HAMP-BB7646: BROOCH
The upper half of a cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch (possibly Dolphin type) dating to the 1st century AD. The pierced semicircular lug is situated below the wings with a possible second lug above which has abraded through. Nothing of the axis bar or spring mechanism survives. The wings curve shallowly downwards. They are seemingly plain, though corroded and abraded at one of the wing tips. The broken bow has a tall central ridge flanked by less pronounced ridges on either side. It is broadly semicircular in cross-section, having a flat lower surface. It tapers towards the point at which it has been broken. It initially forms an angle of just over ninety degrees to the head before starting to curve round in a shallow arc. The brooch has corroded to a variable mid-green colour. What survives of the bow has been bent to one side as a result of old damage.

HAMP-B94734: BELL
A post-medieval 'crotal' (animal) bell cast in copper alloy, broken into two unequal parts (17th century). The upper half has two sound holes c. 2mm in diameter, both not fully filed. As a result of old damage the bell has broken through one of those holes in a ragged break extending to each side to the two sound holes on the lower hemisphere. These latter abut the central casting seam and are far larger (c. 7-8mm). They are joined together by a slot and are perpendicular to those on the upper half. On both sides of the slot is a moulded cherub with a face flanked by wings that also travel below. Diagonal incisions pick out the feathers. A similar design can be found illustrated in Bailey (1995, 40-41; ref. 15), where it is dated to the 17th century; other examples have been recorded on this database - refs. BH-6FCF27, HAMP-13B657. The upper surface is decorated with common 'sunburst' pattern, seemingly formed of lobes but with longitudinal lines of large pellets. The corroded iron pea survives within the bell. The suspension loop is integral and sub-rectangular with an angled top (8.75 x 14.2 x 7.1mm). It features a circular perforation that has extended through the top of the bell. The bell has a variable dark-green surface. The weight given below is a combined one.

HAMP-A79A43: PIN
The slightly squashed head of a copper-alloy pin with spherical decoration of early post-medieval date (c. 16th century AD). It is divided into hemispheres by a filigree median band. In both hemispheres are three adjoining filigrees circles each with a further three circles within around a raised central pellet. There is a large knop at the centre of the upper hemisphere. On the lower hemisphere the circular-section shaft emerges from this point, but is now vestigial. There are further knops where the circles' circumferences meet with a small filigree circle below each. This trefoil motif can be found paralleled directly in examples found in Norwich (Margeson 1993, 10; refs. 26, 27) and recorded on this database, e.g. ref. HAMP-A136D5. This artefact has corroded to a dull red-brown colour, obvious on the shaft and the knops, with much of the head covered in off-white and light-green corrosion product. Very slight traces of gilt are present in places.

HAMP-A71080: COIN

HAMP-A2C8B4: BELL
A fragment from a post-medieval animal bell ('crotal') cast in copper alloy. It comes from the lower half of the bell, an area extending from one side of the sound slot, seen as a broadly straight edge. It is decorated with overlapping moulded semicircles forming a pattern known as 'fish scale'. The semicircles on the fish scale pattern decrease in size as they travel from the median seam end to the slot. The 'fish scale' decoration dates this crotal to the 16th or 17th centuries (Bailey 1995, 40-41; ref. 7), see also ref. HAMP-123118 on this database. It is now a light-grey colour suggestive of a high tin content. The breaks are ragged, the result of old damage.

HAMP-BFAAF7: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy La Tène I Iron Age brooch (3rd-4th century BC). The brooch is broken at its head with the pin and the spring mechanism lost. From the head (2.5mm wide) the bow curves through ninety degrees, expanding as it does so. The bow reaches a maximum thickness of 6.55mm. It tapers into the foot which curves back on itself terminating in a circle which is decorated with a small central circular recess. The integral catchplate survives well to the right (when looking with the bow uppermost). The bow is decorated with main raised vertical ridge with two shallow vertical grooves running along the bows length either side. The central ridge is decorated with two lines of triangular recesses facing each other. The brooch can be compared with an example illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 288; ref. 4)

HAMP-BF7481: WEIGHT
A cast lead weight of uncertain date. The object is sub-pyramidal in that it has a truncated, flat top. This gives it a trapezoidal cross-section. On the upper surface the square top has a raised X with a pellet in each. Between the square top and the base are four trapezoidal sides, two of which has a raised cross. A similar weight can be found in Biggs and Withers (2000, 29; ref. 62).

HAMP-BCFE46: BROOCH
A complete cast copper-alloy sexfoil brooch with of Medieval date c. 1200 - 1500. The brooch is sexfoil in plan and triangular in cross section.

The head projects outwards from the wings at 90° and consists of three horizontal panels, the two outer panels are decorated with a central groove and diagonal incised lines. Along the centre of the bow is a wide flat mid-rib. This mid-rib has slightly raised sides (to give a rib effect) and raised diagonal lines in the centre. The two channels either side of the mid-rib are apparently plain. At the base of the bow are two pairs of thin horizontal ribs, possibly with additional incised decoration and below this the lower bow extends in a curve. Either edge slopes downwards from a central ridge. Below this, and standing vertical, is a plain square panel. The foot - a circular rib and rounded terminal knob - extend below. The catchplate extends from the base of the curve and behind the foot. Cf. Bayley and Butcher 2004, fig.50. The Aucissa brooch (so-called after a number that have been discovered with the maker's name scratched on the head) was introduced with the army in AD 43 and is often known as the 'soldier's brooch' as it appears widely on military sites during the first phase (to AD 70). It has also been found on non-military sites however, and it is likely the type was copied by local manufacturers.

HAMP-A8A424: FINGER RING
A cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable Medieval date. It is missing its setting, but is otherwise complete. The hoop is oval shaped in section and expands to a sub-triangular bezel. There are three circular recesses within the oval bezel, presumably to hold either paste or a setting, the setting is missing. This form of 'Stirrup-Shaped' finger ring is noted by Egan and Pritchard as being popular in England from the mid-12th century for several hundred years, although perhaps only fashionable until the mid-13th century (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: pp. 326-327). A similar example preserving the cabochon setting is noted from Medieval London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1609). This suggests a date for the current example in the 12th-15th centuries AD.

HAMP-A87CB8: BRACELET
A fragment probably from a late Roman cast copper-alloy bracelet. The fragment is curved in plan. It is broadly semicircular in cross-section as revealed at the breaks; neither terminal is present. The shallowly convex upper surface is decorated simply with transverse incisions, now faint as a result of wear. The object now has a variable mid-green patina with only some corrosion. Black lacquer is visible on both faces.

HAMP-A83753: HARNESS MOUNT
A Medieval cast copper-alloy enameled and gilded horse harness mount. The mount is lozengeform in plan with an extended base to form a hinge formed by folding the plates with a slot in it to form two loops which hold the now missing axis bar. There are two perforations on the main body of the mount, one by the hinge the other located by the tip of the lozengeform mount. The plate on the reverse is partially incomplete, broken adjacent to the rivet next to the hinge. The main body of the mount if decorated with a raised Fleur-de-lis surrounded by blue enamel. The tip of the Fleur-de-lis points towards the tip of the harness mount. There is some evidence of gilding on the hinge.

HAMP-A61583: BUCKLE
An incomplete and damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet buckle plate. It is broadly rectangular in plan and narrows slightly towards the attachment end. The other end is recessed to accommodate the frame and is incomplete, there is a central notch for the pin at this end. A copper alloy rivet is visible within the central perforation, a further four perforations are visible one located at each corner. The plate has been bent inwards slightly on the front face. The reverse face has been bent inwards in places and c. 20% is missing.

HAMP-970AF3: BUCKLE
A worn and corroded, complete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of 'D's that incurve towards the pin bar. The pin bar has a sub-triangular cross-section, the pin survives. The reverse is flat.

HAMP-970785: COIN
A worn and incomplete early 15th-century silver medieval Venetian soldino of Doge Michele Steno, minted in Venice between 1400 and 1413 AD. The coin has a ragged circumference in places.

HAMP-966B07: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A complete copper-alloy with iron core unidentified object, possibly a furniture fitting of possible Roman date. The artefact is circular in cross section and has a tapering conical tip. The top of the artefact has a flat circular section at the tip with a protruding corroded iron shank. The artefact has a raised median band adjacent to two concave bands before expanding towards the conical tip. Iron corrosion product is visible at the tip.

HAMP-963005: COIN
A slightly bent late 12th-/early 13th-century medieval silver penny of William I (1195-1214) of Scotland, voided short cross type, Phase A, struck by the moneyer Raul at Roxburgh mint (1195 - c. 1205 AD; Spink 5027). This coin has a hairline crack across its centre but otherwise survives very well.

HAMP-95BA75: BUCKLE
A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. It is formed of a pair of oval loops. They are steeply bevelled externally on the upper surface, bevelling echoed internally on the lower. The two loops are decorated with four shallow horizontal grooves. The pin bar is narrowed and of a circular cross-section. The buckle has been bent upwards slightly at either end.

HAMP-959464: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval buckle with folded plate. The buckle is a single loop D-shape with a narrow offset pin bar. The pin survives. The plate is rectangular in plan, the upper face is 10.25mm wide, the lower face is 7.5mm wide. Two copper-alloy rivets survive at the tip of the strap bar.

HAMP-955FC8: BROOCH
Roman cast copper-alloy developed T-shaped brooch with hinged pin dating to c. AD 75-150. The pin is mostly missing. The brooch head has open-ended cylindrical wings, these hold the axis bar for the hinged pin. A white paste/cement is visible at the ends. There is a large transverse slot through the centre of the underside of the head, between the wings, where the remnants of the pin survive. The triangular copper alloy pin head is still in situ but the pin has broken off just behind the head. At the top of the head is a small rectangular tab with a broken, worn upper edge, possibly the remains of the head loop. The bow is triangular in section with a flat back,and a ridge running down the centre of the front. In the centre of the bow it expands into a flattened lozenge shape. This shape is decorated on the front with two indented triangles, arranged base to base, surrounded by a indented lozenge shaped border. These indents may have previously held enamel. The bow tapers gradually but consistently in width and thickness from the head to the plain rounded foot, apart from the central expansion. On the back is the remains of the trapezoid catchplate with a curved upper edge, straight lower edge, stepped in slightly from the foot. The outer side is thickened and would have been curled over to make the catch for the pin. Bailey and Butcher (2004:159) suggest the presence of a head loop indicates a date in the later first - early 2nd century AD (c75-150). Similar examples were found in excavations at Shepton Mallett (Mackreith 2001:190 fig 52) no.42-3, the former from a mid-2nd to mid-3rd century context has orange enamel surviving in the upper triangle. Examples on this database have been recorded in Wiltshire WILT-B08248 and WILT-A34EE4. Two similar examples are recorded by Hattatt (2000), nos. 918 and 919, one from East Anglia and one form Wiltshire.

HAMP-954720: STRAP FITTING
Cast copper alloy strap fitting (belt mount) of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700). The openwork strap fitting is irregular in plan. The overall decorative design consists of an openwork square at the tip adjacent to an old break. Below this is a broadly oval expansion which terminates in a circular knop. The oval expansion is concave on the reverse and the openwork square is flat. There are two sub rectangular projections which extend from either end of the oval expansion. The strap fitting has been bent outwards slightly.

HAMP-94F262: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, only the pin bar and slight vestiges of the oval loops. The pin bar is slightly bent and square in cross section, iron corrosion is visible in places along the pin bar, presumably from the pin, which is now missing. At both ends of the pin bar is a moulded knopped protrusion.

HAMP-94EE34: BUCKLE
A damaged and incomplete medieval composite buckle with integral hollow box plate cast in copper alloy (15th century AD). The frame is almost entirely missing apart from part of the side at the junction, bent downwards as a result of of old damage. The extant frame consists of a rectangular strip that curves out very slightly at the external side of which is an elaborate scrolled moulding with recessed areas. At the junction of frame and plate is an oval perforation; although the pin is missing one can see damage it caused pulling the thin strip beyond the perforation. The junction is thickened compared to the frame (5.3mm, compared to 2.35mm), although slightly recessed on its lower surface. Its upper surface features three transverse ridges with grooves between, some interrupted by the perforation. The plate beyond is trapezoidal, widening from a width of 27.0mm at the frame end to 29.8mm at the attachment end. It is hollow to accommodate the strap which was held in place by a pair of rivets at the attachment end. The box plate has been squashed slightly as a result of old damage. On its upper surface the plate is decorated with an incised crude 'elaborate' quatrefoil, crude because one of the petals has not been rendered. Each of the three petals has a central groove. The quatrefoil is described as elaborate due to the smaller protrusions that emerge at the internal cusps. The design is situated, for the most part, within longitudinal border lines. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 37; ref. 218) and Fingerlin (1971, 169; ref. 286). This example has a dark-grey colour with patches of lighter corrosion product and evidence of tinning on the upper surface.

HAMP-949D75: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper-alloy enameled finger-ring of Roman date. The upper surface of the bezel contains an oval setting in a quatrefoil which defines four lozengeform cells with a central circular cell. Three of the lozengeform cells retain traces of red enamel. The shoulders taper smoothly into the hoop, the majority of which is missing.

HAMP-944663: PURSE
An incomplete medieval cast copper-alloy purse hanger. This is a three arched example formed of a large semicircle flanked by two smaller ones; one of the side semicircles survive, the second is incomplete. There are moulded cusps in the external angles between the arches, delineated by incised diagonal lines on the upper surface. The central arch has a closed top with a short prong at each end, within which an inverted keyhole-shaped opening. The extant terminal is slightly recessed for a bar mount hook beyond a moulding; beyond this is a collared knop. The artefact has a dark-grey patina. The lower surface is flat and without the mouldings of the front. A parallel can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 223; ref. 1197); these date to the second half of the 14th century. A similar example on the database HAMP-5728D8.

HAMP-93C514: TOKEN
A worn, uninscribed uniface cast lead token of post-medieval date with central pellet surrounded by a nine petalled flower. It has been bent slightly.

HAMP-935C51: BROOCH
An incomplete Late Iron Age/ early Roman (AD 20-80) copper- alloy Colchester one-piece brooch missing the majority of the catchplate, the spring and pin. The wings are flat and rectangular. No decoration is visible on the bow which tapers towards the tip. Behind the wings is one coil of the spring and a forward facing hook. The majority of the catchplate is missing, a fragment survives.

