Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A bent and corroded part of a cast copper-alloy sheet plate from a buckle of uncertain date. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape. It tapers gradually from a width of 10.8mm at the attachment end to 7.0mm towards the terminal, beyond which the sides curve to a (now abraded) rounded terminal. At the opposite end there is an off-centre tab; the tab on the other side has been lost. This is a pair of rivet holes at the frame end with a third hole central at the terminal. The object has corroded to an orange-brown colour, with large patches of light-green and off-white corrosion produc…

Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy stud attached to a broadly rectangular copper alloy sheet rove. The stud has a flattened sub-circular head and a blunted, twisted shaft of square cross-section. The rove is closely fitted to the head of the stud and the centre is convex. The metal is dark red-brown in colour with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The date is uncertain although it is probably Roman or Post Medieval in date; this is supported by finds made in the vicinity. The rove is 13.5mm long, 11.0mm wide and 1.1mm thick excluding the stud shaft, 11.7mm including. It weighs 2…

An incomplete copper alloy unidentified object, presumably a tool of some kind, of uncertain date. It has a very sharp pointed tip and a worn break at the opposite end (probably the base of a missing tang). The surviving pointed element is conical in shape with an oval cross-section, 29.1mm in length and max.7.1mm wide and 6.5mm thick just above the base where it narrows to 6.5x5.7mm. A collar of grooved linear decoration c.6mm high flanks the base of the cone and features a pair of lines forming a zig-zag between a single concentric groove (at the base) and a pair of concentric groo…

A cast copper-alloy fragment of uncertain date and function. The small piece has a circular cross-section and appears complete at one end. The complete terminal is fairly flat with bevelled edges. Beyond, the object narrows to a waist before expanding to similar dimensions to the terminal. The waisted central section is slightly faceted (Dia.: 6.65mm). Beyond the expansion the object narrows to a shaft with a sub-rectangular cross-section (6.7 by 4.9mm). The old break has occurred just as the 'shaft' begins. The object has a mid-green patina with traces of what seems to be a white met…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. The piece is flat and sub-oval in plan with an oval shape missing one end where there is a straight edge which may be complete or an old break. The front is decorated by a central dot with a large incised circle around it. Between this circle and the edge are three circular perforations for attachment. They are arranged in a triangle and the arrangement suggests the straight edge was not attached to an object in the same way as the opposite end. It may suggest the straight edge is original or possibly had a projection from it. Although plai…

Fragment of a copper alloy object of possible Roman date. The object consists of a pointed drop-shaped element with a tip turned out at 30 degrees angle. The tip and the opposite side are now missing due to old breaks. Both the front and the reverse side are decorated: half of the face has three longitudinal grooves which leave three thin raised lines; the other half is concave on both sides.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A solid cast copper-alloy button with a thick tin coating, uncertain in date, either medieval or modern. It is circular in plan and domed front and back with a definite carination between the sides. There is a scar at the centre of one face, with two depressions, for a seperate narrow copper-alloy wire loop. The button is similar to an example illustrated in Egan and Prichard (1991, 274; fig 178, no.1388) which is from a context dated c. AD 1270-1350. Use of large numbers of such buttons was fashionable in the mid 14th century, however similar small buttons were also popular in the…

An incomplete copper-alloy stud or mount of unceratin date, Iron Age to Post Medieval. This stud is circular in plan with a highly domed hollow head being convex on top and concave beneath. The dome's edge is slightly damaged on one side, while its upper surface is abraded and pitted. An integral spike projects from the centre of the inside of the dome and extends for 12.8mm before terminating in a rounded and abraded end. This spike is sub-circular in cross section (4.7mm diameter). The stud is a light green colour and the dome is filled with concreted soil material. The stu…

An unidentified copper-alloy artefact. The widest part of the artefact is located a short distance below centre, where there is a cylindrical moulding with a simple grooved and ridged moulding at either end. A rectangular-sectioned bar projects upwards from above this moulding, tapering towards the apex, where it terminates in what appears to be the remains of a loop. Projecting below the cylindrical moulding is a flat-sectioned piece which decreases in thickness as it flares towards the distal end, where longitudinal grooves divide the surface into three segments, the central one …

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragmentary stud with copper-alloy globular head and beginnings of an iron shank, possibly Roman in date. The head is broadly spherical. The iron shank seems to be circular in cross-section; the exact way these two elements are joined is obscured by corrosion. From the weight the head appears solid and is 12.5mm in diameter with a flattened top. Below, the corroded remains of an iron shank, c. 2.7mm diameter, are vestigial and corroded. Similar large spherical headed studs or nails are recorded in Crummy (1983, 115; fig. 116) from Roman contexts, although those had copper alloy sh…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring with hexagonal cross section and slightly uneven thickness and width of unknown date. The object is undecorated but has long striations around its outer face, probably from filing or wear, and with two areas of wear where the ring is thinner. Diameter: 27.4mm, width: 4.0mm, Thickness of loop from: 4.6mm, to: 3.3mm, Weight: 7.13g. Such rings are largely undatable and can be as early as Iron Age, but it is most likely a Medieval to Post-Medieval horse harness ring, possibly to link two straps given how it is worn in two places.
