Cast copper alloy weight for a half Ryal (Rose Noble) or a Half Noble. The weight is circular and flat with a raised design on one side only. The design is of a ship with a rose on the side of the ship. It is 18.1mm in diameter, 4.6mm thick and weighs 6.55 grams. The centre of the weight has damage to both sides indicating possible re-use, the purpose of which is unknown.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small tertiary waste flake: probable debitage of Mesolithic or later date. The flake is broadly semicircular in plan and a shallow U shape in profile. There is cortex along the struck end. The ventral face is curved and smooth with evident ridges down its length and a high bulb. The dorsal face is broadly flattened as a result of two main removals, with some minor removals at the sides probably the result of post-depositional damage. The piece is thin enough to be translucent with some impurities in the flint giving it a light-brown colour.

A post-medieval cast tombac (copper-zinc alloy) two-piece circular button with central pimple (c. 17th century AD). The front is plain and slightly domed apart from the pimple. The back is concave and rough with a back-plate soldered in place within a border. This latter features three perforations arranged in a triangle around a central integral loop. The loop is rectangular with a rounded end and perforated for attachment; the hole is slightly recessed. This too is rougher than the front, a duller grey than the shinier front.

An extremely worn, broken and bent, probably irregular late 17th-century copper-alloy halfpenny of William III, first issue, London mint, dated '1795' AD (cf. Spink 3554). Around a quarter of the original flan survives after ragged old breaks. This may have been broken deliberately after it was discovered to be a fake. Suggestive features are an incorrect die axis measurement, an unbarred 'A' on the reverse and an unclear date which appears to read '1795'.

None of them retain any of the original pot in the grrove created between the outer sides. Total weight 70.04 grams. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. The lack of any vessel material left in the groove means they cannot be dated directly but they are likely to be Roman given the other material on the site.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and slightly damaged copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame of medieval date. The frame is an elongated D shape oval with a narrow and offset bar; the pin is missing. The sides are rounded. There is a small triangular nick that acts as a pin rest at the centre of the outer edge on both surfaces. There is a small rectangular tab on the internal surface of the pin bar, possibly unfinished. This buckle has been distorted to one side in plan. The object has corroded to a variable mid-green colour. The form is unusual; most buckles of elongated D shape tend to have a knop on …

A very worn and bent, incomplete 14th-century continental imitation of a medieval Edwardian penny struck under Valéran II of Ligny (1304-1353 and 1364-1366), at Serain mint (c. 1315 - c. 1320 AD; Mayhew type 231c-d var.). This coin has a significant loss to its circumference as well as the bending.

Object type: BUTTON
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy composite three-piece button of post-medieval date (c. 17th century). The sheet button consists of a pair of hollow die stamped hemispheres soldered together. There is a small perforation, or blow hole, either side of the separately attached round, drawn wire loop/shank. A detached element is lodged within the object and rattles around when shook, but it is assumed that this is not a pea as with a bell. The head is plain, but corroded with a red-brown colour with traces of off-white and green corrosion product, and some tinning or possible solder around the shank. The h…

Record ID: HAMP-96BEA2
Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval/modern gunflint from a flintlock musket. The flint is broadly rectangular in plan. The ventral surface is smooth and relatively flat; the strikes come in at an angle; the bulb of percussion is absent. The dorsal face is bevelled on all sides, more shallowly towards the distal end where the bevelled area widens, and very haphazardly at the proximal end due to frost fracturing. There is some retouching to the distal end. The flint is a mid- to light-grey/brown colour. The relative crudeness of this gunflint suggests that it may have been a replacement generated in the field.

Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Post Medieval lead cloth seal, of two disk type. Only one disk now survives with the projecting attachment on the back. The second disk and connecting strip has been lost or broken away and the break is worn. The front has a raised design of a large letter A flanked with annulets. There are the remains of a pellet border around the edge of the disk, very worn in places. It is 19.3mm by 18.5mm and 4.3mm thick; it weighs 5.63 grams. The 'A' design indicates it originates from Augsberg, Germany and the reverse disk would probably have had a pinecone; the heradlic badge of the city (Eg…

Record ID: HAMP-5D0682
Object type: RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded, cast copper-alloy ring in the shape of a letter 'C' of uncertain date and function. It has a sub-oval cross-section, being flattened to the wider faces. It tapers to a point at either end; one end has been bent down slightly. The mid-green patina is mostly lost; the object is generally a corroded light-green colour over a red-brown metal. Scratching to reveal the shiny metal internally is assumed to be a recent intervention. Objects of similar form, although generally smaller size, have been recorded on this database and are often interpreted as Roman earrings.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thick strip of decorated cast copper alloy bent around into a penannular form, possibly a finger ring of Roman date that was formed from a bracelet. The strip has slightly abraded edges and now has a maximum width of 16.3mm. It has a flat inner side and slightly convex outer face and is 1.9mm thick in the centre. Around the front runs a decorative panel marked by indented lines at the top and bottom. Two further grooves within these create ridge above and below a wider central band. The ends are slightly rounded but do not appear to be the original ends of the strip as the panel run…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet plate possibly from a medieval buckle. If this attribution is correct than half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. It is rectangular with a pair of neat perforations at the attachment end; neither rivet survives. There is some abrasion at this end which has broken into one of the holes. The other end shows hints of a central recess for a pin although this is unclear. Just in from this end is a perforation which retains a square sectioned rivet with hammered down end. The location …
