LIN-5FE5FC: WINDOW
An openwork lead panel, possibly a grille or ventilator for a window. The panel takes the form of a circular frame with a trefoil openwork cell to the bottom right and left corners. The circle is divided by five vertical columns and a quatrefoil openwork cell in the centre. A further, possible quatrefoil cell, is located to the left and the right of this. The upper quarter is missing. The finder no longer has this item, but thinks that it was two or three inches in width. This might suggest that it is too large to be a pilgrim item, and therefore more likely to be a grille. In 'The Finds Research Group Datasheet 2. Some ecclesiastical and Monastic Finds' John Cherry (1985) states 'Lead panels, square or diamond shaped and often decorated with openwork tracery patterns, have been found in monastic sites dating from the 13th-15th centuries. They were used as ventilating panels in windows. These panels are also known from royal and archiepiscopal palaces'

LIN-5F9A8D: POLISHED AXEHEAD
A damaged and incomplete polished stone axe of Neolithic date, probably a Group VI Langdale axe. The axe is damaged, apparently having a large concave fracture along one side. The blade edge appears to be worn. Another concave fracture is present at the butt. The surface of the axe has a green-grey patina. The axe probably dates. c. 4000-2351 BC.

LIN-4AE627: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval copper-alloy seal matrix. The seal is heart-shaped in plan, with a large suspension loop above. The seal and the loop are thick. The body tapers from 6.22mm thick at the top to 5.50mm at the base. The suspension loop is rectangular in section and rounded in plan, with a narrowed waist leading to the body. The loop measures 6.85mm thick by 8.59mm wide, and has a circular hole passing both horizontally and vertically through it. The face is decorated with a somewhat crudely incised perimeter enclosing an inscription and a motif in the centre. The central motif depicts a bird - possibly an eagle - with wings outstretched to either side, and head turned to the left. The bird has its legs outstretched. The legend begins at the top left, and reads +SOVDES LDACANTIRR[ ]NE/F, with the N represented as an H, which is standard. The meaning of the legend is currently unclear. It is possibly a place name, rather than a personal name, with the initial L possibly intended for a word such as "le". "Souder" in modern French seems to mean welded or joined, so perhaps the matrix is French and possibly associated with a carpenter. The shape of this seal is unusual, but can be paralleled with another, now in the British Museum, which was probably made in Germany (British Museum accession number 1875,0120.45.

A cast copper-alloy seal matrix of medieval date (14th century AD). The matrix is of circular form, set on a hexagonally faceted stem which terminates with a lis-shaped loop. The die features a central motif surrounded by a impersonal legend. The legend reads '* ALAS IE SV PRIS', (translated): 'Alas, I am caught/taken', a common legend (see for example Harvey and McGuiness 1996, 89; ref. 82). The central device depicts a bird taking a rabbit with a talon to the back, craning its neck to envelope the head and attack it with its beak.

LIN-BA6CB2: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy Late Iron Age lipped terret of Spratling's group V, dating to the period c. 100 BC - AD 25. The terret consists of a curved frame which is oval in cross-section, and joined by a straight bar of triangular cross-section. A large flattened bulbous knop is located at the point where the frame meets the bar on both sides. The frame itself is comprised of six pairs of 'lips', each joined by a short, concave section of frame. The terret has a reddish-brown patina. Spratling, M, G, 1972, Southern British Decorated Bronzes of the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age, pp. 667, Fig. 8, nos. 36 & 37.

LIN-B963D4: COIN
A medieval silver penny of Henry III, moneyer Willem, mint of Canterbury. Struck AD1251-72. North (1994), Class 5.

LIN-B7A328: MOUNT
A possible late Saxon or early Medieval copper-alloy mount of mid-11th century date. The item is flat, openwork, and broadly in the shape of a double oval frame with half of one oval missing. The front of the frame is decorated with chip-carved or moulded segments which as a while appear to depict a coiled beast. The central panel between the two oval loops contains a circle of lozenge motifs, perhaps representing scales. Two small circular lugs project from the complete end. The underside of the mount is undecorated. The mount has a red-brown patina, while the recessed areas are black and perhaps contain the remains of niello. The form and decoration of this mount are broadly similar to examples in records HAMP-B06557, SUR-29B2E1, BH-FD11A0, WAW-21F631, DOR-0C0905, and NARC2635.

LIN-781562: BROOCH
Fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy cruciform brooch, dating to the sixth century AD. Only the headplate and bow remain. The head plate has a trapezoid flat central panel, with a slender rectangular wing to either side. A half-rounded collared knop sits on the top of the head, having been cast integrally with the headplate. The collar on which the knop sits is formed by three transverse bands. A short, faceted bow extends below. Two, possibly three ribs run down the centre of the bow. A single lug is visible on the reverse, surrounded by iron corrosion.

LIN-76C8B3: ARROWHEAD
A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint arrowhead. The arrowhead is made of a white/opaque flint and has been worked all over. This arrowhead is symmetrical and sub-triangular in plan, and pointed-oval in cross-section It has a long tang but no barbs.

LIN-760ED4: COIN
A late Iron Age copper-alloy potin. The coin is of the 'uninscribed British Class II' type (Hobbs 1996: plate 27, no. 715ff). The coin is mostly closely paralleled by Hobbs 1996: plate 27, no's. 718-723.

LIN-66B729: COIN

LIN-669005: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal of late 17th Century date. The cloth seal consists of two discs joined by a connecting strip. A break on the opposite edge on both discs suggests this is in fact two discs from what was originally af four-disc cloth seal. Both discs are sub circular in plan. One bears the coat of arms of either the maker or the town.The coat of arms consists of a shield bearing three martlets (birds) divided by a bend (diagonal line). Two martlets are above the bend and one is below. Identification of the owner of the coat of arms has so far proved unsuccessful. The other disc is worn flat, but a similar cloth seal also containing the same coat of arms had an obverse bearing the inscription: CAR/SAY/1668, which identifies the type of cloth as a 'Kersey', produced in the year 1668. 'Kersies' were a common kind of cheap woollen cloth, widely produced in England, mainly within the counties of Devon, Hampshire and Yorkshire (Egan, 1995, p.75). Egan goes on to note that further examples of these kersey seals have been found in a widespread area: in London; Market Rasen (Lincolnshire); Trier in Germany and in America at colonial sites in Maine and Virginia. Two examples of this seal, bearing the same coat of arms have been already recorded on the PAS database, one from Norfolk (NMS-F18241) and one from Cambridgeshire (BH-007760). Reference: Egan, G. 1995 Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum. British Museum Occasional Paper 93.

LIN-667212: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Fragment of an unidentified object. It has a solid bulbous head with a flattened base. From the centre of this extends a curved shank of square section. The shank tapers to the break. Possibly medieval or post-medieval, and possibly some sort of household fitting.

LIN-64C5AA: COIN
A silver three cents piece of the United States of America, struck between 1851-1853 at Philadelphia. Slightly less than half the coin survives. Obverse: Nationalistic shield on six-pointed star, encircled by [UNITE]D STATES OF A[MERICA] Reverse: Roman numeral III (representing the value) set within an ornate 'C', encircled by [13] stars. The silver three cents piece was struck between 1851 and 1873, but the absence of arrows beneath the value mark III, in addition to the single outline seen on the star on the obverse, allows this coin to be defined as the first of the main three varieties, struck between 1851 and 1853. This coin was known as the 'fish-scale' coin and was the lightest-weight and smallest coin ever struck in the United States.

LIN-63D14F: COIN
Silver penny from the reign of Elizabeth 1st (AD1558-1603), AD1560-1561 (SPINK, p.241, no.2553). Obverse depicts Elizabeth 1st facing left. Inscription has worn away but would have read [EDG ROSA SINE SPINA]. Reverse shows the English shield divided into four quadrants by a long cross fourche.The inscription reads CIVITAS LONDON, with a cross at the top. The coin is very worn and in poor condition. The coin is 0.42g, 14mm diameter. North 1991, p.,133 No. 1988.

LIN-63ABC1: DRESS HOOK

LIN-4D4DF6: FLAT AXEHEAD
Copper alloy developed flat axe of Aylesford type (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981). The axe is dark yellowish brown with an even surface patina except in a few places where green patina is visible. There are a number of shallow grooves on both faces of the blade indicative of use rather than recent damage in the ploughsoil. It measures 58 mm in length but the butt is missing. The break is just behind a median bevelled stop and is patinated consistent with the rest of the axe perhaps suggesting breakage in use. Width at the crescentic cutting edge is 50.5 mm and the axe weighs 89.3 gm with a maximum thickness of 9.2 mm. It has vertically faceted sides worked into slight flanges. No evidence for decoration. It is very similar to an axe from Hutton Cranswick, East Riding, Yorkshire (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981, p. 61 & Plate 37, 316). The axe fits within Needham's Period 3 (MA IV) 2050-1700 CAL BC (Needham, 1996). References Needham, S. (1996). Chronology and Periodisation in the British Bronze Age. Acta Archaeologia, 67, 121-140.

LIN-24B926: FINGER RING
Treasure reference no. 2016 T246: a Roman silver finger ring inscribed TOT. The ring is of Henig type VIII and has a flat, oval bezel, and triangular shoulders. The hoop is missing. The bezel bears the letters TOT - an abbreviation of the god-name Totatis or Toutatis. The letter T's have serrifed terminals, and the central letter O is the same length as the flanking letter T's. Both shoulders are decorated simply with an incised V, pointing towards the hoop. The ring appears to be made of silver, but displays patches of green, copper corrosion. Both shoulders are broken at the point where they met the hoop. The hoop is entirely missing. The breaks are worn and patinated in the same way was the rest of the object. Length: 26.87mm,Width: 8.93mm, Thickness: 4mm, Weight: 3.99g. 'ToT' rings are well known in the East Midlands, especially in Lincolnshire, and a number have been declared treasure such as LIN-A50AD8, LIN-DF32B4, LIN-B2E964, LIN-BOB9D4, SWYOR-9C5DA6 and SWYOR-44888C amongst others on the PASdatabase.

LIN-3F8A6B: JETTON
An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval jetton issued by Hans Schultes II, dating to the period AD 1586-1603. OBVERSE: GLICK KVMPT VON GOT - Three crowns alternating with three lis, arranged centrifugally around a five petalled rose REVERSE: HANS SCHVLTES NVR - Imperial orb (with cross patty) in a tressure with three main arches. Pairs of pellets on the outside, either sides of the points. c.f. Mitchiner 1988, 408, no.1390.

LIN-3D388D: SPINDLE WHORL
A medieval lead spindle whorl. It is biconical and has a large central hole. Both faces are decorated with what appears to be moulded pseudo-lettering separated by pellets. The letter 'A' is visible on one side, both the others are more obscure. Thickness: 13mm, Weight: 44g, Diameter: 30mm. Spindle whorls are very difficult to date, but decorated examples such as this one are usually considered to be Medieval. Most decorated spindle whorls have patterns of dots and lines, but there are also other examples with possible inscriptions on the database. Some parallels are LANCUM-DB9DC5 which has a more literate inscription whereas LVPL-8194A1 has a possible blundered text or imitated letter forms. SWYOR-B3ACC3 has letter like symbols and LANCUM-A16376 has possible letters divided by lines.

LIN-16EAD2: COIN
A medieval silver penny of John, Class 5b, struck AD1204-1209. Mint of Canterbury, moneyer Roberd.

LIN-15D2E2: STUD
An incomplete copper alloy stud, possibly a furniture or box fitting of Roman date. The fitting has a solid globular head set on a flat, square plate. The perimeter of the plate is damaged. An incomplete, integral, stud extends from the centre on the reverse. The terminal of this is covered with iron corrosion.

LIN-FE2C38: FINGER RING
Treasure reference number 2016 T224: a gold band or finger ring of uncertain age. The band is circular in plan and in section, though the overall shape is now slightly distorted. There are no areas displaying greater wear than the rest. The band has a smooth surface, which has an almost waxy appearance, interspersed with small, irregular areas of pitting. The gold is mid-yellow in colour and in good condition overall. It is undecorated and bears no hallmarks. Similar items tentatively described as Roman finger-rings are recorded on the PAS database (e.g. NMS-449552 (2010 T21), KENT-F5CAD4 (2004 T179), and LIN-D2BC94 (2004 T365)).

LIN-FC5E13: MOUNT
A copper-alloy looped fitting, perhaps from a vessel and probably of late early-medieval date. The fitting takes the form of a three-dimensional bird, looking back over itself. It has a head with slender beak and large pointed oval eyes. It has a long neck with a large crest or lappet running down the back, which expands to the base of the neck. Its body resembles that of a bird; it is shown sitting, and is flattish in cross-section with a concave reverse. The body tapers to the rear, and then expands to a triangular tail with a straight end. A copper-alloy rivet is located in the middle of the tail. Traces of swirls and lines, evident in dark green patina, decorate the snout and the body. These probably indicate the remains of silvering perhaps used to emphasis markings on the animal's body. The sides of the body taper to form a circular loop on the underside. Length: 26.2mm, Height: 24.9mm, Width: 11.7mm, Weight: 7.72g. External diameter of loop 11.7mm. The rearward-looking crested bird and the rivet hole in the tail on the present example can both be compared with BH-6682F5 and NMS-19DC77, which are have well-preserved characteristic late early-medieval engraving in the Ringerike style. Other looped fittings with birds are recorded on the PAS database but are thought to be Roman, such as ESS-7E7CB5, LIN-F1A832, LVPL-52D258, LIN-9FF138 and LIN-54A031.

LIN-C079D1: STUD
An incomplete copper alloy stud, possibly a furniture or box fitting of Roman date. The fitting has a solid globular head set on a flat, square plate. The perimeter of the plate is damaged. An incomplete, integral, stud extends from the centre on the reverse. The terminal of this is covered with iron corrosion.

LIN-ACBABD: VESSEL
A fragment from a copper alloy vessel, probably a cooking pot or cauldron of Medieval or Post-Medieval date, AD 1200 - 1600. The fragment is from the vessel wall. It is slightly curved, and has a moulded rib running across the face. The exterior has patches of soot. Medieval pot legs and metal vessels of this type are illustrated in Egan, G. 1998. The Medieval Household. Daily Living c.1150-c.1450, page.164, figure. 132, number 460. Egan comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. Compare also Bailey,G. 1997, Detector Finds 3, page 36, numbers 6 and 10.

LIN-ACA8A5: COIN
A medieval silver cut halfpenny, probably of John (1199-1216). The coin is worn and few defining details are visible. The moneyer is RI[CARD] but the mint is missing.

LIN-A9E4DD: BROOCH
A Roman copper-alloy sprung dolphin brooch, dating circa AD 75-150. The wings are semi-cylindrical in section and the one surviving terminal is decorated with a diagonal line running from the top side to the middle of the break. The spring and pin are missing. The bow is comma shaped in profile and D-shaped in section, tapering to the foot. The catchplate is partially intact.

LIN-A9C89D: COIN
A silver love token made from a sixpence of William III. Only a feint outline of the shields on the reverse is visible. The coin has been bent into a S-shape. Diameter 20mm.

LIN-A991E7: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A worn fragment of a lead steelyard weight, probably of Roman date. The fragment is now rectangular in section, and trapezoid in plan. It has the remains of an iron loop. This loop was cast into the body of the weight, and remains of the shank are now visible at the top. The mass of the object is 64.73g.

LIN-A987E8: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A worn and incomplete biconical lead steelyard weight, probably of Roman date. It has the remains of an iron loop. This loop was cast into the body of the weight, and remains of the shank are now visible at the top. One side of the weight has been made flat, which going by the series of patinated knife marks visible around this area, may indicate that it was cut down to a specific mass. The mass of the object is 127.10g.

LIN-A9717F: COIN
A fragment of a late Roman copper-alloy nummus. VRBS ROMA commemorative type depicting Romulus and Remus and the She-wolf. Struck circa 330-7. Illegible mint.

LIN-A967AB: COIN
A fragment of a late Roman copper-alloy nummus. VRBS ROMA commemorative type depicting Romulus and Remus and the She-wolf. Struck circa 330-7. Illegible mint.

LIN-A95FB4: COIN
A fragment of a late Roman copper-alloy nummus. Only the obverse is legible, and this depicts an unclear bust right. Struck circa 330-402.

LIN-A94F30: BRACELET
Fragment of a possible Roman bracelet. The item is elongated, flat, and broken at both ends. The strip tapers gently from end to end, from 6mm wide to 4mm wide. One end has a transverse groove running the width of the strip. The area between this and the break has a white coloured patina, and possible further decoration beneath it.

LIN-A93096: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate, probably of medieval date. The plate is rectangular and has one copper-alloy rivet surviving in one corner. The adjacent corner is damaged. No decoration is visible, and the entire perimeter is abraded.

LIN-A8C8C9: COIN
A medieval silver cut penny of John (1199-1216) or Henry III (1216-1272), short cross class 6a2-6c3 (probably), dating c.1209-17; mint: London, moneyer: Abel. Ref: North 1994: 221-2; Wren 1992. Obverse: forward facing crowned head or bust, with sceptre. The obverse legend starts at 11 o'clock and reads hENRICVS REX. The reverse shows a voided short cross with quatrefoil in each angle. Reverse legend reads [A]BEL.ON.LVNDE. Weight is1.42g, diameter is 18.42mm. The moneyer Abel is listed as a London moneyer for classes 5c-7a, the style of lettering, especially the 'X' in REX and the presence of pellets either side of the reverse 'ON' indicate this can probably be narrowed to classes 6a2-6c3 (excepting 6c2 with its more ornamental lettering styles).

LIN-83392C: COIN
A Roman silver denarius of Mark Antony. 'Legionary coinage' type, commemorating Legio XIII. Probably struck in Patrae, circa 32-31BC.

LIN-824EF9: SPATULA
A Romano-British copper-alloy spatula handle in the form of the helmeted head and bust of Minerva. The figure wears a Corinthian helmet with diagonally-cut notches on the crest. An integral loop, which has its opening facing forwards, extends from the tip of the helmet. A band of vertical notches emerges from the base of the helmet, presumably representing hair. The facial features are worn, and only an angular nose and straight lips can be discerned from the photograph. At the front the tunic has a deep V-shaped neckline. Two transverse ribs separate the bust from a triangular, flared, bifurcated base, into which the the iron handle would have been inserted. The front of the base is decorated with a pellet-in-ring motif. A series of notches decorate either side of the base. Over twenty examples of such figural spatula handles have been recorded on this database to date, many of these have been discussed by Worrell (2008, 356-357). Their style varies, as do those illustrated by Feugere (1985), attributable to different workshops copying the overall prototype. Feugere, M, 1995, Les spatules a cire a manche figure, Worrell, S, 2003, More Minerva bust wax spatula handles(in) Lucerna Roman Finds Group Newsletter, vol 25. Crummy, N, 2002, Wax spatula handle from Yorkshire, (in) Lucerna Roman Finds Group Newsletter, vol 23.

LIN-8225B9: SPINDLE WHORL
Two medieval lead spindle whorls. The upper whorl in the photograph is biconical and has a large circular hole through the centre. One side is decorated with a zig-zag line with a heart-shaped motif in each of the outer angles. No photograph of the other side was given. The lower whorl in the photograph is very worn, but appears to be decorated with a zig-zag line set within a narrow border. The whorl appears to be miscast or damaged.

LIN-821065: SPINDLE WHORL
A medieval lead spindle whorl. The whorl is biconical and has a large circular hole through the centre. One side is decorated with a series of swirls with two pellets between each line. This decoration creates the impression that it is turning anti-clockwise. No photograph of the other side was given.

LIN-81DE38: TOY
A late medieval or post-medieval copper-alloy toy in the form of a cauldron. The cauldron has an everted circular rim, paired opposed curved handles. The body narrows at the shoulder and flares to a flat base. Three legs of triangular section flare from the base. Each leg has a ridge running down the front, leading to an out-turned foot. This toy is of Forsyth and Egan Type 1. Examples reported from London and elsewhere are dated to between the 15th and 16th centuries with an earlier date admitted for some other examples (Forsyth. H. and Egan, G. 2005, Toys, Trifles and Trinkets Base-Metal Miniatures from London, Unicorn Press, London, ISBN: 0 906 290 74 0, nos 2.5-2.11, pages 111-115). Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1400-1600.

LIN-81BCF5: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman gilt copper-alloy oval plate brooch dating to the period AD200-350. The brooch is of Hattatt's gilded glass 'centre-boss' type, missing the pin and spring mechanism. The brooch is oval in plan and has a raised oval collar in the centre which would have once contained a setting. A pair of rope-like mouldings decorate the flat panel surrounding the collar. Between the pair is a series of concentric circles. A raised rim runs around the perimeter. The surface has been gilded. Plate brooches usually date to the second and third centuries, while 'glass centre boss' types are thought to be slightly later, to the third if not the fourth century (Bayley & Butcher, 2004, p.178).

LIN-81A214: AXEHEAD
Fragment of an early to middle Bronze Age copper-alloy axehead. Only the blade-end survives. The edge is crescent-shaped, but has worn in a somewhat irregular fashion. The sides curve inwards from the blade-edge, flaring in section to a rectangle. The break across the body is irregular. The surface of the axe is dark green in patina and pitted in areas.

