A cast copper-alloy artefact of medieval date: probably the terminal fragment from a tumbrel, or coin balance (c. 14th century AD). The arm is perpendicular to the rectangular terminal (tray) and has broken at the perforation that would have taken the axis bar. The arm is bent backwards and is broken at both ends of the perforation (L.: 8.8mm, W.: 4.7mm, Th.: 3.2mm). The tray is rectangular, thin and flat, apart from a moulding just below the loop. This moulding is a raised transverse rectangle with central transverse removal (Th.: 2.8mm): alternatively, two rectangular ridges. The fi…

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large lump of copper, it's rounded appearence suggests it has cooled from molton metal in a crucible or other mould. One side is almost flat, the top is domed and the sides rounded, it may originally have been oval as it appears to have been cut on one face, the cut is now worn. It may have been made on site or have been carried here for metal working.
It is difficult to give this item an exact date although study of the composition might help, a date of Bronze Age - post-medieval has thus been given although it is likely to sit within the earlier part of this range.
It is 38.8mm l…

Post Medieval copper alloy token farthing minted for William Smith of Steyning, Sussex in 1667. Williamson Vol 3. p.1182, Sussex No.165.
William Smith was a mercer. There is a reference, in Sussex Archaeological Collections 19 p.95, to a William Smith of Steyning who had an estate worth £20 seized by parliment in 1655 because the owner was either a Royalist or a Catholic (the ordnance covered both). This may or may not be the same person as issued the tokens but Williamson suggests it is.

A copper-alloy Roman sandal-sole type plate brooch, probably dating from the 2nd century AD.
The plate is flat on top and takes the form of the sole of a sandal with a rounded heel and pointed toe. The front has a narrow raised border round the edge outlining a recessed area in the centre of the plate containg 9 raised circular 'nails'; five running down the centre and pairs to either side in the wider parts at the 'heel' and 'ball'. There is no evidence of enamel in this recessed area although parallels suggest it would have contained it.
An incomplete small circular loop extends …

A broken cast copper-alloy pin with spherical filigree head of early post-medieval date (c. 16th century AD).

The remainer is 22.1mm long by 1.9mm in diameter. The whole piece weighs 1.94 grams.
The head is unusual, in that, unlike other similar examples e.g.HAMP-A136D5, it is hollow with no central ball onto which the filigree was applied. The head is 12.1mm in diameter and divided into hemisphere…

A probable cast copper-alloy element from a knife of medieval to post-medieval date. The object is convex, sub-rectangular in plan and sub-trapezoidal in profile. The corners are truncated and slightly rounded. The highest surface features a slot in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners (9.65 x 4.3mm). Although reminiscent of early-medieval pommels in shape the object shows no obvious means of attachment and seems therefore unlikely as a terminal. It is suggested that it could have been a hilt plate or guard between the blade and handle of a knife. The metal is largely mid-gre…
