Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy double looped buckle dating from the medieval period. The buckle has an integrally cast central strap bar but the pin is now missing. It is likely that the pin was made of iron as suggested by a large mass of iron corrosion on the central bar. This is a common type of buckle, often referred to as a 'spectacle' buckle, and dates from the period c. AD 1350-1700.

A cast copper alloy open work stirrup strap mount, dating to the late early-medieval / Anglo-Scandinavian period c. AD 1000-1100. The stirrup mount has a lozenge-shaped frame and has four openwork lozenge-shaped apertures internally; the uppermost section and apex is now broken but would have terminated in a rounded loop for suspension and attachment. There is a heel at the base of the mount and a rivet in the centre of the openwork frame, probably to act as extra security. Williams Class A Type 12.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon Great Square-headed Brooch, dating from the early to mid-6th century AD. The fragment is one of the arms of the brooch, is gilded and is decorated with chip-carving in Salin's Style I. There are disjointed animal parts such as legs and bodies which are distinguishable and possibly a animal or predatory bird's head. The reverse is plain. Although the break is worn it does not appear to be ancient, suggesting that it may have happened during ploughing.

Workflow stage: Published
The neck and terminal of a prick spur of composite construction and probable 11th or 12th century date. The neck is of copper alloy and through this runs an iron shaft which projects to form the goad. The terminal is conical and has eight ridges. The neck has a circular section with closely-spaced encircling ridges, and expands where it meets the missing iron heel and sides. Spurs with conical or pyramidal goads are known from the mid 11th to the late 13th centuries (Ellis in Clark 1995, 127). There are other composite goads on the PAS database (e.g. HAMP-7660EC and BH-BCD836) but …

An unusually large and chunky Neolithic arrowhead dating from c. 4000 - 2100 BC. The arrowhead was the cause of consideration by Alison Roberts (Ashmolean Museum) and Prof. Nick Barton (Institute of Archaeology), and thanks are given for their comments, which follow: 'The flint appears at first to be of considerable age, however it is too small to be of Upper Palaeolithic origin, but is not quite right for the Neolithic period either. There are large laurel-leaf arrowheads of the Neolithic that have been found in East Anglia, so it is probably better to consider this as a Neolithic…