LIN-7E1F43: BUCKLE
An Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy buckle and plate. The plate is sub-triangular in plan and is formed of three lobes connected by a tapering body. Two of the lobes are located adjacent to one another near the pin, and the other is located at the terminal. Each lobe is decorated with a pellet-in-ring motif; the rest of the plate is undecorated. A narrow rectangular bar with triangular projection at either side is located between the two lobes and the frame. The frame is D-shaped in plan and has a pin attached to it. A small knop is located on the top of the pin. Three incomplete loops are located on the underside of the plate. The location of each one corresponds to the pellet-in-ring motif on the other side. The frame appears to be cast integrally with the plate, but this detail will be confirmed when the object is seen by the FLO (currently the record is based on images supplied by the finder). This buckle is a variant of Marzinzic's Type II.23.

LIN-6E9CAE: BROOCH
Treasure reference number 2016 T197. Description: A medieval silver annular brooch. The frame is circular in plan, and rectangular in section. The frame carries an inscription which reads INLTMVNITAL. This is possibly a blunder of AMOR VINCIT OMNIA (Love conquers all). The frame has a narrow restriction for the pin. The pin has a narrow transverse ridge near the loop, and then tapers to the terminal. Discussion: Silver annular brooches with inscriptions were popular in the 13th and 14th centuries, and many examples are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Schemed database (NARC-2B60EA, LEIC-D2FC82). Many bear religious or sentimental mottos (e.g. Egan and Pritchard, 2002, p254, Fig. 164, no. 1337); others, such as the present example, appear to be nonsensical (e.g. BERK-CF6AEB, WAW-D42D94). Reference: Egan, G. and Pritchard, F. 2002. Dress Accessories, c.1150-1450. Medieval Finds from excavations in London. Boydell Press. Conclusion: The item constitutes a prima facie case of treasure by consisting of more than 10% precious metal content, and being of an antiquity greater than 300 years.

LIN-6A4720: AMPULLA
A medieval lead pilgrim's ampulla. The ampulla is of the typical flask shape, originally having a sub-rectangular neck and circular chamber. The neck is missing, but the edge running across the object from shoulder to shoulder is rather neat and may suggest the ampulla was cut in order to release its contents. A small handle survives on either shoulder. One face of the chamber is decorated with a scallop shell motif; the other is worn blank.

LIN-6A10B1: AMPULLA
A medieval lead pilgrim's ampulla. The ampulla is of the typical flask shape, having a sub-rectangular neck and circular chamber. They neck is incomplete; the perimeter is rather neat and also horizontal, which suggests the ampulla may have been cut in order to release its contents. A small handle survives on one shoulder; the other is missing. One face of the chamber is decorated with a hatched circular motif, in the centre of which is a shield. The shield contains two upward pointing chevrons, both of which are also hatched. The other side is decorated with a large circle. In the centre is a smaller circle divided into quarters by a short-cross. Each quarter is hatched.

LIN-19367B: BROOCH

LIN-047423: PERFORATED OBJECT
A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age shafthole implement dating to the period c.2100 - 1500 BC. The axe was originally elongated in plan, tapering from the central shafthole to either end. Only one half of the axe survives, being broken on both sides along its thinnest part either side of the shafthole. The axe is sub-rectangular in section. The surface is smooth, and the butt displays a moderate amount of wear. The stone is mottled green, grey, and orange, and on one face a large patch of iron-coloured deposit is visible. The classification of this item is somewhat problematic. It appears to lack the symmetry to allow it to be defined as a battleaxe, and for this reason it is recorded here simply as a perforated object. The object is probably Early Bronze Age in date. The axe measures 81mm in length, and 54mm in width. It is 36mm deep. The central hole is hour-glass shaped and measures 18mm in the centre, and 28mm at each end.

LIN-EE5C6A: VESSEL
Description A Roman copper-alloy escutcheon or handle-fitting from a bronze basket. The fitting is symmetrical, and is comprised of a pedestal-like moulding in the middle, with an opposing dog or hound-head on either side. The pedestal moulding has a solid oval knop at the top. This knop is decorated with an incised cross at the top, aligned so that it points along the mount towards the dog-heads at either end. The knop sits on a pedestal formed by two outward flared lips. These curve inwards below, and then downwards and outwards to join the dog-heads. A narrow moulded channel runs around the perimeter on both sides. An outward curving sub-oval panel extends below on what would have been the exterior face of the fitting. This panel is decorated with a leaf-motif extending upwards towards the knop. The leaf is pointed-oval and has a slender central stem marked on either side by a deep channel; this stem extends slightly below the base. The perimeter of the leaf on either side is decorated with a series of upward curving shallow channels, each of which terminates with a clearly defined wedge-shaped notch. At the base, the leaf extends to either side following the curves of the panel. On either side of the panel is a short arm connected to the dog-head. This arm is semi-circular in section. Both dog-heads can be described in the same manner. At the top, just beyond the ears, is a semi-circular lug. The perimeter of the lug has a v-shaped channel, and each rim is decorated with a series of incised lines. The interior of the lug is conical and would have secured the handle in place. The interior is worn, being consistent with use. The dog has a slender face resembling a hound. The dog's ears are slender and shown swept back along its head, as if it is running. The top of the head between the ears is formed by a triangular panel, and this contains incised wavey lines representing the hair. Further wavey lines represent the hairline below the ears on either side of the head. A slender channel runs from the top of the head down towards the forehead. The eyes are represented by a deep, elongated triangular hole. Narrow crescent-shaped channels or grooves add further definition around the eyes and forehead. The mouth is slender and the snout is upturned. A horizontal groove runs around the base, indicating that the dog has its mouth closed. The snout of one of the dogs is missing; the break at this point is corroded and pitted. The dog heads are decorated on both sides, but the central panel is undecorated on the side that would have inwards into the basket. The underside of the mount is recessed so that it could be attached to the rim of the basket. Patches of a white-coloured substance survive, probably representing the remains of a solder. The mount has a deep green patina and is in a good condition overall. Dimensions The length of the fitting is 120.13mm. Its depth is 52mm. The width across the dog head is 13.7mm, and the depth from the top of the lug to the base of the head is 19.4mm. The depth from the top of the head to the base is 13.3mm. The dog-head is 34mm in length. The oval panel measures 25mm in width at the base. The fitting weighs 147.91g. Discussion Find spots of this distinctive form of vessel concentrated in the Bay of Naples, though this might be a bias owing to preservation rather than there necessarily being a workshop in the region. Two complete examples exist in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession numbers 1989.281.86, and 1972.118.89; Milleker 1992, 1993). Another was found at Pompeii, and is now in the Naples Archaeological Museum (accession number 109698). While the overall shape remains consistant across the group, the form of animal displayed on their terminals varies. Bird-heads, especially ducks, are commonly seen (e.g. 1972.118.89), as are dogs, and dolphins. More rarely they take the form of satyrs, and goats. This find might be comparable to a handle fitting in the shape of a duck or swan's head, found in the Winchester hoard (Spence, La Niece & Worrell 2004). The handle was dated to the first half of the first century AD. The animal has a large concave 'fan' at the back of its head, very similar in design and decoration to the present example.

LIN-85BF12: HARNESS PENDANT
A medieval horse harness pendant. The pendant is tear-drop shaped, openwork, and has a small loop at the top set at a right angle to the body. The body is pointed oval and has a small triangular opening at the top, and a large sub-oval opening below. Traces of gilding survive on the surface.

LIN-85ACEB: THIMBLE
A post-medieval copper-alloy thimble. It has a closed top and is decorated all over with a clock-wise spiral of hand-drilled dots. The shape is now damaged.

LIN-8595B7: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A lead steelyard weight with iron shank, probably dating to the Roman period. The item is pyramidal on its upper half, and has a rounded base. An incomplete iron pin runs through the centre. The surface is pitted and rough.

LIN-8529C7: STRAP END
A medieval copper-alloy strap-end. It is comprised of two rectangular plates with rounded terminal, riveted together around a central forked spacer. The spacer has a pinched lip.

LIN-8514CD: HOOKED TAG
A post-medieval copper-alloy hooked tag. The body is decorated with an inward turning scroll on either side, with a rectangular loop joining them above. An incomplete hook extends from the base.

LIN-84FDB6: STUD
An incomplete copper-alloy stud Roman date (AD 43-410). The object has a concave oval terminal with a projecting conical turret in the centre. The middle of the turret is hollow, and a deep channel runs around the base of the turret. A narrow collar is located beneath the oval head. A tapering rectangular shank extends from this. It is broken at the far end. A similar example can be seen in Crummy, p.125, no.4143 and others are recorded on the PAS database as YORYM-93A261, LVPL-8A1833, LON-B12BE6, LEIC-E85044 and YORYM-FF4886.

LIN-84C008: BEAD
A complete copper alloy bead or ring, of probable Late Iron Age or Early Roman date. The bead is circular in plan and has a circular cross-section. The interior diamater of the bead is 9mm,while the external is 18.3mm. The surface is pitted probably due to post-depositional damage. The object has a dark green-dark brown patina. The object is possibly a harness fitting, bead or vessel decoration of Late Iron Age to early Roman date. Jackson (1990:49) illustrates similarly complete rings, with Nos. 154,155 and 156 having a similar exterior diameter, but with wider interiors. Suggested date: 100 BC - AD 100

LIN-84ABF1: BUCKLE
A medieval copper-alloy buckle and plate. The frame is rectangular and in each corner is a bulbous, hatched knop. The bar is narrowed. A small grooved lip is located in the centre of the frame. The plate is formed of a single sheet of copper alloy which wraps around the bar. The front of the plate is decorated with a perimeter of punched dots. A further line of punched dots runs down the centre, dividing the plate into two rectangular panels. Each panel contains a row of diagonally placed lines of punched dots, and every other diagonal panel contains the remains of a black surface coating. The plate on the reverse is smaller than the front, and has a rivet hole in both corners.

LIN-8483F3: STRAP FITTING
A worn copper-alloy swivel, probably from a harness dating to the Medieval period (1100-1500). The object consists of a D-shaped loop which has a solid oval base. An incomplete shank of circular section extends from the base. At either side of the loop, where it joins the oval base, the frame is in the form of an abstract animal head. Very similar examples have been recorded onto the database and have been given a Medieval date: LVPL-ADA156, KENT-2AEF49 and SWYOR-3B5E83. Swivel mechanisms such as this were employed for a variety of functions during the Medieval period as strap fittings and as such a specific function cannot be attributed to them.

LIN-844905: CLASP
A medieval copper-alloy clasp. The clasp is rectangular in plan and has a rolled over terminal, which would have wrapped around the frame of the buckle. A rectangular bar mount is attached to the clasp. The bar mount is rectangular in plan and domed in section, and has a rivet at both ends.

LIN-454CEF: BOOK FITTING
A complete Early Post Medieval copper alloy book clasp, dating to circa AD 1500-1700. The clasp is rectangular in plan with parallel sides. At one end the outer edge slightly flares to a serrated edge. Below this outer edge are two rivet holes with the rivets still in situ. The book clasp then extends with parallel sides to a terminal with a flat edge that in the centre has an integral hook that has been folded towards the reverse of the clasp. The front panel is decorated with two incised concentric circles in the centre, surrounding a circular hole. The rectangular panel below the hook is decorated with two rows of incised dashes. Below this, leading into the main body, are a series of incised lines. The area around the serrated edge is decorated with three circular holes in a row, and three pointed leaf motifs extending into the body. Margeson (1993) illustrates a number of book fittings all dating to the Early Post Medieval period. Examples 453 and 454 have been decorated with pierced holes and have serrated edges. Margeson describes how Early Post Medieval book clasps were riveted in position. The hook similar to this example, would have then attached to an 'eye' plate on the cover of the book to keep it closed. The clasp measures 65mm in length, 27 mm in width, 6.32 mm thickness and weighs 4.8g. Margeson: S.

LIN-DC1A59: MINIATURE OBJECT
A late Iron Age or Roman copper-alloy, miniature shield. The shield is an elongated hexagon in plan, and is slightly convex in section. A pointed oval domed boss is located in the centre of the shield. The boss is concave on the reverse. A small hole, roughly oval in plan, is located at one end of the boss. This probably indicates that the shield was riveted to a wooden post or door in antiquity. The surface of the shield is smooth and has a light silver colour, perhaps indicating that the surface was burnished or coated with a white-metal substance.

LIN-DBF92D: MINIATURE OBJECT
A late Iron Age or Roman copper-alloy, miniature shield. The shield is oval in plan, and slightly convex in section. A small domed boss is located in the centre of the shield, and this is surrounded by a narrow, raised circle. The circle and boss are concave on the reverse. A large, irregular hole is located in one quarter of the shield. There is no obvious point around the perimeter of this hole where the break may have originated; rather, it is likely that the damage has expanded around a rivet hole. The surface of the shield is smooth and has a light silver colour, perhaps indicating that the surface was burnished or coated with a white-metal substance.

LIN-C96559: COIN
A late Iron Age silver coin, possibly a fractional unit or contemporary copy struck in the North East. The coin measures 8mm in diameter and is broken at one edge where approximately one fifth of the coin is missing. The coin is dished in plan, and decorated on both sides. The obverse is convex and is decorated with an abstract petal motif. The motif is comprised of a central circle with four oval petals evenly spaced around its perimeter. In the centre of the circle is an inverted 'S'-shaped motif. In each petal is a pellet. A further pellet decorates each angle between the petals. The reverse is concave and is comprised of a boar shown in profile to the right. A series of crescent-shaped bristles rise up along its back. A possible pellet is located below its belly. This coin cannot be paralleled, though the resemblance of the boar to many of the boar-horse units and half-units issued in the North East, in the area attibuted to the Roman civitas of the Corieltavi, suggests it was struck in this region. The flower/petal motif on the obverse of the coin somewhat resembles Hobbs no's 3256 and 3257, but the reverse of these two coins display a horse instead of a boar (Hobbs 1996).. The coin weighs 0.14g.

LIN-4873AB: COIN
A medieval silver farthing of Edward I (1272-1307). North (1991) Class 5. Mint of London, struck AD1289-91.

LIN-481267: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A fragment of sheet copper-alloy, probably medieval in date. The fragment is now roughly square, but there are no original edges surviving. A fracture extends from the edge to the centre. The front of the object has a geometric design comprising two semi-circles. Both are represented by three incised lines. A single curved line extends above. The reverse is undecorated and has evidence of a white metal coating.

LIN-2182A1: MOUNT
A post-medieval copper alloy mount or strap-fitting. It is flat and in the form of a heart with a rounded knop above, Two rearward hooks are located on the reverse. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650. Length: 32mm, Width: 17mm, Thickness: 7mm, Weight: 4.63g.

LIN-217130: WEIGHT
A copper-alloy half-ounce trade weight of post-medieval to modern date, possibly of Queen Anne, dating from 1702 to 1714. The weight is circular and has a raised rim and two incised circles in the centre. It is stamped with a crowned A, and a sword to the right. Another worn motif is seen below.. The weight measures 24 mm in diameter, 4.4 mm thick and weighs 13.27 grams (0.46 ounces). The weight has a green patina.

LIN-2151DB: MOUNT
An incomplete cast copper-alloy mount or strap fitting of Medieval date. The object comprises a rectangular plate or bar that is also rectangular in section. At both ends and at the centre of the bar are square panels with incised cross-hatched decoration on their front faces, the bar between them faceted to produce a triangular cross-section. At one end of the bar is an integrally cast terminal that has a narrow neck followed by a slightly flaring collar and hemispherical terminal with pointed knop. This terminal has a central circular rivet hole containing a copper-alloy rivet. A second rivet hole is located on the square panel at the opposite end of the bar. The opposite end of the bar has an integrally cast rearward hook. The back face of the object is flat and undecorated. This is a cast copper-alloy bar mount of Medieval date, perhaps serving as a belt fitting (e.g. Read, 2008: no. 779) or a mount on a box or similar item (Egan, 1998: nos. 139, 149). It is of Medieval date, c.1200-1500 AD. It is also similar to SF-79CDD6.

LIN-2137C6: COIN

LIN-B8068D: STRAP END
A medieval copper-alloy composite strap-end. The strap-end is formed by a forked spacer with a rounded nib, with a flat rectangular plate on either side.A rivet hole is located at the attachment end. Part of the plate is broken exposing textile beneath it.

LIN-B7F779: SPINDLE WHORL
A medieval lead spindle whorl. The whorl is biconical and has a hole of 9.45mm diameter in the centre. One face is decorated with a series of moulded transverse lines. The other is decorated with two bands of moulded pellets.

LIN-B79DF8: HARNESS PENDANT
A medieval enamlled copper-alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is sexfoil in plan, having six rounded lobes. From the uppermost lobe extends an integral loop. The pendant is flat, and the face is decorated with a large circular cell containing blue enamel. This contains three stems, each with a bulbous head, presumably representing flowers. These motifs are set with a dark, degraded enamel, possibly once green.

LIN-B77E79: LINKED PIN
An Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy pin-head from a linked-pin set dating to the eighth century. The head is incomplete, but originally was oval in plan, and flat. THe head is decorated with four sub-oval cells, one in each quarter. Each cell contains a quadruped or 'dragon' in profile to the left, with head looking backwards and biting its tail. In the centre of the head the area is damaged and now concave, but appears to have carried some sort of decoration too. The corresponding area on the reverse is domed and irregular. No evidence of the pin-shaft is visible, though parts of the perimeter are still missing or damaged. Two rivet holes are visible along one of the undecorated arms leading out from the centre of the head. The uppermost hole still retains its rivet. The surface is worn and has a deep-green patina. Sets of two or three linked pins were fashionable in the late eighth century. The most spectacular example is the linked triple pin set from the river Witham, in Lincolnshire (see L. Webster and J Backhouse The Making of England, London 1991, no. 184), but plainer pieces are also well known.

A Roman copper-alloy dupondius of Claudius (41-54). CERES AVGVSTA reverse type depicting Ceres enthroned left, holding corn-ears and torch. Struck Rome AD41-2. Possibly a contemporary copy. For type, cf. RIC I (revised edition), p. 127, no. 94. Diameter 28mm, weight 10.40g. 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 from the Lyon I, à la Grosse Tête, mint.

LIN-B98F1C: KNIFE
A Neolithic or Bronze Age flint knife. The knife is roughly an elongated pointed oval in plan, and plano-convex in section. The proximal end has a flat striking platform and bulb of percussion on the ventral surface. The is one large flake scar running the length of the dorsal surface. Long, parallel, low-angle retouch is present along both edges. The flint is mottled brown.

LIN-B96051: KNIFE
A Neolithic or Bronze Age flint knife. The knife is triangular in plan, and plano-convex in section. A small faceted striking platform is visible near the centre along the 'flat' proximal edge. A bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface. A small patch of cortex is visible to one corner of the proximal end. Short, abrupt, scaled retouch is visible along both edges.

LIN-B94E8A: KNIFE
A Neolithic or Bronze Age flint knife. The knife is triangular in plan, and plano-convex in section. The flat striking platform is at the apex; a bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface and also on the dorsal surface. The opposite end terminates with a hinge fracture. Long, scalar, low-angle retouch is visible along both sides. The flint is mottled brown.

LIN-B92037: SCRAPER (TOOL)

On the obverse are three annulets containing quatrefoils with three fleurs-de-lys between. The inscription is illegible. The reverse depicts a cross potent with a flower in each angle. The inscription is illegible. Similar examples can be found in Mitchiner (1988, 242-245), and also WILT-D2CF2E. Reference: Mitchiner, M. 1988. The Medieval Period and Nuremberg Volume One.London: Seaby Ltd.

LIN-7DA1C2: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval copper-alloy seal matrix. The seal has a hexagonally faceted stem with a trefoil-shaped handle. The face of the seal is circular and depicts clasped hands. The inscription surrounding it reads +LEL AMI AVET (You have a loyal friend).

LIN-424C19: FINGER RING
An incomplete Roman silver finger ring dating to the period c. AD 100-300, of Henig Type VIII. The ring comprises the bezel and the shoulders, but is missing most of the band. The raised bezel is oval in plan and exhibits one single central pellet. The shoulders are sub-triangular in plan and exhibit a line of stamped circular pellets running parallel to each outer edge. These join in the centre so that they form a lozenge. Each shoulder narrows to the band, which is oval in cross section and begins to curve before terminating in worn breaks. The reverse appears to have a second sheet of silver attached to the main body. The join between the two sheets is delineated and an aperture is present between them where the bezel is raised and the second sheet is not. The finger ring is worn in places. It has a silver patina on the surface, with areas of grey-black. Small areas with a green patina are present on the reverse. It is possible that this finger ring is inscribed with the letters 'ToT'. In the centre of the bezel is a worn dot, surrounded by a worn incised circle. This form of decoration is sometimes seen on the central letter 'O' on the series of so-called TOT rings (Daubney 2010). If this is the case then the 'T's to either side are too worn to discern. The letters 'ToT' are an abbreviation of the name of the celtic god Totatis (Daubney 2010, p. 109). 'ToT' rings are well known in the East Midlands, especially in Lincolnshire, and a number have been declared treasure such as LIN-A50AD8, LIN-DF32B4, LIN-B2E964, LIN-BOB9D4 and SWYOR-44888C amongst others on the PAS database. This object constitutes aprima faciecase of treasure by consisting of more than 10% precious metal content in that it is silver, and is of an antiquity greater than 300 years.Treasure reference no. 2015 T997.

