Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire

2018 T111; Undergoing Valuation
Description: A Late Bronze Age gold penannular ring, dating to the period 1150-750 BC. It measures 16.02mm in diameter at its widest point and 14.67mm at its most narrow, making it slightly oval.

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete gold or possibly gold-plated copper-alloy Late Bronze Age penannular ring, dating to the period 1150-800 BC. The object measures 16.24mm in diameter, is oval in cross-section, and with a gap measuring 2.39mm wide and 3.94mm in height. The thickness of the ring measures 6.59mm. In total, the penannular ring weighs 9.31g. The weight may indicate it is more likely the penannular ring is made of gold, rather than gold plated copper-alloy. There are small indentations on the face of both terminals, probably residual marks from where a stone was wedged between them (with thanks t…

The axe has anangular butt and the sides gradually widen towards the break. Both sides of the palstave have high developed flanges, which increase gradually from the butt to from sub-triangular sides. The sides are unfinished, as you can still see the ridges from the casting process.
The faces of the axe fragment are slightly concave, creating a H-shaped cross-section. The faces of the axe s…

Object type: MUSKET BALL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval lead alloy musket ball, dating to the period 1600-1700. It is 16.23mm in estimated diameter, and weighs 30g. The ball has a smooth, yellow-grey patina, and has been flattened on one side.
Dr Natasha Ferguson writes: "The weights are consistent with musket balls from the 17th - 18th century being around 1oz each. Musket balls bores are measured on the number of balls you can make from a lb of lead, so with 16 oz in a lb that would make it a 16 bore. Both have been impacted with the second ball showing the typical radial grooves on the flat side as it comes into contac…
