Copper alloy casting jet of uncertain date, possibly Bronze Age The jet appears to be complete, comprising two-runners and with a sub-rectangular reservoir (36.0mm x 16.9mm), which is of D-shaped sectioned (with a weight of 24.8g). The top surface is flat, with few of the undulations usually observed as the molten metal cooled. The sides generally converge towards the runners although the wider runner is adjacent to one side. The runners are sub-circular and are irregular (with a surviving length of 17.0mm and 12.0mm), possibly suggesting use of a clay gate. The surface has a dar…

The jet appears to be complete, comprising a single-runner with sub-oval reservoir (with a length of 22.2mm, a width of 19.1mm and a weight of 16.8g). The top surface is concave, irregular from the cooling molten metal. The sides converge towards the runner and are also irregular, possibly suggesting use of a clay gate. The runner is of irregular sub-oval section (with a surviving length of 21.5mm and 8.5mm x 8.0mm) and has is narrower beneath the reservoir, possibly through corrosion. The surface has a dark-green to brown patina with areas of mid-green corrosion. The jet has few d…

Copper alloy bow brooch of unusual form and possibly of Roman date, c. 1st or 2nd century AD date but also possibly a modern pastiche The brooch is near complete, missing the pin (with a length of 55.5mm, a depth of 20.7mm and a weight of 6.5g) and has been forged from a copper alloy strip rather than cast. The missing pin was hinged within a rolled head, comprising the bow simply turned internally with a slot to accommodate the pin. The bow is a simple rectangular sectioned strip (8.7mm wide at the head and 1.0mm thick). The sides are straight and gradually convergent to the poi…

Copper alloy finger-ring bezel of uncertain date, possibly Roman The finger-ring is fragmentary, represented by the bezel only (with a surviving length of 18.0mm, a surviving width of 12.3mm and a weight of 2.9g). The integral plate hoop (1.5mm thick) formed a border around the bezel, now eroded. The bezel has an oval recess (10.0mm long, 9.0mm wide, 3.0mm deep and giving an overall depth of 4.6mm) to hold a setting. At each end of the setting the bezel is faceted, suggesting the missing shoulders were of triangular section. No applied decoration is evident on the bezel. The surf…

Copper alloy object, possibly a surgical implement of Roman date The object is fragmentary, broken or cut on one end and is slightly distorted (with a distorted length of 118.6mm and a weight of 2.4g). Approximately half of the abject is circular-sectioned (1.6mm diameter) and the other half is flattened with a subtle midrib on one face and flat on the opposite face (with a width of 2.7mm and a thickness of 1.2mm). The midrib ends before the break, where the object is slightly thicker (at 1.9mm) possibly because of cutting with a pliers or similar tool. The surface has been strip…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Gloucestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A proximal fragmentary flint flake of prehistoric date. The flake is stuck from semi translucent unpatinated grey flint. The dorsal surface bears two removal scars while the ventral shows a fairly prominent bulb of percussion and strong lines of force. There is a small amount of possible retouch on one lateral edge and a transverse break at the distal end. This object is possibly a proximal blade fragment, but may be simply debitage.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragmentary copper alloy object of unknown function, purpose, and date, although a Roman origin is suspected. The object is made from a single piece of copper alloy, sub rectangular in plan with convex sides and squared off ends, one tapering. In profile the object has curving, flattened S-shaped profile and is much thicker (c. 6mm) at one end than the other (c.2.3mm). One face bears crude incised linear decorations that broadly match the plan of the object with two transverse lines at the widest point of the face. The surface has mostly corroded, with areas of rust coloured and gre…