LIN-EDE5A0: COIN
A late Roman copper-alloy radiate of Gallienus. DIANAE COMS AVG reverse type depicting an Antelope walking right. Struck AD260-268. Cunetio no.1401.

LIN-C6AFB3: STATUE
A cast copper-alloy finger from a slightly larger-than-life-sized Roman statue. The finger is extended in such a way as to suggest it was making a gesture. The finger is hollow-cast and has a smooth mid-green surface with patches of coarser surface displaying lighter green corrosion. The detail of the finger nail is cast and apparently finished by incising in order to further define its shape. At the other end the finger expands into the hand. The perimeter of the break is irregular and suggest that it has been torn or broken off rather than having been dismantled using a chisel. The interior of the digit is rough and has a much lighter patina. The interior suggests that the finger itself was cast separately from the hand; inside the object is a clear circular rim suggesting that the finger slotted into the hand and was then hammered clean on the surface to conceal the join. The style of casting is consistent with a date in the late first or early second century AD. The find comes from an area of known Roman archaeological interest to the north-west of the colonia. The significance of the find spot is unclear at present, however, especially with regard to whether it the statue was originally placed in the vicinity, or whether the item was transported there for recycling in antiquity, or perhaps even in more recent times via other processes. Length: 115mm,Width: 45mm,Thickness: 42mm. XRF analysis of the object was undertaken by Kate Libby at the University of Sheffield. Nine readings were taken, and the average is as follows: Sb Sn Ag Zr Bi Pb Zn Cu Fe 0.383 28.133 0.11 0.031 0.169 45.995 0.207 22.542 2.403 Reference Coombe, P., Pearce, J., & Libby, K. (n.d.).

LIN-5A50EB: COIN
A late Roman copper-alloy nummus of Constantine I. SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse type depicting Sol standing right. Mint of Trier. RIC VII, no. 135. Struck AD317. Diameter 19mm. Weight 1.95g.

LIN-5A3CCE: SHOT
Three lead musket balls and ten flattened 'discs', presumably respresenting impacted balls. The diameters and masses of the complete balls are as follows:17mm, 29.89g; 11mm 7.10g; 11mm. 7.13g. One of the two smaller balls has a sprue and casting seam visible, while the other only has the casting seam visible. The larger has neither of these features visible. Each of the ten flattened discs has a splayed perimeter. This suggests that the musket ball hit something hard and flattened on impact.These range in diameter between 21mm to 34mm. Their masses are as follows: 6.09g, 6.73g, 5.21g, 8.27g, 3.78, 12.50g, 12.29g, 11.71g, 11.88g, 19.64g. The mass of these ball suggest they would have been used in a musket (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study. UPDATE 22.01.2016: Eight further impacted shot, three musket balls, and one plano-convex bullet have been found in the same place as the objects lister further above. They are, accordingly, added to this record, being part of the same assemblage.

LIN-5A29B2: CLOTH SEAL
A post-medieval lead-alloy cloth seal. The seal comprises two sub-circular discs and a folded connecting strip. One disc bears the relief-stamped legend 'AG/LSS/BA', with traces of a border around. This is a seal of the Norwich Weavers' Company, struck between c. 1650 and 1705. The letters on the reverse are probably those of the wardens of the company (see Egan 1995: 46).

LIN-5A23FE: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified lead object with openwork body. The object is comprised of four outward convex strands of lead which join around a small circular opening at both the top and the bottom. The item is probably post-medieval, and may be a component of a toy.

LIN-5A1B7D: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
An incomplete post-medieval copper-alloy dress hook. It has a lozenge-shaped body. The top terminates with a loop, while the side angles both terminate with floral motifs. The bottom extends into an incomplete hook. A loop is situated to either side of the hook. The face of the mount is decorated with a symmetrical floral motif comprising a bud in the centre and leaves extending from it.

LIN-A410A3: DRESS HOOK
2015 T801: a Post Medieval silver-gilt dress hook, dating from the 16th century. The back plate is trefoil with a notched edge. There is a hollow domed boss soldered to the front of each lobe. These are decorated with three filigree circles on each. Some of the decoration is missing. In the centre of the plate is a circular flower, formed by a dome surrounded by five petals. On the reverse of the upper two lobes is an incomplete rectangular attachment loop. On the reverse and soldered centrally to the lower lobe is a separate hook. Unlike most dress hooks, which have curved hooks, the shaft is straight. This might suggest that the item was used as a pin. Read classifies this as Early Post Medieval Class D, type 6 (Read 2008, p.75-81). Similar example scan be found on the PAS database: SWYOR-AEEA51 ( 2013 T177), SF5706, SUR-B5E091 (2012 T818) and BERK-FB37C4 (2004 T283).

LIN-54B99D: SPINDLE WHORL
A bone spindle whorl. The whorl has a flat base and a domed top. The hole has an hour glass profile. The spindle whorl has been made from a femural or humeral head (the ball joint of an upper limb bone) from an animal. The dome shape is the natural shape of the bone. Probably Medieval.

LIN-54AAAD: SEAL MATRIX
A copper-alloy seal matrix of Late Medieval date. The matrix is circular with a hexagonally faceted stem with a trefoil terminal. The face is engraved with a crowned letter 'R' flanked by a pair of feathers. John Cherry (pers. comm.) has identified this as a seal for marking the payment of a subsidy on cloth. Cherry believes that the form and condition of the piece point towards a late 14th to early 15th century date, with the crowned 'R' relating to the reigning monarch (presumably Richard II or III). Parallels for this piece include two seal matrices found in London, which bore the legends 'S':SVBSIDII PANNORVM', meaning 'Seal for the subsidy (tax) on cloths', and had central designs in the form of a crowned bust (Egan 1995: 21 - 22, nos. 1 and 2). Other subsidy seal matrices on the PAS database include BUC-C91E47 (again with crowned R), HESH-F166B5 (with three feathers), YORYM-EFCDF3 (from the County of Essex) and probably SOMDOR-0AD253 (from the County of Dorset). Egan includes six from the BM collections (1995, nos. 1, 46. 56, 44, 104 and 45). It seems also possible that the initial R refers to an individual subsidy collector or alnager. Richard More, the alnager (quality control official and subsidy collector) for 13 counties in the south and west of England in the late 14th century, was known to hold 135 matrices (Egan 1995, 9). There are several similar seal matrices with crowned initials on the PAS database, including PUBLIC-9F4956 and BH-B88C14 (letter R), BERK-AF0CF8, SF-312B13, BH-FB3156, NARC-F3B86C and SUR-290896 (all letter I), NMS-224A6B (letter N), SF-FFC757 and NMGW-647243 (letter W), NMS-1D5176, SUSS-A78AD6, IOW-DC4366 and BH-3F6E71 (all letter T). They appear to date from the 14th to 15th centuries. Finger-rings are also known with similar designs and these appear to date from the 15th century.

LIN-540C0C: SCABBARD
An incomplete Anglo-Saxon copper alloy sword pyramid. The mount has a flat circular base with two D-shaped holes extending into the body of the mount. Four panels rise from the circular base and these taper to form a roughly pyramidal mount. Traces of gilding survive on all panels, but no other detail is visible. The apex is damaged and now open. These mounts date from the late sixth and seventh centuries and initially were small and squat, becoming taller with more varied base shapes during this century. The function of pyramidal mounts is still uncertain, but it seems likely that they were used to help secure the sword in the scabbard, by means of a strap running through the transverse bar on the base of the mount. They were most commonly manufactured in copper alloy and to a lesser extent silver, but occasionally also in gold: two were famously found in Sutton Hoo Mound 1, but despite this they are relatively uncommon grave finds. Instead they are much more common as stray finds, suggesting that they were easily subject to damage and loss. Over 60 have now been recorded on the PAS database and/or reported as treasure, adding considerably to Menghin's (1983, 363-5, Karte 22) original corpus.

LIN-53FD3C: BUCKLE
An incomplete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) cast copper-alloy buckle pin (c. 575-c. 625). The pin loop is missing. This pin is a 'shield-on-tongue' type. The integral plate over the pin is oval.

LIN-536160: BROOCH
A possible fragment of an early Roman brooch, such as a Rosette brooch. The brooch has a damaged top, but a clear transervse channel runs across it, perhaps indicating a spring chamber. A sub-circular panel extends from the front, and this is decorated with opposing crescents filled with traces of red enamel. The brooch is broken after this.

LIN-53548D: BROOCH
A near complete early Roman Hod Hill brooch. The brooch is made of copper alloy and has been tinned all over. The headplate is damaged and now rolled over onto the reverse. The body is decorated with a central vertical rib, with a deep channel flanking either side, followed by a vertical rib on either side. These two ribs are ladder-like, having a tight sequence of tranverse bars. A deep chanel and rib follows on either side. A rounded lug is located extending from both edges of the body. A narrow concave waist is located below the body, and a tapering foot extends from this.

LIN-534300: STRAP END

LIN-531FDA: TOY
A lead alloy object, probably a fragment of Post-Medieval toy, or maybe part of a pilgrim or secular badge. The object is flat, thin and sub triangular and all edges appear to be broken. One perimeter is decorated with a band of moulded lines. A thick ridge runs transversly around this, and continues up one of the other sides. An additional line runs vertically from the centre. The reverse is undecorated and has no areas of interest. It is possibly part of a lead lady doll or other Post Medieval toy similar to LIN-AD9DD4 or DUR-379244, but seems too small to have been the whole skirt. These toys were often made from lead alloy and were flat and thin. It could also be part of a badge, but not enough of the original shape survives to tell which.

LIN-3BA031: MOUNT
A cast lead mount probably dating from the Late Medieval period. The cast piece takes the form of a stylised star with six radiating, wavy rays. These rays are of triangular section, tapering towards their distal ends. A suboval perforation is located just off-centre. No traces of gilding survive on the upper surface, but this is a feature often seen on similar objects (for example, BH-001481). Diameter: 44mm; thickness: 4mm. Weight: 19.80g. Similar lead stars, often gilded, are known from the sites of palaces and other high-status buildings. They are thought to have been ceiling decorations, as used in the famous 'Star Chamber'. One is known from a context of 1500-1550 in London (Egan 2005, 69-70, no. 309) but they were probably used for at least a century before this, as the 'Star Chamber' is first referred to 1398.

LIN-3B81BA: KNIFE
An incomplete iron knife, probably of post-medieval to modern date. The incomplete handle is triangular in section, haveing a flat back and tapering sides. The blade is of a similar section. The tip curves gently up to the flat back.

LIN-3B7573: SPOON
A fragment of a cast copper alloy spoon of Post-Medieval date, (AD 1500-1700). The object consists of the top of the spoon known as a seal-knop. This spoon can be classified as a 'Baluster seal' type (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Version 1.1). The knop is circular in section throughout its length. It has a flat circular disc (seal) as the terminal which is plain on its upper face. Beneath the disc is a collar followed by two baluster style mouldings. The object terminates with a break. The remainder of the handle and the bowl of the spoon has broken away and is missing. Homer, in Five Centuries of Base Metal Spoons (1975), categorises this type of spoon as seal top, baluster type. A similar example can be found in Egan (2005), p116. SOM-1E18D6 is a similar example and naotes that: "This type of spoon knop was common from the mid-16th to the mid-17th century. Moore (1999, 5) attributes their contemporary popularity to the fact that the owner's and donor's initials could be pricked or engraved onto the disc. Moore (1999, 5) also highlights the fact that such knops were cast separately and then soldered to the handle."

LIN-3B5399: STIRRUP
A late Saxon copper alloy stirrup strap mount of Williams Class B, no Type. It is a rectangular openwork mount with a rearward lip at the base. This lip contains two corroded iron rivets. The main body of the mount depicts a left facing beast with front leg raised and tail curled over its back. The part of the frame that depicted the tail is now missing, but it can be reconstructed using the almost identical example in Williams (1997), p. 106, fig. 65.12. The rear end of the beast is decorated with a series of vertical grooves. The mount has a red-brown patina. The example mentioned above was found in Jutland, while another parallel comes from Lund. These indicate that the present example is an import. The Lund example was found in a pit dated by dendrochronology to 1060-70.

LIN-39AA51: CLOTH SEAL
A lead alloy cloth seal of Rotterdam in The Netherlands, probably dating from the 16th century. The front of the disc has a worn shield. The shield contains the coat of arms of the city, a shield bearing: a pale; on a chief quarterly, four lions passant (arms of Rotterdam: Vert a pale Argent; on a chief Or quarterly four lions passant 1 & 4 Sable 2 & 3 Gules). There are groups of three pellets above, below, and to the sides of the shield ( top and right remaining). Around the shield, outside of a pelleted circle is the inscription RO[TTERDAM]. The reverse of the disc is damaged, but a letter, perhaps P, is seen in the centre. This is enclosed within a circular border. A 'sun' initial mark is also located at 12 o'clock above the border. This motif comprises a central pellet with five smaller ones surrounding it. A larger pellet is located to the right, and an inscription follows, reading SI[ ]. The connecting stub of lead is still intact. For similar seals see SOM-51D050 and SF-E14CD1.

LIN-397598: CLOTH SEAL
A lead alloy cloth seal probably dating from the 16th century. The front of the disc has a raised design consisting of a crowned Lombardic letter H flanked on the left by a sprig of foliage, or perhaps a saltire. All of this is contained within a beaded circle. On the reverse is the remains of the other disc. Compare NLM-3BF1C1 and IOW-4A5FC1 as well as LIN-A05668 which has the legend HENRICVS REX surrounding the design surviving. The Lincolnshire record notes that: "The legend probably refers to Henry VII because of the probably open (non-imperial) crown (or possibly Henry VI). The crown is somewhat worn but if it was arched it which would make the seal late Henry VII or Henry VIII. It is probably an alnage seal, though it could be a customs one (also presumably for a cloth)."

A possible post-medieval lead cock-shy, or lid from a box such as a tobacco box. The object is in the form of cockerel, cast in three dimensions. It has a plump body and expansive tail feathers. The rest of the object is worn, but the wings are discernable. The cockerel stands on an incomplete oval base. Shy-cocks may have derived from the Shrove Tuesday pursuit of casting stones or cudgels at a live cockerel which was either tied down or buried up to its neck in the ground (Forsyth & Egan 2005: 239).

LIN-1281B1: FINGER RING
Treasure case no. 2015 T653. A gold finger-ring of 16th century date. The ring has a raised circular bezel with a beaded or serrated edge, perhaps imitative of a flower head. The bezel contains a domed setting of translucent purple colour. The base of the bezel is conical and sits directly onto the hoop. Joining the bezel to the hoop on either side is an ornate outward curling scroll. The hoop is circular in plan and D-shaped in section. On both shoulders, next to the scroll, is a square panel in the form of a flower-head. Each petal is sub-triangular, and a small pellet is located in the centre. The entire face of the hoop is decorated with a row of lozenges cut into the surface. These recesses contain traces of black enamel. The ring is in excellent condition. The length of the ring from top of the bezel to the base of the hoop is 21.45mm. The diameter of the hoop is 17.46mm. The diameter of the bezel is 7.75mm. The width of the hoop is 3.51mm and its thickness is 1.30mm. The weight is 3.34g.

The bar rests on the lip of the shoe; corroded iron rivets are visible to other side - perhaps originally five on each side. The dating of this shoe is uncertain. Medieval examples are known (Clark, J., 1995. The Medieval Horse and its Equipment c.1150 - c.1450 (London : HMSO), 81, 86, fig 59d and 64a); as are post-medieval and modern examples (Dollar and Wheatley, 1898: 381, fig 354).

A copper-alloy repair patch or folded 'paperclip' rivet from a post medieval vessel. It has an uneven rectangular outline, folded down from a lozenge-shaped copper sheet,. This repair was used to fill small splits in copper alloy vessels, secured by the two triangular tabs. Egan mentions a broad date range for this type of pot mend, dating from the Early Medieval to Post Medieval periods (Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition, page 101) but also suggests that a central period for the use of this type of rivet as dating from about the late 15th to the mid to late 16th Centuries.

It measures 33mm in diameter, 7mm in thickness, and 53.59g in weight. This is a lead trade weight of Post-Medieval date. The initials IR relate either to James I or II, and the two circular punches above may well be indicative of two ounces (Biggs, 1992: p. 44). See also SF-FA1F25 which also bears the crowned IR, but which is around half the mass of the present example, and which also bears only one circular punch mark. It is of c.17th century AD date.

A post Medieval lead casting strip with three spherical shot (musket balls) still attached. The strip is flat and sub-rectangular with three projecting runs, each one of which terminats with a ball. Each ball measures circa 4.5mm in diameter. Once the lead was hardened the balls would have been clipped off and cleaned ready for use (e.g. Courtney 1988, 3; fig. 5). Although usually termed 'musket balls' the shot may have been used with other weapons and therefore the term lead shot is usually preferred. The shot has been dated c.1600-1800 in line with the basic usage period for this type of ammunition.

LIN-10E3D8: LEAF ARROWHEAD
An incomplete Neolithic or Bronze Age flint leaf shaped arrowhead. The arrowhead appears to have been ogival with a pointed base, though the pointed base is now missing. The arrowhead has bifacial retouch that is covering, scaled, and low angled. It is light brown in colour.

LIN-10D4C9: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A Neolithic or Bronze Age flint scraper or knife made on a secondary flake that contains a small patch of cortex on the dorsal surface. The item is roughly triangular in plan, having slightly concave sides. A bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface, but the striking platform is no longer visible, having been worked with short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch in order to blunt the edge. The edge that runs parallel to the bulb of percussion (at the distal end) contains low angled, long, scaled retouch, taken from both sides.

LIN-10AD56: RETOUCHED FLAKE
A possible Neolithic flint retouched flake. The item is made from a tertiary flake, and has some evidence for retouch. The flake is thin, tapering from 4mm at the striking platform to just under 1mm at the distal end. The dorsal surface has one large flake scar running down the centre, with a narrow flake scar to either side. A small, concave, area of possible retouch is visible at the distal end, as is a small area on the left side of the flake. The retouch appears to be low angle, short, and parallel. The flint is light brown in colour.

An incomplete unidentified object. It has a tear-drop shaped body that is domed plano-convex in section and which is broken at the narrow end. A small transverse collar is located above the wider end, and from this the object appears to expand to a collared, flat body. The reverse is undecorated and shows no signs of attachment. Possibly Roman.

LIN-10223D: BULLA
A medieval lead papal bulla of Pope Adrian IV (c. AD 1100 to AD 1159), dating to the period AD 1154 to AD 1159, when he held the papacy. The bulla is circular, flat, and decorated on both sides. The obverse bears an inscription of ADRI/ANVS/PP.IIII, split over three lines. A circular border of pellets surrounds the inscription. The reverse depicts the busts of St Peter and St Paul facing one another. St Paul is depicted on the left of the seal looking right. He has a long pointed beard. St. Peter is on the right, facing left, and has a rounded face with beard and hair formed of pellets. Both faces are contained within beaded borders and separated from one another by a crozier. Across the top of the obverse is an inscription reading SPA SPE (an abbreviation of St Paul and St Peter). A small oval hole runs through the centre of the bulla from top to bottom. The bulla is 38mm wide and 36mm tall, and 5mm thick. It weighs 37.26g. The bulla is notably more worn on the reverse than it is on the obverse. This differential wear pattern might indicate that the side showing the busts of St Peter and St Paul was regularly touched or rubbed, perhaps being used in an amuletic way. The papal bulla is a formal seal of office used by the Popes to stamp and authenticate documents produced by the papal curia. Dr Tim Pestell has commented on other records: "Papal bulls came as two basic types, according to the contents of the document: Tituli, or "Letters of Grace", essentially granted or confirmed rights, conferred benefices or promulgated statutes. They generally had their lead bullae attached with cords of silk. Mandamenta, or "Letters of Justice" were mandates that conveyed papal orders, prohibitions or injunctions, and had their bullae attached by hemp threads".

LIN-A77772: VESSEL
Cast copper alloy zoomorphic or dog-headed spout dating from the late medieval period (c. 15th-16th century). The spout comes from a vessel, either a ewer or a laver. The object is a tubular spout, cast in the form of a dog's head with open mouth and the spout protrudes from the open mouth. It has a downwardly curved, long, pointed neck. The head has a flat-topped nose, prominent brow, and oval ears which protrude slightly above the head. The neck is oval in cross-section. The object has a dark green patina. See J.M. Lewis "Bronze Aquamaniles and Ewers" (1987, Finds Research Group Datasheet 7, pp4-5, fig 8a) for a similar spout on a pedestal-base ewer from Cardiff Castle moat, dated to the 15th century. Mills "Medieval Artefacts" (1999, p.110, NM.292) publishes another similar spout, noting they are from priest's washing bowls (lavers), and dating them to the 15th century.

LIN-AB0BE4: AMPULLA
A medieval lead pilgrims ampulla. The ampulla is in the form of a medieval jug, rather than being in the traditional costrell form. The jug is now squashed, but orignally would have had a wide oval body with a tapered neck. The body and neck are decorated with vertical ribs. A handle extends from the rim to the shoulder on one side only. There is no evidence for there having been a similar handle on the other side. The jug has a flat oval base. The neck on one side appears to have been cut open in order to access the contents.

