Incomplete decorated ceramic food vessel or beaker. Eleven sherds were recovered, which form approximately 25% of the original vessel. Five pieces join back together to form the part of the body of the vessel, and two further sherds join independently; the remaining four sherds do not join together. The vessel surface is a mid-brown colour with a dull grey-brown colour on the inner surface. The vessel has a sandy deposit over surface in places, which is dark brown in colour and extends over some of the breaks indicating where the vessel was broken in antiquity. The deposit is seen eve…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Body to rim sherd of decorated coarse ware. The sherd measures 16.9mm thick and begins to curve over at the top suggesting that this is from the lower part of the rim. The fabric light-grey/brown in colour and contains frequent grit. The interior has a small patch of reddish patina. The exterior is decorated with a crude design of two transverse lines with a row of stamped incomplete ovals above and below. The ovals are very similar to each other suggesting that the marks were made by pressing a stick or bird bone into the clay before firing.

Fragment of a flat piece of copper alloy, with one short end upturned. All edges are broken and the surface of the object is very corroded and worn.

Fragment of an unidentified object. The object is triangular in plan, solid cast, and roughly rectangular in cross-section. The object tapers to a worn but intact point. The objects surface is extremely abraded and has a very rough break.

Approximately half on an unidentified object. The object is plano-convex, solid and an oval shape in plan. There is an hour-glass shaped hole through the centre of the object where it is currently broken. The convex surface is covered in tight rows of linear marks which could be the result of filing, or perhaps the mirror image of the mould it was cast in. The object looks like a miniature verson of a polished stone prehistoric macehead.

Fragment of hollow cast copper alloy, possibly a miscast item of possible Bronze Age date. The object is rectangular in plan and appears to have been a hollow rectangle in section. Only one complete side and two incomplete sides survive. The object flares gently along its length, and also thickens to a triangular section at the widest end. The interior is covered with black soot and charcoal deposits much like is often seen on late medieval and post-medieval cooking pot legs. However, the exterior is smooth and has patches of mid brown patina as is commonly encountered on copper alloy …

Object type: SWORD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE

A fragment of a Middle Bronze Age sword. Only the tip remains, which judging from the neat linear break across the base, was intentionally cut from the body of the spear in antiquity.
The fragment is triangular in plan with a slightly rounded tip. The body of the fragment is flat, circa 2mm in thickness and tapers according to the cutting edges. The cutting edges are circa 3mm in width and are abraded.

A fragment of a late Bronze Age copper alloy sword. The fragment appears to be from the tip end of the sword. The fragment is a pointed oval in cross-section and tapers in plan. The surface is worn and pitted, with a mid-green-brown patina. Either end has a straight break that is well patinated and looks more like an intentional cut rather than an accidental break.

Fragment of a late Bronze Age Ewart Park type sword hilt. The hilt plate is roughly rectangular and is narrowed before the worn and damaged fantail-like terminal. At the other end it survives up to the third rivet aperture. The break runs through the aperture and all surfaces of the break are well patinated and worn. There are two longitudinal channels running along either face, giving the object an undulating cross-section. The bronze is well worn and now a dusty green colour with extensive patches of brown patina. This brown patina almost covers one side whereas on the other si…

Late Bronze Age copper alloy sword, in four pieces and complete apart from the terminal of the hilt. The sword belongs to the Ewert Park phase.

The edges of the hilt taper and curve down to the blade proper. The blade is a pointed oval in cross-section. The edges of the blade are worn.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a late Bronze Age copper alloy sword of Ewart Park-type (circa 1000-800 BC). The fragment comprises most of the handle. It has marginal ribs running down its edges and two circular perforations. One is filled with iron corrosion. This suggests that this fragment might be dated to the cusp between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age (c. 600BC). The handle has an expanded, flared terminal, which tapers to a convex-sided grip. The blade-end of the handle is incomplete, but the 'break' is very neat and linear, and possibly suggests that it was intentionally cut in antiq…
