County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy object, probably a perfume flask or bottle of Medieval or later date. It is in two joining fragments due to post-depositional damage. The vessel is hollow cast and in the form of a parrot, with remains of a blackened substance probably resultant from the casting process visible in the hollow tail end. The parrot has relatively neat decoration highlighetd through incised lines and punched dots.
Its head is oval shaped in form with projecting sub-triangular crest with incised central grooves and notched edges representing feathers. It has a circular eye with semi-c…

Group of melted silver objects and an old button or weight (listed separately). The silver objects (2-5) were found encased in melted plastic box (1) & associated with other burnt objects as well as the button. It is worth noting that local tradition has it that there was a fire at a nearby hall. It is likely that this material was dumped while clearing up after the fire. None of the silver objects can be identified with any surety. However there appears to be a late Roman coin fused to one of the lumps of silver (5). It is not unreasonable to assume it was a coin attached to a silver…

Opaque turquoise blue glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is oval in plan and circular in section with slight rims around the holes. It has a rough sided hole c.2.4mm in diameter running though it. It is 8.9mm long and 9.2mm in diameter and weighs 0.89 grams.
Irregularity in the shape and a spiralling grain suggest it was made by being wound on a pontil. Although turquoise blue beads were popular in the Roman and Early Medieval period, those examples are usually more globular, distinctly wider in diameter than they are long. Guido (1978:70) comments that stray examples of such be…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle (probably), possibly dating to the Roman period although it could date to the Medieval period. The object consists of a rounded corner of the frame, the bottom of which swells outwards before narrowing to a double banded moulded constriction. The reverse of the object is slightly concaved, and there is no decoration anywhere on the object. The object is broadly similar to some zoomorphic buckles of the late Roman period (Hawkes & dunning 1961), but no direct comparison could be made, hence the uncertainty of date.

A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy fragment of an unidentified object of uncertain date, probably Bronze Age-Medieval (c. 2150-1499 AD). The fragment is roughly D-shaped in plan, and broadly T-shaped in cross-section; the surface of the fragment is flanged, almost similar to a Bronze Age palstave. A small sub-triangular shaped divet is positioned near the upper portion of the T-shaped cross-section, which could be a casting bubble. The patina of the fragment is of a deep even green and similar to objects dating from the Bronze Age - Medieval period. It is possible that this frag…

A small copper alloy harness ring which probably dates from the medieval or post medieval period (Geake 2001). Very functional objects like this are difficult to date since their design does not change. It is circular in shape, with hexagonal section. There is no visible wear, and there are file marks. For a similar example see SWYOR-8F2123.The patina is grey suggesting a high tin content.

TREASURE CASE : 2012 T431
A small lump of gold of uncertain date. The object is sub-circular in plan with a D-shaped section and smooth rounded edges. It is likely to be casting waste.
Date: Unknown
Dimensions: Diameter: 14.4mm; Thickness: 4.4mm; Weight 5.3g.
Discussion:
Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find, and despite it containing a minimum of 10% precious metal, it cannot be securely dated to pre-1712 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

A possible complete copper alloy fitting of unknown use and of uncertain date. The item consists of a tongue-shaped copper tube (slightly open at the join) containing what appears to be lead solder with possible organic remains (eg. wood or leather). The exterior of the copper-alloy tube also appears to contain some organic matter, such as grass, but this may be as a result of the corrosion process. Possible suggested uses for this item are ferrule or simple strapend. Due to the simple construction of the item, however, it remains undated.

Record ID: WILT-3EAA38
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable (Late Iron Age to Post-Medieval) copper alloy multi-purpose ring, circular in cross-section . It measures 34.86x34.43mm in 'diameter' (internal c.25mm) and weighs 13.65g. It has a smooth dark green patina.
Rings like these are numerous and would have been multi-purpose, eg.for hanging keys from a belt etc. As this example is rather more robust it may have had use with harness. It appears out of shape in places, suggesting it has been pulled on by a heavy weight.

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fossil sponge known as Poroshpaera, which are known to have been used in the early Bronze Age as stone beads. Kenneth Oakley's paper, published in an early volume of Antiquity, titled 'The Folklore of Fossils' discusses their use. Identified by Kevin Leahy and confirmed by Mr Paul Ensom, formally of the Natural History Museum. The spherical fossil measures: weight is 2.43g, height (where perforation is vertical) 12.54mm, diameter is 13.51mm and the circular perforation has a diameter of 3.92mm.
It is impossible to tell if a Porosphaera fossil has been used as a bead unless it was …

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan though badly formed with an irregular surface and multiple pitted areas.
The glass is a light bluish-green colour. The bead is 19.1mm in diameter, 10.9mm thick and weighs 4.4g.
Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty therefore due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and it could be Roman through to post-medieval in date.

Object type: BOTTLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White (clear) glass of green-blue tint bottle base. Shard from the base of a hand blown glass vessel with punt; part of an inner ring of glass adheres to the edge of the punt, possibly as a flaw corrected during manufacture. The base of the vessel is worn, indicating its prolonged use. This could be either a Roman or a Post-Medieval vessel, as the recipes for soda glass used in both periods were similar, and both could produce very durable glass. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1900.
Diameter: 28.5mm, Height (punt): 10.5mm, Thickness (wall): 3.3mm, Weight: 6.57gms.
