Object type: BELL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small iron hand-bell plated with copper-alloy using the 'fusion-plating process' (Bourke 1980; 1983). The bell is corroded but appears to be made from a single piece of iron that has been folded in two; the seam, which is located to the side, is now open and was presumably once riveted together. The bell has pulled shoulders, which results in a very narrow apex. In plan the bell is sub-oval. A ring was set in the top of the bell which served both as a handle and for a suspension of the clapper. The former is evidenced by two small knobs of iron at the apex; the latter is perhaps …

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified artefact of high iron content metal. Sub-rectangular in plan, with rounded corners and one end wider then the other, and with transerve grooves at the wider end, the object takes the form of an animals paw, or foot. Slightly bent, there are two grooves on the reverse of the object. Bothe ends appear broken. The wear and corrosion of this object make an identification difficult. Images have been sent to curators at teh British Musuem, and to Finds Advisors of the PAS, and so this record will be updated in due course.

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A hand-wrought iron knife, probably Early Medieval in date, but feasibly from any point between the late Roman to Medieval period. The knife is incomplete and is in two parts. The blade has a narrow tang of rectangular section, closer in position to the back of the blade, but slightly offset. Two points with thinner and slightly different corrosion may suggest the position of rivets that would have attached the handle plates to the tang. The knife blade itself was probably triangular, and has a broader face to it than most Medieval examples and fits best in the late Roman and Ear…