HAMP-92F3B4: VESSEL
A copper-alloy pot leg of Medieval to early post-Medieval date. The steeply-angled leg has a broadly oval cross section with slightly flattened sides. the foot is flat at the bottom and widens towards the tip. A parallel for this leg - suggested to be from a small cauldron, ewer or jug - was found in excavations in Winchester (Biddle 1990: 956/fig. 293, no. 3397), in a late 15th to early 16th century context. Another similar leg came from an early 15th century context in London (Egan 1998: 166/fig. 132, no. 459) and is recorded as probably being part of a tripod ewer.

HAMP-928B78: FURNITURE FITTING
An incomplete copper-alloy probable furniture fitting of Medieval date. The fitting is broadly D shaped in cross section, at the old break a circular perforation is visible, the fitting then expands slightly before tapering to the now incomplete tip. Adjacent to the old break along the perforation is a raised horizontal band. The fitting is decorated with two shallow incised grooves which form a V, two circular recess es are visible either side of the V before it tapers towards the tip. The fitting continues to narrow before expanding slightly, and decoration is too worn to discern, after the expansion the fitting tapers towards the old break. The fitting is probably a box binding of 14th-century date. The artefact has a mid brown patina.

HAMP-9219C5: HARNESS FITTING
A complete cast copper-alloy gilded medieval harness fitting with a zoomorphic terminal. The harness fitting is broadly oval in plan and broadly oval in cross section. The top of the fitting is 3.15mm wide and thickens towards the main body of the fitting (10.1mm wide) which has been curved inwards on itself on either end void which is 2.3mm wide at the beginning of the void. There is a copper-alloy rivet at the point where the fitting is widest which is visible on the reverse. The fitting then tapers towards the zoomorphic terminal which has been bent upwards slightly. The terminal which has two deep semi-circular incisions above the terminal depict ears. Below the end is moulded to form an animal's head, with a narrowing to form the snout, formed by removals to each side.

HAMP-91D130: PURSE
A corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval purse bar of early 16th-century date (Geake 2001, 42). The object consists of a central block with both extending bars present; the loop and frame are missing. Through the 'shield-shaped' block there is a circular perforation c. 5.2mm in diameter through which the shank of the loop would have travelled. The central block is rectangular in cross-section; the circular perforation to take the shank is off centre. It has bevelled edges towards the rove, 7.9mm in diameter on the lower surface. The block is 16.3mm long, 11.6mm wide and 12.6mm thick. On one of the large faces are two punched depressions, possibly with a crown above; much is obscured due to corrosion. Both bars have a square cross-section with rounded corners as they emerge from the block (c. 7mm). They are then recessed before its terminal to accommodate the frame; beyond is a globular terminal. The bars are of slightly differing lengths, 14.2 and 16.5mm respectively. The bar is largely covered in variable mid/light-green and off-white corrosion product over a red-brown metal. It can be best classified as Ward-Perkins' (1940, 167) type B1.

HAMP-90C4B2: COIN
A very worn, damaged and incomplete mid-14th century silver medieval halfpenny probably of Edward III's Third 'florin' coinage, London mint (c. 1344 - c. 1351 AD; possibly North 1132). This coin has lost over a third of its flan due to old damage. What survives has been bent resulting in some fracturing at the edges.

HAMP-7E58A2: COIN
An extremely worn, incomplete and bent probable silver medieval penny of uncertain ruler and mint (c. 1279 - c. 1509 AD). The coin has been pierced, possibly for conversion into an item of jewellery. It has been broken and bent at the circumference resulting in significant losses.

HAMP-7DFEB0: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded 3rd-/4th-century copper-alloy Roman radiate or nummus of uncertain ruler, possible standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 286 - c. 317 AD; probably Reece issue period 14 or 15)

HAMP-7BB753: TOKEN
An extremely worn and corroded, slightly bent possible 17th-century copper-alloy post-medieval token farthing of uncertain issuer (c. 1648 - c. 1672 AD)

HAMP-6CAD57: BROOCH
The object is formed from a silver penny of William I (1066-1087) which has been modified into a brooch or badge. The reverse has been gilded, and brooch fittings attached by four rivets arranged at the points of a rectangle. Parts of the fittings survive on the obverse face which has overspill of gilding at its circumference. The coin is a silver penny of the Sword type (1077-1080; North 846), issued by the moneyer Leofing of Winchester (Biddle et al. 2012, 392; ref. 1974). Obv: [+Þ]ILLEM REX [I] Rev: + LIFINC ON P[IN]CSI Die axis: 12 o'clock The brooch is typical of a type of coin brooch which appears to have been particularly fashionable from the middle of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) to some time in the reign of William I (1066-1087). While it is impossible to say exactly how soon after the coins were issued they were converted into brooches, it appears that this took place while each coin type was still current, which would mean no more than two or three years between the issue of the coin and the manufacture of the brooch, placing this example some time in the mid to late 1050s. At least twenty-one other examples are known, of which eighteen have been published. Dimensions: Dia.: 19 mm; weight: 1.53 g The Treasure status of objects of this type hinges on the fact that the coin has been converted into a brooch. A single coin would not normally be considered as Treasure, whereas a single brooch would be. Although the majority of the brooch fittings are lost, or have been removed, the gilding remains, as does part of the back-plate of the brooch fitting. It is therefore my view that this object should be viewed as a brooch rather than a coin. The brooch has not been subjected to metallurgical analysis, but coins of this period routinely have a high silver content, with even the basest examples normally being well in excess of 50%. This would be enhanced very slightly by the gilding. There is therefore no reason to doubt that the precious metal content of this brooch is well in excess of the 10% threshold specified by the Treasure Act (1996). Equally there is no doubt that the object, dating from the 11th century, is more than three hundred years old, while there is no surviving indication of the original ownership of the object. On all three counts, therefore, the brooch in my opinion represents a prima facie case of Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996), and should therefore be declared Treasure.

HAMP-6C0603: COIN
A worn 13th-century silver medieval cut farthing of Henry III, struck by an uncertain moneyer at Canterbury mint (1248-1275 AD; Long voided cross Class 4-5)

HAMP-6B8E64: SWORD
A hollow cast copper-alloy pommel from a post-medieval sword (c. 17th century AD). The artefact is circular in plan. It is globular with a flared and flattened base. It has a central perforation measuring c. 8.5mm at the base and 5.1mm at the flattened top. The hole at the top was presumably to accommodate a separate finial which is now missing. There is a further perforation c. 3.4mm in diameter just above the base and the recessed slot above it; this would have taken an element from the sword's handle. The outer surface is decorated in low relief depicting a figure seated left within a border, repeated at opposing sides of the pommel. The figure has their legs outstretched with the knees pulled up slightly, the left arm behind their back and the right arm extended, holding a branch (or similar). The border consists of chevrons at the sides, outside of which, above and below, are scrolls that meet below the figure in a double transverse ridge and above in an ?oval. The object is now a red-brown colour, overlaid by variable green corrosion product. The artefact is similar in form to a pommel recorded on this database, ref. NARC-471D15, but is directly comparable to a 17th-century sword pommel quoted therein displayed at Kettering Museum.

HAMP-6AB451: COIN
A worn and slightly clipped late 16th-century silver post-medieval penny of Elizabeth I, third issue, London mint (1595-1598 AD; North 2017)

HAMP-676C73: COIN

HAMP-033CE4: PURSE
A corroded and slightly twisted cast copper-alloy fragment of the pendant frame of a late medieval or early post-medieval purse (Ward Perkins Type A2). This object is broadly V-shaped in cross section, though the exterior side gently slopes whilst the interior side falls away more steeply. On the outer side there are traces of incised decoration, which features the word 'HONOR' flanked to each side by scrolled motifs; the interior side is undecorated. This artefact has a dark-green patina over a red/brown metal with areas of lighter corrosion product.

HAMP-0326F7: BROOCH
A corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch of Late Iron Age or early Roman date (1st century AD). At the head, the wings are plain flat rectangular pieces with angled outer ends (12.9mm in total width). From the centre of the underside of the head projects an upper bar that tapers to a point which is bent round on itself to meet the front of the bow creating a loop to hold the external chord; this is flat to the bow beyond the chord. Below the bar starts the integral spring. The spring has the coils on the right side (lower surface, head uppermost), the end one of which continues into the external chord 15.5mm wide, but bent. There are similarly three coils on the left side, the innermost of which continues as the pin, slightly bent and truncated. This side has been pushed forward; the other side has been squashed in. The bow rises at 90 degrees from the head before curving through about 65/70 degrees to a high point before curving gradually to the foot. Its upper and lower surfaces are flat and the sides rounded. It tapers in width and thickness to the foot. The foot has been twisted to one side as a result of old damage. It is lower than the head but in a similar plane to the spring mechanism. On the underside of the foot are the worn remains of the catch-plate, sub-triangular in form and abraded (web L.: 12.45mm). The brooch has corroded to a red/brown colour with areas of green corrosion product. There is a small group of transverse nicks at the centre of the lower surface.

HAMP-02F662: STRAP FITTING
A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a pair of short pointed internal projections. It is sub-trapezoidal in shape with slightly rounded corners. The artefact has a sligh rounded projection on the outer face. The projections lie closer to the inner edge. A similar example can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234; ref. 1263) assigned to a late 14th-century context. This object has corroded to a dark-grey colour with small patches of off-white corrosion product.

HAMP-02C484: COIN
A worn 13th-century silver medieval cut half penny possibly of Henry III, uncertain moneyer, London mint (Short cross class 7; 1217 - 1242 AD)

HAMP-02AE47: SPOON
A slightly corroded fragment from a cast copper-alloy bowl from a Roman spoon. The bowl is of the mandolin-shaped form. Very little of the bowl survives; it is broken with a ragged break just as it is starting to expand. It turns through ninety degrees into the handle. At this end it is decorated with a pair of low transverse ridges on its upper surface; beyond this it is dished. The lower surface of the bend features the beginnings of the tenon/handle which grows from a point, twisted at the break. At the this point the lower surface is flat before angling. As with other examples of Roman spoon bowls of this form (see Crummy 1979, 70; refs. 2018-2019), this spoon has broken at this weak point of the junction between handle and bowl. Crummy (1979, 69) states that this type of bowl was produced throughout the Roman period.

HAMP-0299D8: COIN
A very worn 13th-century silver medieval cut farthing of Henry III, uncertain moneyer and mint (Long voided cross class V; 1250 - 1275 AD).

HAMP-025E77: BROOCH
A cast copper-alloy Roman plate brooch inlaid with enamel, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin (c. 2nd century AD). The brooch is in the form of an elongated stylised palm leaf which curves to one side at its tip. From the centre of the wide end a stalk emerges which ends in an expanded terminal (W.: 9.75mm). Within the main field, just above the stalk is an annulet inlaid with red enamel. The main field is inlaid with blue enamel, now cracked and crazed, but surviving well. Both the border and the annulet are decorated with fine punch marks. The lower surface is flat, except for the pin lug and catch-plate, located at either ends of a low longitudinal strip. The pin lug is located at the start of the stalk, slightly to one side. Within a double lug are the corroded remains of the iron axis bar. The catch-plate, towards the tip, has a length of 6.5mm and a width of 1.4mm. It is broadly trapezoidal and the fold has been abraded. This brooch has a mid/dark-green patina with some areas of lighter corrosion product. It has been bent downwards at the tip as a result of old damage. The form is seemingly a rare one, difficult to parallel in the main literature, but as ref. BUC-415350 on this database.

HAMP-014D55: BROOCH
A corroded and incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy plate brooch of probable 2nd-century AD date. The incomplete brooch has a central lozenge shaped plate with rounded corners. One circular knop, with blue enamel survives and projects from one of the side apexes. Parallels suggest there were originally knops on the other three corners, now lost to worn old breaks. In the centre of the plate is a projecting oval moulded into a face with transverse incised mouth, projecting nose, two worn raised eyes in recessed eye sockets and prominent brows/hairline. The upper part of the head or hair has a vertical incised line down the centre and the top of the head is stepped slightly forward from the oval raised section. The face is itself placed on a raised oval border. The back of the central plate is hollowed and there is the remains of a projecting catch-plate on the broken side apex. On the extant side knop is a double pin lug with rounded top, perforated to take the axis bar which is now missing. One of the lugs in particular has broken at the top and is in an abraded state. This all suggests the brooch was worn with the pin set horizontally in order for the face to be upright, this is the common orientation on these brooches. The artefact is now slightly corroded with a fairly even mid-green patina. Six similar brooches have been recorded on the database two from Somerset, one from the Vale of Glamorgan and four (including this one) from Wiltshire: SOM-F6B841, NMGW-FABA51, WILT-4BF5B6, WILT-1617A7, SOM-397742 and NMGW-FC9E20. There are also examples in Hattatt (2000, 356; refs. 1276A and 1656). These examples are from Hampshire and Thetford, Gloucestershire, respectively.

HAMP-56DCD2: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman chatelaine plate brooch. It is missing much of the plate, the catch plate, suspension bar, one bar lug and the pin due to old breaks. The plate has been bent backwards and has a crack running adjacent to the domed central conical knop. The surviving portion is sub-rectangular in plan. The brooch has a domed central conical knob with a central projecting globular knop with five triangular enameled cells and five oval enamel led cells. The triangular cells are filled with a red enamel, the oval cells are filled with two blue enamel cells and three yellow enamel cells. The plate area above the domed knob is missing due to old breaks, a section of the lower half survives intact on the left hand side. It is decorated with five surviving triangular cells and four corresponding inverted triangular cells. The lower triangular cells are filled with red enamel, the inverted triangular cells are filled with alternating yellow and blue enamel. At the base of the plate is preserved a single integral, rectangular lug with a central circular perforation to hold the now missing suspension bar. The corresponding lug on the opposite side of the plate is missing due to old breaks. The back face of the plate is flat and has been bent inwards slightly due to the old breaks. There is a hollow/concave area behind the central domed area. At the bottom end of the back face is an integral double lug from which the pin would have hinged, the pin and the catch plate are missing. The fragment is from a Roman plate brooch of Chatelaine type dating to between the 1st and mid-3rd centuries AD (c.80-250 AD). It would have originally held a small transverse suspension bar from which would have hung toilet articles such as tweezers, and it is probable that the now missing upper half of the plate would have been rounded with projecting integral lugs. Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt (1989, refs. 603, 1081-1082), who notes that this type of brooch appears to be native to Britain and largely confined to the south of the country (Hattatt 1985, 169-170).

