Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of probable spearhead. Diamond-shaped in section. Edges worn. Although the size suggests this is the tip of a spear and not some larger weapon, there is not enough of the object surviving to be certain. If a spearhead fragment, it is probably of the Rapier Type, Class IVa. It is unlikely to be the tip of a dagger or sword, though could just possibly be from a very narrow rapier (Type IV variant Stretham or Cornacarrow).

Workflow stage: Published
Roman openwork gold finger-ring, now flattened, but not otherwise damaged. The hoop consists of two square-sectioned wires giving a width of 6-7mm, joined with a series of tightly-coiled C-shaped volutes also in square wire. There are ten of these, facing inward at the bezel from the centre back. The bezel is backed with a rather rough square of gold sheet and is virtually circular; there are four small gold grains where the hoop wires are attached. The setting is about 7mm in diameter, and contains a cabochon-cut garnet with an almost flat surface. The ring appears to be late Roman, …

Silver annular brooch. The frame is oval, 20 x 16.5mm (perhaps distorted), and angled; it is thickened on the underside, either side of the pin constriction, with slight transverse ridges flanking the pin constriction on the front. Flattened D-sectioned pin.
Published in TAR 2000, no. 122, without illustration, and with a 13th-century date. The description, with its transverse ridges flanking a pin construction, sounds however more like a post-medieval annular brooch of the kind which often have makers' marks; compare GLO-E7A921, KENT-589DC5 etc. The date-range has accordingly be…
