Object type: COIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Published
An early medieval Series D type 2c('continental runic') silver sceatta. This type developed out of early series C designs, from the late primary or intermediate phases,perhaps the latter, given that the silver appears rather debased. It was probably struck in the lower Rhine region. On this example, as on many Series D coins, the 'APA' inscription (to the right of the obverse bust, and probably referring to the coin's moneyer) is innaccurately rendered. Obv: Right-facing bust, with poorly rendered runic inscription 'APA'. Rev: Cross with pellet in each angle.

Lead plug with attached pottery fragment. Probably a mend for a pottery vessel. Although the pottery fragment is too small to be dated these items are usually Roman in date. Consists of a sub-oval, slightly convex (ie dome shaped) lead front plate, containing a small hole (damage) and irregular edges and surface. This measures 35.2mm long, by 27.1mm wide. On the reverse a lead stem extends from the mid point of the front plate and terminates in a smaller, irregularly-shaped, second plate (parallel to the first). A small piece of orange courseware pottery is sandwiched in between these …

Lead pot mend. Undatable, although it is likely to be Roman. It consists of an irregular, oblong oval flat lead front plate, measuring 35.6mm long, by 29mm wide. There are some indentations on the upper surface, although these are probably the result of post-depositional damage. On the reverse a lead stem extends from roughly the mid point of the front plate and terminates in a second, smaller, irregularly-shaped plate. Unlike example BH 3B39FO (with which it was found) there is no pottery sandwiched between the two plates. The total thickness of the piece is 12.4mm. The weight was not…

The other smaller area appears to be decorated with millefiori, the elements of which have fused together (by heating perhaps) and rendering the origina…

Sherd from a locally produced hemispherical bowl. There is a line of judder rouletting at the girth. This type of rouletting is indicative of late Roman pottery and cruder than the early to mid Roman rouletting. This sherd dates from the later 3rd to the 4th century, and was probably used as oven to table ware.

The rim to base profile of a plain-rimed bowl with a flange (for holding) towards the rim. The vessel is finely made in a quartz-tempered fabric that has been fired in an oxidising atmosphere to produce an almost orange, oxidised fabric. The flange and rim are burnished on the exterior, and the interior is is also slightly burnished. This tapers out towards the base suggesting that an implement had been used on the interior to cause the wear, possibly a spoon or mortar. The flange would have been held to stabilize the bowl whilst the mixing or stirring took place. It was probably …
