Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but broken into two fragments, late Medieval-Victorian, wrought/forged, rusty iron chest or door key. A medium size, very rusty, relatively plain key with circular bow handle, shank with possible collar and rectangular bit. The heavy encrusted corrosion masks any fine detail but the bit could possibly consist of a nose and two bullets. Badly rusted, irregular encrusted surface but also corroded and broken right through just below the handle. This key could date between 1400-1899. Ref. Keys - Their History & Collection, Eric Monk, Shire Publications 1979, page 13-26 and Dete…

Object type: SLAG
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of tap slag of uncertain date from Roman to Post Medieval. It is dense, magnetic and black to purple in colour. It forms a thick plate which is rough and irregular on the lower face, with characteristic runs of solidified molten metal across the top face. This piece is just one small example of the many pieces recovered from the same place.
Tap-slag is slag that is 'tapped' from a bloomery furnace. This is carried out during smelting so as to allow the long continuance of the operation. It cools to a solid slag with marked flow lines. There were fewer bloomeries after the…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly complete, probably late Roman, cast, copper alloy, unidentified object. The object is flat, curled or serpentine shaped with a loop terminal for attachment or to pivot around. It looks as though it could possibly be a broken military hamata fastener, an incomplete fragment once of the serpentine form. This could have served as a fastener for the shoulder section of chain mail with a pair of ornate fasteners attached to the chest. This type of fitting was more evident in the auxilliary forces and cavalry units. The fitting has eleven hand punched ringed annulet decorations, th…

Record ID: WMID-378F33
Object type: POTTERS STAMP
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy object, probably a potter's stamp. The object is 'hourglass' shaped, with flared ends and a waisted middle. It is sub-oval and slightly concvae at one end (perhaps to fit the thumb of the potter), whilst the other end is sub-circular and has an incised cross on it, probably for creating an impression in pottery. What seem to be deliberate crude scratches in the sides of the object may perhaps also have been associated with creating a pattern on the pot. The probable stamp measures 27.37 mm long, 7.16 mm thick in the centre and 10.48 mm in diameter at the incised en…

Object type: PLUMB BOB
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead alloy plumb bob of unknown date. The object is roughly biconical; it has an elongated circular sectioned shaft with a bulbous perforated terminal at one end; the opposite end of the object terminates in a conical point. It has been decorated with a thick collar at the widest point on the body. A casting seam is visible. The material has a creamy brown-white patina, with some areas marked by a dark brown colour. No close parallel has been found for this design, but a Post Medieval date is suggested based on the similarity in shape to Post Medieval seal matrixes, and the…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A incomplete copper alloy object, probably a mount, of Medieval to Post Medieval date, c. 1200-1800 AD. The object has been fashioned from a rectangular copper alloy sheet, pressed with a repeating decoration and silvered or tinned on the decorated surface. The sheet has been pierced on one of the shorter ends with three very small circular holes, with one still potentially holding a fragment of a rivet intact; the other short end has been broken. The decoration consists of a raised series of overlapping sub-rectangular shapes with one trilobed end. A vertical line runs down the centr…