LIN-AAC0E7: HARNESS PENDANT
A medieval copper alloy horse harness pendant and hanger. The hanger is formed by a simple oval plate with two lugs projecting from the bottom. An integral stud projects from the rear of the oval plate. A pendant is suspended between the two lugs, held by a copper alloy rivet.

LIN-954FB1: BUCKLE
A late medieval copper-alloy buckle, probably from a sword belt. The buckle is rectangular and has an integral central bar. At one end of the bar is a small projecting rectangular loop, in the same plane as the rest of the buckle. Double-loop rectangular buckles of this type are considered to be associated with sword belts. Two are known from a late 14th-century context in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 446 and 457).

LIN-9547F5: BUCKLE
Fragment of a late medieval or post-medieval copper alloy double-oval buckle. It has an integral central bar which extends beyond the frame on both sides. A copper alloy pin survives, but one half of the loop is missing.

Fragment of a late medieval or post-medieval copper alloy vessel leg. The leg is triangular in section and has no surviving original edges. The surface is pitted and covered with patches of soot.

LIN-952F8A: STRAP FITTING
A medieval copper-alloy strap loop. It has a trapezoid frame with a small reel in the centre of the lip. The sides of the frame extend slightly beyond the lip. An inward point prong is located near the strap-bar on either side. For a discussion on these types of strap loops, see Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 231-233; cf. Ibid Fig. 149, no. 1263. c. AD 1150-1400.

LIN-951EB5: THIMBLE
A late medieval or post-medieval copper-alloy thimble. It has a closed top and is decorated with hand drilled dots, possibly in a clock-wise spiral. Part of the base is missing.

LIN-9506E8: PILGRIM BADGE
A possible medieval lead pilgrim badge or post-medieval uniface token. The item is circular, flat, and apparently decorated on one side only. A vertical cross-shaped motif is visible to the centre right, with possibly a figure to the right and another to the left. The reverse is undecorated. There is no casting seam visible on the reverse, and no evidence for there once being a suspension loop.

LIN-5AE836: MEDAL
A coin issued by the British West Africa states. The coin - possibly a penny - has a hole in the centre, and is of a type that circulated in the British colonies of Gambia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and the Gold Coast (Ghana). The coin appears to be made of alluminium - one of several mediums in which such coins were struck. The obverse depicts a six-sided star or hexagram, around which is the legend BRITISH WEST AFRICA 1940. The reverse has been filed clean apart from the Crown, but would have contained the legend EDWARDVS VIII REX ET IND: IMP:, surrounding the legend ONE TENTH OF A PENNY. The legends were filed clean in order to take a stamped text reading C BROWN C/K 66891.

LIN-5AA533: POLISHED AXEHEAD
A Neolithic flint polished axehead. The axe is sub-oval in plan and pointed oval in section; both long edges taper to a point rather than having side facets. The cutting edge is smooth and complete apart from a small notch which has the appearence of recent damage caused by its presence within the plough-zone. The butt is slightly concace both in plan and in section, and is possible a break. The surface of the axe is smooth and highly polished. On both long sides there is evidence of at least one large flake having been removed. A bulb of percussion is seen along both flake scars. That on one side measures circa 44mm x 24mm, while the large (and perhaps multiple) flake scar on the other side measures circa 77mm x 31mm. The axe is mottled mid-brown to yellow in colour, frequent red coloured veins. The axehead measures 145mm in length. At the cutting edge it is 80mm wide, while at the butt it is 49mm wide.

LIN-EBF268: COIN
A late Iron Age gold stater, North Eastern uninscribed 'Ferriby' type attributed to the Corieltavi. Struck circa 40-20BC. Similar to Hobbs, R. (1996) British Iron Age Coins in the British Museum (London: British Museum Press), no. 3155.

LIN-D7B218: COIN
A silver penny of John, Class 4b (1199-1204). This coin is unusual, in that the mint of Canterbury is given as 'I'.

LIN-C7A33C: POLISHED AXEHEAD
A Neolithic polished stone axehead. In plan the axe is sub-oval, tapering from the cutting edge to the butt. In section the axe is oval with flattened sides. The cutting edge is chipped in places, exposing a mid-green interior that looks somewhat similar to polished axes from the Langdale quarry in the Lake District. The surface of the axe is highly polished with occasional red-brown coloured veins. This axe appears to be the same as that recorded on the Lincoln Historic Environment Record as 53105, found in 1980.

LIN-C74C54: COIN
A silver penny of Edward I (1272-1307), Class 7 (1292-1296), mint of London. J.J. North (1991), no. 1032.

LIN-C6D7D6: KNIFE
A late Early Medieval copper alloy ferrule from a knife or staff terminal, probably dating 1000-1100. The ferrule is cylindrical with four pointed projections extending from the rim. One is incomplete, and that opposite it appears to be thicker and longer than the other two that flank it. Quite whether this is due to damage is difficult to say given that this record has been created from photos sent by the finder (record will be updated when object is seen). The exterior is decorated with a moulded geometric design comprising two inverted 'S'-shaped motif running horizontal around the rim. Compare four other examples on the PAS database: LEIC-F826C5, NARC-6D8F97, NMS-6B81F1 (from Walsingham, Norfolk) and HESH-4B4686.

LIN-C5FD2A: PERFORATED OBJECT
A complete stone axe of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 8,300 to 2,500 BC). In plan the axe is an irregular ellipse, having a slightly wider cutting edge than the butt. An hour-glass shaped hole extends through the axe; this hole is off-centred, being located approximately one third in from the butt. In section the axe is oval with flattened sides. Both the butt and the cutting edge are pointed oval in section. Some damage has occured to the cutting edge, exposing a green coloured grain somewhat similar to the greenstone sources at Langdale, Cumbria. The butt is flat. Length: 126mm, Width: 56mm, thickness 31mm. Interior diameter of hole: 16mm

LIN-C5032B: COIN
A late Iron Age gold stater, British 'H' - North East Coast type. As per Hobbs 1996 no. 184.

LIN-C47B07: VESSEL
A possible fragment of an Early Medieval or medieval copper-alloy vessel. The item is rouhgly circular, but is irregularly broken around the entire perimeter. The break roughly works around a circle of raised pellets, measuring 33mm in external diameter. In the centre is a circular panel, measuring 13mm in diameter. This panel appears to have been punched, and depicts an omega symbol surrounded by lettering, somewhat the motif and lettering seen on coins of Aethelred (r.g. North 1996: plate 6, no. 19). The lettering appears to be non-sensical, reading *GEEXBAE?nI. The letters G and E do, however, have angled-backs, somewhat similar to those seen on Edwardian coinage.

LIN-32774B: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A ceramic object showing a panther in relief. The item is oval in plan and pointed over in section. The front depicts a lion or panther walking to the left, with its right hindleg and foreleg extending forward. The beast has a rather elongated head and slender body. The tail extends above and forms a slender 'S-shaped' loop, with the tip of the tail pointing backwards. The background on which impression of the beast is situated is slightly convex, and leads to a narrow flat ledge that is visible around only parts of the perimeter. The reverse is convex but contains a deep oval depression. This is undoubtedly owing to a finger having been pressed into the wet clay; a finger-print is visible within the depression. The ceramic is pale brown/cream in colour with grit and (probably) grog temper. This object might be a clay luting similar to, though smaller than, that from Bush Lane, City of London (Henig, Art of Roman Britain). The present object might also have been a tool used by a metallurgist. Martin Henig comments that it was made by pressing a form, perhaps inteded for repoussee metalwork into clay, and it makes that it was employed like the London examples which produced crucibles and gold residues.

LIN-A19F7A: FINGER RING
Treasure ref. 2015 T281: a post-medieval gold finger ring dating to the 16th century.The bezel is in the form of a four-leaved flowerhead. Each petal is formed by an oval panel with a raised perimeter. Beneath, the bezel is formed of four convex panels. The bezel contains a rectangular setting, presumably clear glass. The setting is cut, having a narrow facet along all sides. The bezel sits on two narrow shoulders, both of which taper to form the hoop. The exterior of the shoulders are decorated with a panel containing criss-cross motifs. For similar examples see Oman (1974, pl.26, a, b and pl.27, b for a broadly similar example with enamel). Similar rings recorded on PAS include NMS-0D2960 and LEIC-2722D2. Dimensions: Height from bottom of hoop to top of bezel = 24mm; diameter of hoop circa 21mm. Hoop (at thinnest) = 1mm x 1.6mm. Bezel = 9 x 6 x 10mm. Weight = 3.58g.

LIN-66FAEE: BROOCH
A cast copper alloy annular brooch of Medieval date, AD 1200 - 1400. The bevelled frame is circular, with a constriction for the pin and six equidistantly spaced, circular collets which appear to flare upwards and outwards from the frame. The collets retain traces of a white substance, probably the setting medium for the stones; only one stone survives, and this is green. It is 23mm in diameter and 6mm thick. It weighs 2.95g. Compare examples illustrated in Egan, 2005, Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition, pages 249 - 251, especially number 1317. Many examples can also be found on the database: see for example references SWYOR-91DBA3 and SF-FE3812 which cites an example from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 58).

LIN-66EF63: BUCKLE
A medieval copper-alloy buckle plate. The plate was originally flat, rectangular, and folded over at the buckle-end to form two arms.The plate has five rivet holes; one in each corner and one in the middle. The two at the buckle-end contain a bulbous-headed copper-alloy rivet. Traces of gilding survive on the plate.

LIN-66E6EE: BUCKLE

LIN-66CC30: COIN
A medieval silver cut halfpenny of John (1199-1216), dating to the period 1204-1209. Moneyer Alisandre, mint Ipswich or Rochester. Class 5b or c.

LIN-66BC65: COIN
A post-medieval silver sixpence of Elizabeth I, dating to the period 1558-1603. The coin is badly damaged and cannot be dated any closer.

LIN-66B0B0: MOUNT
A post-medieval copper alloy sword belt mount. It has a domed, oval body with a small circular knop at one end. This knop has a copper alloy rivet. The other end has an incomplete extension, probably a hook. Another rivet hole is located at this end. This item is probably a damaged version of PUBLIC-F17434. See also IOW-58AB05 and IOW-9A6678 which cites Read (2001) Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, page 30, fig. 25. ref: 362 which is dated to the 17th century.

LIN-66AA72: BUCKLE
A post-medieval copper alloy double-looped buckle. The frame is formed of two D-shaped ovals joined by an integral central bar. The frame is V-shaped in section, with both lips angled upwards. The outer edges of both lips are decorated with a series of triangular lobes.

LIN-66A0D3: KNIFE
A 16th century copper alloy knife stop in the form of two hooves. Both hooves curve outwards, giving the stop a 'V' formation. The base is oval in section and has a slot filled with iron corrosion.

LIN-66994E: MOUNT
An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy lion headed mount, of probable Post Medieval date (1500-1750 AD). The mount is sub oval in plan and cross section.The domed front face is decorated with a modelled lions head surrounded with a flowing mane. The detail of the face and mane have been abraded, but it is possible to identify the eyes, nose and mouth of the lion. The back of the mount has a transverse groove running its width, approximately two thirds of the way down from the top. Iron corrosion - presumably the remains of a stud or wire - fills the centre part of this groove. Several similar mounts have been recorded on the PAS database including HESH-272C18, WAW-5FF592, HAMP-063211, WILT-DA7874 and BERK-A58394. These have all been dated to the Post Medieval period, c. 1500 to 1700 AD, mainly due to being solid, cast out of lead and with an iron attachment wire on the back. The use of wire is similar to that seen in bag seals or possibly seals suspended on wire from pottery or glass vessels. These mounts are often mistaken for Roman Lion Head mounts which tend to be conical hollow cast objects, made from copper alloy.

LIN-6688C3: THIMBLE
A late medieval or early post-medieval closed top thimble. It is decorated with a groove running around the base, and a clock-wise spiral of hand-punched dots.

LIN-64F752: MOUNT
A Roman copper-alloy mount (for example SUR-9A4B76), or possibly the head from a lock-bolt (for example, SUR-AED102). The mount has a concave circular head, from the centre of which projects a small dome. The shank below is narrowed to the waist, and then expands to the base, thus making it vase-shaped in section. A square apeture is located on the base.

LIN-64E535: VESSEL
Base from a Roman greyware vessel. The base is circular and slightly concave. The concave interior is slightly darker than the exterior. The perimeter is of a lighter colour still, and given its irregularity it is likely to be break than indicating that it has been purposefully made into another object. The fabric is grit tempered.

LIN-62B3A4: KEY (LOCKING)
An incomplete cast copper-alloy finger ring key, or 'ring-key', of Roman date. It is missing half of the hoop, but is otherwise complete. The hoop is D-shaped in section with flat inner and rounded outer edge, and has an external diameter of 20mm. To one side is a flattened rectangular bezel from which extends the integral bit. This has an oval sectioned shaft set ata right angle to the hoop and with a hollow tip. The bit itself is rectangular in section, and forms an 'S-shape' with right angled turns. An additional right angled turn extends from the top, and this has a series of five rectangular teeth at its outer edge. The entire object has a very worn dark green patina. It measures20mm in length, 18mm in width, 4mm in thickness at the bit, and 6.85g in weight. This ring finds parallels in examples published by Crummy (1983: nos. 2165, 2169), as well as on the PAS database (e.g. DOR-8FF913, LANCUM-50C0B8), and is of Guiraud Type 5. Keys of this type are associated with small boxes or caskets of personal possessions rather than larger objects such as doors or cupboards, and are dated by Crummy (1983: p. 84) to the 3rd-4th centuries AD.

LIN-5118D0: CHAPE
A post-medieval silver chape dating to the 16th century. The chape is square in section, and tapers from 14mm by 14mm wide at the top, to a rectangular opening of 7mm by 8mm at the base. The top of the chape is crenallated, similar to the turrets of a medieval castle. A thick collar, decorated with diagonal lines giving it a rope-effect, runs around the chape 5mm below the opening. All four sides of the chape above this collar are decorated with a pair of incised upward pointing triangles separated by a vertically incised line. All triangles contain a tight series of diagonal lines. The chape tapers below the collar. Only one panel below the collar is decorated, this being a rectangular panel containing incised foliage. The terminal has an undecorated collar, 4mm thick.

LIN-4FDC39: ARROWHEAD
A fragment of a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age leaf-shaped arrowhead. The head is likely to have been pointed oval, but only the top half survives. It is bifacially worked all over, thin, and has a 'clean' break across the middle. The arrowhead is a light grey colour.

LIN-4FD23F: ARROWHEAD
A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age leaf-shaped arrowhead. The head is pointed oval, though a little over 6mm thick at the base. It is bifacially worked and tapers to a small triangular base, though it is unclear whether this is a striking platform or a broken tang.

LIN-4FA594: PADLOCK
A post-medieval iron 'ball' padlock. The padlock has a spherical body with a large oval loop above. The loop is corroded, but one end has a curved, shallow 'S'-shaped terminal. A tear-drop shaped patch of corrosion in the centre of one side might indicate where the opening for the key originally was. The diameter of the ball is 45mm. The loop is 50mm wide, and 8mm thick. Similar 'ball' padlocks have been found in excavations at Jamestown, USA (Cotter, J. & Hudson, P. 1957 New Discoveries at Jamestown: Site of the First Successful English Settlement in America. Washington D.C.

LIN-4DABAB: KEY (LOCKING)
A probable fragment of a Roman copper-alloy key. The fragment is rectangular in plan and in section, and has three transverse ribs on both sides, somewhat similar in form to the bit of a key, such as NLM-3F8683. One of the long thin sides is smooth and appears to be original. The opposite edge is irregular and probably a break.

LIN-4D9ADA: BROOCH
A Iron Age copper alloy La Tene I brooch, dating to c 400-200 BC. The brooch is nearly complete, although the pin and some of the spring are missing. The brooch has a deeply C-shaped bow which is thicker towards the middle where it is of oval section. The bow thins to either side of the curve; at the top it forms an incomplete coil set around a horizontal bar. At the bottom it curves upwards to form a foot. The foot terminates with an oval swelling. A catchplate extends from the side of the foot, somewhat in the form of a narrow wing. Cf Hattatt, R, 2007, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxbow Books, Oxford p 288, Fig 147, no 220.

LIN-4D80EC: MOUNT

LIN-4D6DD3: BROOCH
An early Roman copper-alloy hinged dolphin brooch. The wings are cylindrical and contain an axis bar for a hinged pin. The pin is missing. The terminal of both wings are decorated with a vertical groove. The faces of both wings are decorated with a diagonal groove, extending from the outer lower corner to the upper inner corner. The bow is comma shaped, triangular in section, and decorated with hatched rib running down the middle, flanked either side by a moulded linear border. A triangular catchplate survives on the reverse.

LIN-4D460D: WEIGHT
A copper alloy weight of post-medieval date circa (1603-1625). The weight is probably part of a larger group of stacking weights, due to it having a wide and relatively thick raised edge on the upper face. The front face is marked with a series of stamps: these include a crowned I, the dagger or sword of the London Guildhall, and the ewer (coffee pot) of the Worshipful Company of Founders. The crowned I dates this weight to the reign of James I (1603-1625). The reverse face has a large number of incised lines across the surface, this is evidence of the weight being manipulated to gain the correct measure. The weight is a dark green to black colour with a fairly even patina. Biggs and Withers (2000: p.59 cat no.225) illustrate a James I lead weight with the crowned I and sword of St Paul that represents London. A similar example can be seen on the database from Rudge, Shropshire (HESH-EBC0E6) It measures 4mm thick, diameter of 37mm and weighs 27.36grams. This is the equivalent to an ounce weight. Biggs, N. and Withers, P. (2000)Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection. Powys, White House Publications.

LIN-4D2E5E: BUCKLE
A worn, thick copper-alloy buckle. It has a D-shaped frame and a narrowed bar. The frame is oval in section, and tapers to the terminals. The terminals are worn, but may once both have been in the form of an animal-head; both have an elongated snout that extends slightly beyond the pin bar. The buckle might date to the 10th-12th century. See also DUR-CF79A3 for a parallel.

LIN-4D12F3: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper-alloy knee brooch. The head is missing. The bow is of a distinctive reversed 'S'-profile; in plan the bow tapers rapidly towards the foot, and flares again slightly at its terminal. The upper part of the bow is decorated with two vertical ridges, with a slightly concave section between them in the middle. The profile of the brooch is similar to T173A in Bayley and Butcher 2004: 180.

LIN-4CED36: SEAL MATRIX
A cast copper-alloy seal matrix of medieval date (14th century AD). The matrix is of circular form, set on a hexagonally faceted stem which terminates with a lis-shaped loop. The die features a central motif surrounded by a impersonal legend. The legend reads '* ALLAS : IE : SV : PRIYS', (translated): 'Alas, I am caught/taken', a common legend (see for example Harvey and McGuiness 1996, 89; ref. 82). The central device depicts a bird taking a rabbit with a talon to the back, craning its neck to envelope the head and attack it with its beak.

LIN-4CDD09: MOUNT
A Roman copper-alloy mount. The mount takes the form of a sub-rectangular plate with outward bowing sides. From the centre of this plate projects an oval-sectioned moulding with a vertical groove dividing in half its convex upper surface. A concavity on the reverse of the mount corresponds with this projection. Also on the reverse are two circular-sectioned, integrally cast rivets with discoidal terminals, one located immediately above the concavity, the other below. Dimensions: 21mm long, 15mm wide, 9mm deep (including rivets). Weight: 4.49g. A parallel for this suggested cavalry harness mount was found in excavations at South Shields Roman fort (Allason-Jones and Miket 1984: 237, no. 3.870), where it was dated to the 2nd or 3rd century AD. Similar examples on the PAS database include BH-1656D7, NMS-690EB4 and YORYM-97F916. Such pieces have been described as 'vulvate' mounts, the implication being that they are possibly fertility symbols representative of female genitalia.

LIN-4CCD04: STRAP END
A medieval copper-alloy strap end. It comprises a rectangular plate with a triangular terminal. A copper-alloy rivet is located at both ends. The back-plate is missing. The surface is undecorated.

Only of the front plate survives; the back plate is missing presumed lost in antiquity. The front-piece is cast and has a scallop-shaped terminal. An extended wedge-shaped knop is present at the base of the chape in the centre. The grooves and ridges which create the effect of the shell radiate out from an openwork trefoil. Immediately above this perforation is a transverse ridge, and above this is a central, heart-shaped aperture. The top of the chape has a crenellated design It measures 38 mm in length, 26 mm wide and 5mm thick. It weighs 7.87 g. Several similar scabbard chapes have been recorded on the PAS Database including NLM-5BA3B1, NMS-A2B7E4, SF-DEF385, LVPL-5FBC24, SWYOR-06F424, SWYOR-345B11 and WMID-2DE906. Similar chapes have been catagorised as a type III, by Ward-Perkins (1993, 285, fig III). Other examples have been published by Bailey (1995, 70). All are considered to be Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval in dating (c. AD 1450 to c. AD 1550). References: Bailey, G. 1995. Detector Finds 2. Greenlight Publishing, Witham.

Square weights were used between the mid 16th to c.1632, though more commonly they are found to date between c. 1620 and c.1632 (Biggs 1992). An Act of Parliament forbade the use of square weights after 1632 (Houben 1978).

