A copper-alloy toilet spoon or ligula dating to the Roman period. At one end the object has a flat, oval scoop which extends at a 30 degree angle to the stem. The stem is circular in section and tapers slightly to a point at one end. It measures 105mm in length and the stem has a diameter of 2mm. The scoop has a length of 7mm and a width of 7mm. Small spoon probes like this were probably used to extract cosmetics from flasks, boxes and small pots and for some surgical and pharmaceutical purposes (Crummy 1983, 59).

Incomplete lead seal matrix made from a papal bulla and then cut at the end of its life to void the seal. The object was originally a circular papal bulla, as seen by depiction of a bearded face of St Paul on the left hand side of the reverse of the seal matrix. Five pellets of the left-hand field of the now missing face of St Peter are also visible, along with the lower portion of the letters S and P above, originally from the legend 'SPASPE'. The cut of the seal appears to respect the face. The seal matrix depicts an eight-petalled motif in the centre, with an incomplete inscr…

A medieval copper alloy purse bar fragment (late 15th - early 16th century). The purse is broken across the bar so one of the arms is missing. There is one arm remaining that has a globular terminal decorated with incised lines that spiral to a central point on the end. The central rectangular block is undecorated and has sustained some damage. The damage occurred in antiquity as the breaks have the same dark green patina as the surface of the object. The purse bar is also broken across the loop; the loop has been cast in one with the shank that passes through the central block. On ot…

A copper-alloy possible embossing stamp perhaps most likely to be of post medieval date. It is flat and circular in shape measuring c30mm in diameter and 3.5mm in thickness. The back face is plain and the front face has a border groove and within this a deeply grooved design. When an impression was taken of this design it became clear that it appears to be a grape vine. There is a central stem and curvilinear tendrils projecting from this which terminate in small bunches of grapes. The grape vine design indicates that this object is most likely to be post medieval rather than earlier …
