Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The find consists of a fragment of a socketed instrument, a socketed tool, five fragments of a hollow ring with semi-circular cross section and a length of copper alloy wire.
The find can be considered as an addendum to 2010 T442 based on the location of the find and the typological similarities between artefacts from both cases/finds. Furthermore, the fragment of socketed tool and hollow ring may belong to (and refit with) objects from 2010 T442. This impression was gained from examining the available photos of the earlier case (since acquired by the Society of Antiquaries, Newcas…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of Middle Bronze Age (probably Penard phase, c. 1300 - 1100 BC) flange- or bar-twisted gold torc, consisting of a section including one complete end (Eogan 1967). The torc has a cruciform (x-shaped) cross-section with four flanges coming to a sub-square terminal where the flanges are only minimally visible. It is bent at a curved right angle shortly before the break at the other end.
The complete end is square in cross-section, measuring 2.9x2.8mm. From here the flanges start to become defined and then begin to twist. At the deepest the depth between the flanges is 1.5mm d…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy unidentified object, possibly a fragment of metalworking debris dating to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1000-800 BC). The object is rectangular in shape; one face is flat with three vertical grooves which run the entire length of the face, which create four raised ridges. The other side of the object is undecorated and rounded, creating a semi-circular cross-section. The object is broken at either end due to old breaks and there is a visible casting flaw at one end, which appears to be a bubble.
The object measures 32.2 mm in length, 27.6 mm wide, 9.2 mm thick and wei…

Record ID: LANCUM-085EAC
Object type: HOARD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description: The hoard consists of a copper-alloy spearhead and a copper-alloy axehead, as well as six copper-alloy waste globules from casting, a circular lead plug and two waste lead- or silicone-based globules, possibly of the substance known as 'cremation slag', 'clinker' or 'cramp'. It is possible that the lead item is residual as the field in which the hoard was found has been heavily ploughed. However, lead is not unknown in association with Bronze Age hoards as it was used in the casting process to get a smoother cast. A sample of charcoal was taken from the hole.

A copper alloy fragment of an unidentified object. The fragment consists of a curved cylinder with a roughly circular cross section. There is raised ridge running down the center of the outer surface. The object has a dark green patina, suggestive of a prehistoric date. There is no evidence of decoration on the surface. It is 38 mm long 4 mm wide and weighs 17.9 g.
It has not been possible to identify the object type of the fragment due to the un diagnostic nature of the fragment. It has been suggested that object could possibly be part of a Sussex loop, but it is not possible to c…

A hoard of 929 fragments of copper-alloy plate and their container of likely Late Bronze Age date, c. 1150 - 800BC, possibly of the Wilburton phase (c.1150-1000BC).
Description: The hoard consists of 929 fragments of copper-alloy 'plate'. These pieces range in size from 9mm x 6mm to 58mm x 41mm and are highly irregular. No element can clearly be identifed as coming from either a bun ingot, typical of the period or clearly definet object types. It is noted however that all the fragments are small enough to easily be added to a crucible for remelting. While most of the edges of the f…