LIN-14FE87: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper-alloy unidentified object, probably of Roman date (AD43-410). The item resembles a cosmetic mortar, though it is not of a type that is seen in Jackson's typology. The item is elongated, and gently concave in profile. At the terminal it has a plano-convex, circular boss with an integral, thick, shank extending below. This shank is complete, and is circular in section. The boss has two grooves separating it from the arm. The arm is pointed oval in section, and narrows to the break. The majority of the arm is semi-cylindrical in section, and contains traces of a corrosion product. Between the collar and the point where the arm is semi-cylindrical, are two elongated, rounded 'legs', one on either side. The item measures 72mm in length. The boss measures 12 x 11 x 5mm. The length of the arm from the boss to the step down into the channel is 40mm. The length of the channel is 32mm. It is 8mm thick at the step-down, and tapers to 5mm at the break. It is 8mm wide at the step-down, tapering to 7mm wide at the break.

LIN-14761E: WEIGHT
A plano-convex lead weight or spindle whorl. The weight has a small diagonal groove or cut mark on the side. This is patinated the same as the weight, suggesting that it was done in antiquity. Possibly medieval in date.

An incomplete Roman or medieval copper alloy object, possibly a large pin head. The item is globular, solid, and has an incomplete iron shank extending from the base. The item is undecorated.

LIN-145E01: KEY (LOCKING)
An incomplete Roman copper alloy openwork object, probably a key handle. The item has a flat base with a curving perimeter. A column is located towards what may have been the centre. The item may have been asymmetrical. Patches of brown patina are visible. A similar item was found during excavations at Colchester and Crummy (1983, 126, no.4161) suggests that keys of this form all date to post AD 150.

LIN-144A3A: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman umbonate brooch, dating circa AD 75-150. The brooch is made of copper-alloy and is inset with enamel. The body is circular in plan, domed, and decorated with a sunburst pattern. The pattern comprises an outer band of inward pointing triangular cells, each filled with blue enamel. An inner band of inward pointing triangles also contain blue enamel. In the centre is a recessed circular cell, with a band surrounding it. No enamel survives. A deep channel would have run around the perimeter of the brooch, but only small sections survive. A small extension to the perimeter is seen, and on the reverse of this is a catchplate. The surface of the metal has been silvered or tinned.

LIN-142E13: BROOCH
An incomplete Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy cruciform brooch, dating to the 6th century. The surviving fragment comes from the lower half of the brooch. The brooch is broken at the top at the base of the bow. Below the bow is a much damaged flat panel, and below this are two transverse collars. The brooch has a zoomorphic foot, comprising two large pellets depicting the eyes, and a domed, elongated snout. An incomplete panel extends to the left of the snouth; that to the right is entirely missing. Fragments of a catchplate survive on the reverse. This area also contains iron corrosion, as does the upper part of the fragment on the front. The surface of the brooch has a brown-red coloured product encrusted over much of it, perhaps sand.

LIN-14164A: CHAPE

The item was openwork, and comprises a tail-like swirl to the right. A flat panel is located to the left, within which is visible a vertical moulded line. Behind this are possibly further details, but these are illegible. The reverse is flat. It is possible, given the 'tail', that this is a fragment of a badge depicting St George spearing the dragon.

LIN-FF6A52: WEIGHT
Post-medieval copper-alloy trade weight, probably of late 17th century date. The weight is circular and has a raised rim. The surface is entirely worn and no detail can be seen. It weighs 13.31g (0.46 ounces), and may therefore be a half-ounce weight.

LIN-FF5414: STRAP FITTING
A medieval copper alloy strap-fitting, possibly a strap-end. The item is formed of a rectangular sheet of copper-alloy, folded over and riveted together at the attachment end. The front is decorated at the attachment end with a series of horizontal grooves extending one third of the way in. The surface is gilded. The reverse tapers inwards to form a slightly narrowed plate.

Iron corrosion is seen around the central bar.

LIN-FEEE22: KEY (LOCKING)
A medieval copper-alloy key. The handle is lozenge-shaped, though the interior is oval. In each corner for the lozenge is an oval knop. The shank is oval in section and has a collar at the handle-end. Two prongs extend from the terminal to form a bit. Two narrow spikes extend at a right angle from the terminal.

LIN-FEDBF0: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object in the form of a stag's head. The head is rectangular in plan and square in section, and decorated with a series of incised lines along the forehead and snout. A line runs horizontally across the terminal to form the mouth. The eyes are depicted by two pointed oval motifs containing a pellet. A broken. thin. rectangular stub of metal extends diagonall from the upper corners of the head, presumably originally forming antlers. The front of these also have decoration, one of which depicts a a V-shaped groove. The back of the head is concave, and a broken oval shank extends from the base. The function and dating of this item are uncertain, though a post-medieval date is likely. Parallels for both the form and decoration can be seen in SF-DEB560 and SF-3EDA41, both of which are also suggested to be of post-medieval date. A broadly similar object recorded as a medieval candle holder is recorded as HAMP-FC7C6A, though it is unlikely to relate to the present item.

LIN-16C4CD: MEDAL
A copper-alloy medal dating to the period 1790-1799. The medal was issued by the Society of Industry (founded 1783), to a boy named Sam Wright, aged 10. The medal is the work of John Milton (1759-1805) (Stainton 1983). Obverse: PLENTY & PEACE ARE THE FRUITS OF INDUSTRY & SUBORDINATION; a draped female figure seated, holding an olive branch, while another female empties a cornucopia at her feet. Between them, a bee-hive. Reverse: SOCIETY OF INDUSTRY FOUNDED XXIX NOVEMBER MDCCLXXXIII; text over four lines: 5 PREMIUM / SAM WR[IG]HT / AGED 10 / 179[ ]. This medal is testimony to an initiative undertaken in the 1780s and 90s to help poor children across some 143 parishes in Lincolnshire. At the time of writing, this is the only surviving medal that bears the name of the awarded child. The history of the scheme was summarised by Eden in 1797. He wrote: 'At the conclusion of the American war, the Rates in this parish (Spilsby, Lincolnshire), were so high, and the poverty of the labouring classes in this part of the county of Lincoln so great, that the Magistrates for the southern division of Lindsay were induced to publish orders for purchasing materials, providing proper places to set the Poor to work in, and teaching all poor children in the district to knit before the were six, and to spin before they were nine years of age. Towards the end of the year 1783, these laudible views were much assisted by the establishment of a Society, for the promotion of industry, by distributing premiums, in various articles of clothing, amonst such children, of certain ages and descriptions, within the district, as should, within a given time, produce the greatest quantity of work, of different kinds, and of the best quality. To carry this project into execution, the parishes within the district were to subscribe a sum equal to one per cent of their last year's Poor's Rates; and individuals, within the district, to subscribe 5s each annually. From these funds, and several private benefactions, schools were soon provided in the spinning of jersey: and premiums have been, since, annually distributed among the most industrious, who were farther distinguished by the appellation of King, or Queen, of the spinners of their district; innocent devices to encourage industry; which, if they animate the Poor, as much as ribbons and garters stimulate the Rich, to active and honest exertion, must render it desirable that the titles of royalty should grace the brow of every industrious cottage child in the kingdom.' (Eden 1797: 399). The Society worked in about 143 parishes, and each child earnt around 5d daily (Eden 1797: 400). The incentive scheme was, however, apparently the brainchild of the Rev. R.G. Bouyer (Stainton 1983: 139). A heirarchy of Premiums were available. These prizes, which were put in place to achieve the Society's grand objective of winning poor children over to industry, consisted of 'such things as [the children] are known to be desirous of' (Rouyer 1790). Each Premium included a medal, in addition to clothing, such as stockings and hats. Some even included future bounties for apprenticeship and marriage (Stainton 1983: 139). 'In the first four years the total number of medals awarded was 222; for which the number of candidates were 400 children, all under eight years of age' (Eden 1797: 399). In the first six years, the total number of copper medals awarded was 664 (Stainton 1983: 139). The Fifth Premium was given to the three best spinners of carded wool (including mop-yarn), or, in default of such Woolspinners, to the best spinner of hemp or flax. In addition to the medal, the Fifth Premium also included one pair of breeches, and one pair of stockings, and a hat. References Eden. F.M. 1797.

LIN-06CB9F: HARNESS PENDANT
An elaborate medieval copper-alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is lozenge shaped, and has an integral suspension loop at the top set at a right angle to the body. The background is enamelled. The upper left quarter contains reserve metal, into which are three oval motifs, each having three tapering 'spikes' extending from the base. The remaining three quarters contain five large pellets of reserve metal, and these appear to be randomly placed across a field of now light-brown coloured enamel. Overlaying all of this in the top half of the pendant is a large 'M' shaped motif of blue enamel. This motif might be a cadence (a horizontal bar from which descend vertical lines), used to indicate the 1st son.

LIN-06AB59: HARNESS PENDANT
A medieval copper-alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is shield-shaped and is decorated with a chequerboard motif, comprising six horizontal rows of five squares. Alternate squares are raised and are coated in silver. The recessed squares between would have contained enamel, but none survives. An integral loop is located above, set at a right angle to the body. A fragment of the copper alloy hinge survives within the loop. The finder suggests that the device seen on this pendant may relate to the De Vallibus or De Vaux family, who apparently had connections to the Frieston area.

LIN-061EB1: STEELYARD
Fragment of a Roman copper-alloy steeyard balance, probably dating to the late first or second century AD. The surviving fragment is from one end of the balance, and comprises a rectangular body with three loops. One is located at the end of the steelyard and the other two are offset, and located on opposite sides and oppostie ends of the rectangular plate. The body is plano-convex in section, and has iron corrosion on both sides, but mostly on the domed surface. Several parallels are recorded on the PAS database, including a complete example from Staffordshire (WMID-184456). A complete steelyard, including balance pan but no weights, was recovered from the Boudican destruction deposits in Colchester and has been published as no. 2508 (Crummy, 1983, p99 and has been dated to the 1st Century AD.

An early to middle Bronze Age copper-alloy flat axehead. The butt is wedge-shaped, and slightly concave along the edge. The body is rectangular in section, and flares to the blade. The body may have had flanges, but these are not clear from the photo. The blade is crescent shaped, and has a small notch, presumably damage, towards one edge. From the end of the shaft to the blade edge the aze measures 68mm. From point to point on the blade it measures 55mm. The axe measures 10mm in width at its widest point.

LIN-F00E1B: BROOCH
A Viking cast copper-alloy disc brooch decorated in the Jellinge style. The brooch has a flat back and a domed surface. The surface is decorated with a moulded motif comprising a knot of beaded lines, perhaps imitating filigree. Within and outside the knot are various limbs, tongues, gripping feet, and head lappets. The whole combines to form a very clear motif consisting of a pair of S-shaped Jellinge-style animals with heads against the edge of the brooch and bodies curving down and around, to end in tails which are wrapped back over the body to end back at the mouth. In the centre is a rounded boss, and the animals each has a spiral shoulder and three-toed triangular feet. The reverse contains a double pin-lug with traces of corroded iron from the (missing) pin between, with further iron staining close to the catchplate. A third loop is located close to the perimeter, roughly between the catch-plate and the pin-lug. Similar to NMS-DFD1E7, NMS-A4D637, NMS-799114, and YORYM-25E682. Of Jansson's type I E (Kershaw 2013, 114-6). The presence of a third loop was believed by Margeson (The Vikings in Norfolk, 1997, p. 21) to be "a sure sign of Scandinavian origin". Brooches of this type are widespread in Scandinavia, with a particular concentration at Birka (near Stockholm, Sweden).

LIN-EF9696: QUERN
An incomplete upper stone of a beehive quern. The upper half of the stone is damaged. The interior curves inwards from top to bottom. There is a handle slot low down on the side of the stone. Beehive querns are generally acknowledged as being a native form of rotary quern with a wide date range and a wide variety of forms. Dating is difficult but they seem to have originated in the 2nd century BC (Welfare, A.T., 1985, 'The milling stones' in Bidwell, P.T., The Roman Fort at Vindolanda at Chesterholm, Northumberland, Hist. Build. Monuments Comm. Archaeol. Rep. 1, 154-71) and persisited in use throughout the Roman period.

LIN-DC8575: BUCKLE
A late medieval copper alloy buckle, dating to the 14th century. The buckle is rectangular in plan and is highly concave in profile, suggesting that it was used to secure thick leather strapping. The frame has an integral central bar. The lip at either end is ribbed longitudinally, and the perimeter is ribbed transversly.

LIN-DC33CC: COIN
A silver Anglo-Saxon sceatta, 'London Derived Series', Series L. Struck circa 710-750.

LIN-DB864B: STRAP FITTING
A medieval cast copper alloy double loop asymmetrical buckle. It consists of one larger D-shaped loop with a small rectangular second loop behind it. The outer edge of the larger loop is decorated with a zoomorphic moulding in the shape of a dog's head. The long ears are laid back along the sides of the frame. There are eye brows forming a '\ /' groove, with a narrowing along the muzzle and snout. The eyes are moulded lentiods. The nose and mouth are formed as notches on the underside. This artefact is similar to a group of buckles from Meols (Griffiths, D. Et al 2007 Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast Oxford University School of Archaeology: Monograph 68) with similar decoration (No. 637 etc.). It is not certain that they are buckles as none has yet been found with a pin and they may be a form of strap loop. Similar buckles/strap loops have been recorded by the PAS, see for example, BERK-F8A072, SWYOR-CF7E91 and SWYOR-3CBD88. The buckle date to the 14th century.

LIN-DB58BE: BUCKLE
A medieval, cast copper-alloy single loop buckle with a decorative, integral plate. The buckle has an oval frame with a flattened lip. The pin is intact and is cast copper-alloy with a single, raised, transverse ridge below the loop. The integral buckle plate is triangular in form, and tapers from the buckle frame and terminates in a double, circular moulding, one moulding containing a copper-alloy rivet. There is a second rivet hole drilled in the plate next to the pin hole. This was probably a spur buckle and dates to the medieval period, c. AD 1250-1400. Similar examples can be seen in Whitehead, 2003 on pages 32-35.

LIN-DA9B0E: BROOCH
Fragment of an early Roman enamelled copper-alloy plate brooch. The brooch appears to have been flat, and circular, but it is now missing about one quarter of the surface. The face of the brooch is decorated with a ladder motif across the centre comprising rectangular cells, each filled with a yellow substance, probably enamel. Further yellow enamelled cells are visible around the perimeter. An incomplete geometric design resembling the letter 'A' is located to one side. This is executed in blue enamel. A pin lug and catchplate are visible on the reverse.

LIN-DA6989: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval copper alloy seal matrix. It has a hexagonally faceted handle with a trefoil loop at the top. The seal is worn and depicts clasped hands, with the arms set at a right angle to one another. A crescent shaped motif is located between them; this perhaps represents a bird. The legend is illegible.

LIN-D9EBB9: PURSE
One arm from a medieval copper-alloy purse bar. The arm is rectangular in plan and in section, and is decorated with a panel of criss-crossed lines. A dark coloured substance survives within the grooves, but given that this item was recorded via email it can only be assumed that this substance is niello. A narrow tab with three circular holes extends below. The complete end has a narrow restriction, before flaring to a conical terminal. The broken end has a faceted collar.

LIN-997216: SCOOP
A post-medieval bone scoop dating to the 18th century. This scoop has been manufactured from a sheep's metapodial. The distal end of the bone forms the handle with the articular condyles left intact. The shaft is filed all over, with linear incised decoration on the front only. This comprises four unevenly spaced lines following the direction of the shaft. Transversing this is a zig-zag motif of ten lines. An additional line runs parallel to the proximal end. The upper half of the proximal end is cut off, while the lower half is broken. The cut would have exposed the lower half of the shaft, which would have been used as a scoop. Similar items have been found in London, for example LON-C667D1, LON-C66426, LON-C65DF7. A similar bone scoop is illustrated in MacGregor (1985:180 fig.97) with this discussion,"commonly executed with no more than a knife, conforming with the tradition that scoops of this type were made by young men for their sweethearts. This notion is nonetheless difficult to reconcile with the general belief that these scoops were used as an aid to eating apples by those who had lost all their teeth. An alternative suggestion, that they were used for coring apples, is more romantically pleasing than a third tradition, that they were used in taking samples from cheeses to test their ripeness. Since there appears to be a certain amount of evidence to support each of these contentions, it must be assumed that there is some truth in all of them, that different scoops served different purposes." Another suggestion as to their purpose may be as a tool in basket making. Reference: MacGregor, A. 1985. Bone, Antler, Ivory and Horn. The Technology of Skeletal Materials Since the Roman Period.

LIN-752342: CASTING WASTE
A copper alloy casting spue or 'jet'. The item has an oval conical body with a narrow shank extending below. This shank teminates with a V-shaped section, suggesting that it has been 'snipped' from the item that it was originally cast into. The surface of the item is smooth apart from the oval surface, which is irregular.

LIN-75113B: SPEARHEAD
Fragment of the tip of a late Bronze Age copper-alloy spear. The tip is lentoid in section , with one side wing damaged more extensively close to the break. The surviving wing, in places, reaches 2.5mm in width, though this side has a number of irregular notches. The break exposes a tapering hollow centre. Parts of the break are smooth, but it is unclear whether this is owing to post-depositional wear or is an indication that the item was purposefully dismantled in antiquity, perhaps for votive or practical reasons. The fragment is likely to relate to the Ewart Park phase. The fragment measures 31mm in length, 13mm in width, and 6mm in thickness.

Obverse: abstract boar right Reverse: large reversed 'S' with pellet in ring terminals, five pointed star with pellet centre to left and right, crescents above and below. The coin is flatter than most scyphates, which are usually dished. It is unclear whether this is an original feature or due to post-depositional factors. This coin is probably a variant of ABC 1770/Hobbs 3178ff.

LIN-CF1259: GAMING PIECE
A complete, worn gilt copper-alloy milled imitation half-guinea depicting George III (1760-1820), milled during the late 19th Century (c. 1850-c. 1900). Obverse: GEORGIVS·[III DEI GRATIA]; George III, wearing a laureate wreath, facing right Reverse: ·M·B·[ ]REX·F·D.ET.L.D.S.R.I.A.T.ET.E.17[?98]; Crowned spade shaped shield, with date below. The shield bears four panels containing detailed rendering of rampant lions, harp and fleur de lys. The originals were nicknamed 'spade' guineas due to the shape of the shield. Diameter: 20mm. Weight: 1.80g. The piece is pierced with a circular hole, 1.0mm in diameter, on the obverse. The Token Corresponding Society (www.tokensociety.org.uk - accessed, 14/10/2014) offers the following information on these imitations: There is an extensive series of over 1,000 different Imitation Spade Guineas, issued not in gold but in brass or bronze. Some are gilt which can make it look like gold and this does cause some confusion. They were mostly struck in the 1800's, during the reign of Queen Victoria, but to avoid the Counterfeit Laws they, usually, have the bust of King George III on the obverse and, usually, the reverse includes the spade shield, - hence the name "spade guinea". To qualify as an Imitation Spade Guinea a coin must have one or both of these aspects. The guineas range between 24-27mm diameter and the half guineas 20-22mm. Many coins are dated in the 1700's and not in the 1800's, to reinforce that they were not real currency guineas. Their purpose was as gaming / gambling counters, to look like sovereigns and half sovereigns, to show off the expertise of the engravers and manufacturers, many of whom were named on the piece - mainly from Birmingham, UK - and as advertising tokens for many types of business, as "give away's" and promotional items.

LIN-CD4A38: KNIFE
An iron knife ferrule. The ferrule is rectangular in profile and oval in section, and appears to comprise at least eight bands. Each band is recessed. An incomplete shank of rectangular section extends from the top, and an incomplete blade extends from the bottom. Both sides of the blade taper from the ferrule to the blade proper. The entire length of the object is 44mm, and the ferrule is 17mm long and 12mm wide. The tang measures 8mm by 5mm, and is circa 15mm long. The blade is circa 8mm long.

LIN-CD3294: THIMBLE
A Post-Medieval lead or lead alloy palm guard. It is ovate in plan with a broad shallowly domed cross section. The concave edge has a slightly raised lip on the domed side. This domed side contains a circular depression. Dates to between c1700 and c1900 AD. Such objects would have been wrapped in cloth of leather with a hole above the depressions. They were then strapped to the hand to protect the palm when tightening cord or using awls and punches in an industry such as leatherworking or sail making. Palm guards of this design are thought to have been cast on occasion in mussel or oyster shells. Portable Antiquities Scheme record number IOW-A9A877 still has the shell remains. Similar objects on the database include YORYM-2DB804, CORN-D88811, and WMID-B40425. LANCUM-4A2A52 shows obvious signs of use

LIN-CD1808: TOKEN
A complete Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token, dating to c. AD 1550-1800; Powell type 2. The token is decorated on one side with a 'I' or 'H'. The other side is undecorated and flat. The token is a grey in colour. It measures 14mm in diameter, 3mm thick, 3.64g in weight. Tokens were easy to make and distributed widely throughout a large period of time; therefore, they are difficult to date precisely. They are thought to have been circulated throughout both the Medieval and Post Medieval periods and those with letters or numbers are given a general date of c. AD 1550-1800.

