A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-loop/slide with central perforation for a separate internal rivet, now missing as the hole has abraded through. The artefact is broadly rectangular, with a large moulded outer edge. The outer edge has terminal knops and a large central knop. This latter is flat on its reverse and decorated on its upper surface with five transverse grooves that create ridges. Its appearance is therefore reminiscent of a bar mount (see e.g. Read 2001, 23; fig. 12). This object now has a dark green patina with areas of lighter corrosion product. A direct parallel in for…

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked mount of post-medieval date (c. 17th century). The mount is formed of an openwork trefoil plate with a bifurcating collar below, the terminal of which would have curved back in a blunt hook, now missing. The upper lobe of the trefoil is perforated to receive a rivet; there is a further rivet hole central on the collar. The upper rivet is missing; corroded iron remains of the second survive in situ. The other lobes of the trefoil are perforated and there is a further, this time broadly lozengiform, hole between the plate and the collar…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded cast copper-alloy foot from an early post-medieval cooking vessel. The object is 'clawed', with five main moulded claws of similar widths, and a transverse rib above. The object is broken just above this 'ankle', revealing a leg of broadly triangular cross-section with rounded corners. The back is flat, as is the base. The base is rounded with abrasions to one side more than the other probably as a product of wear. The object has become slightly corroded and pitted post-deposition, and is largely a variable mid-green colour with some patches of off-white corrosion product a…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A broken cast copper-alloy tinned pin head from an Iron Age swan's neck pin. The head is solid and circular with a central perforation (Int. Dia.: 3.8mm). The surfaces are slightly concave and thin towards the hole. Both sides are decorated with a zone just inside the circumference defined by a pair of circular incisions. Between them the zone is decorated with fine transverse nicks to give a ropework effect. This decoration is repeated for one half of the rim, starting to one side of the integral shaft. The shaft has part of the S-shaped curve that characterises the pin type. It is b…

A broken cast copper-alloy hooked plate from a post-medieval sword-belt fitting. Overall, these strap-fittings tend to consist of a mount with three suspension loops from which hang a trio of hooked plates; the scabbard straps would have been attached to these plates. The ensemble features foliate decoration on their visible faces: an illustration of a complete sword-belt fitting can be found in Read (2008, 220; ref. 793). Their design and decoration are relatively standardised. Such fittings 'proliferate in the 16th and 17th centuries' (Geake 2001, 35). This single hooked plate sur…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A single-looped cast copper-alloy buckle of medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The buckle is of oval form with an offset and narrowed pin bar. There are mouldings at the ends of the pin bar. The frame is bevelled externally and internally on its upper surface; the latter is far steeper. The lower surface is flatter but slightly bevelled both externally and internally. The frame is of a mid-green colour with some small patches of lighter corrosion product. A buckle of similar form and dimensions can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 70; fig. 42).

A small copper-alloy hexagonal annular brooch frame of medieval date (c. 14th century AD). The flat frame has a hexagonal opening; the frame is c. 3.6mm across. An external notch provided the pin constriction; the pin is missing and there is no pin rest (groove). The frame is decorated on its upper surface with a single row of pellets set within sunken rectangular strips; some begin to travel off the edge of the frame. The metal has corroded to a dark-grey colour, with some off-white corrosion product. Brooches with this decoration and of a comparable size have been recorded on this d…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A virtually complete cast copper-alloy medieval 'locking buckle'. The frame is rectangular in plan, with rounded corners. The outer edge is wide (c. 5.6mm), flat and rabbeted (or notched) to accept and secure the U-shaped arm attached to the pin bar. It also features a central triangular indentation in which the pin still rests. In profile the sides of the frame are expanded (Th.: 5.7mm) to receive the off-centred pin bar; from this point they travel down to the outer edge in a curvilinear fashion. As implied, the pin bar survives in situ with the 'pin-chape' surviving around it in …

Record ID: HAMP-1CD500
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small tertiary waste flake: probable debitage of Mesolithic or later date. The flake is broadly semicircular in plan and a shallow U shape in profile. There is cortex along the struck end. The ventral face is curved and smooth with evident ridges down its length and a high bulb. The dorsal face is broadly flattened as a result of two main removals, with some minor removals at the sides probably the result of post-depositional damage. The piece is thin enough to be translucent with some impurities in the flint giving it a light-brown colour.

Object type: DRESS FASTENER (UNKNOWN)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval copper-alloy probable dress fastener formed of a pair folded sheets connected by a loop. The sheet plates are expanded at the attachment end to take rivets at the corners which connect them. They then curve in to waists 11.8mm wide. There are further lateral expansions before the loop, slightly narrower than those at the attachment end. The loop is integral to both plates, starting at one side of one and curving round and down to the other side of the other. It has been bent upwards as a result of old damage. One of the adjacent side protrusions has been abraded o…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A medieval copper-alloy strap-fitting formed of a rectangular sheet folded in two. The folds are connected at the attachment end with a large rivet with a square head. The object has the red-brown colour of medieval pieces that have been gilded; traces of gilt survive on both surfaces. The object has been squashed slightly in antiquity and it is difficult to ascertain whether the fold end would have retained a frame or not. As a result it is difficult to say whether this was a plate for a strap-clasp or a simple strap-end.

A small cast copper-alloy ring of possible Roman date. The object is broadly oval with a flattened 'bezel'. It is rectangular with rounded corners in cross section. It narrows slightly from the 'bezel' to the hoop opposite. The piece has a mid-green patina that survives well with patches of lighter corrosion product in places. It is too small to have functioned as a finger-ring and is seemingly plain.
