A sheet copper alloy sword pommel, probably dating to the early-medieval period. The pommel is made from one sheet of copper alloy that has been folded from a flat rectangular base up and over into triangular profiled pommel with a rectangular cross section. The pommel is filled with a lead alloy substance, giving the object quite some weight for its size. The folds of the pommel do not quite touch each other and the lead infill has leached out. Through the centre of the pommel is the remains of an iron rivet or pin; possibly the remains of the tang but with a small diameter. Although…

A chunky looking blade with a finely serrated edge. It could be described as a piercer or serrated piece. The point has been blunted, probably from use. The serration is along the right and left hand edges and there are signs of gloss from use wear on the dorsal face. The right hand edge has patination along it. The flint is dark grey in colour with large speckles of lighter grey and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig. 71, No. 6 which is dated to the later Neolithic.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded cast copper-alloy medieval strap-end made of a single strip folded in half widthways. In shape it is a simple rectangular with rounded corners, some of the rounding may be from wear. There is a single rivet which appears to be cast integrally with the front and then roughly hammered flat after going through the strap and a hole in the back-plate. The flattened end of the rivet is sub square. The strip is notably thick (Th.: c. 1.9mm); this has helped result in a fracture to one side of the fold that extends up one face. The strap-end seems to have been squeezed together j…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery base sherd with smooth exterior and uneven interior, both with dimples in the surface where large inclusions have eroded out of the matrix. There is also a semi-circular cut into the right edge of the interior of the sherd, which may have been part of a hole, but it does not extend through to the base of the sherd and is too worn to be sure. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has large inclusions of pale felspars, and smaller inclusions of dark augite and mica, and is mid-brown throughout in colour. Th…
