Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy casting jet of probable Mid to Late Bronze Age date. The piece takes the form of an inverted half-cylinder, its bottom point bifurcating into two angled runners. Dimensions: 28.3mm high, 25.6mm wide, 11.8mm wide (top). Weight: 20.93g. Casting jets are waste products which form at the top of a two-piece clay mould when the molten metal has filled the object-shaped void below. As they represent re-usable metal, they were often retained and regularly turn up in founder's hoards of the period (see, for example, 2006 T36, from Devon).

Flint blade dating to the early Prehistoric period, c5000-3000BC. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and triangular in cross-section. The lower (ventral) face of the object is smooth. Two long flakes have been removed to create the upper (dorsal) face of the object on which small ripples can be seen. Each long edge of the object has been lightly retouched with fine serrations and it was therefore probably used as an implement. The implement has been made from mid-grey flint.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A dispersed civil war hoard of 21 silver coins. The hoard consisted of 7 halfcrowns and 14 shillings. The earliest coin was a shilling of Philip and Mary.

Sub-circular stone disc with fairly flat faces probably representing the original stone surface. There is no sign that the edges of the stone were trimmed, all have been smoothed off somewhat by wear, possibly natural erosion as well as use, suggesting the shape is of some antiquity. It seems likely that the stone was chosen for its shape rather than being shaped to order. There is an 'hour glass' shaped hole cut through the disc face and located towards one edge. The actual piercing is more oval in shape measuring 9.45mm by 7.89mm. The bevel around the hole is circular and fairly s…
