Record ID: BM-257960
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A small fragment of gold sheet was discovered. The fragment clearly is part of a larger object, but unfortunately close examination has proved unable to establish from what object the fragment came. It is impossible to establish the date of the object from which the fragment came. Analysis of the metal content of the fragment was also unable to provide further help in dating the piece. The fragment was found to contain 91% gold. Dr JD Hill Department of Prehistory and Early Europe The British Museum London