HAMP-D9C5C3: BUTTON
A complete post-medieval cast copper-alloy (tombac) button with central pimple. The front is domed and plain apart from the pimple. The back is flat with a separate drawn wire which has been made into a loop and soldered in place. The button has now corroded to a dark green colour with small patches of light-green corrosion product in places. Similar buttons can be found illustrated in Bailey (2004, 35).

HAMP-D98B52: BROOCH
The leg and foot from a broken cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch (1st/2nd century AD, possibly T-shaped or Trumpet). Perhaps around half of the brooch survives, the lower half. It tapers gradually from the break to the bow (W.: 6.7mm) to just above the expanded foot knob (W.: 4.3mm). The foot is therefore broadly trapezoidal in plan. Its upper surface is plain within the bounds of the foot knob and a double transverse ridge which marks the end of the bow, in addition to longitudinal grooved border. It is bevelled thus giving it a triangular cross-section. The foot knob has a central ridge, higher than those that flank it above and below; grooves divide the ridges. On the lower surface, the broadly triangular catch-plate survives well. Its web extends c. 27.9mm up the leg in total. The lower surface of the fold is decorated by an incised zig zag line. The brooch is covered in fine file marks. It now has an even mid-green patina.

HAMP-D893D5: TRIAL PIECE
A possible lead trial piece for a medieval seal matrix. The object is pointed oval in plan with a rectangular protrusion at one narrow end. In profile the protrusion can be seen to be an integral handle, solid and rounded on the upper surface. The main surfaces of the object are flat and plain with bevelling to the sides of the upper. The object has corroded to a variable off-white colour.

HAMP-D7F925: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded probable 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate of uncertain ruler, probable standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 275 - c. 296 AD; probably Reece issue period 14)

HAMP-C73DE5: STRAP END
A bent copper-alloy sheet artefact, probably half of a two-piece strap end of medieval date. The object is sub-trapezoidal, with a flat attachment end, tapering sides and an angled off bottom. It has a pair of perforations at the attachment end; one iron rivet survives, corroded in place. The outer surface is decorated with incised lines which perhaps represent a beast with gaping jaws, the jaws being towards the attachment end. A possible stippled body can be seen beyond, with a possible hind leg beyond this. The artefact has a variable mid-green patina. It has been bent as a result of old damage downwards and to one side, around a third of the way along from the attachment end, with further slight lateral bending at the tip. For a two-piece strap-end of similar form and decoration see Egan and Pritchard (1991, 139; ref. 645); for the beast cf. also WMID-61F865 on this database.

HAMP-C45DD0: COSMETIC PESTLE
A fairly elaborate cast copper-alloy end-looped cosmetic pestle of late Iron Age/Roman date. The object has a pronounced hooked bow and moulded loop. The loop is flattened at the attachment end with a transverse notch just above the junction on the outer surface. Above the loop is rounded around a circular perforation (Dia.: 4.3mm). The shaft emerges from the centre of the loop, 5.85mm thick and expanding immediately in width to 5.8mm. Emerging initially from the plane of the loop it begins to sag down slightly before angling down at a steeper angle, of about forty-five degrees on the lower edge, emphasised by a transverse nick c. 15.9mm after the loop. The return is longer on the lower surface than the lower surface; the upper surface has a regular U-shaped profile. The terminal tapers to a sharp point at the same height as the point at which it began travelling downwards steeply. The artefact has a variable mid-green patina. Such objects can be dated to the late Iron Age to early Roman periods (1st-2nd century AD). These mortar and pestle sets would probably have been used to grind minerals for make-up and were uniquely British. For end-looped pestles see Jackson (1985, 180; fig. 6).

HAMP-9A92F7: BROOCH
A corroded, damaged and incomplete, copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch, dating to the late Iron Age to early Roman period (c. 25 - c. 60 AD). It retains its rearward facing hook at the top of the head; along with half the length of the integral spring which has been coiled three times. The pin no longer survives along with the rest of the spring mechanism; part of the axis bar survives within the coils. The wings are minimal, sub-rectangular and flat; 11.1mm wide in total. The bow turns through about 100 degrees at the head, into the bow. It has been bent back the other way at a similar angle just above the catch-plate as a result of old damage. The back of the bow has only highly abraded vestiges of the catch-plate. This brooch is has corroded to a dull red/brown colour with patches of dark-green corrosion product. It has also received a recent strike.

HAMP-99B3B2: COIN

HAMP-7D3A43: COIN
A worn and corroded 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate of Carausius, 'PROVID AVG', C mint (286-293 AD; The obverse legend IMP CARAVSIVS P I F AVG is probably a die engraver's error. Reece issue period 14; cf. R.I.C. cf 348). This coin has been off struck on the reverse. This coin is included in Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.

HAMP-7CCD98: COIN
A very worn and slightly bent mid 14th-century silver medieval penny of Edward III, 4th coinage, Pre-Treaty period, probably Series D, Durham mint (c. 1352 - c. 1353 AD; probably North 1159). This coin has suffered circumferential losses as well as some probable clipping.

HAMP-CA13A8: VESSEL
An abraded base sherd possibly from a Roman vessel. It has an irregular shape. It is has a flat base with little sagging. One wall emerges at an angle of c. 140 degrees. The vessel has a light-grey interior but is an oxidised mid/light-orange colour on the internal surface, greyer on the base. It has fairly even shell tempering with some fragments up to c. 2.5mm long. It may be from the Roman kilns at Harrold, however a medieval date cannot be ruled out entirely.

HAMP-C86D15: BUCKLE
A slightly corroded, incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of ovals which incurve towards the pin bar. The upper surface of the artefact is bevelled; the lower surface mirrors this with its shallow internal bevelling. Viewed in profile one can see that one loop has been bent upwards at an angle of around 60 degrees, accentuated at the outer edge. This is probably as a result of use exacerbated by old damage. The bar has a trapezoidal cross-section; the pin itself is missing. The upper surface is decorated with a moulded vine scroll ornament cast within a sunken field. There is a design of floral type at each outer edge with swags that meet at the centre. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 68) where they are dated to the period 1550-1650 AD; see this database for a similar example - HAMP-D9C4B3. The object has a dark grey/green colour with some patches of corroded green metal showing in places.

HAMP-C82D56: COIN
An extremely worn and clipped 15th-century medieval silver penny of uncertain ruler, uncertain mint (local dies). This coin has suffered a slight nick at one point of its circumference.

HAMP-C78E51: BELL
A fragment from a post-medieval spherical animal bell ('crotal') cast in copper alloy. The fragment consists of part of the lower half, with ragged breaks and one broadly straight edge - the sound slot - unfiled at one point. A shield shaped cartouche abuts the slot and bears a T-shaped, possible 'founder's hammer' motif. Such a mark suggests a late 16th- or early 17th-century date for this artefact (cf. Bailey 1995, 40-41). The lower half beyond is decorated with a leaf pattern, with fronds converging on the cartouche. The bell has a mid-grey patina with areas of off-white corrosion product, more so internally.

HAMP-C6E988: SPINDLE WHORL
A worn and corroded, broadly circular cast lead object, possibly a spindle whorl or other weight. The whorl is flat on both surfaces with a rectangular cross-section. It is basic and has suffered corrosion and bending and is 'decorated' with crude angular punch marks all over both surface. The artefact has a large central hole with a diameter of c. 8.8mm. The hole has a ridge around it on both surfaces presumably a product of its creation. The object is c. 4.5mm thick and weighs 21.98g. It has been pointed out that the weight of a spindle whorl is suggestive of the thickness of yarn produced, with lighter spindle whorls (3-5 grams) being used for spinning cotton and the heavier ones (30-35 grams) for spinning wool (Margeson 1993, 184). It is uncertain, therefore, as to what might have been spun using this object, although the likelihood is that it would have been used for wool, if anything. The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult and a wide date range is therefore offered.

HAMP-C62CD5: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper-alloy oval double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The artefact has a narrow central pin bar. The sides of the upper surface are bevelled gradually internally and gently to the exterior; the lower surface is slightly concave. The buckle is decorated through the creation of segments on the upper surface through transverse grooving. There is a segment at each end of the pin bar, flanked by a further segment to each side. There are a further three transverse grooves at each outer edge, the central of which could have acted as a pin rest. Traces of brown corrosion product on one outer edge and at the centre of the pin bar suggests that the pin was made of iron. The buckle has corroded to a red-brown colour with patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 48).

HAMP-C61E73: BUCKLE
A broken and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, now missing its pin and the majority of one of its loops (17th century AD). The sub-rectangular loops are generally flat, with some external bevelling to the outer edge which is echoed internally on the lower surface. The pin bar has a broadly square cross-section. At each end of the pin bar are low rounded knops. Only vestiges of the broken loop survive, both bent upwards slightly as a result of old damage. The buckle has corroded to a red-brown metal with some patches of light-green corrosion product. Whitehead (1996, 57) illustrates similar buckles, which he dates to the 17th century, which he suggests might be from a baldrick.

HAMP-C5D1C4: COIN

A 10th-century silver early-medieval penny of Eadgar (959-975 AD), circumscription cross type, struck at Winchester by Leofric (pre-reform phase, 959 - c. 973 AD; North 749 var.; EMC 2012.0123).

HAMP-454CE4: STRAP FITTING
A cast copper-alloy strap junction of medieval date. The central element is quadrilobate, formed of a ring with a rounded lobe at each cardinal point. Between each lobe an attachment loop would have looped round the ring, three attachment loops now survive. Each lobe has a groove coming in from each side towards its base. This, in conjunction with grooves that radiate out from the centre of the base give a scallop shell effect. The lower surface of the ring is flat and plain. Each attachment loop is of the same construction; they vary slightly in size. They are formed of strips folded round on themselves in a deep U shape (in profile). The terminal of the upper end is expanded and rounded. A rivet travels through the centre of these latter to connect them to the ends of the loops which are very slightly expanded to accommodate them. The upper surfaces of the terminals of the upper ends are decorated with radial grooves around the rivet that echo those on the lobes. Below the rivets is a similar groove, again coming in from both sides, followed by a transverse ridge before the strips narrow. The overall effect of the decoration is reminiscent of zoomorphic mounts that tend to be decorated with cross-hatching rather the radiating grooves (e.g. Griffiths et al. 2007, 121; ref. 130). Other medieval strap junctions have been recorded on this database, of slightly different forms: lozengiform (e.g. BH-008CF6), circular (e.g. YORYM-BD3881). The piece has a dusting of light-green corrosion product over a red-brown metal. This is consistent with gilding, and traces of gilt do survive. One of the central element's lobes has been bent upwards as a result of old damage. As mentioned, one of the attachment loops is longer than the others (15.55mm rather than c. 13.7mm max. length). The rivet is also longer (10.3mm rather than c. 9.1mm). Coincidentally the strip with the longest rivet has abraded through at the lower, narrower end.

HAMP-3BB2F4: HOOKED TAG
A sub-circular copper-alloy hooked tag of early-medieval date. The tag has been cut from a sheet, and tapers to a recurving hook. It has two protruding attachment knops, perforated; one of these has broken off in antiquity and the side of the panel abraded below. The upper surface on the panel is decorated with an incised radial design, presumably floral. There are two incised transverse lines below the panel as the hook begins. The object has a variable mid-green patina. Hooked tags such as this could date from the 9th to 12th centuries; it is arguably relatively late within this range. It can be classified as Read's Early medieval Class D, Type 1 (cf. Read 2008, 28; ref. 115).

HAMP-3B9A20: HINGE
A cast copper-alloy decorative hinge from either a box or possibly a book fitting dating to the post-medieval period. The object is flat and sub-rectangular in cross-section. One end terminates with a fleur-de-lis which is perforated for attachment; a corroded iron rivet survives in the hole. Below this is an inverted heart-shaped openwork within the base of which is a rounded moulding perforated with a second rivet corroded within it. The adjacent sides protrude slightly beyond the sides above. Beyond the second rivet hole there is a narrowed protrusion which would have fitted into the centre of a second hinged element. The protrusion is thickened and rounded to accommodate an iron axis bar; again there is orange/brown corrosion product within the perforation. The hinge has a dark-grey/green patina covered in off-white corrosion product. File marks can be seen on the upper surface. A parallel can be found on this database, ref. NMS-6ED5E6, while a more complete hinge of a slightly different form can be found at LVPL-7FDE54.

A similar decorative treatment can be seen on a brooch illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 249; ref. 1311).

HAMP-32D304: BUCKLE
A small, cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle of medieval date. The buckle frame is oval, with an angled and lipped outer edge. On the upper surface this latter features a tapering triangular groove in which the pin sits. This is flanked to either side by a double ridge that projects slightly. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The surfaces of the frame is flat while the sides are bevelled externally from the upper surface; this bevelling is echoed internally on the outer edge. The pin is missing. The frame has an even mid-green patina with some small patches of light-green corrosion product. A direct parallel can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 91; ref. 540). Similar frames have been found in London in contexts dating from the late 13th to late 14th centuries AD.

An extremely worn and corroded 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate probably of Victorinus or Tetricus I, possibly 'FIDES MILITVM', uncertain mint (269-274 AD; Reece issue period 13)

HAMP-1F0484: BUCKLE
A fragment from a medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame consisting of the outer edge and the beginnings of the sides. The ornate outer edge features a pair large knops flanking a constriction for an extant sheet roller. The roller is decorated with about nine scored transverse grooves that are spaced equally. It has been squashed slightly as a result of old damage. The knops are delineated from the inner part of the outer edge by grooves on both faces. This narrows into the sides, both broken and vestigial, one slightly longer than the other. The buckle frame now has a dark-green patina with small patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. A buckle of similar construction can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 95; ref. 590).

HAMP-1E7C16: COIN
A very worn, slightly clipped and bent 15th-century silver late medieval penny of Edward IV, first reign, Heavy coinage, Class 4, Durham mint (1461-1465 AD; North 1544)

HAMP-1BDCC1: JETTON
A very worn, incomplete 15th-century copper-alloy later medieval jetton of the 'Shield of France' type probably struck at Tournai (c. 1415 - c. 1497 AD). This jetton has been cut into a deliberate looking wedge shape leaving just over a third of the original flan. On the obverse are two broadly parallel groups of finely incised lines, five or six lines in each, that overlap towards one end.

