Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy Iron Age brooch, probably of the La Tène I era. The brooch is oval in shape, convex and lunular in section. Towards one end a raised knob protrudes vertically with an element protruding horizontally. The artefact appears to be possibly broken beyond this knob; the other knob is missing, as are the pin and any means of attaching it.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very worn and corroded cast copper-alloy fragment, possibly from a Bronze Age blade. The object has shallow facets and is sub-triangular in cross-section. It is sub-pentagonal in shape having suffered a fracture at one end. It has suffered losses and is thus hard to identify, however the slight nature of the fragment may suggest a later dirk, small rapier, knife or dagger.
