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.

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The blade from a broken Late Bronze Age cast copper-alloy socketed axe.

Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This artefact appears to be a gold-plated silver denarius of the Roman Empress Faustina, which has been mounted for suspension with a silver staple and loop, with the staple attached to the loop with two rivets. Roman coins were quite commonly re-used as pendants in the early Anglo-Saxon period, either simply pierced for suspension or with an attached loop. Occasional gold-plated coin pendants are known from this period. However, this does not appear to be a genuine early medieval artefact, for a number of reasons. Firstly, the coin does not appear to be a genuine denarius of Fau…

A pair of extremely worn and corroded copper-alloy Roman coins: either 3rd-century radiate or 4th-century nummi of uncertain emperor, reverse and mint (c. 260 - c. 402 AD). The largest has a diameter of 16.15mm, while the smallest is only 11.35mm; a combined weight is given below.