A very worn, clipped and damaged 14th-century continental imitation of a medieval Edwardian penny struck under Gaucher of Chatillon, count of Porcien, at Yves mint (1313-1322 AD; probably Mayhew type 239). This coin has suffered a loss at its circumference equating to around 5% of its original flan.

HAMP-F92224: HARNESS FITTING
An elaborate cast copper-alloy Roman strap-fitting, the female part of a 'bar-and-keyhole' strap fastener, probably from a harness (1st century AD). The object is in two, connected parts. The main element is a thick plate which was attached to a strap by way of two integral rivets located towards each end of the lower surface. The plate now measures 35.1mm. It is recessed at one end on its upper surface to accommodate a separate keyhole shaped fitting which slotted into the thickened plate and has a rod travelling through it such that it can hinge. There is also a slot on the lower surface on the plate to accommodate the terminal of the separate fitting (10.25 by 3.7mm). Including the terminal that is located within the slot the keyhole shaped fitting measures 28.85mm in length, c. 13.15mm of which protrudes beyond the recessed part of the plate. The keyhole shaped element has a flat lower surface and is triangular in profile as it narrows gradually from the attachment end to its terminal. As the name implies the terminal is rounded above a slightly narrower section with straight sides. This is openwork other than a slight triangular projection into it at the base. Externally, at the internal angle of rounded terminal and straight sides, is a small knop that curls downwards. The openwork section emerges from a rectangular block which is the same width as the plate on which it sits, 10.4mm. It features a central moulded transverse ridge. There is a transverse groove before the central projection that sits in the notch. This latter is thicker than the block, the same height as the plate at this point. As alluded to above the lower part of this projection is expanded and appears rounded; there is a slot on the lower surface of the plate to accommodate it, as described above. The main plate is squared off at the recessed end. At the other end it appears to be broken, perhaps at a weak point of a looped projection. The width at the point of break is 7.6mm, an expansion from a waist 5.15mm across. This thinned projection emerges from the 'terminal' of the main plate, rounded initially, then squared off. From this point the plate gradually thickens, to 7.6mm thick at the end of the recessed section that accommodates the keyhole shaped element; the recessed plate beyond is c. 1.95mm thick (disregarding the integral rivets). The section that takes the keyhole shaped element is plain and is delineated at each end by a transverse groove (as alluded to above). Beyond, the plate slopes downwards and is decorated in two zones. The first zone is demarcated by a curved groove. It is decorated with curved lines creating arcs above ovals symmetrically. The second zone beyond is decorated with symmetrical scrolled curves, back to back. On most of this decorated area a silver plating survives, as it does particularly on the triangular projection into the keyhole shaped element. Traces of orange/brown corrosion product at either end of the axis bar reveal this to be made of iron; there is further iron corrosion product within the slot on the underside of the plate. The piece is otherwise characterised by mid-green corrosion product over a red-brown metal. The artefact survives well, with only one loss apparent at one end. The rivets appear slightly truncated, with one bent inwards and closer to the lower surface of the plate. A number of examples of such fastener have been published: Chapman (2005, 136; ref. Te04), Jackson (1990, 36; ref. 67), Bishop and Coulston (1993, 106; ref. 7), Jenkins (1985, 150; fig. 14). Only one example, however, has been traced on this database - ref. LEIC-0017E1.

HAMP-F74C35: COIN

A very worn and corroded 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of Valens, 'SECVRITAS REI PVBLICAE', possibly Arles mint (364-378 AD; Reece issue period 19). This coin has received some minor circumferential abrasions.

HAMP-4C6C16: BROOCH
A cast copper-alloy annular brooch of medieval date (c. 14th century AD). The flat frame has a circular opening. An external notch provided the pin constriction. A thick wire pin survives in situ; there is no pin rest (groove). It has a semicircular cross-section with a flat lower surface and tapers to a sharp point. The frame is decorated on its upper surface with a single row of pellets set within a sunken field, probably tooled. The frame is bevelled internally on both surfaces. The circumference is covered in diagonal file marks. The metal has corroded to a dark-grey colour, with some off-white corrosion product. This brooch can be compared with an example from Meols (Griffiths et al. 2007, 143; ref. 1700), itself compared with one illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 383; ref. 1713). Similar decorative treatment can be seen on brooches of other form recorded on this database, for example lozengiform (cf. HAMP-E6AAF6) and hexagonal (HAMP-1F68F2); these also have an external notch.

HAMP-4B5CC2: STRAP END
A slightly corroded early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas Class B, Type 1. A broadly 9th-century date can be suggested for this artefact (Thomas 2003, 4). The flat strap-end is bent downwards, and very slightly abraded at the attachment end but otherwise survives complete. As is common, the attachment end is wedge-shaped (W.: 8.7mm). The split terminal is cusped with a perforation in each rounded corner. The field below is defined by incised longitudinal borders with small nicks to the sides. There are possible diagonal incisions within the field but these are unclear. A narrowed mid-section (W.: c. 6.55mm) is delineated between the field and the terminal by a pair of transverse incisions at its junction with these two elements. It seems to be plain. The terminal is in the usual form of a moulded animal head (L.: c. 10.4mm, max. W.: 6.45mm). The snout is subtly moulded; the ears are rendered by pairs of diagonal incisions at the sides below the transverse lines. There is a further pair of diagonals above the uppermost pair of incised transverse lines. The artefact now has a dark-green patina with some patches of lighter corrosion product in places.

HAMP-4B28F2: COIN
A worn 1st-century silver Roman denarius of Vespasian, 'TRI/POT' (Vesta), Rome mint (70-72 AD; Reece issue period 4; R.I.C. 37). Small patches of green corrosion product on both surfaces of the coin would seem to be accretions.

HAMP-4AD247: COIN

A very worn and bent 16th-century silver post-medieval threepence of Elizabeth I, second issue, London mint, dating to 1577 AD (North 1998)

HAMP-CE1273: BROOCH
A damaged and bent fragment from an early-medieval (5th- to 6th-century Anglo-Saxon) cast copper-alloy saucer brooch. The brooch would originally have been circular in plan with an upturned rim. Perhaps a sixth of the original brooch survives, broken before the upturned rim survives. The upper surface of the brooch is divided into concentric decorative zones divided by a raised circle: The inner zone is comprised of a raised radial ridges that travel out to the circular border; there may have been something within. The main decorative zone is comprised of Salin style I zoomorphic decoration: seemingly legs formed of three strands that run into each other with wedge fillers around. The outer zone is decorated with triple-stranded swags also with wedge shaped fillers. The reverse of the brooch has an integrally cast lug, most likely to be the catch-plate. There is no trace of iron corrosion on the reverse of the brooch. The artefact is now mainly a purple/brown colour with areas of yellow/brown corrosion product and some patches of light green. Due to the condition of the brooch, an exact parallel cannot be found. Zoomorphic designs are less common on saucer brooches than geometric designs.

HAMP-CCC042: BROOCH
A cast copper-alloy Roman initial T-shaped brooch, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin (later 1st-century AD). The brooch survives well, only having suffered some post-depositional abrasions. The head has tubular wings, formed of two curved sections which almost meet at the base. The upper surface of the wings is decorated with two ridges each formed of angled removals that sit within their own groove. There is a further slight depression between each groove. One wing is longer with its decoration slightly more spaced out. The axis bar is largely obscured by the wings, but is can be said to have been made from iron judging by orange corrosion product both at the wing terminals and within the pin slot. The hinged pin is missing. The upper bow emerges from the wings initially at a width of c. 7.65mm before tapering gradually. Initially it turns through around ninety degrees. Its upper surface has a deep central V-shaped groove, flanked on each side by a grooved step. The lower surface of the bow is flat; the bow thus has a sub-semicircular cross-section. As the leg tapers in width it expands in thickness terminating in an abraded catch-plate whose web is c. 17.9mm in length. The fold is slightly abraded and measures 11.4mm. On its upper surface is a small pointed foot knob beyond a low transverse ridge. The brooch now has an even light-mid green patina. Bayley and Butcher (2004, 159) describe initial T-shaped brooches as 'usually hinged, not enamelled but sometimes with fine relief decoration and lacking a headloop.' They suggest a Flavian association (69-96 AD).

HAMP-CC4933: COIN
An extremely worn mid 1st-century BC Roman silver Republican denarius, 'P·CLODIVS' (Diana), struck by the moneyer P. Clodius at Rome in 42 BC (RRC 494). This coin has been scratched and bent as a result of old damage.

HAMP-65B8A2: VESSEL
An abraded base sherd from an open Roman greyware vessel, possibly a large beaker. The circular pad is 44.6mm in diameter. The sides curve out from foot and have been broken at a point at which they are still curving. Both internally and externally there are concentric lines and ridges from wheel throwing. Just before the break is the beginning of a zone of external decoration in the form of fine diagonal incisions. The fabric is fairly fine and sandy. The core is a light grey/brown colour while the surfaces have a far darker colour. The foot pad bears encrustations both internally and externally.

HAMP-637BD2: JETTON
A worn 15th-century copper-alloy later medieval jetton of the 'Shield of France (modern)' type struck at Tournai, probably a 'piefort' jetton (c. 1415 - c. 1497 AD; cf. Mitchiner 683/709; Mernick and Algar 139-140)

HAMP-3C4BB7: COIN
A slightly corroded 17th-century copper-alloy post-medieval rose farthing of Charles I, Type 1d, London mint (1636-1644 AD; North 2290)

HAMP-3AE716: JETTON
A slightly corroded and bent post-medieval copper-alloy jetton of Hans Krauwinckel II (fl. 1586-1635) of the 'Rose / orb' type, 'DAS WORT' type, struck at Nuremberg (cf. Mitchiner 1494). This jetton has two neat perforations: one at around 7 o'clock on the 'obverse' just within the inner circle, the other around 10 o'clock on the 'obverse' just within the circumference. Whether these small holes had any function is uncertain.

HAMP-3A0480: COIN WEIGHT
An extremely worn and corroded possible copper-alloy coin weight of medieval or post-medieval date. It is circular and seemingly decorated unifacially, although both surfaces are highly corroded. The upper face appears to depicts a ship. It has a rounded circumference. The design and size of this coin weight are consistent with it relating to a noble, if anything. Withers & Withers (1995, 18-19) illustrate these 15th- and 16th-century coin weights.

HAMP-94D641: WEIGHT
A corroded cast lead weight, probably a pan weight of post-medieval date. The weight is circular in plan with some bevelling and abrasions from the smaller upper surface to the larger lower. It is decorated on its upper face with a cross in relief dividing the surface into quarters. Incised finely on the flat lower surface is a pair of keys in saltire (cross keys). This device is found on a number of artefacts recorded on this database, all of post-medieval date; the keys are of this style. Through the keys is a vertical incision, with traces of a transverse incision and possible border towards the circumference. At 112g it is equivalent to around 3.6 troy ounces, or around 4 ounces avoirdupois (a quarter of a pound). This artefact has corroded to an off-white colour.

HAMP-93C7B8: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded 2nd-century copper-alloy Roman sestertius of Faustina II, struck under Marcus Aurelius, possibly 'IVNONI REGINAE', Rome mint (c. 161 - 175 AD; Reece issue period 8; cf. R.I.C. 1651)

A worn and corroded 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of of Constantine I, 'SARMATIA DEVICTA', Trier mint (323-324 AD; Reece issue period 16; R.I.C. 429). This coin has suffered some slight losses to its circumference.

A very worn and corroded 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate of Claudius II, 'FIDES EXERCI', Rome mint (268-270 AD; Reece issue period 13; Cunetio 2091ff.). This coin has suffered some losses to its circumference at two main points.

HAMP-546162: JETTON
A worn 14th-century copper-alloy medieval English jetton, cross bottony/cross fleury type (c. 1350 - c. 1400 AD; cf. Mitchiner 268). There is a probable punch mark in the centre of the reverse.

HAMP-53C1F3: COIN
A worn and bent early 14th-century silver medieval penny of Edward I, London mint (1307-1309 AD; Class 10cf3, possibly 10cf3b1)

HAMP-FEAB47: VESSEL
A group of copper-alloy sheets rivetted together, possibly a repair to a medieval/post-medieval vessel. A thin fragmentary sheet is sandwiched between two other thin sheets; the three are held together by a rolled sheet rivet, suggesting that this might be a repair. The two outer sheets have angular ends where they survive. They are also slightly darker than the inner sheet suggesting that they are separate and of a slightly different alloy. The inner sheet has corroded to a mid-green colour with areas of light-green corrosion product. The corners of the sheets have been slightly bent in profile.

HAMP-FE10C6: MOUNT
A corroded cast copper-alloy gilded mount of possible medieval date. It has a circular, domed main body with an off-centre integral shank. This latter has been bent as a result of old damage and seems to have been truncated. The upper surface is plain, but highly corroded. Emerging at one point is a flat rectangular protrusion perforated at its centre. The object now has a red-brown metal covered by off-white and light-green surface corrosion, particularly on the lower surface. Some smaller areas of dark-green patina survive on the upper surface, with traces of gilt around the perforation.

HAMP-FDE402: MOUNT
A post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount with a domed square head and integral shank (c. 16th century). The upper surface is plain, but highly corroded. The shank has a circular cross-section and has been bent at the tip. The object now has a red-brown metal covered by off-white and light-green surface corrosion, particularly on the lower surface.

HAMP-FD70D1: MOUNT
A post-medieval cast lead circular object, probably a livery mount (c. 18th century). On a broadly circular thick, flat disc the upper half of a creature, probably a dog rampant regardant is moulded in relief above a torse. The piece has corroded to an off-white colour and it has been slightly distorted due to old damage.

HAMP-9646F4: STRAP END
A damaged and incomplete medieval sheet plate in copper alloy, probably from a composite strap-end. The fragment is broadly rectangular, with an intact attachment end, while being broken and bent inwards perhaps around its former centre. The attachment end is biconcave, formed of two small triangular removals. At its centre, below the central protrusion formed by the removals is a small in situ rivet that would have joined the sheet plates together. The object has a mid-green patina with some suggestions of the forked spacer in the corrosion product on the internal surface. It can be dated to the later 14th century by comparison with a similar artefact illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 142; ref. 660). Compare SWYOR-7DB186 and PUBLIC-D986C2.

