Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete possible stud of uncertain but perhaps Roman date, gilded silver (probably - or perhaps or copper alloy) and an incomplete fixing/ shank to the reverse. The object takes the form of a disc with a central domed boss, the flat rim having moulded decoration in the form of eight equidistant transverse ribs. The rim is split along one of these. To the reverse gilding is apparent around the edges and the negative of the ribs is apparent. The interior of the dome is filled with a grey-coloured substance (probably lead alloy) and a patch of green at the very centre, perhaps …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy 'button' or strap fitting of uncertain date, possibly Late Bronze Age/ earliest Iron Age (c. 900-600 BC). All original edges are missing due to recent-ish damage. The object is circular and solid with a prominent nipple to one face and an incomplete loop to the other (reverse). The loop consists of two broken vertical projections, again recent-ish damage, with a deep C-sectioned groove between them, running the length of the diameter. The metal is dark grey in colour and pitted to the front, while the reverse is smoother and shiny. The object measures 11.4…

Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of gold unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is U-shaped in form with a jagged break across the horizontal edge. The two adjoining sides are slightly rounded while the edge opposite to the break is flattened, as are both faces. The rounded edges both show signs of stress/ cracking. The object is similar in form and shape to HAMP-074BBA / 2019 T404, also of uncertain date and function but thought to possibly be an early-medieval coin blank due to notches ('test marks') on the edge. There are no obvious notches on this pieces, except for the stress marks on the r…

A sub-circular white-metal disc of uncertain age and function, measuring 11.8mm in diameter and weighing 0.97g. Both faces appear mutilated and it is impossible to discern an intentional design on either. The object is not concave/ convex which suggests it is not an Iron Age coin, and the metal has a dull grey appearance, not concurrent with ancient silver.

An incomplete or fragment of a copper alloy object on uncertain function, dating probably from the Roman, Early-Medieval or post-medieval periods. The object comprises a flat plate of irregular shape and 1.6mm thick, and consisting of two parts. It is probable that a third part is now missing. One of these parts (sub-heptagonal in shape) retains two original adjoining long edges with a third shorter original edge extending from one. A line of punched ring-and-dot flanks these and carries on around a central convex element (concave to the reverse) consisting of a pointed ovoid (the po…

A gold spiral ring of uncertain date and function made from a rectangular-sectioned rod bent into a circular shape. It is almost exactly four turns or 'coils' of the rod, with a small section of three. One end of the rod is rectangular in cross-section and has come away from the rest of the ring; the other end tapers to a fine point and has been hammered into its adjoining 'coil'. Both ends of the rod show signs of clamping or cutting. The outside face of the ring has been flattened (presumably hammered) to give an even surface but still will clear delineation of 'coils', while the in…
