OXON-92BF6B: THIMBLE
A Late Medieval copper alloy thimble with a plain rim.It has a single shell with circular indentations in columns on the sides and rows on the head with plain apex.Dates to the period from 14th to 15th Centuries AD. The thimble 16.1mm long, 22.3mm wide and weighs 5.65 grams. This form of thimble is sometimes termed an acorn cup thimble. Similar examples are illustrated by Read (2018: 22) who suggests a date of use betweenc . AD 1330-1400. He also comments comments that while some of this type of thimble were made in England, many were imported from Nuremberg and other European manufacturers (Read 2018: 26)

YORYM-915478: VESSEL
A fragment of a Humber Ware vessel of medieval date, c.AD 1250 - 1500. The object is a partial handle, presumably from a large jug. The handle has an ovate section, wider to one end than the other, both terminating in worn brakes. The wider end, where the handle would meet the vessel proper, displays ovate depression, one to either side, as a result of the potter using thumbs to press the handle onto the vessel wall. The handle is decorated with a series of parallel transverse grooves, resulting in a twisted ribbed appearance. The fabric is hard fired with a grey core and red outer edges. It has a rough texture with gritty inclusions. An olive-green glaze covers most of the fragments and traces of a yellow slip can also be determined. The vessel is 64.1mm in overall length, 38.9mm wide, 23.1mm thick and weighs 51.9g. Handle fragments are common ceramic survivals because they are usually the thickest part of the jug - the handles are formed separately and stuck on by hand before the vessel is fired. Humber Wares were most popular from the late 14th to 15th centuries and were produced at a number of sites around the Humber area, including West Cowick and Holme-upon-Spalding Moor. The vessel forms are competently made but utilitarian and functional in appearance. The main form are jugs, cisterns and urinals. Ref: Mainman, A. and Jenner, A.

DENO-912BB4: JEWS HARP
A copper alloy jews harp (or jaws harp), of the Medieval to Post Medieval period (c. 1400 - 1700). In plan, the jews harp consists of a sub circular head, and two tapering arms, both with the characteristic lozenge-shaped cross-section. The arms are complete. The rabbet is located at the apex of the head, no trace of the iron tongue remain. The jews harp measures 63.1 mm in length, 28.0 mm wide at the head (and 12.3 mm wide at narrow end). It has a thickness of 8.8 mm and weighs 21.25 g. The jews harp is only partially patinated and shows the original colour of the copper alloy on its outer edges. It appears that the object has been cleaned since removal from the ground. Jews harps, or trumps have a long history of being folk instruments, with a wide geographical distributions. They are believed to be indigenous to South East Asia, and had been introduced to Europe by the Crusades (11th to 14th Centuries AD). The form of the European Jews harp, is made from metal, commonly iron in modern examples. The tongue forms a separate component hammered into a rabbet in the thickest part of the frame. The other end of the tongue is bent into a prong, however this part of the jews harp rarely survives in archaeological examples. To play the instrument, it is held in one hand, with the frame being lightly supported between the player's teeth. The metal tongue is then plucked by the fingers on the other hand. The mouth cavity acts as a resonator and the pitch can be modified by the position of the lips, tongue and cheeks (Egan, 1998, 284). Four iron jews harps were recovered from excavations in London's waterfront, and have been dated from c.1270 to c.1400 (Egan, 1998, 284-5). Over 150 examples have been recorded on the PAS database, most with a circular head as opposed to a flattened or oval head and the majority of them have been attributed to the Post Medieval period. This example is probably Late Medieval to Post Medieval in dating (1400 - 1700 AD). Several similar jews harps have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WMID-7C31E5, WMID-473D61, WMID-62A07D, WMID-F8D0D6, HAMP-049973, KENT-056426 and HESH-E8D571.

OXON-912AE5: NUT CRACKERS
A Post Medieval nut cracker arm (opposing one arm missing). The arm has an acorn-shaped terminal at one end, and at the opposing end, a broken square section with six horizontal bars. The hinge of the nut cracker would have been located at the end of this section, returning in a (probable) identical arm. Other examples of similar nutcrackers is SUSS-0F5604 and DYFED-2FD44D. Suggested date: AD 1600-1800.

GLO-9129C1: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy penannular brooch of Fowler Type D. The brooch has a circular cross-section frame that is bent round to form a loop, although one arm has been bent outwards slightly distorting that frame.