HAMP-955F27: KEY (LOCKING)
A slightly corroded and damaged medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a stem of circular cross-section with a hollow end that extends deep into stem's tip. The bow is circular and shouldered with a circular perforation at its centre (Int. dia.: 8.3mm). It has been bent as a result of old damage. The bow is slightly thinner than the stem. The bit is in the shape of a letter 'S' (W.: 7.0mm, L.: 9.3mm); the shorter upright elements are recessed on alternate sides. The lowermost ward has been squashed upwards. A direct parallel can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 72; ref. 556). This artefact has corroded to a mid-green colour.

HAMP-94BB46: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded, now incomplete mid 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of Magnentius or Decentius, 'SALVS D D N N AVG ET CAES' (Chi-Rho), uncertain mint (AD 350-353; Reece issue period 18). This coin has been deliberately cut.

An extremely worn and corroded, now incomplete 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of the House of Valentinian, 'GLORIA ROMANORVM', uncertain mint (AD 364-378; Reece issue period 19). This coin has suffered some significant losses at its circumference.

HAMP-93E735: TOKEN
A worn and corroded cast lead-alloy token of post-medieval date with the initials 'T C' on one face (Powell type 2) and the initials 'W S' (Powell type 2) on the other. Around the letters are four pellets, one at each cardinal point in a cruciform arrangement, although these are not clear on the 'W S' face with the one below appearing more like a small cross.

A very worn and slightly bent 17th-century base silver post-medieval threepence issued by colony of Massachusetts, North America, 'Pine tree' type, dated 1652 AD on the coin (KM# 11/12). Though dated '1652', such coins tend to be attributed to the period c. 1667 - c. 1674 AD. All 'pine tree' issues show the date 1652 owing to the fact that the colony understood it had no rights to mint coinage, perhaps wanting to create the illusion it only minted during the period immediately after the Civil War. This coin has been pierced at around 6 o'clock on both faces for conversion presumably into an item of jewellery. It has suffered some losses to its circumference and is now incomplete.

A worn, bent and incomplete mid 16th-century silver post-medieval groat of Philip and Mary, London mint (AD 1554-1558; North 1973). The coin has suffered significant cracking and losses at its circumference following old damage.

An extremely encrusted, irregular 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus copying the House of Constantine, possibly 'VRBS ROMA' commemorative issue, uncertain mint (c. 330 - c. 340 AD; Reece issue period 17)

HAMP-8001F2: BROOCH
A corroded and bent, incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Hod Hill type, Hattatt's Class B (with side knobs/lugs). The sub-rectangular head terminates in a cylinder formed by rolling the terminal back round on itself (W.: 12.7mm). This retains the remnant of the iron axis bar in both halves either side of the central pin slot; the composition is suggested by iron corrosion at the abraded tips. Below the cylinder the head narrows slightly to a waist 9.8mm wide above a transverse ridge. Below this is a second waisted groove, then the bow. The central section is rectangular with rounded side knobs/lugs at each side, uppermost. These lugs are relatively wide before narrowing to their rounded terminals beyond a groove. The bow is decorated on its upper surface with two longitudinal grooved channels, within which are traces of a possible wavy wire inlay. There is a collar between the bow and the leg consisting of double transverse groove and ridge arrangement. The leg is triangular in form and cross-section; the upper surface is bevelled to each side. The tip has been truncated by an old break at the foot. On the leg's reverse is the highly abraded catch-plate (web l.: 23.55mm) that runs its whole length. In profile the brooch appears to have been bent such that the head is in the same plane as the foot. This is probably the result of old damage. The brooch has a dull red-brown colour but is largely covered with light-green corrosion product, particularly on the lower surface. Hattatt (1982, 89) describes this Class B of Hod Hill brooches as a common military type.

HAMP-7F92B3: BELL
A corroded but complete post-medieval spherical bell cast in copper alloy. The upper half seems to be plain, though it is very corroded. The lower half is decorated with a 'sunburst' pattern formed of 'rays', loops with central longitudinal lines. Also on the lower half are two sound holes which abut the central casting seam; these are joined together by a slot. The sound holes on the lower half are perpendicular to further holes on the upper half; one of these is abraded. A corroded iron pea survives within the bell. The suspension loop is rectangular, with a central oval perforation: loop - L.: 12.45mm, H.: 7.7mm, Th.: 3.8mm. It is thinned at the top as a result of wear through use. The suspension loop is set at an angle which is probably a comment on the basic manufacture of the bell. Slight squashing around the sound slot, however, is more likely to be the result of old damage. The bell has corroded to a variable mid-green colour over a red-brown metal. These are thought to be animal bells.

HAMP-7F1806: CLOTH SEAL
A corroded and slightly bent post-medieval lead-alloy cloth seal (c. 17th-century). It is a two-part, probable alnage seal. The lower surface of disc 1 has a circumferential legend in low relief: '[...]AIN[...]EDAGE', with the letters 'DON' towards the base, opposite the connecting strip. Towards the centre are the stamped incuse numerals '71', misaligned, with a letter 'N' in low relief to their left. The integral rivet of disc 1 has been pushed through the central aperture of disc 2 and squashed into a large sub-oval form. The surface of disc 2 around it is seemingly plain. Disc 2 has stamped incuse letters, generally over the rivet: 'S S/D C?'. The connecting strip survives apparently at 12 o'clock to the lettering, twisted slightly to the side.

HAMP-7CBE76: STRAP FITTING
A cast copper-alloy bolt piece from a swivel strap-fitting of medieval date. It is formed of a D-shaped loop with stylised moulded animal heads at the corners. Although many such pieces have zoomorphic elements, the loop tends to be more rounded (e.g. HAMP-D3AEF2), with few as angular as this example (cf. NMS-6EE657). The heads have two small, pointed ears on each angle. Down the sides is a prominent brow ridge, with a a slightly flared snout below. The field above the brow ridge is decorated with a small longitudinal groove, while the eyes are delineated with a pair of transverse grooves below the brow ridge. The rounded base of the loop continues from the snouts. From the base emerges a sub-conical integral element of oval cross-section from which the integral bolt emerges which its flattened oval terminal (7.6 by 7.1mm). The bolt, before the terminal, is circular in cross-section. The top of the loop, a cross bar, is very slightly arched, possibly as a result of use. The perforation below is broadly D-shaped. The artefact has developed a mid-green patina.

HAMP-7C3E74: BROOCH
A small cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch with a double pierced lug spring attachment, incomplete in so far as it is missing its spring mechanism and pin, dating to the 1st century AD. The double pierced lug is situated behind the head as is characteristic of this type, with a cusping at the front between the perforations. The axis bar and sprung pin are missing, including the chord and coils. The wings are intact, short, and curved in cross-section. They are decorated with a transverse groove which creates a ridge at the tip. The head is narrowed as it meets the bow. The bow is broadly triangular in cross-section, and seemingly plain. The bow is 4.85mm wide at the back of the head and tapers gradually to a width of 1.4mm at the foot. It travels at from an angle of just over ninety degrees at the head in a gradual curve such that the foot is in the same plane as the head. The bow flattens and expands seamlessly into the sub-triangular catch-plate whose fold survives well (Web: 9.35mm). Three nicks at the foot on the upper surface are probably decorative. Where it survives this brooch has a dull grey patina over a slightly corroded mid-green metal.

HAMP-7C0162: STRAP FITTING
A worn but complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval strap-mount. The mount is longitudinally asymmetrical, terminating in a moulded trifoliate head, with large central fleur. Below this the body expands into a piriform body which terminates in a rounded knop. The upper surface of the main body is moulded with scrolled designs along the edges terminating in curls above the terminal knop. Between these is a central longitudinal row of conjoined pellets. On the reverse is a pair of pointed lugs bent out away from each other; they are located at the junctions of the terminals with the main body; one has been broken. The reverse is otherwise flat and plain. The mount is of a dark red-brown colour with a dark-green patina, largely on the reverse, with patches of gilt in the recessed mouldings of the upper surface. In its form and dimensions the object is similar to mounts illustrated in Read (2001, 34; ref. 285ff.) which are dated to around the 17th century.

HAMP-6DF505: FINGER RING
A corroded fragment from a cast copper-alloy finger-ring of Roman date. The fragment consists of part of the bezel, shoulders and hoop, with the breaks at the bezel and hoop the result of old damage. is broadly hexagonal in plan. The upper surface of the ring has a large oval recess (W.: c. 10.55mm) which would have taken a setting. The shoulders are slightly bevelled and narrow as they travel down. The hoop itself continues to narrow and is c. 5.5mm wide where it has broken. Assuming this finger-ring is Roman in date it is best classified as a Guiraud Type 2d (Henig Type II/III). The piece has a dark internal surface colour; the outer surface looks to have been cleaned recently.

HAMP-6DB182: STRAP END
A corroded and damaged early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas' (2003, 2) Class A, Type 2. This would date the artefact to around the ninth century. The strap-end has a flat, rectangular cross-section and sub-oval in form. It is curved in profile as a result of old damage. The split attachment end is rounded through abrasions. Its upper fold has been all but lost and the lower fold is so abraded that the usual pair of rivet holes cannot be discerned. The artefact tapers gradually towards the terminal which is more pointed, but still rounded at the tip. The zoomorphic head terminal is moulded in very low relief with possible ears formed of incisions with punched dots. Within a low recess the main plate is decorated on its upper surface within a zone at the attachment end half. Only a stamped flower, a sexfoil with central punch, can be fully seen; there is a second stamped motif beyond but much of it has been lost due to the loss of the fold mentioned above. The object has corroded to a dull dark-grey colour.

HAMP-6D2B71: COIN
An extremely worn, clipped later 15th-century silver medieval penny possibly of Edward IV, first or second reign, probably Durham mint, local issue (c. 1461 - c. 1483 AD). As well as the clipping this coin has suffered some cracking at its circumference.

HAMP-6CD843: COIN
A worn and very corroded, incomplete mid 4th-century Roman copper-alloy nummus of Constans, 'VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN', Trier mint (347-348 AD; Reece issue period 17; R.I.C. 195/196). This coin has suffered a circumferential loss and is now incomplete.

HAMP-6C3D55: COIN
A slightly worn and corroded late 3rd-century Roman copper-alloy radiate of Allectus (AD 293-6), VIRTVS AVG, Galley left with mast, cabin, 5 or 6 rowers; no waves. RIC V, pt 2, p. 569, no. 128. This coin is included in Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.

HAMP-6ADB43: COIN
An extremely worn, bent early 17th-century silver post-medieval half thistle-merk of James VI of Scotland, eighth coinage, Edinburgh mint (c. 1602 AD; Spink 5498)

HAMP-69D906: STRAP FITTING
A corroded and damaged post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount with a pair of (broken) spikes on the reverse (c. 17th century AD). The mount has a broadly oval, flat body, truncated by a trefoil terminal uppermost and a rounded terminal at its base. At the trefoil terminal the central leaf is larger than those which flank it. On the flat lower surface the attachment spikes are located at the terminals and are vestigial a a result of old damage. The upper surface seems to be decorated only with semicircular punch marks towards the rounded end. The object has corroded, with mid-green corrosion product over a red-brown metal. This mount can be compared with ref. NARC-5797B6 on this database.

HAMP-68EE71: STRAP END
A broken and incomplete spacer plate from a medieval composite strap-end with stylised collared acorn knop terminal cast in copper alloy. Both of the prongs have been seemingly truncated, with one longer and bent at its present tip. The prongs are recessed (Th.: 2.1mm) to accommodate (missing) sheet plates and feature file marks to help the plates' adhesion. The thick collared acorn knop is fairly well rendered with nut and fruit moulded. Similar strap-ends can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 144; fig. 94) and date to the 14th or 15th centuries AD. This piece has corroded to a dark-grey colour with patches of light-green corrosion product.

HAMP-68C0B5: SPUR
An incomplete cast copper-alloy stud attachment from a post-medieval spur (c. 17th century AD). It consists of a sub-oval attachment plate to which is riveted a separate inverted heart-shaped stud which has a groove between the two curves of the heart. The attachment plate is possibly damaged by comparison with other comparable examples. Below the plate are transverse protrusions acting as a collar. The strip continuing from these is the (broken) attachment loop end. The strip has been bent downwards as a result of old damage. An example with the chape in situ in the buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 81; ref. 504), dated between c. 1575 and c. 1700. A similar attachment plate can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 157; ref. 1062), with other examples recorded on this database, e.g. refs. NMS-6F6030, KENT-5CE2A7; these can be dated later within this date range. The piece has a variable brown/green patina over a corroded red-brown metal.

A very worn, slightly clipped and bent 16th-century post-medieval silver penny of Elizabeth I, second issue, London mint (c. 1565 - c. 1567 AD; North 2001). This coin has some slight abrasions to the circumference.

HAMP-66F1E2: COIN
A very worn, incomplete and bent early 14th-century silver medieval penny of Edward I or II, probably Classes 10-15, probably Canterbury mint (c. 1300 - c. 1327 AD). This coin has lost around a quarter of its flan due to old breaks and fractures.

HAMP-16F8D5: MOUNT
A bent, elaborate openwork cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date (c. 17th century AD). The object is broadly lozengiform in plan, though a rather complex collection of connected shapes. It has a central section of generally the same width which tapers to a point at each end. One end is teardrop shaped and terminates in a trefoil. The teardrop is openwork, with a transverse bar dividing a triangular perforation towards the terminal and an oval perforation towards the central section. Following on from this latter is a solid triangular section which narrows before widening to a double conjoined transverse loop. Each loop has a small transverse knop towards the triangular section end. From between the loops a distorted fleur-de-lis emerges with an exaggeratedly long central fleur. Protruding from the end of this fleur is a terminal button, circular in plan. The upper surface of the mount is generally flat with some bevelling at the edges. The button is far thicker, at 3.65mm, although it does not seem to be functional. The lower surface is completely flat, suggesting that it was mounted onto something, although it is uncertain as to what this was. It was connected through two small iron rivets, both corroded in place, through the central triangular section and the trefoilate terminal respectively. The object's decoration is generally established through moulding, especially of the elongated lis. There is a small nick in the upper surface of the bar dividing the perforations in the teardrop shaped section. The triangular section has a triangle scored within it. The object has been bent downwards and at an angle at the trefoilate end as a result of old damage. The mount has corroded to a red-brown colour overlain with patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. The elaborate, openwork design is reminiscent of objects like the elaborate spur terminal illustrated in Allan (1984, 343; ref. 145). This, and similar objects, tend to be dated to the 17th century, most likely the second half.

