A post medieval (AD 1540-1900) ceramic cone-shaped stoneware object which looks similar in shape to tegula mammata from a Roman cavity wall. It has been suggested that this may be the stopper for an acid bottle. The object has some slight damage to the sides of the base. It is generally conical in shape but towards the tip the profile is slightly flatter and it terminates in a blunt point. It is beige stone in colour with a brown glaze. The glaze is uneven, it is not clear whether this is from wear or the effects of the soil where it was found. One half of the object has a darke…

An incomplete copper alloy unidentified object consisting of hook of uncertain date. The hook comprises a circular strand of copper alloy which has been curved at one end to form a deep hook with a flattened section next to the point, which curves out slightly. At the other end the hook has been flattened and splays outwards as well as curving convexly away from the hook. The end of the flattened section is incomplete and there is an uneven break which appears to be at the point of a perforation through the hook.

A fragment of copper alloy unidentified object probably dating to the medieval or post-medieval periods, AD c1350-c1700. The fragment comprises a short section which is sub-square in profile at both ends, with one end smaller than the other. Both ends have evidence that they are incomplete. At the larger profile end, there is a worn groove that slopes out to a wider section. This section curves round and has evidence of transverse cut lines, which may be decorative but their lack of geometry suggests they are wear marks. On the outer side of the curve just beyond the transverse cut li…

A copper alloy unidentified object of probable prehistoric date to 2350 BC - AD 42. The object comprises a length of copper alloy which narrows along its length. At one end the cross section of the object is roughly square and is 10.45mm wide and 9.18mm thick. There is a split across the thickness of the object which at one side creates a small 5.51mm U shaped slot or notch and on the other side the slot continues from into a partial thickness cut 15.86mm long. The object continues straight with the roughly square, gradually narrowing profile which bends twice at 109.39mm and then at …

A copper alloy unidentified object of possible medieval date. The object appears to be incomplete and comprises a sharp spike 18.28mm long which broadens out into flanges 20.86mm wide. Above the flanges, the spike continues for 25.15mm and broadens to 17.73mm. The back of the object is similarly configured except that at the top 13.46mm from the flanges it curves forward into a lip and then back into a curve up to the front. It appears that the top of the front of the pin is incomplete and it may have extended into the section that curved round to retain the pin over a bar or it exten…

A possible copper alloy handle from a Roman steelyard (scales) dating to the period AD 43-410. The handle comprises a single piece of copper alloy in the shape of a hook. At one end there is a blunt pointed section measuring 7.26mm which originally had a loop (now missing) to attach it to the beam of the steelyard. The pointed section then expands into a long oval shape which is hooked and terminates in a knop which is oval shaped with a small section which appears to have been worn away on the inside edge. The handle weighs 5g and measures 32.67mm in length, 12.37mm in width across t…
