A Post Medieval to early Modern complete cast lead alloy circular uniface token, dating from c. AD 1550-1850. Powell Type 2. The obverse of the token has the letters RL stamped into it and the reverse is blank. It is 20.93mm in diameter, 2.32mm thick and weighs 4.4 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are thought to be Post Medieval in date (1550-1800 AD). Due to the style of the stamp used to decorate this token, it is likely that it dates to the latter half of this range.

This cast metal fragment appears to be the side wall of a cylindrical vessel, approximately 90mm diameter and made from what appears to be bronze. The top edge (in the image) seems to have a moulding suggesting a rim was just above it and on the reverse it starts to roll to the front. The lower edge also seems to have broken quite evenly and straight. At approximately the mid-point a hole has been drilled (or cast?) from the outside surface inwards as it is countersunk.

Possibly an incomplete, Roman, copper alloy stylus or cosmetic applicator. The object has a circular-sectioned shaft which curves and has been broken off, losing the pointed end. The bend may be post depositional damage or may be part of its design to sit comfortably in the hand. At its blunt end, the shaft starts to flare into a paddle-like terminal. This terminal is thinner than the shaft, has flat surfaces and is decorated with 4 large ring and dots and one edge with 4 smaller circles. The object measures 61.3mm long, up to 6.8mm wide and 2.5mm thick (shaft) and 1.0mm spatula end. …

Broad period: ROMAN
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The 48.1mm pin is quite rounded at one end and, although also blunt at the other, it is clear that it was broken in antiquity. The shaft has a circular section and an even, pale green patina. It is shiny and smooth to the touch. It could possibly be a brooch pin or a hairpin. Found alongside it was a semi-circular loop of copper alloy with a flattened oval section. Both ends are broken and it has the same even, pale green patina and smooth, shiny surface texture. There may be no connection between the two items and the loop may have formed a suspension loop from a different artefact.
