An unidentified cast copper alloy object. The object is 70.77 mm in length and circular in section. It has three sets of double mouldings equally spaced along its length. At one end is a semicircular terminal with a broken edge. Due to the unidentified nature of the object it is not possible to date it.

A long, thin cast copper-alloy object. It is rectangular in plan, and in section takes the form of a rectangle with rounded corners. Towards one end of the fragment it twists such that the wider face is perpendicular to the main body of the object. High levels of wear and corrosion make it difficult to attribute this artefact a definitive use. The attribution of a probable Roman date comes primarily from the large amounts of Roman material found in the locale.

A worn cast copper-alloy fragment of probable Roman date. The fragment is essentially rectangular both in plan and in section. It is largely undecorated on all of its faces although a number of raised ridges emerge from the obverse. Since these ridges are broken, as are the ends of the fragment, it is difficult to attribute this artefact a definitive use. The attribution of a probable Roman date comes primarily from the large amounts of Roman material found in the locale.

A cast copper alloy unidentifiable object, which is most probably late post-medieval in date or modern. The object has been formed from one solid pressed plate of copper alloy. The object is roughly rectangular in shape, but one terminal is larger and more rounded. There is a small square piece of copper alloy plate projecting from one of the longer edges of the object. There are two iron attachments on the reverse of the object. One at the narrow terminal and the other next to the rounded end. There appears to be traces of iron staining left on the concave side of the press plate. The…

A fragment of lead, which is decorated with a moulded design on one face. The fragment is flat and irregular in shape, measuring 31mm in length and 16mm in width. The front face has longitudinal mouldings which seem likely to be the folds of a robe worn by a standing individual. This fragment therefore seems to be part of a larger decorative lead object. It is perhaps most likely to be post medieval in date.

Incomplete and worn copper alloy unidentified object in the shape of a fly.

Each 'wing' is decorated with four raised pointed ovals and at the centre behind the 'nose' is a larger pointed oval. One patch of patina remains intact on the underside, which is smooth and slightly curving. For this reason Nick Griffiths comments this could be an applique for a glass beaker, though not very ancient in date (post medieval). If the metal was not in such a poo…

Cast copper alloy hand or glove, of likely 19th century date. Uncertain function. The object is hollow, and contained a blue glass stopper. The object is decorated with relief ornament, resembling the end of a sleeve, aroune the flared open socket. This has a zig-zag edge at the base of the hand, then three transverse relief bands with a pair of flowers on the wider central band. The decoration at the flared end is harder to read but again appears to incorporate zig-zags and perhaps longitudinal ribbing. The wrist of the inner (palm) face has a hole, perhaps for fixing the blue …

Cast cu-alloy object, probably casting residue from the crucible. Approximately 50% are unrecognisable, but the remaining arch resembles the bow of a Colchester one-piece fibula of the 1st century AD. Most of the spring coil is molten, but the part that crossed the head terminal of the bow is still in place(?). The other end of the bow terminates rather abruptly. This could have been a casting flaw and thus the reason why the brooch re-entered the recycling process.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Unidentified object with gilded and silvered decoration and an iron core. The object would require further cleaning to be identifiable. The object appears to have a rounded terminal and a narrower central square section. The other end appears distorted in shape and possibly broken. Traces of gilding remain in the copper alloy surface on both sides of the terminal. The central area has traces of silvering on one side. The copper alloy surface may be covering an iron core.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a copper alloy object of unknown type, probably a strap fitting most likely of Medieval date. The object forms an open U-shaped frame, although its originally form is unknown as it is broken off at the sides. The sides are concave. The reverse of the frame is flat and the upper surface convex so that it is generally D-shaped in section. There is a large circular sectioned rivet on the reverse of the lower bar in the centre. The rivet expands to form a wide, flat circular terminal. The object is heavily worn.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a decorative copper alloy object of unknown type, possibly related to horse equipment. The fragment forms a bar which alternates between being square- and lozenge-sectioned. The surfaces of the square-sectioned elements bear incised decoration, the form of which is now unclear due to wear. The object is broken off at both ends.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete copper alloy object of unknown type. The object is circular in section and hollow. It tapers from the open end, which is broken off, to the terminal. The terminal is recessed, solid, flat on the upper and lower surfaces and has a circular perforation off centre. The main body of the object is damaged close to the terminal where there is an irregular hole. There also appear to be two rivet holes, one on either side close to the broken end of the object, which retain the remains of the iron rivet.

Copper alloy object of unknown date. At one end there is an oval bow (L. 51mm. W. 17mm. Th. 3.8mm). The reverse is flat and the upper surface is convex so that this section is D-shaped in section. A tapering shaft extends from the centre of one of the long sides. The shaft tapers gradually from the junction with the bow before narrowing sharply to form a short narrow section (L. 21.2mm. W. 9.6-7-4.7mm). The reverse of the shaft is flat and the upper surface appears to have had moulded decoration now heavily worn. The remaining section is rectangular, with the shaft attached in…

Cast copper alloy unidentified object, possibly part of a toy, of probable late medieval or post medieval date (1450 – 1700 AD). The possible toy is irregular in both plan and profile; however it is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. It measures 73mm length, 21mm maximum width; has a maximum thickness of 9.5mm and weighs 27.89 grams. The possible toy is formed from several separate cast parts. These are connected by a hinge which has a central iron pin that has corroded and encased the terminals. The overall design of the possible toy is that of a lar…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of an copper-alloy object. The fragmented nature of the object makes it very difficult to identify. The object is flat with a raised decorative ridge on one side, giving it a semi-circular look with wings when viewed in cross section. The remaining decoration takes the form of three separate bands comprised of a series of ribs. Tiny traces of gilding are just visible in the gaps between the bands. The reverse of the object has the remains of a lug, presumably for attachment purposes. This object has not been dated.

Record ID: NARC-8BBBE1
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broken copper-alloy object of uncertain function. The object is very likely to be of Roman date judging from its form and patina. The object has a circular base from which stems a shaft, circular in section. The base of the object measures 19.8 mm in diameter and the shaft is 7 mm thick. The shaft has a decorative rib which is broken, but appears to have once been hexagonal in shape. The shaft is broken at its top, just above an incised line which runs around it, and it is unclear how the artefact would have developed from here. The base has the remains of what is a possible solder o…
