A sub circular silvered copper alloy object, of possible Roman dating (1 to 410 AD). It is sub circular in plan, and D shaped in section. The top surface is smooth and domed, with a couple of uneven projections. The lower surface is flat. It measures 20.45mm in length, 21.34mm wide and 6.27mm thick. It weighs 13.1grams. The object could be a piece of casting waste, but there are traces of silvering on a couple of areas on both surfaces. The patina is similar to that found on early Roman coins, but this object is too thick to be a coin.

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular fragment of copper alloy casting waste, of uncertain dating, but possibly Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval (1400 - 1800 AD). The casting waste fragment consists of a sub rectangular sheet, with uneven, almost bubbly surfaces. It is sub rectangular in cross section. Two edges are smooth and unabraded, indicative of a fairly recent break. It is a mid grey colour, with a couple of areas which display a distinctive shiny sheer to it. This shiny sheer is suggestive that the copper alloy has a high tin content. The weight of the fragment is suggestive that lead …

Object type: SCOOP
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy scoop or implement of uncertain dating. The implement is sub rectangular in both plan and cross section. The front consists of a rectangular handle, with an oval depression (scoop) in the lower end. An old break is present at the upper point of the handle, where it has split into three thin metal rods. At this end of the handle, it would appear to be the start of openwork decoration, however due to the break, the exact form and style of this decoration is unknown. The back of the implement has a swelling at the back of the scoop, t…
