Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
Primary / Early Bronze Age copper-alloy Group II palstave (1500-1300 BC): The blade of the palstave is sub-trapezoidal in plan with slightly concave sides, and flared blade tips. On one face of the blade there is a feint single mid rib which appears to continue to the mid section of the blade. The other face, where they may have been a mid rib, there is an off-centre low-relief score mark or damage, but this is not recent. The edge bevel to the blade is 16.58mm deep. The cutting edge appears to be symmetrical. The sides of the blade are concave in plan, and this curvature stops at the…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a cast copper alloy Roman brooch probably dating from the first and second centuries AD. Due to the fragmentary nature it is not possible to precisely confirm the typology of this brooch. The remains of the brooch comprise the spring and head of the bow. The pin, catch plate and foot are missing. The spring comprises ten coils in total. The head of the brooch is sub oval in plan. The brooch could possibly be a Trumpet or Bow and Fantail. The fragment of the brooch is undecorated. The brooch is of a light-mid green colour with an abraded patina which covers all surfac…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic (c. 4000 to 2350BC) probable scraper or knife. The scraper/knife appears to be knapped from a tertiary debitage waste flake. The flint is sub-oval in plan with a small amount of cortex present on the proximal end. The dorsal surface has stepped, invasive, low-angle, re-touch, whilst the ventral has short, sub-parallel, low-angled re-touch on the opposite long edge. Further, the ventral face has a pronounced bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples set at 90 degrees to the working on the dorsal face. The scraper/knife is made from a translucent dark to mid-grey coloured f…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy brooch fragment dating to the Roman period. The fragment consists of the terminal end of the brooch with catchplate on the reverse; the remainder is now missing. The fragment is triangular in form, tapering towards the rounded terminal edge and the top edge of the fragment in old breaks. The front and reverse faces do not appear to have any decoration. The fragment has a light to mid green patina. Although it is difficult to identify the type of brooch by its foot alone, it is likely that it dates from the Roman period and is a fragment from either a…

A fragment of a copper alloy strap end of early-medieval date dating to circa (AD750-1100). The strap end is probably of a similar style to Thomas' Class B, Type 4 (multi-headed). Only the multi-headed zoomorphic terminal remains, which is sub-rectangular in plan with a rounded terminal and is D-shaped in section. The terminal is in the form of a forward facing animal head with drilled nostrils and a snub snout. A second pair of probable eyes is present above this terminal represented by two circular indentations. At the opposite terminal which is the broken edge where the strap en…

A flint piece of debitage / blade of later Mesolithic date (4000 -3000BC). The blade is rectangular in plan, the proximal end is also rectangular in section with the distal end being faceted 'D' shaped. No cortex with direct short scaled re-touch. The debitage blade is thicker than normal and has evidence from the ripple marks that the ventral and dorsal face have been worked in opposing directions. The flint is a mid-to dark grey/brown colour. The blade measures 39.81mm in length, 23.77mm width (at the distal end), is 9.07mm thick (at the widest distal end) and weighs 8.61 grams.

Two worked / knapped core rejuvenation flakes dating to the early Neolithic period, circa 4000 - 3500 BC. The larger core rejuvenation flake is broadly oval in plan and D-shaped in cross section. A small area of cortex indicates that the flake is from the secondary phase of working of the core. Possible area of heavy patination on the dorsal face, but more probably a flaw in the flint. The flaw or impurity of the flint would explain the removal of the flake from the rest of the core. Light speckled patination present on all the other surfaces.
