mm

A bi-polar core from Boulder Clay deposited in the last Ice Age, probably worked on an anvil, as indicated by the deep negative scar on the other side and the damage at each end of the piece. Late Mesolithic (between 7400-4000 BC) and similar to material, according to Ron Cowell of the Museum of Liverpool, from sites east of Liverpool or on the Wirral.
Possibly the remnants of a larger pebble used to fashion smaller blades by striking, in this case on an anvil.

A complete copper-alloy dress hook of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1500 - 1650. The dress hook is of Reads Class E, Type 5 being trefoil in plan. The main plate is an openwork trefoil knot design with a D-shaped section. An integral D-sectioned hook extends from the lower curved edge of the bottom loop of the knot, terminating in a point. Two small circular details, possibly representing roses, mark the join between the main plate and the sub-rectangular attachment loop. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated.
The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The dress hook is 25.3mm long, 19.4mm wide, 2.3mm thick and weighs 2.4g.
A similar example is illustrated in Read, p.110, no.437 and is dated to the early post-medieval period.
