Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, later Early Medieval cast copper-alloy fitting or mount, probably a knife scabbard chape, dating to the late 10th or 11th century. The fitting is of an irregular openwork shape in plan and mostly flat in section but slightly hollowed on the reverse. One end of the item is folded over to form the bottom edge of the chape and although this fold has a smooth edge the item has almost certainly been broken at this point. Comparisons to similar mounts indicate that in its present state just over 50% of the original mount has survived. When complete the item would have continu…

Workflow stage: Published
An iron socketed spearhead of broadly medieval date. Though corroded, the artefact survives relatively well and the angular blade shape can be clearly discerned. The blade turns in after 115-120mm at an angle of approximately 140 degrees. Beyond the blade tapers to a width of 14.3mm at its junction with the socket. The blade is flat with a shallow lozengiform section. The socket expands to a hollow circular section of diameter 24.3mm over a length of 100mm. The socket is broken at its terminal across 13.6mm. If this socket was once split, a trait indicative of an Anglo- Saxon date, th…