HAMP-123118: BELL
A complete post-medieval animal bell ('crotal') cast in copper alloy. The upper half bears a distinct 'sunburst' pattern formed of 'rays', fifteen incised loops, some interrupted by the two sound holes. The lower half is decorated with overlapping moulded semicircles forming a pattern known as 'fish scale'. Also on the lower half are two sound holes which abut the central casting seam; these are joined together by a slot. The semicircles on the fish scale pattern decrease in size as they travel from the seam to the slot. Adjacent to the slot, on either side, is a moulded heart, the pointed ends of the hearts facing each other at the slot. The sound holes on the lower half are perpendicular to those on the upper half. The corroded iron pea survives within the bell. The suspension loop is rectangular, with a central circular perforation: loop - L.: 12.4mm, H.: 10.3mm, Th.: 5.4mm. It is recessed at the top on one side. The 'fish scale' decoration dates this crotal to the 16th or 17th centuries (Bailey 1995, 40-41; ref. 7). It is now a dark-grey colour. The suspension loop is set at an angle which is probably a comment on the basic manufacture, as is a small loss on the upper hemisphere. Squashing around the sound slot, however, is more likely to be the result of old damage.

HAMP-11E993: VESSEL
A cast copper-alloy fragment from a cooking vessel of medieval/post-medieval date: probably a handle lug from a cauldron, based on its size, possibly an open brace from a skillet. The fragment consists of a small section of the vessel's body which is broadly teardrop shaped, 25.75 by 17.5mm. The 'handle' that emerges from it is circular in cross section. It has been broken in antiquity, presumably before it would have bent and returned. The fragment has corroded to a mid/dark-grey colour with patches of green corrosion product. It is comparable with an L-shaped cauldron lug handle illustrated in Butler et al. (2009, 5; ref. 3a).

HAMP-11CD58: VESSEL
A cast copper-alloy fragment probably from a post-medieval cooking vessel, possibly a handle fragment. The artefact is trapezoidal in plan with breaks at both narrower ends (W.: 28.4mm at the narrower end). It is flat on one surface and shallowly bevelled on the other which has a central flat strip. The edges are rounded. The fragment has corroded to a variable mid-dark grey/green colour. It is seemingly plain.

HAMP-1193E4: VESSEL
A seemingly incomplete cast copper-alloy leg from a post-medieval cooking vessel. The foot is seemingly missing, lost to a neat, transverse break. On the outer surface is the leg there are five low ridges, a wider central one, ridges at the edges, and a further ridge between the two on each side. The cross-section of the majority of the leg is sub-triangular, curved on one side as the reverse is concave with a deep central channel, deeper towards the break. The break at the attachment end is with the junction with the vessel's body which is curved and internally smooth. The object has become corroded, to a dark-grey colour with some patches of green corrosion product. A similar leg can be found illustrated in Butler et al. (2009, 6; ref. 4c). Such legs were common the 17th century on all types of cooking vessels (small cauldrons, skillets, posnets), although an earlier date cannot be ruled out.

A very worn and corroded mid 4th-century Roman copper-alloy nummus probably of Constans, 'VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN', uncertain mint (347-348 AD; Reece issue period 17). This coin has suffered a small loss at its circumference.

HAMP-059D41: FURNITURE FITTING
A corroded and slightly damaged post-medieval furniture fitting: a cast and forged copper-alloy drop handle from a drawer pull. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape, with a constriction below an elaborate sub-square suspension loop. At the other, thick, curling end the handle is bifurcated with a rearward lug scrolling to one side; the other has broken at the point it splits. The main field below the constriction features a raised triangular moulding with diagonal incisions, four along each side. The constriction is formed of a semicircular cut out to each side. The loop is recessed with a rectangular perforation. The top side is longer at 16.8mm. An example of such a later Stuart drawer-pull can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 162; ref. 1086). For a complete example from Norfolk see this database: NMS-567517. This piece has corroded to a red-brown colour with areas of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The top side of the suspension loop features iron corrosion product. The suspension loop has been bent upward following old damage.

HAMP-056E08: STRAP END
A corroded cast copper-alloy medieval strap-end made of a single strip folded in half widthways. In shape it is a simple rectangular with rounded corners, some of the rounding may be from wear. There is a single rivet which appears to be cast integrally with the front and then roughly hammered flat after going through the strap and a hole in the back-plate. The flattened end of the rivet is sub square. The strip is notably thick (Th.: c. 1.9mm); this has helped result in a fracture to one side of the fold that extends up one face. The strap-end seems to have been squeezed together just beyond the fold. The object is a dark-red/brown colour with a large covering of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The corrosion product obscures any decoration but colour is consistent with gilding and similar examples were gilded. On this example some of the corners at the attachment end have been bent as a result of old damage. While strap-ends made of a piece folded widthways are known from the medieval period the use of an integral, crude rivet is unusual. It is similar to SUSS-8C2F60 for which a date between 1100 and 1250 AD was suggested; this record, in turn, refers back to other examples recorded on this database.

HAMP-024AF0: STRAP FITTING
A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount/strap-fitting (c. 17th century AD). The mount is sub-triangular in plan, terminating at the apex in a broadly acorn-shaped knop. The is a trefoilate protrusion at the other, flattened end. The upper surface is decorated with three pairs of diagonal lines running from the edges towards the centre. On the reverse there is a pair of lugs, one is bent outwards and down whilst the other has been broken as a result of old damage. The lower surface is otherwise flat and plain with a slight concavity at the centre. The mount is a largely off-white colour with patches of green corrosion product and areas where the red-brown metal shows through. Similar mounts can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 35; fig. 20).

HAMP-01A4A1: PURSE
A corroded cast copper-alloy fragment: part of the frame of a late medieval or early post-medieval purse. The curved frame is L-shaped in section (L.: 8.1mm; W.: 7.1mm; Th.: 3.1mm); the thinned side has two sewing holes through which the frame would have been sewn to the fabric of the purse (Dia:.: 1.8mm). At the end of the frame the sides converge to a solid attachment loop (6.4 by 5.9mm); this loop would of hung around the end of the purse bar. On the solid outer side of the frame there are traces of lattice work decoration, with no obvious niello traces in the recesses. The frame has corroded to a variable green colour. Parallels can be found in illustrated in Read (2001, 130; ref. 907), classified as a possible Ward Perkins Type A1 purse.

HAMP-FED1B3: CLOTH SEAL
A worn and damaged cast lead possible cloth seal of late medieval or early post-medieval date (c. 1485-c. 1700 AD). On the upper surface the object is broadly circular with some squared-off cuts. Initials are moulded in low relief at its centre: 'HR', where the 'H' is ligated with the 'R'; above is what appears to be a crown. On the other side it is too worn to discern what the decoration is, if any; this side has been cut into a sub-square shape. The object now remains light grey in colour due to the corrosion process. It has been bent in profile. It is possible that the HR refers to Henry VII or VIII.

HAMP-EFA6E4: TAP
An incomplete cast copper-alloy handle from a barrel tap of modern date, pelta shaped and attached to the remainder of the object by the central section which has broken off due to an old break. The inside edges of the loops and the outside edge of the main curve are bevelled from a central ridge, possibly the remains of smoothed casting seams. The inside edges are densely covered in fine, transverse filemarks. The bottom of the curve is slightly flattened; probably after casting as the seam is absent here; so it will stand more or less upright balanced on the curve. The central section is up to 13.75mm wide and 9.4mm thick and has been sheered off in a shallow diagonal break; considerable force would have been required to make this break; on other similar objects this section has been twisted. The object narrows from the thickness quoted above at the break to c. 7.0mm at the main curved edge. The item has a mid-dark green patina. It features a curious stamped cross-hatching at the junction of the central section and the main body. These are marks from where the tap has been turned on using pliers (Crace pers. comm. 2016). This would seem to be replicated on a similar artefact recorded from St Ann Without CP, East Sussex (ref. SUSS-85A5E2 on this database). Indeed, a number of broken peltaic mounts of similar construction and proportions have been recorded on this database, cf. also: ESS-632ED5, SUSS-EA12D2, BH-6E5CA4. A recent example (NARC-2A6CF5) features the stamped letters WARNER, presumably a manufacturer, thus confirming a modern date for these objects that bear a ressemblance to Roman bucket feet. With thanks to Garry Crace for the updated identificaiton of the object as a barrel tap handle (pers. comm. July 2016).

HAMP-EF9F48: VESSEL
A fragmentary cast copper-alloy element, possibly a foot, from a cooking vessel of later medieval to post-medieval date. The element would seem to have an abraded pad and flat back. The front has a central longitudinal mid rib. It has a sub-trapezoidal cross-section and is comparable to a foot illustrated in Butler et al. (2009, 6; ref. 4a). The object has a dark-green colour with patches of a black coating, and other areas of corrosion product.

HAMP-EC9366: COIN
An extremely worn and bent 17th-century silver post-medieval halfgroat of Charles I, Group D or G, London mint (1645-1646 AD; North 2258/2260)

HAMP-ADE273: FINGER RING
A complete cast copper-alloy Roman finger-ring, Henig type VIII (2nd/3rd century AD). It has a flat, rectangular 'bezel', slightly asymmetrical. The bezel and the shoulders are trapezoidal, the shoulders have a flat surface and start 7.7mm wide, narrowing to 6.65mm. The hoop is circular in shape and is quite thick. Sitting on top of the 'bezel' is a raised projection, rectangular with rounded corners; 8.1mm by 4.5mm. The ring is 20.65mm across and 1.7mm thick (4.1mm at the bezel). The bezel is 11.2mm long and 8mm wide. The ring now has a dark-green in colour. There are internal striations and a recent nick to the hoop.

An extremely worn and corroded 2nd-century copper-alloy sestertius probably of Lucilla, uncertain standing figure reverse, Rome mint (c. 164 - c. 169 AD; Reece issue period 8)

A very worn 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of Gratian, 'GLORIA ROMANORVM', Lyon mint (367-375 AD; Reece issue period 19; LRBC 331). This coin has suffered numerous circumferential losses and is therefore incomplete.

An extremely worn and corroded, incomplete, possibly irregular 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus possibly copying Constantius II, 'FEL TEMP REPARATIO' (fallen horseman), uncertain mint (c. 355 - c. 361 AD; Reece issue period 18). It has suffered some significant circumferential losses.

HAMP-412BC3: COIN

HAMP-40E8A0: COIN
A very worn and corroded 17th-century copper-alloy post-medieval farthing of James I, 'Lennox round' type 3d, London mint (1614-1625 AD; North 2136)

A very worn, incomplete 15th-century silver later medieval halfpenny of Henry VI (second reign), London mint (1470-1471 AD; North 1624; Withers London type 2). Losses of around a sixth of the circumference up to the inner circle have left a ragged edge at this point.

An extremely worn and corroded 17th-century copper-alloy post-medieval rose farthing of Charles I, Type 2, London mint (1636-1644 AD; North 2291)

HAMP-403FE1: VESSEL
A cast copper-alloy terminal collar from a drop handle of medieval date. The small zoomorphic style collar is in the form of a beast's head, probably that of a dog. The forward facing head has a gaping mouth and lines delineating the eyes and eyebrows, behind which three further ridges and grooves, some of which presumably relating to ears. The 'neck' is large and is (hollow) oval in cross-section. This recess narrows towards the animal's muzzle. The piece has corroded and is slightly pitted with a uniform dark-green surviving patina. Similar zoomorphic terminal collars can be found illustrated in Egan (1998, 175; ref. 487) and on this database.

HAMP-3FC1F2: KEY (LOCKING)
A slightly corroded medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a seemingly solid stem of oval cross-section with a hollow end, slightly abraded. The bow is moderately circular in shape, with a broadly circular perforation (Ext. dia.: 11.4mm, Int. dia.: 7.2mm). There is a thickened, ridged collar at the junction of bow and stem. At the other end, the bit is a simple rectangle with a cleft at the front, just below the stem, as with a similar key illustrated in Read (2001, 72; ref. 554). This artefact has corroded to a variable mid-green colour.

HAMP-3F0C81: COIN
A worn mid 13th-century silver medieval penny of Henry III, struck by the moneyer Jeremie at York mint (1248-1250 AD; Long voided cross Class 3b)

HAMP-0655C4: TOKEN
A slightly bent cast lead token of post-medieval date, unifacially decorated with a quartered geometric design of horizontal - diagonal - vertical - diagonal lines (Powell type 12) in low relief (see Fletcher 2005, 102)

HAMP-061E82: TOKEN
A worn and corroded cast lead token of post-medieval date, unifacially decorated with a crude fleur-de-lis (Powell type 4) in low relief (see Fletcher 2005, 101)

HAMP-05CE23: COIN
A slightly worn and corroded earlier 4th-century Roman copper-alloy nummus of Constantine I, 'GENIO POP ROM', London mint (315-316 AD; Reece issue period 15; R.I.C. 39)

HAMP-028953: JETTON
A slightly worn, corroded and bent later 14th/early 15th-century copper-alloy French medieval jetton of the 'Crown' type probably struck under Charles VI at Paris (1385 - c. 1422 AD; cf. Mitchiner 465)

HAMP-0213D7: WEIGHT
A cast lead standing weight in the form of a low cone of circular cross-section with a flat base. From a somewhat flattened top emerges an integral suspension loop. The upper surface is decorated with four groups of raised ribs that cover each quarter. There is generally speaking a central rib with two side ribs springing from the same point, splaying out; one of the groups appears to have an extra rib. The weight has corroded to an off-white colour with some scratch marks on the base. Objects found in the vicinity suggest a medieval/post-medieval date for this weight. For a 'bun-shaped' weight of similar form see Biggs and Withers (2000, 23; ref. 29).

HAMP-01A2D7: COIN
An extremely worn, bent and broken mid 16th-century silver post-medieval groat of Philip and Mary, London mint (1554-1558 AD; North 1973). The circumference has cracked slightly at the bends. Around an eighth of the flan has been lost to ragged breaks

A bent late 16th-century silver post-medieval sixpence of Elizabeth I, Third issue, London mint (1596 AD; North 2015). The circumference is slightly ragged and abraded where the coin has been folded.

