A possible copper alloy headstud brooch dating to the Roman period, c. AD 50 to 200. The object has a sub-rectangular head which holds a hinge mechanism with part of the pin still in place. There are some vertical lines on the wings. The bow projects at 90 degrees from the head and there is a small circular cell which may have formed part of a headstud. The bow does not arch away very much and tapers to point where the foot and catchplate are missing. The brooch could be a very simple headstud brooch with the headloop missing, see Bayley and Butcher (2004: 97) catalogue number…

Object type: DIRK
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragmentary copper-alloy dirk or rapier of middle to late Bronze Age date, c. 1500-1100 BC. The dirk or rapier fragment is sub-triangular, with the incomplete base and shoulders and the base of the blade.

While corrosion has undoubtably removed much of the blade, it seems likely that the blade edges has been worn through use in th…