LIN-399EF7: COIN
A silver penny of Henry II, Class 1c, moneyer DAVI of London, struck 1180-89.

A silver groat of Henry VIII (third coinage) or Edward VI.

LIN-38F1CC: COIN
A silver shilling of Charles I, mint of London, initial mark an anchor.

LIN-3FE5F1: MOUNT
Treasure ref. 2005 T551: a silver mount of 8th or 9th century date. The mount is formed of a trapezoidal strip with six rivet holes along its perimeter, two of which contain traces of iron rivets. The face of the mount is decorated with a tight, net-like, non-zoomorphic interlace, which is rather worn. The object is damaged and rolled over at the wider end, where it is decorated with three conjoined ovals, the outer ones pierced by two of the rivet holes. The broad-stranded interlace is comparable with patterns appearing, for example, on Insular pre-Conquest sculpture and the mount is perhaps from a book or box, although no close parallel can be suggested at present. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the mount conducted at the British Museum indicated a silver content of at least 59%, the balance being copper; it weighs 4.98 grams.

LIN-3FC25A: NEEDLE HOLDER
Treasure ref. 2005 T129: a medieval container, probably a needle case, in the form of a hollow tube with an internal tube designed to be extended in a telescopic fashion. The outer tube is decorated with three gilded, ribbed bands, each with fleur-de-lis terminals. The terminals have been bent away from their original positions. Two of them, diametrically opposed at each end, may have had a mechanical function connected with opening and extending the telescopic component. The body of the tube is silver and the ribbed bands with fleur-de-lis are gilded. The container dates from the thirteenth century.

LIN-3F7166: COIN HOARD
Treasure ref: 2005 T49: 32 additional sestertii from the Cowbit hoard (see Treasure ref. 2003 T76). These 32 coins are part of a larger hoard of 60 copper-alloy sestertii and associated pottery found scattered over an area of 4 x 4m. This worn sestertius hoard is unusual in having one or two later/post-Severan issues. This is a feature one would expect only in the largest examples such as the Gare hoard (RBCH 530), the supply of new aes apparently drying up c. AD 197. In general it seems that the extremely worn bronze coinage from the first and second centuries formed the overwhelming bulk of the aes in circulation in Britain well into the third century (until such denominations disappear from circulation c. AD 270). Cowbit contains an as of Gordian III, thus narrowing down the potentially wide discrepancy between the date of the last coin and the possible deposition date which applies to most later sestertius hoards. The total hoard is as follows: Uncertain, but reign of Vespasian or Titus 1 Trajan 1 Hadrian 2 Antoninus Pius 1 Faustina I 1 Marcus Aurelius 1 Faustina II 2 (addenda) Commodus 1 Crispina 1 Uncertain Antonine Emperor 1 (addenda) Septimius Severus 1 Caracalla 1 Uncertain later Several Empress 1 Gordian III 1 Uncertain Emperor 47+29 (in addenda) Total 60

LIN-3F6B5B: COIN HOARD

Cowbit contains an as of Gordian III, thus narrowing down the potentially wide discrepancy between the date of the last coin and the possible deposition date which applies to most later sestertius hoards. 32 additional coins were found in December 2004 (see Treasure ref. 2005 T49). Uncertain, but reign of Vespasian or Titus 1 Trajan 1 Hadrian 2 Antoninus Pius 1 Faustina I 1 Marcus Aurelius 1 Faustina II 2 (addenda) Commodus 1 Crispina 1 Uncertain Antonine Emperor 1 (addenda) Septimius Severus 1 Caracalla 1 Uncertain later Several Empress 1 Gordian III 1 Uncertain Emperor 47+29 (in addenda) Total 60

LIN-3F1EC7: COIN HOARD
Treasure ref: 2004 T164: a hoard of fused late Roman copper alloy nummi. The hoard comprises at least twenty coins and an unknown amount contained within. Total weight: 22.06g. They all appear to be reduced irregular 'barbarous' copies (sometimes called 'minims'). One coin appears to show a crude copy of a fallen horseman design, dating the coins to the mid fourth century AD.

LIN-3EFF25: COIN HOARD
Treasure ref. 2004 T117: hoard of 46 late Roman copper alloy nummui found by members of the Witham Valley Archaeological Research Committee, 7th March 2004. All 46 coins are Roman and date to the middle of the fourth century AD. The earliest fully identifiable coins are two commemorative issues struck between AD 330 and 335 (during the reign of Constantine ther Great, AD 307-337). The majority of coins fall into one of two types produced during the periods AD 335-341 of AD 343-348. The latest coins in the hoard are the 18 datable to this latter period. In composition this group forms an entirely convincing hoard of this period. The issues can be summarised as follows: Reverse type Date Total Victory on prow 330-335 1 Imitation Victory on prow 330-348 1 Wolf and Twins 330-348 1 Imitation Wolf and Twins 330-348 1 GLORIA EXERCITVS (2 soldiers, 1 standard) 335-341 17 PAX PVBLICA 337-341 2 VICTORIAE DD AVGG QNN (2 Victories) 343-348 18 2 soldiers or two victories type 330-349 4 Uncertain 318-348 1 Total 46 One further nummus was found circa 40m to the west, and two more circa 130m to the west. It is unclear whether they are associated.

LIN-3ED029: THIMBLE
Treasure ref. 2004 T161: an open-topped silver thimble of post-medieval date. It is decorated with a background of rectangular motifs resembling brickwork. A narrow band runs around the top and bottom and both form a large inward crescent one one side. These two crescents nearly touch, and overlap a lozenge-shaped motif behind. 17th century. This is an English type, similar to those illustrated in Holmes 1985, p. 38. Holmes, E. 1985 A history of thimbles (New York)

LIN-152759: INGOT
Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate gold content for the ingot of 43%, and 29% for silver the remainder being copper; the ingot weighs 39.0 grams. The ingot is bar-shaped and hammered to a square section with rounded edges; length, 61mm; width, 9mm; thickness, 8mm. There is a nick in the centre of one edge and there are both fine and coarse abrasions on the surfaces. The metal content of the ingot is not particularly consistent with it being from the Viking period, but would not be out of place for either the Iron Age or Medieval periods. The ingot from Norwell would therefore qualify as Treasure under two of the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act: it is more than 300 years old and the precious metal content exceeds 10%. B.M. Ager Curator Department of Britain, Europe and Prehistory British Museum 30 June 2015

LIN-ED9291: STRAP FITTING
A medieval copper alloy strap slide, for holding down the free end of a strap. The frame is trapezoid and has two inward pointing prongs close to the shorter side. There is a small external bump in the centre of the longer side. Similar to several from late 12th- to late 14th-century contexts in London; see Egan and Pritchard 1991, 231-235, nos. 1254-1265.

Above it a pointed oval panel that has a concave body. The body contains traces of a degraded green enamel. An integral flat-headed stud projects from the rear of this pointed oval panel.

LIN-EADC37: PIN
A possible Roman copper alloy pin. All that survives is a short length of shank of circular section. At the top there is a rectangular collar with a concave waist. Extending from the top of this collar is a narrow shank of rectangular section. This item somewhat resembles the series of Roman pins that contain cockerels at the top. These animals are often depicted standing on a pedestal, such as YORYM-1E9870, HAMP-2D1DA7, LIN-AE15C1.

An incomplete Middle Saxon (720-800) gilded copper alloy disc-headed pin from a linked-pin set. The object consists of a circular head-plate with chip-carved decoration on the face. The decoration comprises a cross of four narrow arms, each arm being shallowly convex. In each quarter are two oval loops with a triskele set across them. The perimeter of the object is damaged in places. The perimeter at the terminal of the left arms is broken around a rivet hole. The perimeter at the top is extensively damaged, and this damage extends to the top of the right arm. There is no rivet hole here, which suggests this is the right hand pin from the linked-pin set. A domed solid boss is located in the centre of the cross. A rivet hole, now containing iron corrosion is located at the terminal of the upward arm, and this is marked on the reverse by a large area of iron corrosion. Two rivet holes are located at the terminal of the lower arm, and both are filled with iron corrosion. These rivet holes are visible on the reverse, and a clear sub-rectangular impression is seen around them. Further iron corrosion is seen around the perimeter of this impression. A small incomplete tab of copper alloy projects from the base of this, indicating the remains of the shaft. The surface of the object has a mid-brown patina and has traces of gilded. The reverse is undecorated and highly pitted. All of the breaks expose a bright green corroson product. Sets of two or three linked pins were fashionable in the late eighth century. The most spectacular example is the linked triple pin set from the river Witham, in Lincolnshire (see L. Webster and J Backhouse The Making of England, London 1991, no. 184), but plainer pieces similar to this one are also well known, e.g. DENO-BF15B8, LIN-81FD08,SWYOR-72E1D5 and NLM-53BCD4. Two similar examples were residual in their contexts at Flixborough (Evans and Loveluck 2009, 36, 65, fig. 1.27, nos. 560 and 561).

LIN-6FB736: BUCKLE
A medieval copper alloy buckle. It is D-shaped and has a narrowed and offset bar. The lip is expanded and has a notch for the pin.

LIN-6FABA5: COIN
A cut silver halfpenny, probably of John, class 5 or 6, moneyer Willelm B, L or T. Mint of London, struck circa 1204-1217.

LIN-6F974C: COIN
A cut silver halfpenny, probably of John, mint of London, struck circa 1194-1216.

A worn late Roman copper alloy nummus of Helena, PAX PVBLICA (Pax standing holding transverse sceptre), illegible mint, struck AD 337-41.

LIN-6F7CAB: COIN
A broken late Roman copper alloy radiate, probably of Carausius (AD 286-93) (Reece Period 14), MONETA AVG (Moneta standing left holding scales and cornucopiae). This coin has been considered for Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.

LIN-6F6B16: BROOCH
An early Roman copper alloy brooch. The brooch is a Colchester derivative type with a fantail foot, similar to Macreth 2011 Vol 1 p69; Vol 2, plate 42, no 6149. The wings are semi-cylindrical in section and contains the remains of an iron spring. An incomplete rearward hook extends from the reverse. The bow is arched to a right angle from the wings. The bow is decorated with a series of fluted ribs, the centremost being the tallest. These ribs narrow to the foot. A fantail expands either side of the bow at the middle, and together forms a large triangular plate. A catchplate is located on the reverse.

LIN-6F3B5D: COIN
A copper core from a contemporary copy of a North-Eastern stater. The core is worn, but a feint wreath and line is visible on the convex surface, while a feint horse is visible on the concave surface.

LIN-6F2C26: BROOCH
Fragment of a copper alloy spring from an early Roman brooch. The spring comprises a central horizontal wire with another coiled three times around it.

LIN-6F25CA: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch, probably a Colchester-derivative brooch with double pierced lug type. The wings are semi-cylindrical in section but both terminals are missing. A hook extends at the top and this contains the remains of a copper alloy spring. The bow is arched and has a rib extending down the centre. The majority of the brooch is missing.

LIN-6F1B69: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch, probably a hinged T-shaped brooch. The wings are semi-cylindrical in section and contain the remains of a copper allou spring. An integral hook extends at the top. The terminals of the wings are enclosed. The bow is arched in profile and a shallow D-shape in section. A small oval stud - somewhat reminiscant of casting waste than decoration - is located a short way down the bow in the centre. Below this is are a series of sub-rectangular cells that one probably contained enamel. The lower half of the brooch is missing. The sides of the bow are abraded, and may have been toothed somewhat like a sawfish brooch. Similar to Butcher and Bayley 2004, p. 95, no. 225.

LIN-6EFC54: MOUNT
An enamelled copper-alloy mount dating to the Roman period, probably circa AD100-300. The mount is circular, flat, and has a rearward lip at the perimeter, thus making the reverse somewhat concave. An integral circular stud projects from the centre of the reverse. The front of the mount is decorated with two concentric bands of enamel set around a large central circle of enamel. These bands are separated by reserve metal. The outer band is decorated with alternating square cells of blue and red enamel respectively. The inner band is decorated with alternating square cells of blue and dark blue/black enamel respectively. The central circular area is formed by a chequerboard of enamelled cells, alternating between blue and perhaps yellow or green. Several similar mounts are recorded on PAS, though their identification ranges from harness fittings to box fittings: DUR-C60B52, BERK-D66574, NCL-A38DF3.

LIN-5B23E0: STRAP END
Fragment of a Late Saxon copper alloy strap-end of Thomas Type A. Only the attachment end survives. This shows the body would have been rectangular and decorated with a rather crudely incised or chip carved motif. The attachment end is rounded and contains two rather crudely executed rivet holes that are out of line with one another. Between them is a sort of spoon-shaped incised motif; two lines run parallel between the rivet holes and then expand to a D-shaped 'spoon' terminal.

LIN-5B12EA: STRAP END
Complete copper-alloy strap end of medieval date, probably late 14th century. It has a tapering hollow rectangular-sectioned shaft, with two copper-alloy rivets at the attachment end. The method of attachment is unusual, since the sides enclose the strap rather than leaving it open as normally seen on strap ends where the plates sandwich the strap. The underside of the strap end has a separate rectangular copper-alloy plate which fits over the strap and neatly joins onto the sides. This plate has two copper-alloy rivets which are also visible on the upper surface of the strap-end. The terminal of the strap end is in the form of a animal head. The head is three-dimensional and has raised triangular ears when viewed from above. In front of this there are two V-shaped moulded ridges. The snout is faceted when viewed from above and has a rounded terminal. The head looks slightly different when viewed from the side. The ears are represented by an incised line runnning diagonally. The side of the head between the ears and the eyes has two moulded ridges which lead into the V-shaped ridges seen on the top of the head. The side of the snout is concave and terminates with upturned depicting the mouth open, as if the beast is bellowing. Similar strap ends recorded on the PAS database are LIN-6EF4E6 and LIN-E09DB2. Another was found near North Cave in East Yorkshire and is on the PAS database at YORYM-2F3636. See LVPL-A4FDB2 for more parallels, both from excavated contexts and from the PAS database.

LIN-5B0231: TOKEN
A late medieval or psot-medieval lead token. It is circular, flat, and has a diameter of 15mm, around that of a penny. Half of the obverse is decorated witha hatched motif; the other half is blank or worn. The reverse has a line of letters, perhaps reading ?LIC.v?. Lead tokens are a frequently occurring find, with a variety of different designs. Tokens like this, were used as tallies or as replacement low denomination coinage during the Medieval and Post Medieval periods.

LIN-5AA83C: COIN
A silver penny of Edward III, mint of York, probably post-treaty coinage (1369-1377). North no. 1295.

LIN-5A8EE6: COIN
A silver halfgroat of Edward III, mint of London. Probably Series B (1351).

LIN-5A7011: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval lead seal matrix. The seal is circular in plan and has a decorative reverse comprising a series of moulded motifs, but no suspension loop. The motif depicts a sub-rectangular item at the base, somewhat similar to a vase or vessel. Three stems rise from this and terminate at the perimeter. Each stem contains three oval mouldings spaced evenly along the length. One stem extends vertically from the vase, while those that flank it extend diagonally from it. In the angle between the left and central stem is a crescent, perhaps a moon, and in the angle between the right and central stem is a four pointed star or cross. To the left and right of the case is quatrefoil formed of four pellets. The face of the seal has two concentric circles around the perimeter, and two around the interior, enclosing a narrow band for the inscription. A recessed dot is located in the centre. The inscription only covers just under half of the band, and possibly reads 'S'EMC.DOE (or perhaps S'EMC.BOE). This seal is apparently unfinished.

LIN-5A5469: BROOCH
Fragment of an Early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy object, probably from a cruciform brooch. The object is flat and broken along all edges. In plan it is presently sub-rectangular, and at one side there appears to be a linear ledge, which drops down to a break. The surface is pitted, but a clear ringed dot motif is visible close to the centre. The reverse has an irregular indented oval area, though it is unclear what this is. Probably 6th century. This is probably the headplate of LIN-5A3F13.

LIN-5A3F13: BROOCH
Fragment of an Early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy cruciform brooch. The headplate and foot are missing. The bow is arched and faceted, and has a moulded rib running down the centre. The break at the top is irregular but well patinated suggesting that it occured in antiquity. Below the bow is a square panel containing a ringed dot motif. An incomplete lappett extends to either side of this panel. Below the panel are two transverse bands comprising three ribs. The break at the base is irregular and well patinated suggesting that it occured in antiquity. An incomplete catchplate is located on the reverse. This brooch dates to the 6th century. This is probably the body to LIN-5A5469.

A silver denarius of Trajan, SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI (Genius, naked except for cloak around waist, standing left, holding cornucopiae while sacrificing out of a patera over a lighted altar), Struck Rome, AD103-111.

LIN-45ED7D: FURNITURE FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy drop-handle, possibly from a piece of furniture. Probably Post Medieval (AD 1650 - AD 1800). A complete example is recorded as IOW-FC7AB4. The handle would originally have been pelta-shaped, but both arms are now incomplete and distorted. The apex is formed by a pair of integral lugs to act as a hinge which are "closed" at the front in order to conceal the attachment bar (present and formed of iron) to facilitate attachment to a piece of furniture.

LIN-45D930: PURSE
A late medieval copper-alloy purse frame. The frame is right-angled, with a curved, smooth exterior. The exterior is decorated with a series of incised X's, each comprising three incised lines. Two rivet holes are located on the rearward lip. The frame is broken at both ends, and is twisted towards one end.

LIN-45B25C: SPINDLE WHORL
A medieval lea biconical spindle whorl. Both sides are decorated with moulded zig-zagged lines with a pellet in each angle. The external perimeter is decorated with a band of diagonal lines.

LIN-45A1A6: BUCKLE
A medieval copper alloy plate, possibly from a buckle, though its thickness suggests it is more likely to have been mounted onto something. The plate is rectangular in plan and broken at both ends. The front is decorated with recessed gothic lettering, perhaps representing the letter 'M', or - if turned upside down - may be part of 'IhC'. The reverse is undecorated and has no signs of attachment.

A medieval copper alloy buckle. The frame is rectangular with slightly convex side arms. The bar is narrowed and offset. The lip is thickened, being oval in section and rectangular in plan.

LIN-4586B1: BUCKLE
A medieval copper alloy D-shaped buckle. The bar is narrowed and the lip is slightly widened. A simple transverse groove provides a pin rest across the lip.

LIN-457BEB: BUCKLE
A medieval copper alloy D-shaped buckle with separate plate. The plate is rectangular in plan, and incomplete at the attachment end. The plate originally comprised a flat rectangular sheet on one side, which divides into two arms at the frame-end, and then wraps around the bar and continues onto the reverse. The rectangular sheet-side was apparently broken in antiquity, and a sheet repair has been riveted onto the surviving fragment. Two copper alloy rivets continue onto the two arms on the other side. The buckle frame is decorated on one side only, and this equates to the plate showing the two arms. The bar is narrowed and offset; the side arms are convex. The lip is rectangular and decorated with a transverse groove at either end, and a pair of diagonal grooves between these.

A medieval copper alloy D-shaped buckle. The bar is narrowed and offset. The lip is egg-waisted in plan and concave on the reverse.

LIN-45172C: GIRDLE HANGER
Fragment of an Early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy girdle hanger. The central shank is rectangular in plan, flat, and decorated with a perimeter of punched crescents. The terminal is 'U'-shaped, with a rectangular arm returning upwards at either side. These arms are decorated with an external perimeter of punched dots. The shank and both arms are incomplete. The reverse is undecorated.

LIN-349C77: STRAP FITTING
A medieval copper-alloy pendant loop from a bar mount. The pendent loop is an irregular quadrilateral in shape, with one long outwardly-curved edge, with a faceted pointed-oval knop (flat to the reverse) at either end, where two shorter straight arms angle inwards. Joining these two is a short cross-bar, from which the pendant would have been held by bar-mount. A near complete example showing how it would have been suspended is recorded as HAMP-073211. Bar mounts with central and terminal lobes from London date to the 13th and 14th century (Egan & Pritchard 1991 nos.1154-1162).

LIN-34897A: CLASP
A medieval copper-alloy 'king's head' buckle or clasp, dating from 1250 to 1400 AD. The frame is rectangular and has slightly convex sides; the bar is narrowed. The top is decorated with a faceted crown. It has a vertically ribbed triangular panel below three triangular 'arches' above, the latter being set back from the lower panel. A deep diagonal groove is located on both sides of the frame close to the crown. 'King's head' buckles and clasps and their variants are well known, and many examples are recorded on the PAS database, such as LIN-E203C7 and LIN-E4E327. See also Egan and Pritchard 1991, 120, no. 568.

LIN-347718: COIN WEIGHT
Post medieval trade weight of Charles I or II, 19mm in diameter, 4mm thick, with a weight of 6.75grams. The weight is in good condition with a green patina.

LIN-3450C1: TOKEN
A complete large lead alloy unifaced token, of Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1400 to AD 1800). The token is sub circular in shape. The obverse design depicts several regularly raised lines in a spider web pattern (probably Powell type 7/31). The reverse is plain and undecorated. The object has been pierced at the top, though the interior of the hole is jagged, suggesting that it may be accidental.

LIN-344772: BOOK FITTING
An incomplete Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) copper alloy book-clasp. The body is rectangular in plan and flares to the attachment end; this is incomplete. A narrow tab extends from the other end. The body is decorated with an off-centre ring and dot motif, with two copper alloy rivets between this and the damaged end. On the reverse these rivets hold a piece of leather. A third rivet is located on the other side of the motif.

