A bent lead-alloy token, dated '1590' and probably made around this time or shortly thereafter. This circular token is based on a late 16th century French jetton (see Mitchiner 1988: 1012, nos. 3051 to 3053), is of the same diameter as the aforementioned but contains an error legend which suggests a non-official manufacture. Both the obverse and reverse are executed in low relief, the designs contained within a border of inward-pointing triangles. Obverse: Crowned shield of France, collar of the Order of St. Michael surrounding. Legend: 'CAMERAE COMVTOR[VM REG]IOR'. (sic*) Rever…

Object type: CART FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper-alloy cart fitting terminal of Roman date. The terminal is formed in the shape of an eagle's head, the beak apart holding a spherical pellet between the tips of the beak. The eyes are clearly formed and the terminal has been cast to form pronounced brow ridges over the eyes. Small patches of dried mud and corrosion products prevent the original surface of the artefact from being seen clearly. Despite this it looks likely that the surface may have been detailed with fine incised or moulded lines that formed the outline of the representation of feathers. This detail is pre…

Object type: RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy ring, possibly a curtain ring dating from the post-medieval or early modern period. The object is circular in plan and hexagonal in cross-section. The ring varies in thickness where the object has worn probably due to wearing against another connection. Plain rings of such proportions have often been suggested to be Medieval or Post-Medieval harness rings (Geake 2001, 74), though they are typically un-diagnostic.

Object type: SPUR
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
One half of an arm of a post-medieval spur dating from the 16th-17th century. Only part of one arm and its terminal survives. The arm is flat oval in cross-section narrowing towards the terminal and curving slightly in profile. The terminal consists of two circular loops with bevelled outer edges. Discussion: This style of terminal appears on a pair of iron rowl spurs excavated in Winchester from 16th and 17th century contexts (Biddle 1990, 1039-41, nos.3868 & 3872), but the type appears to have been used into the 18th century too. Spurs with straight arms, like this one, tend t…
