Cast solid tin or tin alloy button with a slightly raised centre within a border of raised pellets. The back has the raised circular base, 2 mm in diameter, of an attachment loop and some iron staining around it suggesting that this might have been made of iron. But similar examples of tiny tin buttons, referenced below, have solid simple looped shanks that are circular in section and made of the same material in general. Egan & Pritchard (2002) illustrate a tin button with a border of raised pellets and the base of a solid circular shank on the bank on p.275, fig.178, no.1382, whi…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy side-looped socketed axe with a socket mouth that is sub-square in plan, a thick everted collar and an expanded blade, dating from the Early Iron Age. The everted collar is 11.6 mm deep and below the collar is a transverse moulding that is 5 mm deep, from which four parallel vertical ribs extend down the blade at right angles, on each face. Two more longitudinal ribs form a border on either side where the axe is chamfered at a sharp angle, and follow the curve of the edge. The ribs are 1 mm thick, 70 mm long and 6 mm apart. Between each rib on one face of the axe are…

Cast pewter flat one-piece button with the base of an integral undrilled shank that is 2 mm in diameter on the back. The upper face of the button is decorated with ring of eighteen raised pellets as a border around a plain, slightly domed interior. Read (2005) illustrates a very similar small lead alloy button with a border of eighteen raised pellets from South-East Dorset, on page 100, no.393, which is dated from the 15th century. Egan & Pritchard (2002) illustrate a flat lead alloy button with a similar border of pellets, and a shank with a loop on a stem, on page 275, fig.178…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint axehead, oval in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. The axehead is straight-sided and tapers towards the butt end which has a rounded terminal, where the axehead would have been hafted. Flakes have been taken off on both the dorsal and the ventral faces at the distal end to create the blade, which has then also been polished, but the rest of the axe has been left with its flake scars. There are darkened areas on both faces, where the axehead is polished, which probably represent use-wear, but the recorder was not able to look at the specimen under a microscope to co…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Sheet copper alloy two-piece strap-end, V-shaped in plan, with ogee-shaped tip, and flat in section, with two rivets, one at the edge where the leather strap would have slotted between the two plates, and the other just above the end tapering to the ogival terminal. There may have originally been side strips or a sheet spacer between the two plates, but there is now hardened sandy soil between the the plates, and to remove this would probably damage the strap-end. Egan & Pritchard (2002) illustrate a similar example on page 147, Fig.96, No.696, which is dated to c.1350-1400. Ottaway &…

No.255 has three lions passant and this is referred to as the Roya…