HAMP-005FF8: COIN
A very worn and clipped early 17th-century silver post-medieval shilling of James I, First coinage, London mint (1603-1604 AD; North 2073)

HAMP-0011D2: BROOCH
A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy Late Iron age to early Roman Colchester (one-piece) brooch. The head of the brooch has both wings intact; they are plain and short with rounded ends. The do not cover the whole of the coiled spring mechanism, which has three coils surviving to each side, and the chord above; the pin is missing. The iron axis bar is corroded within the spring mechanism with a gap where the pin was. The chord is held in place by a pointed rearward hook. The bow curves in a smooth arc and narrows to a rounded point at the terminal. It is broadly circular in cross-section. The catch-plate is heavily abraded with perforations that suggest openwork. Its web extends for 27.9mm up the lower surface of the leg. This brooch has corroded to a red-brown colour with small patches of light-green corrosion product at the head. The foot has been bent to one side as a result of old damage.

HAMP-FD4E97: BROOCH
A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative (two-piece) brooch dating AD 55-100. The head of the brooch has both wings intact; they are shallowly curved. Only half spring mechanism survives to one side; four coils and half of the chord. Half of the iron axis bar also survives corroded in situ. The bow curves in a smooth arc and tapers towards the foot. Just above the flattened head are four small transversely incised lines. These are echoed by further fine, dense transverse lines at the foot. The catch-plate survives well and has a web extending for 24.6mm. The fold is 15.55mm long. This brooch has a dark-brown patina with some pitting and corrosion. The foot has been bent very slightly to one side.

HAMP-FC9D65: COIN
A worn early 13th-century silver medieval cut farthing of John, uncertain moneyer (either Miles or Pieres), uncertain mint (1205-1213; Short voided cross Class 5b-6a)

HAMP-FC3983: COIN
An extremely worn, bent and scratched early 17th-century silver post-medieval sixpence of James I, First issue, London mint (1603-1604 AD; North 2074 or 2075). The obvious defacing of this coin has primarily removed the designs of both surfaces through scratching.

HAMP-FBAEE5: COIN
A slightly worn, bent and clipped 15th-century silver late medieval groat of Edward IV, Second reign, Type XXI, London mint (1480-1483 AD; North 1631)

HAMP-DAE5C5: JETTON
A corroded 15th-century copper-alloy French jetton of the Paschal lamb of Berry type, probably struck during the reign of Charles VII at Bourges (c. 1418 - c. 1437 AD; cf. Mitchiner 550ff.). This jetton is bent and abraded. It has a central perforation surrounded by three others at or just within the inner circle arranged in a triangle. This was presumably to mount the jetton, possibly as a button.

HAMP-DACBB1: AMPULLA
A corroded, damaged and incomplete cast lead-alloy medieval pilgrim's ampulla. The remaining part is the rounded flask, with its sub-circular lower chamber. On one side there is a crown in low relief and on the other there is the letter 'W' surmounted by a crown, the latter all on a cross-hatched field within a line border. This example has been broken below possible handle lugs, with a fairly neat transverse tear. The interior of the chamber has been squashed together, and the object bent in profile, especially at the break. It has corroded to a largely off-white colour. An example of this combination of devices can be found illustrated in Spencer (1990, 89; ref. 180). For further discussion see the 'Notes' section below.

HAMP-DA84C2: WEIGHT
A small cast lead weight of later medieval date used by goldsmiths in relation to bullion. It is rectangular in form with inwardly curving sides. The upper surface is filled by a fleur-de-lis in low relief; the lower surface is plain. The object now has an off-white colour. Its mass of 55.9 grains (3.62g) relates to an eighth of a Paris troy ounce (30.5g) allowing for c. 5% loss to to wear and corrosion. The form and mass are comparable with a pair of bullion weights illustrated in Biggs and Withers (2000, 49; refs. 156, 157) and an example on this database - ref. SF-8F1591.

HAMP-DA57E2: JETTON
A worn and corroded, bent and abraded 15th-century copper-alloy French medieval 'Shield of France modern' jetton (1385 - c. 1422 AD; cf. Mitchiner 1988, p. 175ff.). This jetton has been bent and has suffered some circumferential losses as part of old damage.

HAMP-D9CA63: BUTTON
A corroded cast copper-alloy button of post-medieval date (c. 16th century AD). The button consists of a solid, shallow plano-convex head and a central integral shank that protrudes for 8.4mm with a hole towards the end of the shank to which the button would have been fastened to the item of clothing. The head has a small central pellet, radiating out from which are eight scrolled petals, all within a raised ropework border. Such floral or solar decoration on buttons with similar bosses can be seen in Bailey (1995, 27; ref. 7.19) The examples illustrated in this book are dated to the 16th or 17th centuries. This example is a dark-red/brown colour generally covered with an overlying mid-green and off-white corrosion product. The end of the shank has been bent to one side.

HAMP-D95B88: BUCKLE
A broken and now incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval sub-rectangular double-looped buckle (17th century AD). Each loop was trapezoidal, with lobed protrusions at the corners. Central on the outer edge is a triangular protrusion, with a transversely incised pin rest on the upper surface. There are rounded knops at either end of the pin bar. A thick sheet pin survives looped around this latter. It is corroded and bent downwards at its centre, abraded at the tip. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 84; ref. 523). The buckle has a mid-grey colour due to tinning on the surface.

HAMP-D92146: STRAP FITTING
A post-medieval cast copper-alloy uniface mount in the form of an acorn (c. 17th century AD). On the upper face the cup is delineated from the nut by a transverse step. At the cup's base the acorn has a bifurcated stalk. The upper surface of the cup would have been decorated with cross-hatching but this appears to have been worn down over time. The reverse features a pair of thin wiry lugs which have been bent into the centre of the mount. The artefact has a largely red-brown colour with overlying mid-green and off-white corrosion product. Similar mounts can be found illustrated illustrated in Read (2001, 29, 37; refs. 331-334).

HAMP-D8DBB1: KEY (LOCKING)
A slightly corroded medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a stem of oval cross-section with a hollow end that extends far into stem's tip. The bow is circular with a circular perforation in its centre (Int. dia.: 8.7mm). The bow is slightly thinner than the stem. At the other end, the bit is H shaped, formed of a rectangle with small notched clefts at the centre of the front and back . A similar key can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 67; ref. 550). This artefact has corroded to a mid-green colour. It has been bent slightly in profile as a result of old damage.

HAMP-D81767: BUCKLE
An abraded sheet buckle plate in copper-alloy of medieval date. It is of folded sheet construction and rectangular in plan, with breaks primarily at the attachment end. This latter is vulnerable because it is only the thickness of the upper fold at this point. Indeed the lower fold is highly truncated, trapezoidal beyond the pin slot and only up to 15.9mm in total length. The frame end (the fold) is also recessed for the frame to each side; the frame and pin are absent. The two folds were connected by a rivet beyond the pin slot; its end survives in the lower fold. The upper surface of the upper fold is decorated with a double border of rouletted opposing triangles that follows the edge, including around the pin slot, curved at this point. The field within is decorated by a cross formed of parallel rows of rouletted triangles arranged at right angles. These rows are filled with pairs of transverse groups of opposing triangles. It is the triangles that suggest a c. 14th-century date for this piece. The breaks mentioned at the attachment end are probably also a result of abrasions through two rivet holes located at each corner. The breaks are ragged along the attachment end and extend to a thin strip on one of the sides. The buckle plate has been bent in profile as a result of old damage. The object has a mid-green patina.

HAMP-D7DED2: COIN
An extremely worn and bent 3rd-century Roman silver denarius possibly of Severus Alexander, uncertain ?standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 222 - c. 238 AD; Reece issue period 11)

HAMP-D7A022: COIN
A very worn and corroded 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate of Gallienus (sole reign), standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (260-268 AD; Reece issue period 13). This coin has suffered some losses to its circumference.

HAMP-D793F5: BROOCH
An incomplete Iron Age copper-alloy La Tène I type brooch of 4th- to 3rd-century BC date, possibly La Tène IBc. The integral spring is vestigial due to an old break, with the spring, external chord and pin all lost. Below the head the bow widens out and is pointed oval in plan, with a maximum width of 11.6mm, narrowing again to the foot. The back of the bow is flat and the front shallowly convex. Its upper surface is decorated with pairs of incised lines running parallel to the edge on each side, and a second pair of longitudinal lines either side of the centre forming a pointed oval. In profile the bow is a low arch, rising at c. 75 degrees to the head and foot with a flat central section. The foot has a flat section below the connection to the bow which widens into a small triangular catch-plate to one side with a upcurved side to hold the pin, 10.3mm long and 4.1mm high including the curled outer edge. Below the catch-plate the foot curves up and back on itself before ending in rounded knob. The brooch can be compared with an example on this database, ref. BUC-E0D317 (Portable Antiquities and Treasure Annual Report 2007, 60; ref. 64) This brooch has a dark-green patina where it survives, over a largely mid-green corroded surface.

HAMP-D742C1: COIN
A very worn and corroded 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate of Tetricus II, Spes reverse type, uncertain mint (272-274 AD; Reece issue period 13)

HAMP-D6FCA2: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded, incomplete 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of Valentinian I, 'SECVRITAS REI PVBLICAE', uncertain mint (364-375 AD; Reece issue period 19). This coin has lost around a quarter of its flan in ragged breaks as a result of old damage.

HAMP-D681D3: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of the House of Valentinian, 'GLORIA ROMANORVM', uncertain mint (364-378 AD; Reece issue period 19). This coin has suffered some losses to its circumference.

HAMP-5D94B4: PADLOCK
A small medieval copper-alloy spring-strip padlock case. The case is broadly oval in plan at its centre, with rectangular extensions at each of the narrower ends. It has a rectangular cross-section. Extending upwards from one of the rectangular extensions is an integral sub-rectangular arm (11.75 by 7.3 by 1.9mm). The arm has been bent into the body at a very slight angle. Towards the base of the arm is a small circular perforation, just off centre. At the top of the projection, on the thin inner surface, is a scar from the integral bar which has broken off as a result of old damage. On the uppermost face of the case there is a rectangular recess at the end opposite the arm to take the (missing) padlock mechanism. The recess described relates to an internal disc with adjacent rectangular perforations. At the opposite end is an aperture for the key in the shape of a rectangle. This has abraded through at the bottom with breaks extending into a small loss to the lower surface at this end. The upper face of the case is flat and plain. The sides are decorated with a transverse ridge moulded in low relief at the junction of the oval central element and the rectangular extensions. The lowermost face, also flat, is decorated for the most part by a wavy line, slightly disjointed at one end, around which are a few punch marks. Curved lines following the longer edges act as a border. The case has corroded to a largely mid/dark-green colour. It has been twisted slightly in profile. Similar padlocks from London (Egan 1998, 93) have come from pre 14th-century contexts, although elsewhere they have been found in later contexts (Geake 2001, 50-51). This padlock was probably used on a casket (Egan 1998, 92). This would seem to be a common design with padlocks of this form with similar decoration on the lower surface have been recorded on this database, e.g. NCL-735DF3, BH-C04D35, SF-2EFEA6, LVPL-0331C3, WILT-565CC0, LVPL-512F17, SOM-8F0F55, etc.

HAMP-5D6C44: KEY (LOCKING)
A slightly corroded and abraded medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a seemingly solid stem of oval cross-section with a hollow end. The bow is circular in shape with evidence of some circumferential losses, with a circular perforation (Ext. dia.: 14.6mm, Int. dia.: 8.9mm). At the other end, the bit is of simple rectangular form; the lower half seems to be damaged with part now absent. a similar key can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 71; ref. 534). This artefact has corroded to a variable mid-grey/green colour.

HAMP-5CDDB3: BROOCH
A slightly corroded fragment from a cast copper-alloy Roman crossbow brooch (4th century AD). The fragment comprises one of the crossarms including the terminal knob, all cast in one piece. The knob is 'onion shaped' and circular in cross-section with a maximum diameter of 13.9mm. There is a central protrusion, hollow internally. Between the knob and the arm is a groove, then a collar, oval in cross-section. The arm beyond is 12.6mm in length, is trapezoidal in cross-section, and narrows from bottom to top. It has broken at the pin slot, a naturally weak point. In plan the crossarm is broadly triangular, tapering to the knob over a series of notched steps downwards. On the front surface there is a circular punch within each of the three steps with a fourth punch below the uppermost of them. There is a central ridge at the point of break, which is the vestige of the bar that joined the crossarms. Above this is a recess for a central knob to echo the side knobs. Below is the pin slot, with a circular hollow on the side which would have accommodated the axis bar. The fragment has a red/brown cover lightly dusted with light-green and off-white corrosion product. The artefact can be classified as a Type 3/4 crossbow brooch (Swift 2000, 14).

HAMP-5CDBA3: COIN
A very worn 13th-century silver medieval penny of John, struck by the moneyer Walter at London (1213-1215 AD; Short voided cross Class 6b1). The moneyer's name has been mis-spelt on the coin as 'WLA[T]ER', instead of 'Walter'. This is a known variant for Class 6b1 coins of John (Mass 2001, 466-467), others of which have been recorded on this database. e.g. LANCUM-4479B1 and DENO-DC8577.

HAMP-5C2214: JETTON
A worn and corroded 15th-century copper-alloy jetton of the 'Crown' type struck at Tournai (cf. Mitchiner 631). Its crudeness suggests that it was a stock jetton rather than a royal one.

HAMP-5BA643: TOKEN
A corroded and slightly bent cast lead token of post-medieval date with a fleur de lis on one face (Powell type 4) and a heart surrounded by pellets on the other (Powell type 33), in low relief.

HAMP-5AE9E3: STUD
A broken and incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy bell shaped stud. The artefact is circular in plan with a flared upper surface (Dia.: 29.7mm), concave/dished on the front. At the centre of the front is a conical boss with a flat top with central punched pellet. There is a pair of incised concentric circles at the base of the boss. There is a further incised circle at the rim and a close pair halfway between the rim and those at the boss. The circles are echoed by grooves on the exterior of the object; these may be decorative or part of the manufacturing process. At the centre of the flat lower surface are the remains of an integral shank of square cross-section (5.8mm). The artefact now has an even mid-green patina which survives well. A similar example is illustrated in Crummy (1983, 125; ref. 4143), from a 2nd-century context.