LIN-3434FD: THIMBLE
A late medieval or post-medieval copper alloy thimble. It has a closed top and is decorated with a clockwise spiral of hand punched dots.

A late Roman copper-alloy nummus of Constantine I, BEATA TRANQVILLITAS (globe on altar), mint of Lyon, struck AD231-3.

A medieval copper-alloy buckle plate. The body is sub-rectangular, being slightly wider at the frame-end than at the attachment-end. Two incomplete arms project from the frame-end. A rivet hole is located on the body between these arms. A bulbous-headed copper alloy rivet is located on the same alignment at the other end. The panel is decorated with an etched border of dashes. In each corner at the frame-end is an incised triangular panel containing diagonal lines. A line extends into the body from both triangles, and widens to form a motif perhaps representing a shield or piece of foliage. Various annulets are visible, possibly suggesting the latter. A small worn elongated tab of metal extends from the attachment-end that may be in the form of an animal-head.

A medieval copper-alloy buckle with integral forked spacer. The frame is oval and has a pinched lip. Two prongs extend from the bar-end; one is incomplete.

The D-shaped loop widens to the lower corner, and takes the form of a three-dimensional animal-head. The ears are depicted by two small facets to either side of the head; the eyes and snout are similarly faceted. There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (WAW-211F07), (SWYOR-58C841), (SWYOR-CF7E91), (DENO-58F165), (BERK-F8A072).

LIN-09A589: THIMBLE
2014 T814: a post-medieval silver thimble. It was originally of two part construction consisting of a domed top and separate sheet for the sides; the domed top is missing. The edge to edge join of the side sheet is now partially separated. There is a border around the base consisting of two lines of caballing with a blank space between. There are two oval panels positioned on opposite sides of the thimble. One contains a crowned male bust facing left with C over 2 to the left side, and R to the right. The other panel contains a crowned female bust facing left with Q to the left and K to the right. The rest of the surface is covered with closely spaced annulets. The two busts represent Charles II and Catherine of Braganza, who married in 1662. To the bottom right of the panel depicting Catherine, and within the plain panel, are the incised letters AWC. Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database (NMS-E6C671, SUR-D0D147, and SWYOR-3B6DD7), and another is published in Holmes (1976, 15, fig.6b). Ref: Holmes, E.F., 1976. Thimbles Dublin : Gill and Macmillan Ltd

LIN-0C9502: BROOCH
A medieval copper alloy annular brooch. The frame is circular and has a small restriction for the pin. The pin is made of copper alloy and is intact. The frame appears to be undecorated, but the finder has coated it with some sort of oil making it unclear. A possible patch of silvering is noted near the pin.

LIN-0C8AB0: MOUNT
A medieval copper alloy bar mount. It has a circular frame in the centre with a tapering arm extending to either side. Both arms terminate with a smaller circular loop.

LIN-0C801D: SPOON
An incomplete copper-alloy circular spoon of Roman date. Only the bowl and part of the stem survive; the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn. It is shallowly concave. The stem is oval in section and tapers down the centre of the bowl on the reverse. Roman round spoon bowls have been found at Colchester and are classified as type 1 by Crummy (1982) who dates them to the second half of the 1st century and the 2nd century AD.

LIN-0C6A98: BROOCH
An incomplete early Roman bow and fantail brooch, sometimes also referred to as a trumpet derivative brooch. The head is rectangular, flat and has an incomplete loop at the top. The bow is narrow and has a large domed boss in the centre. This has a deep circular channel filled with what may be red ename, though the finder has coated this with some sort of oil and the colour is now distorted. The bow is flat and triangular, and now incomplete. Similar to those illustrated in Mackreth (2011) Vol 2, plate 86. Ref: D.F. Mackreth (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain (Oxbow: Oxford)

A medieval copper alloy buckle. The frame is trapezoid, undecorated, and has a narrowed pin bar. A copper alloy pin survives.

LIN-A6443B: DEBITAGE
A piece of debitage, flint flake of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The flake is sub-rectangular in plan and appears to be snapped at the proximal end. The distal end contains a large patch of cortex. There are three main flake scars on the dorsal surface, and one one side there is a small patch of what is possibly retouch, though this is tentative. The flake plunges on the ventral surface to the end with the cortex. The flint is mottled brown.

LIN-A62952: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A flint scraper of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The scraper is sub-triangular in plan and has an irregular surface, with a small patch of cortext at the proximal end. A small patch of scaled, abrupt retouch is noted at the distal end. It has a flat striking platform and a bulb of percussion on the reverse. The flint is mottled brown.

LIN-A61D86: SCRAPER (TOOL)
An incomplete end scraper of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The scraper is on a thick flake that has a concave ventral surface. No striking platform is visible, nor are any ripple marks. This suggests that the scraper is made from a natural piece, or perhaps on the end of a larger, now incomplete, plunging flake. Short, abrupt scaled retouch is noted along the sides and the distal end. The flit is dark brown/black.

LIN-A60A11: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A Neolithic or Bronze Age flint scraper. It is sub-triangular in plan and has a damaged striking platform at the top. No cortex survives. The scraper has covering, scaled, abrupt retouch at the distal end. The flint is dark brown.

LIN-A5DA60: PALSTAVE
Fragment of a Middle to Late Bronze Age axe of uncertain type, but of Developed Axe or Palstave form. Only a fragment of the butt-end survives. The fragment is rectangular in plan and triangular in section. It has wide flanges on both sides at the break giving the axe an 'H'-shaped section, and these flanges taper to the butt. The break is irregular and well patinated, suggesting that it occured by accident in antiquity. The surface is mottled green and pitted with areas of corrosion. The length of the axe is 25mm, the width is 26mm. Each flange extends 2mm at the break. The body is 8mm thick. The fragmentary nature of the axe makes typological identification difficult. The butt form would be consistent with Developed flat axes, From Type Aylesford (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981)[1] from the Early Bronze Age through to Late Palstaves, of Ewart Park Metalworking in the Late Bronze Age. [1] Schmidt, P.K. & Burgess, C. 1981; The Axes of Scotland and Northern Ireland, Praähistorische Bronzefunde Abteilung IX, 7. Band 7

LIN-A5BC48: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified object made of lead. The item is now sub-rectangular in plan, flat, and with no surviving original edges. The 'top' of the object is folded over, forming a sort of 'lip' on the reverse. At the 'top' on the opposite side to the fold is a stamped shield containing a long cross. The upper portion of the shield is clipped by the fold, but the design does not carry over onto the lip, indicating that it was done after the lip was formed. The latter, then, is possible an original feature.

LIN-A592F3: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A complete flat oval object, made of lead, and bearing an impression or stamp on one side only. The perimeter appears to be decorated with an inscription. Each letter is rather thick, and no breaks in the inscription are visible. Occasional letters such as 'O' and 'N' can be discerned, but most of the inscription is clipped by the perimeter. This surrounds a circular channel, in which are the larger letters SP, set over a circular indentation. The reverse is irregular and undecorated.

LIN-A57FEC: VESSEL
Fragment of a late medieval or post-medieval copper alloy leg from a cauldron. The leg is sub-triangular in section with slightly concave sides. The top contains a fragment of the vessel wall. The leg is broken approximately half the way down.

LIN-A4FD07: COIN
A possible contemporary copy of late Roman copper alloy nummus. The obverse depicts a helmeted bust left, probably representing the personification of Constantinople or Rome as seen on the CONSTANTINOPOLIS and VRBS ROMA coins of the fourth century. The reverse is unclear, but perhaps depicts Victory left. A blundered mint mark including perhaps a pellet at the start, and perhaps followed by C[ ]S is visible below.

LIN-A4E457: COIN

LIN-A4D71B: VESSEL
Fragment of a copper alloy tripod or cauldron foot and leg. The leg is triangular in section and flares to forward facing rounded foot. The break at the top is patinated.

Two rectangular loops would have been housed on the reverse though only one survives. The surviving one shows that the loops were soldered onto the plate. Two patches of corrosion show where the other would have been.

LIN-BD7AC2: AMPULLA
Fragment of a medieval lead pilgrims ampulla. Only the lower half of the rounded chamber survives. The break across the top is fairly linear in places and may indicate that the chamber was cut open in antiquity to release the contents. One side bears a very worn hatched motif; the other is completely worn.

LIN-BCC249: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval copper alloy seal matrix. The seal has a circular face and a hexagonally faceted stem. The stem tapers to a triangular pierced loop. Two collars decorate the stem below the loop. The face of the seal contains a picture of a crowned adult figure, possibly St Catherine, walking right, leaning on a sword or short staff. The figure's head is turned to face the viewer. Behind the figure in the area around shoulders is a possible wheel motif; each spoke is curved giving it a turning motion. The inscription is unclear, and perhaps blundered. Visible are the letters; LEVA(H?)VM

LIN-BC8DAE: BUCKLE
A medieval copper alloy buckle plate. The plate is rectangular and has a rivet hole in each corner. One contains a bulbous headed copper alloy rivet. The plate is decorated with a circular dome close to the centre. Two incomplete arms extend from one end. The surface is gilded.

LIN-BC48DB: MOUNT
A 17th century copper alloy belt mount. It has a flat circular body with a rounded knop at one end, and an oval knop at the other. Two incomplete integral lugs extend from the reverse.

LIN-BC3C51: CANDLE HOLDER
An incomplete Late Medieval to Early Post-Medieval (1450-1550) copper alloy branched double-socket candle stand. The stand originally consisted of a circular collar with two curved branches extending from the top rim. The base, stem, spike or pricket and socket parts of the candlestick are missing. The collar is cylindical and tapers from base to top (12mm to 11mm). The base is decorated with an expanded rim. A single arched arm extends from the top; the other is missing as is part of the rim. The arm splays outwards from the collar at c. 45 degrees then turn at c.90 degrees into a C-shape. The arm terminates in an old break. The collar would have sat on top of the main stem and from its centre would have projected a spike, which probably acted as a pricket - these elements were seperately cast. The object can be classified as Brownsword's 'Branched double-socket type' candlesticks (Brownsword, 1985: Fig. 3) and probably dates to the late 15th to early 16th century. Reference: Brownsword, R, 1985 'English Latten Domestic Candlesticks 1400-1700' in Finds Research Group 700-1700

LIN-BC1082: THIMBLE
A closed top, domed copper alloy thimble. The thimble is decorated with a clock-wise spiral of hand-drilled dots.

LIN-B8D9B9: WEIGHT
A lead object bearing a design seen on late Iron Age North Eastern staters. The object is square, having a flat undecorated base and flat sides. The top of the 'weight' bears a horse motif. The motif is crudely executed, and shows a horse left with a ring of pellets above. There is no central pellet, and only four pellets of the ring (possibly originally six pellets) are visible. Below the horse is a six pointed star. The 'weight' measures 21mm x 21mm x 7mm. It weighs 25.62g. Further lead alloy objects bearing Iron Age coin motifs are also known in the region: LIN-1D7ADA, LIN-B8C44E, LIN-B89EFD, NLM-7CADE3 and NLM-4A834B. These are also thought to be modern forgeries.

LIN-7CC7D6: COIN
A clipped silver siliqua of the House of Theodosius, VIRTVS ROMANORVM, Roma seated facing. Compare RIC IX, 58/84. This type was struck for Gratian, Theodosius, Magnus Maximus and Flavius Victor. The coin has been heavily clipped and no legends survive.

LIN-54BE9D: AMPULLA
A near complete lead pilgrim's ampulla, dating from the later Medieval period. Dated c.1300-1500. The vessel is the classic minature phial shape with a circular body which extends upwards into a slightly flared neck. The rim of the neck is abraded, but largely complete. A triangular lug handle projects from one side of the ampulla at the junction between the neck and the body; the other handle is missing. Both faces of the ampulla are decorated with a raised design, but one is largely missing owing to the object having been pierced and torn here presumably to empty the contents. On one side there is a relief-moulded Lombardic letter 'T', crowned and with a trailing strands of foliate design to either side. Traces of a pellet-ring design can be seen on the other side. Similar ampullae, bearing a similar crowned letter 'T', are recorded on the PAS database (see BH-9CB614, LIN-25E422, HESH-8CE9E4, HAMP-204F64, LANCUM-521C00, LANCUM-ED91E5 and LANCUM-77A960). The presence of the letter T strongly suggests that such pieces originate from the Canterbury shrine of Thomas Becket.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy disc brooch of Early-Medieval date. The brooch is circular and has seven circular lobes with raised collets spaced evenly around the perimeter. All contain ?glass settings of different colours. Beginning at the top and moving clockwise, these are white, light blue, dark blue, yellow, uncertain, light blue, dark blue. The body of the brooch also has a raised perimeter, and this encloses a geometric enamelled design separated by metal borders. In the centre is a heart-shape containing yellow enamel, and to either side is a pointed oval panel containing light blue enamel. A point oval panel also extends from the top of the heart, and this contains white enamel, complementing the white lug on the perimeter at this point. The panel to either side of the heart contains blue enamel. Two scroll-shaped borders extend below the heart; the area inside the scroll contains dark blue enamel, and that to the right also contains blue enamel. The other panels are empty. An integral lug and catchplate are located on the reverse. The surface of the brooch and the reverse have been gilded. This is a disc brooch of probable Early-Medieval date. It finds parallels in the cloisonne enamel brooches examined by Buckton (1986: pp. 8-17) that are identified as having a distribution centred on the south-east of England and as being a particularly English product with influences from European (Byzantine/Germanic) gold work (Buckton, 1986: pp. 15-16). This suggests a similar late-10th to 11th century date for the current example.

LIN-542390: VESSEL
A lug from a post-medieval copper alloy chafing dish. The lug has a thick oval loop, rectangular in section, and which has a narrowed, incomplete shank.

LIN-53F5C4: COIN
A silver Roman denarius of Faustina Junior (under Marcus Aurelius), SAECVLI FELICIT (throne with twins), struck Rome AD 161. RIC 712.

LIN-545287: TWEEZERS
A pair of Early or Middle Anglo-Saxon tweezers. The tweezers have a narrowed loop at the top and flare to wide inturned nibs. One arm is decorated with an incised perimeter, and probably six ringed dot motifs arranged randomly across the panel. Similar examples on the PAS database come from sites that have produced finds mainly of Middle Saxon date: LIN-A12FE3 and LIN-A29AD8. A similar example is also published in MacGregor & Bolick (1993:224 no 38.13) where the authors note that many of the published examples come from 5th or 6th century contexts but as a type they survive into the 7th century. Similar examples have also been found in Middle Saxon contexts at Hamwic (Hinton, 1996, 45, fig18, no.38/40 and 258/102) and Flixborough (Evans and Loveluck, 2009, 31, fig.1.12, no.215 and 220/221).

A late Saxon copper-alloy strap-end, Thomas Type A dating circa 800-1000. The strap-end is tongue-shaped and has two rivet holes at the attachment end. One is incomplete; the other contains a domed copper alloy rivet. A pointed oval recessed panel is located on the body next to the rivet holes. This contains a three-pointed motif, somewhat like the letter 'M', with its apex pointing between the rivets. The main body is decorated with a rectangular panel with concave sides at the shorter-ends. This panel contains motif perhaps comprising disjointed animal-parts. The recesses appear to be filled with neillo. The terminal is rounded and in the form of an abstract animal-head. The recesses are again filled with niello.

LIN-3EB561: FINGER RING
Treasure reference number 2014 T653: A gold medieval finger ring. The ring has an oval bezel which secures an orange-brown coloured stone setting. In section the bezel is lozenge, though the lower sides are more acutely angled than the upper. The base is flat. The hoop is rectangular in section and flares at either shoulder to meet the bezel. One shoulder is entirely detached from the bezel; the other has torn the side of the bezel and survives precariously. Both shoulders are decorated with a raised rectangular panel containing a series of short grooves. This decoration is paralleled on several other rings dated to the 14th century, including NARC-0DB2B7.

LIN-3DBC72: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval copper-alloy seal matrix. The seal is circular and has a small loop on the reverse. The face is decorated with a quatrefoil frame with pointed angles. A cross motif is contained within this. The base of the cross has a diagonal support beam to either side. A smaller cross hangs from both of the arms. The inscription reads S' IOhANNIS DICTI CROLLING, perhaps meaning, 'Seal of John, called 'the curly'.

LIN-98CC57: VESSEL
Fragment of a ceramic strainer or collander of sandy greyware. The fragment is sub-triangular in plan with one curved edge that might represent the edge of the vessel. Three irregularly placed holes are located in the item, and both broken sides show further incomplete holes. Probably Roman.

LIN-2F8FAD: COIN
A broken late Iron Age silver unit, 'S-Type Proto Boar' (Rich 2014: p.11, no. 2; ABC 1779; BMC 3201). The coin is a North Eastern type attributed to the Corieltavi. The obverse shows a boar right (early type B), and the reverse shows a horse left. Struck circa 50-30BC. Diameter 14mm, weight 1.15g. The break is patinated the same as the rest of the coin suggesting that it was broken in antiquity. Reference: Rich, M. (2014) 'Boar Horse' (Aylsham: Chris Rudd)

LIN-2F1F28: COIN
A contemporary copy of a late Roman copper alloy nummus of Magenetius, VICTORIAE DD NN AVG ET CAE (Two victories holding a shield), illegible mint mark, struck AD350-353.

LIN-97C35E: MOUNT
33 post-medieval copper alloy strap mounts, dating circa 1600-1700. All items were found close together in the plough-zone, and 11 contain fragments of leather on the reverse. It is highly likely, therefore, that these items were part of the same episode of deposition, perhaps being decorative elements from the same leather harness strap. Within the group are several sets of identical mounts. Most are gilded or silvered. All descriptions in the catalogue below refer to the objects in the relevent image, running top left to bottom right. Several distinct forms of strap mount are represented, though in common to all is the presence of two integral pointed prongs on the reverse. Double-pronged mounts broadly date to the 17th century and are thought to have been used on horse harness straps (e.g. Ellis 1993: 147, fig. 100, no. 31; 148, fig. 101, no. 55). Similar mounts are also known in America where they are suggested to date c.1690-1770 AD (Hume (1972: 240, 242). Flaming mounts 1. Gilt copper alloy mount. At the base is a sub-rectangular border with rounded terminals, and which contains five pellets. Three flames rise above.

LIN-485123: BROOCH PIN
Treasure reference number 2014 T589: a silver pin from a medieval annular brooch. The head is formed of an oval loop, now split at the top, leading to a tapering shaft of rectangular section.

LIN-039C5E: MORTARIUM
A lion-head spout from a Roman samian mortarium. The head is depicted in three dimension, and has a mane of wavey locks of hair on the top and sides. The eyes are pointed oval and the mouth is open and hollow. The snout is damaged. Lion-head spouts are a common feature of Form 45 mortaria (see Webster 1996: 55-56). According to Webster, "This type first appears in the late 2nd century (c. AD 170 or later). East Gaulish examples were imported up to the mid 3rd century" (p. 56). Several examples are recorded on the PAS database; LIN-118284, BH-12D2A1, LON-187598, LON-02FE97.

A silver sixpence of Elizabeth I, third issue, dated 1568.

LIN-F38F93: JAVELIN
An incomplete Roman plumbata. The spear is made of iron, comprising a shaft of circular section, tapering gently to a barbed head. The tip is missing. A lead weight has been cast onto the base of the shaft to act as a counter-balance. The weight is biconical and has an opening at the base in which part of shaft is visible. Parallels for this object come from Wroxeter (Barker 1979), and Nettleton, near Bath (Wedlake 1982) Barker, P., (1979) The plumbatae from Wroxeter, in: Hassall and Ireland 1979, De Rebus Bellicis, BAR Int. Ser., vol. 63 (Oxford), part 1, pp. 97-9. Wedlake, W.J. (1982) The Excavation of the Shrine of Apollo at Nettleton, Wiltshire, 1956-1971 (Society of Antiquaries Research Report 40)

LIN-DD1978: SHOT
Five post-medieval lead shots or musket balls of varying sizes, but all found within a 15m square. Diameters: 2 x 10mm, 1 x 12mm, 2 x 16mm.

LIN-DCF44A: SPUR
A post-medieval copper-alloy spur rowel, probably of 16th or 17th century date. The piece takes the form of a five-pointed star with a circular perforation in the centre. Each arm is lozenge in section, and decorated with a line of incised lines along each central ridge. An incised line is located in each angle running from the corner of the arms to the central hole.

LIN-DCC1A9: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Fragment of a late Bronze Age socketed axe. Approximatly one-third of the axe remains, with the surviving third being the blade-end. The blade is flared, and one bale tip survives. The blade narrows to a rectangular hollow shaft. The section of the shaft shares the same mid-brown patina as the exterior, suggesting that it was dismantled in antiquity. The section is smooth in most areas, and appears to have been cut rather than being broken. Small patches of copper corrosion are visible around the section, and at one of the blade tips.

An incomplete silver posy ring of medieval date. The outer hoop is engraved with an inscription which reads: INGI.LLI.AIN.JUE. The black letter inscription is not sufficiently clear to attempt a transliteration or a translation of the sentence. Additionally the condition of the object, as broken, makes it difficult to get a clear reading. Each letter group is separated by a small engraved foliate motif. A small cast decorative motif of a flower, heart, flower is integrally cast into the hoop. The ring dates to the 15th century. See LEIC-66CD92, DEV-742F63 and LIN-3553F7 for rings of a similar date and design.

