Two fragments of worked bone. 1: This fragment has been carved into a fine point, and is semicircular in section. The inner surface of the bone is rough, as expected, but the outer surface is polished, more so towards the point. This may have been done deliberately for decoration or may be the result of a repeated action, such as pushing the point through leather? The object is broken at the broad end. It has a surviving length of 49.76mm, is 10.14mm at the widest point and weighs 2.97g. It is white with grey patches and the tip is significantly darker grey. 2: This fragment of tu…

Probable copper alloy lid from an Anglo-Saxon workbox. The lid is circular thin sheet of copper alloy with a central hole, containing a suspension loop. The loop consists of a single oval strip of copper alloy looped over at the top, threaded through the hole and then splayed on the reverse to secure it to the lid. Attached to the suspension loop is another small strip of copper alloy looped through the suspension loop, perhaps forming the first link in a chain. There is a further hole to either side of the central hole although it is not certain whether these are areas of damage. …

Fragment of a copper alloy whistle of Post Medieval date (AD 1500 – AD 1800). Length 49mm, diameter 5mm. Weight 3.92g. The weight includes some soil. The fragment is part of a decorated “hawking whistle”. It has been made from a single piece of sheet copper alloy which has been folded and joined by solder to form a hollow tube which is sub-circular in cross-section. The sheet has been thoughtfully cut so that the continuity of the decoration is not interrupted by the soldered seam which is clearly visible on the underside. The surface is decorated with three equally spaced longi…

A cast lead hawking whistle, probably post-medieval in date (circa 1650-1850). The whistle is cone shaped, tapering outwards from the open end. The open end of the whistle would have been the mouth piece. By looking inside the whistle one can see that the whistle is only hollow until about half of the way down the interior of the body of the whistle. There is a sheet of lead, dividing this space into two. Either side of this are the sound two holes, which would have allowed the air and therefore sound to pass down the whistle and out through these holes which are visible on the exterio…

A very worn whistle probably cast in pewter of probable post-medieval in date. The whistle is the shape of a frustum, or truncated cone, tapering outwards from the original open end. This latter would have been the mouthpiece. By looking inside one can see that the whistle is only hollow until about half of the way down the interior of the body of the whistle. Beyond this is a sheet of metal which divides the internal space into two. Central on either side of the exterior are two holes, one of which is abraded. The holes would have allowed the air to pass down the whistle and regulate…

Whetstone or hone. It is of fine grained dark stone, so may have served as a finishing hone. It is 65mm in length and has a suspension hole at the top edge. It has pronounced wear on the opposing faces. Hones were used for a long period of time, and this one may date from the 11th century, as one very similar was recovered during excavations in Exeter.
