Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two pieces of copper-alloy casting waste. They are both slightly concave as though they have fomed on a surface. Though with irregular sides both are broadly of quadrilateral form. Both surfaces of both pieces are rough with cooling lines suggesting they were formed from molton metal. The pieces are not distinctive and could be of any date from the Bronze Age onwards although they are evidence for specialist, high temperature, metal working.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. It is symmetrical, formed of a sub-rectangular central plate with rounded triangular protrusions at each short end. It is thin, flat, and plain on both surfaces. The long sides both feature a semicircular cutout centrally. At the ends of the triangular protrusions is a small perforation for attachment; one of the holes has abraded through. The object has a dark-green patina where it survives but is otherwise corroded and lighter.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. It is formed of a flat rectangular arm with rectangular cross-section, broken transversely following old damage and also bent upwards at the break. At the other end the arm curves through ninety degrees to end in a terminal expanded at its base. There are three knops at the outer edge as the piece turns. Those closest to the broken end seem to be the truncated ends of a rounded attachment loop integral to the arm. The object is decorated on both faces with an incised median line from which diagonal lines emerge, offset compared to …
