An incomplete Roman puddingstone beehive quern stone, dating to the period AD 1-150
There are a few types of Puddingstone, Green (2017) suggests that it is French and has been imported. A possible suggestion for this importation is that the stones used for this conglomerate are extremely hard, so hard over in Hertfordshire that it was very difficult to use, but due to its tough exterior, it produced almost grit free flour, therefore a much demanded product (Green 2017). French stones are earlier than Hertfordshire products, and were in fact the basis of a whole industry, as it spre…

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete post medieval lead token, dating to the broad period AD 1540- AD 1800.
The token is rather flat, and holds a pale grey, almost white pallor. There is evidence of decoration on both the obverse and reverse surfaces of the token, but the surfaces are too worn for a definite interpretation. Because of this, a manufacturer, location and precise date cannot be retrieved, as well as a comparison from literature.
The length of the fragment is 20.15mm, thickness is 1.76mm and it weighs 4.88g.

A fragment of a medieval copper alloy annular brooch dating to the period AD 1200- AD 1250.
The fragment is D in shape and cross section, and on its anterior surface, it is decorated with a series of transverse lines. The posterior surface remains plain. The fragment appears to be broken at halfway point, so it is unclear to state whether the entire brooch was entirely decorated or not.

A good example can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991) "Dress Accessories" pages 246 No. 1312 and 251 No. 1315.…
