County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper-alloy swivel of medieval to post-medieval date. Each loop is broadly D shaped in plan and rectangular in cross section, one loop has been bent upwards slightly. Each loop expands towards the perforated oval bezel. The loops are connected by a copper-alloy rivet which widens on one side, it has a flattened top on the other side.

Record ID: HAMP-AFB672
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy unidentified object of probable late early-medieval date. The artefact is broken at both ends. The top end is incomplete, a recess is visible at the break, presumably the cylindrical recess would have accommodated a circular cross-sectioned axis bar. The cylindrical recess is at a one hundred and thirty five degree angle suggesting that the artefact was offset to the bar. The artefact gradually tapers towards a zoomorphic head. The head is depicted through raised mouldings and incisions. Located at the top of the head is a V-shaped incision which is sit…

Record ID: HAMP-AEBA60
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment possibly from a cast copper-alloy axehead of Bronze Age date. The fragment consists of a fragment of the blade and includes an abraded, expanded cutting edge. The axehead has been broken approximately 7.5mm from the cutting edge which is distorted; the 'cutting edge' is also notably blunt. At the break the object has a pointed oval cross-section. The object is highly corroded and is largely a mid grey colour, but with some patches of mid green corrosion.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet buckle plate. Half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. It is broadly trapezoidal and narrows slightly at the attachment end (W.: 15.6mm). The other end is recessed to accommodate the frame and has broken at this weak point. There is a central notch for the pin at this end; the tabs curve round, one is incomplete. A central perforation towards the attachment end would have held an iron pin judging by the orange/brown corrosion product around it on the lower surface. Th…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a bladed object of Bronze Age date. The object consists of the abraded blade tip, that tapers to a broadly rounded point. All of the edges have been abraded and broken to a greater or lesser extent. The break is broadly straight. The blade is broadly oval in cross section. Where it survives the metal has a dark-brown patina; underlying this it is a corroded mid-green colour.

Object type: RIVET
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete medieval to post-medieval sheet copper-alloy rivet. The rivet is made from a kite-shaped piece of copper-alloy rolled into a cone. The top is flattened to form a head. The function for these objects is unclear. However, it is thought that they may have been used for repairing metal vessels.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very worn, corroded and incomplete cast asymmetrical double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. This example is incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin and the majority of one loop. The surviving loop is rectangular. The loop has evidence of moulding along its outside edge which is heavily corroded. In general the lower surface of the buckle is bevelled and undecorated. The buckle has corroded to a variable green colour with areas of underlying red-brown metal showing through.

Record ID: HAMP-AD3767
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a Bronze Age cast copper-alloy socketed spearhead. The fragment is now sub-trapezoidal in plan, with breaks at both ends and at the socket. The surviving fragment is broadly triangular in cross section, in full it whould have been broadly lozengiform in cross-section. The edge is abraded and slightly bent. The metal has a variable dark-green patina with some pitting and small patches of lighter corrosion product. Unfortunately with so much of the artefact missing, it is very difficult to tell the phase of the Middle/Late Bronze Age to which it belongs.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sheet plate from a copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end. The plate is trapezoidal in form, narrowing gradually to an tapered end with flattened tip. The second plate is missing. The strap-end is held together by a pair of rivets, both survive. The object has corroded to a variable mid/dark-green colour. It has been bent upwards slightly. It can be dated to the 13th to 14th century and examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 147; ref. 698) and also Griffiths et al. (2007, 134-135; ref. 1552).

Object type: STRAINER
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A damaged fragment of a copper-alloy strainer/skimmer plate of probable medieval/post-medieval date. Three pierced circular holes of slightly irregular outline are present plus at least six incomplete holes on the four broken edges. Various more complete plates can be found on the database (e.g. WILT-0F6255, GLO-068886 and BH-F41444) and they seem to commonly break up along the perforations. Evidence from excavations in London suggests that most of these artefacts probably date from later medieval to early post-medieval period (see Egan 1998, 155-158). This fragment has corroded to …
