Copper alloy blade of uncertain date The object is a tanged bladed implement (with an overall length of 71.0mm and a weight of 5.5g). The blade is leaf-shaped (with a length of 36mm and maximum width of 16.5mm) with a central rib producing a flattened lozenge section (2.7m thick). The tang is of sub-rectangular section and both narrows and thickens towards the terminal (with a width of 1.6mm - 3mm and a thickness of 2.7mm - 3.1mm). The surface has a pale brown discolouration, with a pale to mid-green patina beneath. The implement is difficult to closely parallel and may be seen to …

Lead pan weight of uncertain date The weight is complete (with a length of 18.5mm). Both faces are circular (with a diameter of 14-15mm). The sides are concave, producing a minimum diameter of 12.2mm). One of the faces has the suggestion of an incised design, possibly a star within a circular border. The weight weighs 25.0g, which is equivalent to 0.885oz. The weight is not diagnostic and is difficult to date the weight of 25.0g is broadly consistent with a 1oz weight of Medieval and post medieval systems.

Crude copper alloy sub-conical casting with a flat basal end and sub-circular section. Dimensions 26mm x 20mm x 18mm, weight 23.4 grams. Identification is difficult; superficially the casting resembles the lower part of a vessel foot but it may also be an oddly shaped casting jet. Date uncertain.

Copper alloy blade, probably a blade edge fragment from a Bronze Age axe of indeterminate type and date The axe is fragmentary, represented by the blade edge only (with a width of 46.5mm, a surviving length of 12.8mm, a maximum surviving thickness of 6.7mm and a weight of 9.6g). The break occurred in antiquity and there is no socket base evident. The blade is convex between the tips and the blade edge is asymmetric, possibly through wear at one end. There are a number of nicks along the blade edge, however it is unclear whether these are contemporary with the use of the axe or oc…

An amber bead of uncertain date. The amber bead is spherical with faceted sides and has a height of 33.3mm and a maximum width of 24.5mm. The faceted sides are angled, indicating the bead was likely to have been the centrepiece of a necklace arrangement. The bead has a central circular perforation which has been drilled, producing a regular straight hole of 4.9mm diameter. The surface of the bead exhibits concentric striations indicating the bead has been machine turned and polished. The amber is a rich golden honey colour with no surface patination. The bead weighs 15.4g. A lack of a…

Sheet copper alloy strip, broken or cut along three of its sides, with one of the ends being bent prior to breaking. The outer complete edge exhibits a slight curvature and suggests the strip may have been curved.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Published
Probable handle fragment of copper alloy of uncertain date and broken at both ends. The piece has three ribs; one central rib and one each side, one of the side ribs is more pronounced than the other two ribs. The fragment begins to expand past the ribbed area and this section seems to be defined by an incised line at each end, and contains punched chevrons and diamonds, possibly originally filled with black enamel. This end possibly has an area with a concave profile, possibly suggesting the recess to take a pin for a hinge.

NMGWPA 2002.92.1 (EF2272) – Flint pebble with central void. A cortical flint pebble of interesting form. The central hole, while appearing man made has a natural cortical skin, suggesting it is a geological phenomenon. The ‘point’ of the object exhibits a number of impact fractures, but there is no evidence of systematic working, ruling out the object as a Prehistoric tool (awl or knife). The flint shows evidence of water rolling. The object was found in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, and was likely to have been picked up on or near the coast. There are concentrations of beach peb…
