A large and incomplete copper alloy object of uncertain, but possibly modern, date. At one end is a bifurcating bulbous projection with a pair of narrower 'beaks' which are pierced to retain a missing attachment. This end is possibly intended to be zoomorphic and each side has two pairs of projecting globular eyes (thus comprising a double-headed creature gripping the missing attachment. Behind the double head is a narrow cylindrical neck measuring 11.65 in diameter, with a central encircling ridge. At the opposite end is a truncated projection which originally emerged from a group of…

A fragment of a possible gold ingot weighing 3.56g. The ingot, which is a dull yellow-brown, has an L-shaped section and the surviving original edge of the object is stepped in three ledges. The broken edges are very ragged. Multiple parallel lines on the hollow side may suggest a more recent date.

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An assemblage of nine fragments of copper alloy casting waste totalling 83.68g, of potentially Bronze Age date to Post-Medieval date. One fragment is a cone-shaped casting gate with two projecting feeders into a casting mould. This represents the waste metal that would have 'plugged' the pouring funnel of a mould and would have been removed from a finished object. This is similar in form to known Bronze Age examples (LEIC-9D58D5 and ESS-3E54E3); however casting waste is very hard to date in isolation from a finished artefact and so these fragments may well represent more recent a…

Object type: DIE STAMP
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy Roman die stamp with a cast name in retrograde. The object is roughly rectangular and has been crudely cast with flaws and bubbles on its surface. In the centre of the side opposite the name is the stub of an iron attachment. The projecting letters are formed from thin strokes. The object may have been used for impressing a name into a soft substance, such as butter or clay. As the letters are in relief, it is not technically a seal matrix (for a matrix, the letters have to be incuse) but it may have been used to form letters on a seal. Roger Tomlin reports on the…
