Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy object, probably either a stud from an item of furniture or a gaming counter for a game such as cribbage. The object terminates in a conical head and an integrally cast shank emerges below. This tapers gradually to a point. The relatively crude appearance of the shank perhaps suggests that it was intended to remain hidden, making a stud from a piece of furniture more likely than a gaming piece. The object is heavily abraded and corroded and now has a dark green to brown colour, missing most of its suface patina. The object lacks any distinuigishing characteristics …

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of cast copper-alloy metal working debris. It is rectangular in form, D-shaped in section and terminates at both ends in old breaks. The surfaces demonstrate signs of post-depositional wear and corrosion, and are crudely/unevenly finished. It measures 24.94mm in length, 8.79mm in width, 5.04mm in thickness and 5.72g in weight. Although this fragment has a relatively uniform shape it does not appear to have been finished as a complete object. It is possible that it is a fragment from a larger object that has been subject to damage and/or re-use, but it seems most likely that…

Object type: PIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable pin manufactured from cast copper alloy. The object has a flattened disc-like terminal decorated with two raised horizontal lines, the shaft is rectangular in section around the middle, tapering to a point. This object may be part of a brooch fastening, or used for securing clothing. Broadly similar examples, also from Lincolnshire, may be found on this database including NCL-DOCEC4. That particular example has been identified as an early medieval pin, dating from the 8th-9th centuries.

An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object consists of three constituent parts, a central section with a simple decorative interlaced section and two projecting suspension loops, which link to two further loops with what appear to be incomplete circular ends that are heavily abraded. The central section (33.9mm in length, 14.8mm wide, 5.2mm thick) has a raised interlaced section consisting of a figure of eight, which create the loops and a circular band where the two loops meet. The interlaced indentations are not openwork. The two perforations on the…

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible metal Working debris. An object comprising a solid slightly tapered rod of minimum diameter 8.3mm at one end, a medial expansion to a sub-spherical form of diameter 19mm, and the fragmentary remains of a thin curved flange of thickness 2.9mm at the other end. The nature of the object between these ends is obscured by its having been partly melted, which would demand higher temperatures than would usually occur outside an industrial setting. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 43-1800. Length: 31.0mm, Weight: 35.73gms.
