Fragment of copper alloy pin. Very narrow circular-sectioned shaft with regularly-spaced transverse notches along the existing length of one face of the shaft. Mid grey with occasional patches of bright green corrosion. It is 38.52mm long, has a diameter of 1.05mm and weighs 0.21g. Slightly pitted surfaces, some bright green corrosion within some of the notched decorations. No parallel could be found for this pin with its very narrow shaft and unusual regular decoration along its length, in Cool’s typology (1990) or from the Colchester report (Crummy 1983).

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object or possible hinge. Copper-alloy object, now rather corroded. It is basically flat and rectangular, 43 x 20 mm, and broken at one end. A groove runs along either long edge, and the front is divided into three fields by two longitudinal ridges, each of which is transversely ribbed on the top. The ridges and grooves run up to a pair of hinge loops at the complete end, apparently cast into shape onto the front of the object. Each one is as wide as the outer field, and they enclose an iron hinge bar. In between the hinge loops is the stub of a surviving pin, probab…

An incomplete worn copper-alloy unidentified object. Rectangular in shape measuring 50mm in length and 10mm in width. Only one longitudinal edge appears to be complete and this is thicker than the other worn incomplete edges. This edge is also very slightly curvilinear. To little of this object survives to identify it, there is a possiblity it could be a cast copper-alloy vessel rim fragment but this is by no means certain. Its date is also unknown.