SWYOR-910D14: HAMMER
A copper alloy probable hammer of uncertain date, Iron Age to Modern, about 400 BC - 1900. The hammer head is a pointed oval in plan, with a point at one end and a bifurcated end, perhaps a claw terminal. There is a circular perforation for the handle which is closer to the claw end. In profile, the pointed end is much thicker than the claw end. The thickness reduced suddenly in the centre, resulting in a pointed oval shape with a step in the middle. The perforation is through the thinner claw end. The pointed end is 5.8mm wide and the claw end is 9.5mm wide. It has a V shaped notch between the two pointed claws. The surface of the hammer has a light green patina which is fairly thin, perhaps suggesting a date at the later end of the range. It also has some pitting and the surface is bumpy. The hammer weighs 110.13 g. It is 73.44 mm long. It is 22.65 mm wide. It is 18.24 mm thick. Similar objects on the PAS database are KENT-709B56, SWYOR-5CD7F1 and LVPL-E14727, though none are a very close match to the form of this example. Copper-alloy tools dating to later periods for finer working such as jewellery making are known. It could also be for another specialised function.

LEIC-90FC22: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy bow brooch foot, 13mm in length, 8mm wide and 8mm thick with a weight of 1.51grams. The object consists of a sub-rectangular shaped and rectangular cross sectioned plate whose reverse houses a tapering catch plate which is as high as the fragment. The lower edge is complete and has a raised border c.1mm wide and above this are two adjoining (one complete and one partial) stamped ring in dot motifs. These and the positioning of the catch plate suggest that only a small portion of the sides are missing. The object is probably the foot form a Trumpet derivitive 'Alcester' type brooch or perhaps a narrow bow and fantail type.

GLO-90F814: BUCKLE
A fragment of a copper alloy penannular buckle that is late roman in date. Only one side remains showing that the frame had a shallow curve on the forward edge that led to the steeply curved sides, this curve continued and became more pronounced to the rear where it curved round and back on itself forming an internal hook. This would have been mirrored in the other side with a small gap between the internal hooks. At the rear of the frame is the remains of an projection loop where the pin axes/strap bar would have been mounted See GLO-DFA063 and GLO-871BC8 for a complete example. Hawkes and Dunning Type II See SUR-886B81 for a further discussion on this type of buckle.

DENO-90E720: HARNESS MOUNT
An incomplete lead post-medieval harness mount (c. 1600 - c. 1850), missing parts of its edge. It is circular in shape. It has a central raised circular boss on the obverse with a beaded border. Filling the rest of the obverse are eight raised penannular rings, each containing a raised pellet, arranged in a circle around the central boss. The reverse is flat and undecorated. There is no evidence of lugs or rivets for attachment, but these may have broken off from the edge. It has a grey patina with a whiter, more powdery surface in the recesses. There are various other harness mounts recorded on the PAS database with broadly similar designs, including ESS-639426, YORYM-98FB34, BERK-35F236 and CORN-9F5675. Overall, the mount measures 54.6 mm in diameter and 7.6 mm thick. It weighs 59.55 g.

FAKL-90E657: STRAP FITTING
Cast copper alloy 'strap fastener' or 'baldric hook' of late Iron Age date, c. 100BC-AD100. The fastener consists of a ring, with a 7.2mm diameter, circular section. On one face of this is a 9.7mm high, projecting stud with a waisted section topped by a 16.0mm diameter disc. Parallels for this object have been found at Camerton, Somerset (Jackson, 1990, 77, No. 81, pl 11) and Coleford, Gloucestershire (Stead, 2006, 180-181, No. 128, Fig. 82). Diameter 37.9mm, Thickness 7.2mm, Mass 39.18mm.

SWYOR-90DEB5: HARNESS MOUNT
A copper alloy object which is probably part of a harness mount from an elaborate set, or a harness pendant of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is two elements. One is figurative, in the shape of a letter B with a projection from one end which divides into two arms that form part of a hinge. A copper alloy pin joins the two parts of the hinge. The other element is the single lug that articulates with the hinge and is broken at the other end. There is a trace of gilding on one side of the single lug, and on the internal bevelling round one of the loops of the B. The fitting weighs 5.66 g. It is 37.22 mm long. It is 15.36 mm wide . It is 6.10 cm thick. This is an unusual design for which a parallel has not yet been identified. Having the double lugs of the hinge on the B also seems unusual, as the double lugs are usually on the pendant suspension mount rather than the pendant, but there is no evidence of attachment on the letter. It could be an element from an elaborate harness mount such as SF-5A76E2.

