Broad period: UNKNOWN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of an unidentified object of modern date. The metal is very light and appears cast and may be aluminium. The object has a cylindrical neck with bulbous terminal while another bulbous element is retained to one side of the neck. It is reminiscent of crossbow brooches, several of which have been found at this site. It may be a miscast brooch, however the metal is very light and this observation is made only on form.

A worn but compete lead alloy token dated (AD) 1728. The token is unifaced with the initials S B above the date, divided by raised horizontal lines. The reverse appears plain. These objects were probably tokens or tallies issued to farm workers, in a similar fashion to early modern hop tokens. They could also be a form of advertisement, a poor-man's version of 17/18th century trade tokens.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting/strap union dating to the Late Iron Age or early Roman period, c. 100 BC- 100 AD. The strap union has three circular rings joined at the central point to form a triangular formation. Only one ring is complete. On one side is a vertical strap bar. It is unclear how the opposing strap bar would have situated, if indeed there was one at all. Figure-of-eight strap unions are well documented. As this example has a triangular formation it may be best to categorise it as a Taylor and Brailsford Type 4 (miscellaneous). Other strap unions with sim…

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete late Roman copper alloy strap end, c. AD 350-409. The strap end has two incomplete lozenge-shaped plates separated by a transverse neck with rectangular projections. No decoration is evident. There appears to be a rivet thought on of the plate - presumably to aid attachment to a strap, or possibly a repair. The strap end fits into a class of object associated with a late Roman date, often with military connections.
