A group of three body sherds from a medieval unglazed jar. All three are irregular in shape with fairly fresh breaks. Two are curved, the other angled. The fabric is generally fine and sandy (Winchester type series fabric MDF), with wiping and light scratch marks on the surface. Externally they have an oxidised mid-orange/brown colour, but sooted, with reduced light-grey core. The internal surface is dark grey from sooting from a cooking fire. They vary in length from 54.7 to 69.2mm and are up to 6.4mm thick. A combined weight is given below.

A rim sherd from a large medieval unglazed jar. The rim is everted with a beaded edge. The rim splays out at a forty-five degree angle. The fabric is generally fine and sandy (Winchester type series fabric MDF), with wiping and light scratch marks on the surface. At the break are the beginnings of an applied handle with thumb depressions. Externally it has an oxidised pale orange/brown colour, with reduced light-grey core. The internal surface is dark grey from sooting from a cooking fire. The rim would have had a diameter of c. 340mm, by extrapolation.

Object type: BELL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy spherical animal ('crotal') bell of post-medieval date (c. 17th century AD). The fragment represents part of one of the sides of the bell, mostly the lower hemisphere, broken at one of the sounds holes on the upper hemisphere and the sound slot on the lower. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential rib. The lower hemisphere can be seen to be decorated with an extremely worn 'sun-burst' design formed of incised pairs of lines radiating out from a semicircular cartouche adjacent to the side of the sound slot. Within the …

Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, corroded cast lead-alloy medieval pilgrim's ampulla, broken in two unequal parts. What survives of the artefact, presumably once flask-shaped, is the rounded lower chamber. The upper half has been lost to an old transverse break at around the mid point of the handles. This has resulted in a longitudinal break dividing the ampulla into the chamber, three quarter, and a side section, one quarter. One both surfaces the crack has resulted in losses at the top end. At the sides only vestiges of the lower part of the handles survive. The break makes visible the hollow interio…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and bent cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable dark-grey colour. One loop has been bent as a result of old damage and twisting. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a small cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of medieval to post-medieval date. Only one loop survives: it is sub-pentagonal in form and has a neatly serrated outer edge, with seven points. The loops are shallowly bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower face is flat and plain. The loops angle in towards the pin bar. The other loop is missing beyond the pin bar; the pin is missing too. Buckles with outer edges treated in this way can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 60; particularly ref. 356). Here they are dated from AD c. 1450 to 1600. The buck…

A very worn and corroded, probable contemporary copy of a mid 1st-century copper-alloy Roman as of Claudius, Minerva reverse, (AD c. 41 - c. 50; Reece issue period 2; cf. R.I.C. 100/116; Boon 27ff.) Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a contemporary copy of those min…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small cast copper-alloy mount with probable silver inlay of possibly medieval date. The mount is flat and rectangular in plan, almost square. At the centre is an uncharacterised device formed of two indents just off being perpendicular. One of the indents bifurcates at its tip. Both are filled with a white metal inlay, perhaps silver, but with pits within the inlaid zones perhaps designed to be free of inlay. To the external side of the bifurcated zone is a row of small transverse nicks that follow its edge, some with inlay. The whole is is framed by a grooved border with punched pi…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A slightly corroded and damaged, large cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Hod Hill type with lateral lugs on the upper bow and lateral lugs at the lower corners. It is dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch is incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin and part of the head; it otherwise survives well. The sub-rectangular head terminates in an abraded cylinder which was formed by rolling the terminal back round on itself (W.: 20.3mm). To one side of the central pin slot the upper part of the head has been lost; the half would appear to have been bent downwards very slightly.…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An artefact of uncertain function consisting of a lead core capped with a sheet copper-alloy dome at one end. The main leaden element is corroded and abraded, but broadly cylindrical and is able to sit on its flat, sub-circular base. The other end is shallowly domed and covered with copper-alloy sheeting, abraded at its circumference. At its summit it appears to be perforated, although this is unclear, as is its purpose. The object may have acted as a weighted terminal to something rather than a weight in its own right. The copper alloy cap has a variable mid-green colour.

Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragmentary stud with copper-alloy globular head and beginnings of an iron shank, possibly Roman in date. The head is broadly spherical. The iron shank seems to be circular in cross-section; the exact way these two elements are joined is obscured by corrosion. From the weight the head appears solid and is 12.5mm in diameter with a flattened top. Below, the corroded remains of an iron shank, c. 2.7mm diameter, are vestigial and corroded. Similar large spherical headed studs or nails are recorded in Crummy (1983, 115; fig. 116) from Roman contexts, although those had copper alloy sh…

A cast copper-alloy ring of probable Roman date. It is not fully annular, having two lobes that protrude outwards either side of a flattened section of the circumference. The ring is bevelled internally and externally giving it a lozengiform cross-section with rounded corners. The lobes emerge beyond a ridge present on one surface and are broadly circular in cross-section. The same surface is decorated with incised transverse grooves which are present internally and externally; some have been lost to wear. The outer edge of of one of the lobes is decorated with two similar grooves. …

Workflow stage: Published
A probable cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. One section is broadly sub-oval and flat in profile, with the section to the other side of the slot pyramidal. There are no discernible pottery fragments within the slot. The repair has corroded to an off-white colour. Unfortunately such repairs are not diagnostic; however, a tentative Roman date is offered given finds made in the vicinity.

A fragmentary cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch with a double pierced lug spring attachment dating to the 1st century AD. It is incomplete in so far as it is missing most of its bow and foot, including catch-plate, and the pin. The double pierced lug is situated behind the head as is characteristic of this type. The axis bar is present and would appear to have a square cross-section. The chord and coils all survive: five and a half to one side of the head, and the same number to the other given a break adjacent to the head at which point the pin would have emerged. …