HAMP-5A6D81: STRAP FITTING
A slightly damaged fragment from a cast copper-alloy object: a strap fitting, possibly relating to a sword-belt hook or to suspending a purse. The object would have been broadly U-shaped with a hook at one end and a loop at the other; the loop survives. Within the loop the sub-rectangular slot was presumably for a leather strap (L.: 13.0mm, W.: 6.95mm). Below the slot is a circular perforation, recessed on one surface, whose function is unclear (Dia.: 3.3mm). The loop is slightly distorted as a result of old damage. The break has occurred just below the circular hole at a point at which the object has been twisted. For comparable published examples see Read (2008, 214-215; refs. 771-773); for a complete example with two perforations see ref. HAMP-EA1F45 on this database. The metal has mid-green patina over a red-brown metal of which only traces can be seen.

HAMP-5A3DD4: COIN
A worn and corroded 3rd-century silvered copper-alloy Roman radiate of Valerian I, 'ORIENS AVGG', Rome mint (253-260; Reece issue period 12; Cunetio 481)

HAMP-59EB43: COIN
A very worn silver 14th-century medieval penny of Edward III, Fourth coinage, Post-Treaty period, York mint (1369-1377 AD; North 1295)

HAMP-5948C5: MOUNT
A corroded cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and symmetrical. It has a trefoil terminal, with a broadly trapezoidal body below that terminates unevenly, suggesting a previous continuation of the artefact. The upper surface of the mount is decorated in low relief created through vertically symmetrical curving foliate patterns in the form of fronds emerging from the centre line. The reverse features a single lug which begins at the extremity of the terminal and curves round towards the centre, presumably paired with a similar lug at the opposite end, now absent. The mount's construction and decoration suggests a c. 17th-century date. It now has a mid-dark green patina with traces of a possible dark lacquer coating surviving in the grooves. Such a mount would have probably functioned as a strap fitting. This mount bears similarities in form and decoration with 17th-century sword-belt hooks (cf. Read 2001, 43; ref. 373) and mounts of different construction (cf. ibid., 41; ref. 350).

HAMP-594273: ADZE
A complete knapped flint adze or axehead of Mesolithic date. It has an asymmetrical hexagonal cross-section with comparable areas above and below the median line; where the upper surface thins the lower surface thickens and vice versa along the length of the artefact. A small patch of cortex remains in a slight depression central on the upper surface; flaking has otherwise removed all of the cortex. On the upper surface there are three long removals at the tip at the distal end, one central, the others to each side (cf. an adze illustrated in Butler 2005, 106; ref. 42.1). At the tip are further, shorter flakes, possible sharpening removals; some losses revealing light-grey flint through the more orange patinated surface are probably post-depositional damage. On the lower surface the flaking is less clear, with possible 'tranchet' removals perhaps a result of heat damage alongside short longitudinal flaking at the other side. The butt end curves round at an angle to the main body of the artefact. This curvature allows for easier holding of the object, although it was probably hafted. The internal side is slightly battered, while the external, longer side appears to have suffered more from heat damage. A few other removals suggest at unintended losses due to flaws in the flint but the flint otherwise has crisp removals. The flint is an underlying mid/light-grey colour with some darker seams and patches of light/mid-orange iron staining.

A worn and extremely corroded silver-plated copper-alloy contemporary copy of a 3rd-century silver Roman denarius possibly of Severus Alexander, possibly 'FIDES MILITVM' reverse, uncertain mint (c. 228-c. 231 AD; Reece issue period 11)

HAMP-584711: SUNDIAL
A distorted fragment from a cast copper-alloy post-medieval pocket sundial (c. 17th century AD). This example is of the simple ring type. It has been flattened, bent round at both broken ends, the sundial originally having been circular in plan. Part of the copper-alloy ring survives with a rectangular channel cut in the centre. This once contained a separate sliding collar, which is now missing, and which would have attached to the suspension loop (also missing). The remainder of the median area is recessed. On the external surface, above and below the channel, there are inscribed measurement lines, above which the first letters of the months of the year: 'I F M A' (the earlier months) above, and 'N D' (the latest months) below, upside down and retrograde; the other months are on the sections that have been lost. Circumferential lines below the letters continue round the whole external face, as do the lines that border the earlier months' letters above. Below the former lines, below the letters, are incised transverse lines which act as gradation marks. On the interior there is a pair of similar incised lines directly below the channel that go around the whole surface. There are further incised circumferential lines acting as borders. In the solid zone are punched dots over the central pair of lines, the first of which has '12' stamped over it. Those below have numerals denoting pairs of hours: '11' and '1', '10' and '2', where the lower hours are upside down by comparison. The object has corroded to a red-brown colour with some patches of light-green corrosion product. This type of sundial can be found illustrated in Bailey (1995, 8; ref. 1).

HAMP-581116: VESSEL
A cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. It is broadly sub-oval and flat in profile, with the sections above and below the slot of similar sizes. There are no discernible pottery fragments within the slot. The repair has corroded to a light-grey colour. Unfortunately such repairs are not diagnostic; a wide date range is therefore offered.

HAMP-5744A5: KEY (LOCKING)
A slightly corroded and damaged, but complete medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a seemingly solid stem of oval cross-section with a hollow end; the end has been slightly abraded on one side. The bow is circular in shape with a circular perforation (Ext. dia.: 13.1mm, Int. dia.: 8.5mm). The bow has been bent slightly out of the plane of the stem and has cracked near the junction with the stem, lowermost. At the other end, the bit is rectangular in shape with a pair of rectangular clefts central on either short side creating four wards of broadly equal size. Similar keys can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 72; refs. 544ff.). This artefact has corroded to a variable mid-green colour.

HAMP-480C07: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval plain double-looped buckle frame. The loops are trapezoidal, widening towards the outer edges. Their upper surfaces are bevelled externally; the lower surface is flat. The pin is missing. The frame has a dark-grey surface colour over a red-brown metal. It has been bent in profile with one of the outer edges bent upwards probably as a result of use rather than damage. For similar examples see Whitehead (1996, 81).

An extremely worn, corroded and bent 17th-century copper-alloy post-medieval farthing of Charles II, London mint (1672-1679 AD; Spink 3394)

An extremely worn and bent 14th-century silver medieval penny of Edward III, fourth coinage, Pre-Treaty period, Series C or D, Durham mint (AD 1351-1353; North 1150/1159). This coin has been clipped and suffered some losses to its circumference.

HAMP-43BCE2: BROOCH
A broken and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Hod Hill type, Hattatt's Class B (with side knobs/lugs). The head and therefore the pin are missing, but the rest of the brooch remains, surviving in good condition. The point below the head is narrowed with the brooch having broken at this weak point. Below this is a transverse ridge (W.: 8.85mm). Below this is the bow, a transverse rectangular plate with three transverse ridges with two grooves between. The uppermost ridge, at least, seems to be decorated with finely incised longitudinal nicks. To each side of the plate is a rounded central knob/lug defined by a small longitudinal ridge. As with above the bow there is a transverse ridge below it, beyond a groove. Below this is a group of three transverse ridges that taper with the elongated triangular leg. This latter terminates with a further small pair of transverse ridges. On its reverse is a triangular catch-plate (max. web l.: 16.1mm); the fold is slightly abraded and occupies only around half of the web's length. In profile the brooch travels upwards gradually from the foot up the leg. It does not curves at the bow; the flattening may be a result of old damage. The brooch has a dark-grey patina with tinning surviving well on the upper surface. Hattatt (1982, 89) describes this Class B of Hod Hill brooches as a common military type.

HAMP-4379E8: BUCKLE
A slightly damaged cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a central, pointed lip and triangular recessed pin rest on the inner face. The frame is bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. In cross-section it is triangular. The frame has been narrowed at the spacer for the pin and has broken through at this weak point. The pin survives in situ though bent round and back on itself. It is formed of thick wire and has a rounded tip. The spacer has a sub-rectangular aperture next to the frame (W.: c. 3.2mm) for the pin, expanding to c. 10.7mm as the prongs become defined. One of the prongs has been bent out towards its tip; both have been bent downwards as a result of old damage. The spacer is recessed on both upper and lower surfaces to accommodate the missing plates. The area above the plates, around the pin is raised; the frame by contrast to this latter is lowered. The buckle frame and spacer have a dark-grey patina but this is largely covered by light-green and off-white corrosion product. The pin has a darker green patina over a red-brown metal. The frame's lower surface features file marks. Similar examples of this buckle type can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-82) where they are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century. Buckle frame dimensions - L.: 18.3mm, W.: 28.5mm, Th.: 2.85mm; Spacer dimensions - W.: up to 18.3mm, recessed Th.: 2.6mm

HAMP-435D17: STRAP FITTING
A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy medieval rectangular bar mount. The mount has slightly bevelled edges and retains its pair of rivets, one at each end. It features a central perforation. It is very slightly bent in profile. It has corroded to a mid-green colour with some patches of off-white corrosion product. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 212; fig. 133).

HAMP-4309C4: BUCKLE
A complete single-looped cast copper-alloy buckle of medieval date. The buckle is of oval form with an offset and narrowed pin bar. There are mouldings at the ends of the pin bar. The frame is bevelled externally on its upper surface and broadly flat on the lower with some rounding at the edges. The outer edge is expanded both in width and thickness. It is moulded with four transverse and diagonal grooves forming separated zones. A thick wire pin survives looped around the bar, bent to one side as a result of old damage. The frame has a mid/dark-green patina with some small patches of lighter pitting.

HAMP-424DA7: BUCKLE
A corroded, damaged and incomplete copper-alloy medieval buckle sheet plate. Just under half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. The frame end is recessed to accommodate the frame and has broken at this weak point, with one of the tabs abraded. There is a central slot for the pin at this end. Just below this are two holes through which the folds would have been riveted to each other through the strap; one rivet with an expanded head survives in place. Two further holes towards the attachment end would have functioned in a same way; both rivets have been lost as a result of the holes abrading through. A fifth, central rivet hole can be found between the two pairs of holes. A similar rivet is extant within this retaining a separately applied sheet mount. The mount is in the form of a crude quatrefoil and has lost one of its lobes due to old damage. The upper surface of the plate is otherwise plain but does bear a few traces of gilt. This plate has corroded to a red-brown colour over which is a dusting of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The buckle has been bent in numerous directions in profile.

HAMP-35EF06: BUCKLE
A complete single-looped cast copper-alloy buckle probably of early-medieval date. The frame is of simple, oval form with a circular cross-section. The inner edge around which the pin is looped is flattened. The thick wire pin survives well with minimal pitting. The frame is retained within a simple, short plate formed of a folded rectangular sheet. This features a slot for the pin and a pair of rivet holes at the attachment end. The plate has broken at the strips either side of the pin. The lower half of the fold is abraded at one of these strips and one of the rivet holes. Two small rivets survive with the piece. The artefact is seemingly plain but is corroded with a variable mid-brown/green colour. A buckle of similar form and dimensions, though with three rather than two rivets, can be found illustrated in MacGregor and Bolick (1993, 205; ref. 34.61).

HAMP-35AD57: JETTON
An extremely worn, corroded and bent post-medieval Nuremberg copper-alloy possibly unsigned/anonymous stock jetton of the 'Rose / orb' type (c. 1550 - c. 1585 AD)

HAMP-354102: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed two loops: one oval, the other with an angled outer edge. On one half of the rounded loop a straight projection implies that the buckle had not been filed down. The pin bar extends beyond the loops in knops of trapezoidal cross-section. The buckle is crudely bevelled internally and externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. The buckle has some mid-green and grey covering over a red-brown metal. One can see that the buckle has been slightly bent in profile, upwards at one of the outer edges, imitating the curve of an item of clothing or footwear, otherwise as a result of old damage. Buckles of similar form can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 56).

HAMP-31FF74: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of early post-medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled shallowly externally on the upper surface, bevelling echoed internally on the lower. The pin bar has a trapezoidal, almost triangular cross-section. It has hints of moulded terminals suggestive of a post-medieval date. The buckle frame has corroded to a red-brown colour with a dusting of light-green corrosion product. The buckle has been twisted slightly in profile as a result of old damage.

HAMP-31BDD3: BUCKLE
A corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter more shallowly; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal, almost triangular cross-section. Small traces of dark brown corrosion product on the pin bar suggest that it might have been made of iron. The buckle frame has corroded to a dark red-brown colour with a dusting of yellow-brown corrosion product. One loop has been bent upwards slightly as a result of old damage as has one end of the pin bar. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out.

HAMP-3149F5: STRAP FITTING
A complete cast copper-alloy 13th- or 14th-century medieval bar-mount with pendent loop. The upper surface of the bar mount is rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross-section. This is riveted on to a sheet loop which narrows at its base and is folded back on itself, terminating in a squared off stop which is joined to the front section of bar (and, originally, through the belt) by a single copper-alloy rivet which survives retained by an oval rove. The pendant sits within the loop at the bottom of the bar and is quadrilobate in form. The edge from which it hangs is flattened, narrowed and recessed. The surfaces of the pendent are bevelled externally and feature file marks. A direct parallel can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 219, 221; ref. 1189). This example has a dark-grey/green patina with patches of off-white corrosion product in places.

HAMP-304DA3: BUCKLE
A cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame of medieval date, complete with pin. It is oval with an expanded outer edge, both in width and thickness, and narrowed and offset pin bar. Around the latter is a thick wire pin with rounded tip, bent upwards slightly at the tip. The outer edge has a central shallow transverse groove bordered by a pair of incised lines to each side. The frame is bevelled slightly both externally and internally. The frame now has a fairly even mid-green patina.

HAMP-3001A5: BUCKLE
A broken and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame. The frame is formed of a pair of oval loops with moulded decoration on their edges. There is an expanded, sub-triangular moulding at each end of the pin bar. This is decorated on the upper surface by three incised lines, the central straight, the others angled. There is a similar moulding on the extant outer edge, slightly larger. This pin bar is trapezoidal in cross-section. Around it the basic pin survives in situ bent upwards at its tip. One of the loops has broken directly at the pin bar mouldings, depriving the buckle of one of the mouldings. The lower surface of this buckle is concave as a result of the casting process. The upper surface is bevelled very slightly both internally and externally. This artefact has corroded to a mid-grey colour over a red-brown metal with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product. Viewed in profile one can see that the buckle has been slightly bent as a consequence of old damage, downwards at the surviving pin bar moulding which has also cracked transversely. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 65), dated to the 16th/17th centuries AD.

HAMP-2F75D4: JETTON
An extremely worn and corroded 17th-century copper-alloy post-medieval 'rose / orb' jetton struck by Wolf Lauffer II (fl. 1612-1651 AD), probably 'GOTTES GABEN SOL MAN L', at Nuremberg (cf. Mitchiner 1716)
