Object type: RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy ring, possibly an annular buckle frame, of Medieval or later date. The frame is annular in form, circular in section and has suffered from post-depositional corrosion. On one side of the frame is a mass of copper-alloy corrosion, possibly the remains of a buckle pin although this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 15.27mm in diameter, 2.43mm in thickness, and 1.12g in weight. The precise function of this object remains uncertain, although it appears likely that it may have been used as a simple buckle frame or similar …

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unpatinated flint biface of probable Early Neolithic date. It is sub-triangular in form and section with irregular and relatively crude all over retouch. The proximal end is missing and was probably snapped due to post-depositional damage. Traces of cortex are visible on the dorsal face . It measures 83.78mm in length, 46.07mm in width, 16.03mm in thickness, and weighs 49.64g. This is an incomplete lithic implement of Neolithic date. It was probably originally a leaf-shaped point and possibly an Early Neolithic 'laurel leaf', dating to c.3,500-2,900 BC.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A patinated leaf-shaped lithic implement of Neolithic date. It is struck from a pale grey flint that has all-over bifacial retouch and surfaces covered in bands of dark red/brown staining or patination. It measures 94.43mm in length, 47.01mm in width, 14.30mm in thickness, and weighs 54.85g. This is a flint 'Laurel-Leaf' point typical of the Early Neolithic period. Lithics of this form have an unknown function but are sometimes suggested as roughouts for leaf-shaped arrowheads. They are relatively unusual finds and date to c.3500-2900 BC.

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy Roman bracelet fragment. It is a plain, annular bracelet of which about half is extant, the rest missing due to old breaks. It has a D-shaped section and is 3.54mm in width, with an internal diameter of 39.7mm, weighing 3.74g. As that part of the bracelet which had the clasp is missing, it is uncertain whether this bracelet was worn by a child or adult, but bracelets of similar dimensions are recorded from Colchester (Crummy 1983, fig.42,no.1643, fig.43, no.1653). Most bracelet finds recorded from Colchester date to the third or fourth centuries.

Object type: STUD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper alloy Roman bell-shaped stud dating to crica AD 43-410. Although small, it can be seen to be part of a circular, bell-shaped object, probably a knob-handle, and shows the everted rim, and recessed underside usually associated with these fittings. Examples are known from Colchester (Crummy 1983, no 4650) and from Coventina's Well (Allason-Jones 1985, no.80). this fragment would have had a diameter of c.24mm. It measures 11.09mm in length, 13.75mm in width and weighs 2.55g. It is too fragmentary to determine a typological sub-class.
