A fragment of a cast copper alloy ingot or 'cake' possibly dating from the Bronze Age period (c. 2100-1500 BC). The object is irregular in plan and curved in profile with one smooth concave face and a rough uneven outer convex face. The outer face is rough and pitted. The edges of the object are uneven and rough but with an even patina due to breaks during antiquity. The object has a light green patina and is probably the result of metal working. The colour, texture, shape and formation of the ingot suggests that it may date from the Bronze age period, however without metallurgical…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A medium-sized lump of casting waste of possibly Bronze Age date, c. 1500-800 BC. It is heavily corroded and of highly irregular form. Preserved in relatively poor condition, it measures 38.16mm long down its longest axis, 28.05mm wide, and weighs 39.9g. This piece of waste was found in the same vicinity as SF-3CEE7A, though due to the undiagnostic nature of metalworking debris in general it is uncertain whether they are associated.

A fragment of a possible well and jet perhaps of Bronze Age to Roman date. The jet has a circular section of 11mm diameter which expands into an incomplete conical body 21.7mm wide. The identificaiton is not certain: the object appears too symmetrical to be the byproduct of metal casting.

Copper alloy metal working waste possibly ore dating from the Early Bronze Age, that is c. 2150BC to the medieval period 1500AD. The ore is in an irregular trapezoid and exhibits corrosion products. It is not possible to refine the chronology on appearance alone. The length is 105mm, the width is 90mm thickness 80mm and the weight too heavy for scales.

Fragment of copper alloy found in a burnt mound dating at least to the Early to mid Bronze Age 2150 to 1150BC. The copper is not sheet metal and appears to have been cast as one piece as part of a larger object. It is not yet known what this object was. It should be possible to refine the dating once the charcoal samples are dated from the burnt mound which was the subject of an evaluation associated with treasure case 2016 T518 database number LANCUM-A5AF1B. The length is 48mm, the width is 35mm.

TREASURE CASE 2011 T801: Five ingot fragments of copper alloy metal working waste. All five pieces have traces of a bright green patina although there has been some notable loss of this patination revealing purplish-brown patches. Most sides of the fragments are uneven and irregular with notable pitting and striations on most surfaces. Ingot Fragment 1: 967.2g, 37.2mm thick (tapering to 22.9mm), 89.3mm long and 66.2mm wide. In plan the fragment is rounded on two sides, with the other two sides being more irregular and abruptly angled in form. The base of the fragment is roughly fla…