FAKL-90A2E3: MOUNT
Hollow, cast copper alloy mount dated to c. 1000-1100 and decorated in the Anglo-Scandinavian 'Urnes style'. The mount is in the form of an animal's head with a pointed nose and a broad forehead. The tip of the nose was decorated but corrosion now makes it difficult to see the details but it appears that the top of the nose was marked by a baluster moulding on either side of which was scroll motif. Between the nose and the main part of the head are two circular openings between which, and either side of which, are plain areas. Above this area are two, hemispherical eyes set within raised rings and well-defined eye-brows. A central bar runs down the forehead, this is marked by a transverse groove and flanked by to scrolls. On the end of the mount are two small, rounded, ears. The fitting arrangement consists of a small tongue extending from the animal's nose through which is a small rivet.

OXON-907164: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy 2nd Century AD Roman Tutulus type Disk or circular Brooch, which originally would have had six equally spaced peripheral lugs on the rim; there are four remaining. The front is conical and at the apex of the cone, in the centre, is a pellet atop a circular plate which itself lies within the recess of the cone, with a circular "moat". Externally the cone rises from the circular base and from within a decorated inner rim, possibly of small pellets. The base also has a "moat"edged by the rim that supports the lugs. The reverse has a flat rim from which rises the concave inside of the cone. The rim contains the hinged section which would have held the pin, which is missing as is the clip piece which would have been where the broken part is situated. There is a similar example in Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattat's Ancient Brooche number 539-540. Brooches of this type date from c.AD .100-250.

FAKL-905B0A: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Cast lead object in the form of a human face of probable Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The face shows a broad forehead and narrow eyes, the nose is now flattened and the mouth consists of a slit with thin lips. The hair is shown on the top of the head and cropped around the ears. Around the head is a narrow flange the edges of which appear cusped. On the back of the object is a 7.0mm deep, oval hollow. This is important as it shows that the object was cast in a two part mould and the molten lead was not simply poured into a hollow as is the case of many lead objects. Stylistically, the face would fit best into the Medieval period. Length 23.7mm, Width 29.3mm, Height 10.4mm, Mass 34.48g.

DENO-901305: BUTTON
A copper alloy post-medieval button (c. 1500 - 1600). The button is conical with a integral drilled shank at the pointed end, and a raised circular pellet at the centre of the wide flat end. The button is broadly similar to examples illustrated in Read (2010, 35), which also have a raised pellet and an integral drilled shank, but are bi-convex or spherical rather than conical. Overall, the object measures 16.2 mm long and 12.3 mm in diameter at the wide end. The lug measures 7.3 mm wide and 3.4 mm thick. It weighs 4.83 g.

OXON-8FF20E: HARNESS MOUNT
A copper alloy cast Medieval harness pendant mount, dating to circa 13th to 14th Centuries AD. It has a hole in the top part of the mount and is decorated with two horizontal "bars" above and below the central hole. It also has a fastening rivet at the top of the mount which projects on both the front and back.

FAKL-8FE1C3: PIPE TAMPER
Pipe taper in the form of a claw hammer, probably of 19th century date. The hammer was attached to a handle by way of hollow socket the diameter of which expands down its length and is marked by a pattern of fine, circumferential, grooves. The hammer head and claw expand from a block the two faces of which bear recesses each containing two raised rings. There is a smaller, unmarked recess on the top of the head. The face of the hammer is circular and linked to the block by a cylinder bearing two baluster mouldings. The claw is down-curved, its slop expanding from 2.2mm to 3.1mm. There is a small notch either side its junction with the block and what may be crude setting out lines extend from the slot across the block. Length 46.9mm Width 47.0mm, Thickness 9.8mm, Mass 25.13g. The identification of the this object as a pipe tamper is tentative, it has been suggested these tiny hammers were used by piano tuners but the piano section of Salaman's 'Dictionary of Woodworking Tools' (1975) fails to show anything like these objects . Their small mass would make it difficult to drive even the smallest nail and the slot forming the claw could only accommodate what would have been a fairly large nail.

SWYOR-8FA67D: BROOCH
A copper alloy buckle or brooch pin of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1500. Its decorative element, and length (43.39mm), suggest it belonged to an annular brooch. The pin is of D shaped cross-section and tapers slightly in width, which at its maximum is 5.95mm, and is 1.6mm thick.