LIN-208F9B: DRESS HOOK
A post-medieval copper alloy dress hook. It has an openwork sub-triangular body. At the base is a V-shaped moulding at the base, and four openwork circles decorate the body above. A rectangular loop is located at the top. A complete hook extends from the base.

A worn copper alloy coin, probably a dupondius (as opposed to an as) of Faustina II (died AD 141), dating to c. AD 141-161 (Reece Period 7), AVGVSTA, Ceres standing left holding torch and corn-ears. Mint of Rome. RIC III, p. 167, cf. 1171; BMC IV, p. 37, cf. 16. The weight of 11.93 suggests a dupondius rather than an as.

LIN-2020B0: DIE
A modern copper alloy die. The numbers are represented by dots, and the layout of these dots suggest that this is an irregular die; that is, the opposing faces do not add to seven (c.f. Egan, G. 'Die', Finds Research Group Datasheet 23). Rotating the die to the right, the numbers read 1, 2, 3, 4. 6 is above; 5 is below.

LIN-1FFD5E: BELL
A post-medieval copper alloy crotal bell. It has a tall rectangular loop at the top. The upper hemisphere contains two sound hows. The lower contains two joined by a channel. The area at the base is very worn, but a moulded oval is visible, inside which appears to be a large number 2. A moulded rib runs around the middle. An iron pea remains inside.

LIN-1FCF04: KNIFE
A Neolithic flint knife. The knife is made from a dark-brown coloured flint. It is sub-triangular in plan and has a flat striking platform at the apex. This platform contains a small patch of mottled white-blue cortex. The distal end terminates with a hinge fracture. The dorsal surface contains three large scars. The left hand edge contains long, scaled, low angle retouch. The ventral surface shows a bulb of percussion emminating from the striking platform. At the distal end is a curved ridge containing a series of vertically aligned stress fractures.

LIN-1D70B0: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Fragment of an unidentifed object of unknown date. The surviving fragment is flat, rectangular in plan, and broken at both ends. The two long sides are original edges. One face is decorated an incised pair of lines with groups of two, sometimes three, incised dashes between them. The pair begins at one edge and then curves in middle to carry on along the other edge, thus forming an elongated 'S'-shaped motif.

LIN-1D4AE8: BROOCH
Fragment of an early Roman copper-alloy brooch. The wings appear to have been semi-cylindrical in section. Both ends are incomplete; a small incomplete tab representing all that remains of the bow extends from the middle. The tab is rather flat and rectangular in section, suggesting that it might be from something like a thistle brooch.

LIN-1D20B1: KNIFE
A worn copper alloy knife stop. The terminal is circular in plan and oval in section. A tapering arm extends from both sides, but both are broken at the top. The object is hollow; the surface is pitted. The dating of this item is uncertain. The conical terminal and tapering arms are reminiscant of the general form of late Iron Age or Roman 'moustache' mounts, and in this respect it might be notable that other material of this period has been found in the area.

LIN-1D056E: MOUNT
A worn Roman copper alloy lion-head mount. It is circular in plan and conical in profile. The surface has moulded decoration in the form of a lions head in high relief. It is formed by three concentric circular ridges, with a further triangular shaped moulding at the apex forming the snout. The lowermost ridge is uneven and undecorated. The second ridge is decorated with a series of incised transverse curving lines representing the mane. The third ridge has a small number of incised lines and dots representing the eyes and mouth of the lion, and the uppermost moulding representing the snout contains a single recessed pellet mark at the centre of its flat upper surface.The underside of the mount is hollow and part of a circular-sectioned iron rivet protrudes downwards from the centre. Decorative lion-head mounts such as this are known to conceal iron nails or pins which attached a lock plate to a casket used in cremation.

LIN-1CDFE5: BROOCH
Fragment of a late Iron Age or early Roman thistle brooch. The head is oval, convex, and from this extends a short bow of C-shaped profile. It is likely that this C-shaped bow extended over a backplate as is typical in this form of brooch. The lower half is missing.

LIN-1CCAB7: MOUNT
A post-medieval copper alloy strap mount. It is subtriangular in plan and has a narrow collar at the narrowed end. Two integral shanks extend from the reverse. A fragment of leather survives between the shanks.

LIN-C8B68E: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Langton Down brooch dating to the late Iron Age or early Roman period, circa AD 25-60. The wings are an incomplete semi-cylinder; the spring is missing. The bow is long, flat and extends almost vertically from the face of the wings. The bow has a rib down the centre with a convex channel to either side. The bow tapers to a pointed terminal, and on the reverse of this are two lengths of incomplete catchplate, demonstrating this to have been openwork. Cf Hattatt (1989) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches p306 no 769.

LIN-C89A75: SWORD
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 antiquity. The section of the break bears the same mid-green patina with patches of brown staining. In section, the handle is 'H'-shaped, and when viewed from the side the lips of the 'H' widen towards the middle. The body of the handle thickens at this point also, and a circular rivet hole is located in the centre. The surface of the object is smooth and has a mid-green patina with patches of brown staining. The sides of the flared terminal both have what appears to be a shallow ridge of casting running along the centre. The butt-end is rounded.

LIN-C841ED: COIN
An illegible late Roman copper alloy nummus, probably struck 330-402.

LIN-C815DB: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle plate dating to the Early Medieval period. The object is probably a counter-plate from an Anglo-Saxon buckle. It is sub-triangular in plan with a rounded terminal containing a small circular boss. At the opposite end of the object two more bosses decorate each edge of the outer face. All bosses measure 6mm in diameter. The sides of the plate are convex at these points to respect the shape of the bosses. Each boss disguises a rivet, the base of which can be seen on the rear of the object. The wide end of the object is incomplete and is notched possibly to house a pin. The perimeter of the place is faceted downwards to give it a sloping appearance. At each end on the rear of the object projects a loop for attachment, one of which is incomplete. Both loops are aligned longitudinally and measure 7mm wide, by 7mm high and 3mm thick. Patches of iron corrosion remain around both loops. This buckle plate can be paralleled at Finglesham, Grave 18 although this buckle has three, rather than two lugs and the one on the narrow end is transverse. Its shape and faceted edge is also present at Finglesham appearing on a buckle from Grave 168, (peers. comm. K. Leahy). It probably dates to the later sixth-seventh century. Similar buckle plates can be found in MacGregor and Bolick, (1993), p193-195. Another example is recorded on PAS as LVPL-7BAAA5.

The sleeve clasp is formed by a rectangular bar, with a row of conjoined roundels along the rear edge, and a rectangular loop at the top. The rectangular bar is decorated with two sets of four transverse grooves. Gilding survives in the recesses. The conjoined roundels would have comprised four circular discs, but the far left one is missing. A small tab of crescent shaped copper alloy extends inwards to join the outer two roundels on either side; this would have formed a useful loop through which the clasp could have been sown to the garment.

A lead object in the form of a three-dimensional chicken, probably used as a cockshy. The object dates circa 1700-1800. The object is formed of a convex oval piece of lead, with a tall crest running down the middle. The convex surface is decorated with a close network of criss-crossed lines. A moulded pellet is located in each cell. This patterning probably represents scales. A large pellet in ring representing the eyes is located either side at one end. The sides of the crest are decorated on both sides. The decoration comprises a band of hatching along the base, with three bands of overlapping semi-circles. Above this are eight rearward 'fins'. Moulded diagonal lines decorate the final 'fin' area. The underside is undecorated and shows no signs of attachment. Shy-cocks may have derived from the Shrove Tuesday pursuit of casting stones or cudgels at a live cockerel which was either tied down or buried up to its neck in the ground (Forsyth and Egan 2005: 239).

LIN-66E329: GUNFLINT
A post-medieval gun-flint from a flintlock musket. The flint is broadly rectangular in plan and is of the classic wedge shape in section. Retouch is visible around all sides. One of the long edges is worked from both sides, thus giving it an outward V-shaped profile. No cortex survives, and no striking platform is present. The flint is dark brown/charcoal in colour. The flintlock was introduced in the middle of the 16th century but it was not until the reign of William III that the flintlock became the main regulation firearm for the British Army. The knapped flint was used within the musket mechanism to produce a spark and would last between 20-25 shots before it had to be replaced, ' Clive Bond, 0.

LIN-643B3D: STRAP FITTING
An elaborate openwork copper-alloy strap junction of late Iron Age or Roman date (probably first century AD). The body is formed by two large crescents that meet their points to form a roughly circular frame. Both crescents are plano-convex in section. Within the frame are two further geometric motifs that join one another to form a band of decoration across the centre. The motif on the left comprises two cresents that join to form a circle; the frame of this tapers at the left side. Offset at this tapered end is a pellet in ring motif; the ring also tapers to the left. A thick crescent extends from the bottom right of this motif to join the motif to the side of the larger frame on the right side. This crescent is angled so that the convex surface faces downwards. The second motif extends from the right side of the crescent, and comprises a vertical crescent with pellet in ring at the bottom right. The area above this is filled with a recessed base layer of copper alloy. A similar base layer is also seen in the middle at the junction between the left and right motifs.

The outer band contains a degraded enamel now of brownish colour. The inner field contains red/orange enamel. Four half-rounded collars project from the circle, and each of these terminates with a small half-rounded knop. The reverse is concave, and an integral shank extends from the centre.

LIN-3EBF75: BROOCH
Fragment of an early Roman brooch, probably a Colchester type. Only the lower half survives. It is comma-shaped in profile, D-shaped in section, and has a rib running down the centre. The catchplate survives. The surface has been tinned or silvered.

LIN-3EAB31: COIN
A silver halfpenny, possibly of Edward IV, second reign (1471-83), and possibly mint of London. The crown is rather upright, and the ornaments are closely spaced. The initial mark also appears to be an annulet.

LIN-3EA13D: KNIFE
A flint knife dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The knife is made from an elongated flake. The flake is sub-rectangular in plan and triangular in section. The flake has a flat striking platform at the proximal end, and a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has two main flake scars, with smaller ones towards the proximal end. The body has a light blue patina, and one flake scar is of a whiter coloured patina, possibly representing recortification. A line of retouch is visible along one side, and this area exposes the brown coloured flint beneath. This in turn suggests that the retouch is later than the flake. The retouch is short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt.

An illegible late Roman copper-alloy nummus, probably struck AD300-402.

LIN-3DDC8E: COIN
An illegible late Roman copper-alloy nummus, probably struck AD300-402.

A thick, solid annular ring, probably of Iron Age or Roman date. The ring is 22m in diameter, with a hoop section of 5mm. The hoop is undecorated, and now very pitted. The surface has a deep brown patina. The hoop is notably more narrowed at one end, presumably through wear.

LIN-3C93A1: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Fragment of a copper-alloy object, probably of Roman date. The object comprises a flat strip of copper alloy, which appears to angle upwards at 45 degrees at both incomplete ends. The outer surface is decorated with a central rib, with another flaking on either side. The ribs are shallow and separated by incised lines. A small convex dimple is located at the point where the frame angles upwards. The long edges are abraded, but one small section is complete showing that the width is more or less accurate.

LIN-3B883B: STRAP FITTING

LIN-3B5E8B: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete lead or pewter object in the form of a seal. The object is pointed-oval (vesica), but only the upper half survives. The object bears a motif in the centre and an inscription around the outside. Unlike seal matricies which show these elements in negative form, the elements here are shown in positive form (that is, the inscription is the correct way round when viewed from above, and the inscription is shown in relief). The motif in the centre depicts a rectangular structure with an apex above. At the apex is a circular object with inner crescent, perhaps representing an orb. The rectangular structure may therefore be a throne or building. The inscription around it is unclear, but may read S[ ]ILLV[ ]. The opening word may therefore be 'SIGILLVM' (seal of). The reverse is flat, but towards the centre there is an irregular oval depression next to a raised curved area.

LIN-3AF3E1: STRAP FITTING
A medieval copper-alloy clasp. The frame is trapezoid and the lip is decorated with a half-rounded hatched motif. An inward pointing prong is located on either side of the frame. For a discussion on these types of strap loops, see Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 231-233; cf. Ibid Fig. 149, no. 1263. c. AD 1150-1400.

LIN-3ACF94: COIN

LIN-3AA5D9: COIN
A worn late Roman copper-alloy of Valens, GLORIA ROMANORVM (Emperor going right, holding standard and dragging captive), struck AD364-78. Possibly mint of Trier.

LIN-3A7E52: DIE
Fragment of an Anglo-Saxon object decorated in Salin Style II. The object is probably a Pressblech die for making foil mounts. The object has a sub-rectangular shank that is flat on one of the long-sides, but which tapers on the other side from about half way down the object. The terminal is rounded and does not appear to be broken. The other end has a raised panel from which extends a curved 'beak-like' motif. In the top left corner of the panel are two chip-carved crescent lines, perhaps representing the eye of the bird. The 'beak' contains a recessed chip-carved panel that curves and terminates with a prong pointing towards the eye. The reverse is undecorated and there appears not to be any fittings or breaks. This suggests that it is a Pressblech die for making foil mounts. Suggested date c. 570-670.

LIN-3A3C63: BRACELET
Fragment of an early Roman copper-alloy wide cuff bracelet. The fragment is from one of the terminals. It is decorated at the terminal with two transverse grooves, between which is a rope-like line on either side, and between which is a solid moulded line on either side. The body is decorated with a pair of lines at either perimeter, between which are three lines. Probably 1st century AD.

LIN-3A34F7: PURSE
An incomplete medieval copper-alloy purse bar and loop. The loop was oval in plan but is now incomplete. The loop passes through a bar, and terminates with a bulbous knop that secures the loop in place. The bar is very short and has a narrow collar either side of the central circular opening. A half-rounded knop is located at either end of the bar.

LIN-3A264A: CROTAL
A post-medieval or modern copper-alloy crotal bell. The upper hemisphere has two circular sound hole and a rectangular loop at the top. The lower has the usual two sound holes joined by a channel. The lower is decorated with a circular band of incised lines, giving a sunburst impression. A semi-circular panel is located next to the sound hole on one side only, and this contains three triangular motifs with their apex's touching one another.

LIN-3A1364: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete, post-medieval lead cloth seal. Only one of the discs survives, as does part of the tab that originally joined the two discs. The seal bears an inscription over three lines, though most of this is unclear. The inscription reads GG/[ ]BF/[ ]AR. The initials may refer to the wardens operating at the time of manufacture, for example.

An illegible late Roman copper-alloy nummus, struck circa AD330-402. The coin has a reddish patina.

LIN-D48010: KNIFE
A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy zoomorphic knife end-cap (terminal stop) from a scale-tang knife (c. 1500-c.1600). The cap has a hexagonal base from which projects two symmetrical, opposing animal heads, probably those of dogs. They are separated by a deep central groove. The snouts are blunt, sub-square with slightly upturned tips. There is no indication of eyes and the mouths are open. The moulded eyes and slightly open mouths are emphasised by incised lines. The neck below is recessed from both sides. There is an incised circumferential groove just above the base. On the underside there is a slot running from side to side filled with the corroded remains of an iron tang. Similar knife caps are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: DOR-6D6F65; GLO-020963; GLO-82EF44; HAMP-728F85; IOW-765F43; LIN-596C16; LIN-A10AF3; NLM-AE2546; NMS-877601; SF-4FF4C6; SOM-471CD5; SUR-980A76; SUSS-A9D6E3; SWYOR-E0FD66; WAW-A91822; WILT-8A0584; WMID-32A422; YORYM-B5B5C8; and YORYM-E112C2.

LIN-D383F2: BROOCH
Fragment of what appears to be an Anglo-Saxon brooch, perhaps a cruciform or small long type, dating to the 6th century AD. The fragment has a flat face though all edges are damaged. The reverse contains a damaged catchplate; iron corrosion survives to one side of this, presumably representing the pin. The object is pitted and covered with soot, suggesting that it has been in a fire. The breaks are old and rough.

LIN-D364EF: BUCKLE
A medieval copper-alloy buckle plate. It is flat, rectangular, and undecorated. A rivet hole is located in two opposite corners. A third is located in the centre at the other end.

LIN-D34D8D: CLOTH SEAL

LIN-D33460: MOUNT
Fragment of a medieval mount. It is elongated in plan and D-shaped in section. One end is flat and contains a copper alloy rivet; three collars rise at this end, and a second rivet is located just beyond this. The other end is broken at the point where there appears to be a rivet hole. Probably a mount for a box; compare NLM-8D7983, etc.

LIN-D323BA: CLASP
Fragment of a medieval buckle clasp. The lip is expanded and in the form of an animal head seen from above. It has an upturned shovel-shaped nose and two large circular depressions for the eyes. A series of transverse grooves decorate the hairline. Only a short stub of frame survives one one side; the other is entirely missing. This is a version of the more commonly found 'Kings head' clasp.

LIN-68DF3C: BROOCH
A Roman copper-alloy hinged dolphin brooch. The wings are cylindrical in section and decorated at both ends with a single perimeter groove. The pin is missing. The bow is comma-shaped in profile and D-shaped in section. The top of the bow is decorated on either side with a curved moulding. A rib runs down the centre. The foot is missing.

LIN-5438CC: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A medieval copper-alloy object, having the form of an oval loop and shank. The frame of the loop is rectangular in section and is decorated on one of the external faces with a rectangular hatched panel. A hatched cuboid collar is located beneath the loop, and a tapering shank extends from this. The shank is thick at the point where it leaves the collar, and narrows shortly thereafter. The shank terminates with a circular hole. The reduction in thickness of the shank appears to suggest that it has been reworked.

LIN-3E6E1A: KNIFE
A flint knife dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. The knife is elongated and tapers to an apex. No striking platorm is visible at the base, but cortex survives on some of the dorsal surface. The flint is mid-brown in colour and appears to have invasive, scaled, low angled retouch. This identification has been done from images sent by the finder.

LIN-3DF4E1: PIPE (SMOKING)
Fragment of a modern clay pipe stem. It is broken at both ends and has [ ]K SE stamped into it, indicating it as as being from the factory of Spaull & Co of 67 Grange Walk, Bermondsey.

LIN-3DD243: GRAVE MARKER
An early medieval limestone 'eared' grave-marker with a conventional 'X patee' form of cross. A number of Lincolnshire examples of this type of monument are listed in Appendix F of the Lincolnshire Corpus volume (P Everson and D Stocker, Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture V: Lincolnshire, Oxford 1999). They are found quite regularly in Eastern England and are often grouped according to their quarry source. This particular example may well derive from Ancaster. The usually accepted typology suggests that they belong to the first century after the Conquest in date, though they perpetuate a pre-Conquest monumental form. There is in fact an example of the earlier form, possibly 11th century in date, at Westborough itself (which is included as a Corpus item).

An incomplete, early Roman copper-alloy brooch. The brooch appears to be a varient of a spring dolphin or bow and fantail brooch. The wings are semi-cylindrical and are decorated with a narrow rib at each end. In the centre at the back is an incomplete hook. A comma-shaped bow arches from the wings, and this flares onto a lozenge-shaped panel . The sides of the panel are curved, and terminate with a collared bulbous knop on either side. The rib of the bow continues down the centre of the plate. The foot is missing.

LIN-13C38D: TOY
An incomplete cast copper-alloy toy in the form of a musket (gun) dating to the mid Post Medieval period (c. 1600-c. 1640). The barrel is rectangular in section and hollow. The barrel widens in width towards the butt, which bends away at approximately 45 degrees. A comma-shaped trigger guard extends from the lower edge at the junction between barrel and butt. The barrel is decorated towards the opening with a pair of lines, and with diagonal lines and pellets at the butt-end. Toys such of these are based on the match-lock 'petronels' of the 16th and 17th centuries, and examples with hollow barrels and ramrods such as this, were fully working models (Egan and Forsyth, 2005, Toys, Trifles and Trinkets, Museum of London, page 92). Similar examples can be seen on this database including GLO-489057 and IOW-858155.

A silver halfgroat of Henry VI, annulets issue, struck AD 1422-27. Mint of Calais. North number 1429.

LIN-A91D32: HANDAXE
A Lower Palaeolithic flint biface dating to the Acheulian. It is sub-oval in plan and is worked all over. It has some modern damage mainly located at one tip, and the axe overall has a slightly rolled - but not extensively so - feel to it. The axe presimably was in MIS 6 (Balderton-Southrey) terrace deposits of the Trent and derives from earlier deposits upstream. It is impossible to date, but possibly derives from an MIS11 context (between 424,000 and 374,000 years ago).

LIN-EEA9D8: TAP
A post-medieval copper-alloy barrel tap handle.The section comprises a double openwork looped 'M' shaped handle at the top of a tapering cylinder with central transverse perforation. The handle is flat and has a central vertical bar ending in a large curved knop, the sides are curved and step in half way down before meeting the flat base; there are slight knops at the end of the flat base. A rectangular tab links the base of the handle to the circular solid top of the key. Below the top is the tapering, circular sectioned piece with an open base, filled with a white substance, probably lead. A central circular perforation runs straight through both sides. Probably 18th or 19th century.

LIN-EE8A8A: BUCKLE