NMS-8E3DB3: FIGURINE
Post Medieval tin alloy fragment of a robed probably religious figurine. The figure is hollow and is extant from the waist up with much of the reverse missing from old breaks. The surviving part of the reverse juts out behind the head forming the top and one side of a hollowing rectangular shape, it is not evident if this forms part of a surface mount or perhaps a pack worn on the back. Lower arms are bent at the elbows with hands clasped together at the chest. Flowing robes or vestments are detailed below the arms which flow symmetrically into the centre from both shoulders. There is an upwards curved triangular central projection above the hands to the neck, but it is unclear if this is part of the vestments or perhaps the head of a swaddled child held close to the breast; given the lack if relief it is perhaps more likely to be the former. The material and manufacture of this figure suggest a Post Medieval date, perhaps in the range circa AD1700-1850. Finder's Field Name: WYRD

SWYOR-8DD0AA: WEIGHT
A cast lead pendent weight of lentoid form with an integral sub-oval suspension loop dating from the Medieval or Post Medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1800. The object has a length of 65.95mm, width of 28.86, thickness of 18.41mm, and weighs 109.03g, which closely corresponds to a quarter of a pound (4 ounces, 109.4g). It is decorated on both sides with a herringbone pattern within a beaded border, and is lozenge shaped in cross-section, making a prominent ridge on each face. Several functions, including plumb bobs and net sinkers, for such pendent weights have been suggested (Egan 1998, pp. 310-311). Whilst it has been noted elsewhere on the database that their chronology may span the medieval to post-medieval periods (LVPL-95D566), Egan cites a not dissimilar one found in a context which dates from AD 1350-1400 (Egan 1998, p. 310).

NMS-8DAE22: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative rearhook brooch of Mackreth's (2011) Type 1.c.d. The C-shaped wings are fully moulded with bead and reel decoration. On the reverse of one wing is a blob of iron corrosion from the missing spring or axis bar. The stub of the rearhook projects from the centre of the head. A central ridge runs down the centre of the bow from the bottom of the rearhook to the foot. An additional ridge runs down each long edge from the top of the wings to the foot. The solid catchplate projects from the reverse of the foot and terminates in a rolled pin rest. It exhibits traces of iron staining, probably from the missing pin. See: Mackreth, D.F, 2011, Vol. I, p. 61.

Sheet copper alloy end cap of pointed oval cross-section from a post-medieval scale tang knife, containing remains (now loose) of an iron scale tang. The proximal end is engraved with a saltire and both sides with three oblique lines. Very similar to an example from North Lincolnshire (NLM-8CB400). Length 13.9mm, width 16.8mm, thickness 11.2mm. 16th century.

SWYOR-8D9CB4: BEAD
An opaque light blue globular glass bead of unknown date, Iron Age to Modern, 400 BC - AD 1900. The object is 9.2mm in diameter, has a length of 7.4mm and weighs 0.79g. The central perforation has a diameter of 3.3mm. The bead was formed from a spiral of molten glass, visible as a slight spiral ridge. Glass beads are problematic to date. Whilst often considered to be Roman (see, for example, LON-00CE9C, and SWYOR-F91EF7) or Early Medieval, beads of this form have been in use from the Iron Age through to modern times, for example 'in spangles on lace making bobbins in the 19th century', (GLO-867B76). Consequently it is not possible, without additional contextual or diagnostic evidence, to date this bead with any accuracy.

SUR-8D9C6E: THIMBLE
A crushed copper alloy Medieval thimble, 12.5mm high, with round holes in a spiral around the body, a simple double linear border around the open end and an unpierced tonsure 8.2mm in diameter.

BUC-8D9A98: BROOCH
An incomplete, copper alloy, Late Iron Age - Roman Brooch, 100 BC - AD.100. The Object comprises the bow and part of the broken spring of the brooch, the majority of the spring, catchplate and pin are missing. The head of the brooch, retains two projections that would have formed into the spring. It then moves up the bow as a rectangle 23.2mm long, this then terminates in a decorative central section. this is formed of matched waisted collars upon either end of a central cylinder 8mm long. Below the lower collar the bow continues towards the foot, flattening and slightly flaring. The whole object is heavily corroded and pitted removing any decoration. The whole object is twisted out of its original shape and damaged, probably by action in the ploughsoil. Brooches of similar design can be found in Hattatt 2000 fig.152.

SOM-8D761A: BRIDLE BIT
A copper alloy mount of Medieval date. It is formed of two curved upright arms, D-shaped in cross-section and which are linked at their closest point by an integrally cast oval cross bar with flat back and front and curved sides. The uprights are both incomplete with on complete and one broken end. The complete ends are near the oval cross bar and end in slightly flattened circular terminals. The incomplete ends are both concave, as though they have broken across air holes or joints. The longer upright starts to curve more strongly away from the cross bar to almost be at 90 degrees to it just before the break. There are traces of gilding on the sides. The piece is 29.4mm by 32.5mm, 4.9mm thick and weighs 12.70g. One end of a larger B-shaped mount, several near complete examples of very similar form are recorded on the database: HESH-8D5A24, KENT-36F8E3, NARC-125826, BH-CA4C12, DUR-D408EC, SF-B290D4, SF-263043, NMS-81F3E6 and NMS-01A696. These mounts may have been used to decorate a horse harness (bridle bit, as suggested by Webley, 2020), furniture or a casket. An example from Baynard's Castle, London (discussed in detail by Wilmott 1982) has an iron cross bar and was suggested to be a brooch but the robustness of the examples makes this suggestion unlikely, HESH-8D5A24 also has a cross bar in copper alloy which is not sprung like a brooch pin. Some are decorated with shields similar to other horse furniture of the period (Griffiths (1989) figs 5 and 6 who suggests a 13th to 14th century date) and others have more elaborate terminals and cross bars, e.g. Goodall (2012, 139; ref. 209), SWYOR-7B58E3, SF-B290D4 and PAS-8CBF8B. Examples are also known in iron, again a material more common with horse harness fittings: Goodall (2011, 225; fig. 9.30).

SWYOR-8D47C3: SEAL MATRIX
A copper alloy Medieval seal matrix dating from AD 1300 - 1400. The seal has an oval face and a conical handle of hexagonal section terminating in a trilobed final perforated with a circular hole. A worn hollow in one facet of the handle was probable an orientation mark. The matrix depicts (described from the impression) a standing robed figure facing right, with a large leaf on each side. There is also a circle in the upper right field, with a star of five arms inside it. The legend is not clear. It seems to read: * SAVN CA[_]A[...]K[...]CO[...], probably a variant on the name St Catherine. The matrix has a dark brown patina and weighs 11.96 g. It is 23.57 mm long. It is 18.33 mm wide. It is 27.40 mm high. A matrix with a similar design, and perhaps a matching legend is NARC-12C17B. Other seal matrices with similar designs are IOW-83B537, DENO-946420, WMID-C5F210 and KENT-AD2EE6 and it has been suggested that the figure is Mary with legends starting AVE MARIA. DEV-2F100E is also the same design, and suggests that the circular motif is St Catherine's wheel.

The curve at both ends of the side survive where the corners of the frame were. The front face of the frame is decorated with closely spaced narrow incised grooves across the frame. There are also traces of a black coating. There is not a close parallel in Whitehead, but number 665 on page 104 has similarities. It is 47.9mm long, 7.3mm wide and 3.3mm thick. It weighs 4.03g. The breaks are worn and patinated.

SWYOR-8D024D: SPINDLE WHORL
An incomplete, cast lead spindle whorl of probable Early Medieval to Medieval date, about AD 900 - 1200. It is 32.2mm in diameter and 8.6mm thick. It weighs 28.62g. The central hole is 10.61mm in diameter. The whorl is a pale brown in colour with an even patination and no surface decoration. It seems to have been worn down across its upper surface, or be miss-cast, or broken, resulting in a triangular, slightly dished, section. The thinner side is worn through almost to the central hole. On the lower surface is a circumferential trough running parallel with the central hole which may be a result of shrinkage after casting. Undecorated spindle whorls of this type are difficult to date with any certainty, this appears to be a Walton Rogers Form B and the large hole may suggest a Late Anglo-Saxon date onwards. Form B are thought to be Early Medieval to Medieval (Walton Rogers pp 24 - 25).

BH-8BF4B1: SPOON
Description: A cast silver spoon handle dating to the Post Medieval period (c. AD 1600-1700). The handle has a plain hemispherical terminal that extends to a gradually narrowing section of six concentric recessed flutes. The fluted section expands slightly and is capped by a rectangular-shaped concentric collar with a thin raised central band. The shaft of the handle is hexagonal in cross section and narrows slightly and gradually as it extends towards the double pointed v-joint terminal. There are several scratches across the surfaces of the object, especially on the shaft. Dimensions: 58.5mm in length; hemispherical terminal 7mm in diameter; shaft a maximum of 4mm in diameter. Total weight: 6.97 grams. Discussion: Tom Redmayne has pointed out that the v-shaped end to the stem section is where the separately-made bowl and rest of the stem was originally soldered to the top part of the stem and finial. This method was widely used in the 17th century to also manufacture seal-top and apostle spoons, and the v-joint was typical of the London spoon makers. Provincial spoon makers used a similar method, but used lap-joints which had a single, slanting cut to the end of the stem section below the finial. The octagonal cross-section was also widely used at this time.

The back of the piece is undecorated except for a shallow depression corresponding to the boss on the front of the brooch. There are two integrally cast projections that would have originally been the catchplate and pin hinge, though both are now merely worn stubs.
