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 dark-green to brown patina with areas of pale-green corrosion.
The jet has few diagnostic attributes and is problematic to date. The form and technology is consistent with Bronze Age castings of tools and weapons using a two-runner technology.

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 diagnostic attributes and is problematic to date. The form and technology is consistent with Bronze Age casting of non-axe tools and weapons using a single runner technology.

Uncertain copper alloy hinged fragment, possibly an unusual form of Roman T-shaped brooch of 1st or 2nd century AD date
The possible brooch is fragmentary, represented by the head only (with a surviving length of 14.5mm, a surviving depth of 7.9mm and a weight of 9.8g). The object had a hinged pin or similar between tubular wings with an iron copper alloy axis bar, evident at both ends and the centre. The wings are truncated (with a surviving width of 32.5mm and a diameter of 5.3mm) and are decorated with diagonal mouldings near the bow. There is a prominent cut between the wings on the rear, presumably to accommodate the missing pin. The bow is of faceted D-shaped section (14.0mm wide and 7.1mm thick) with straight sides for the short distance to the break. There is no other decoration evident on the fragment. The surface has a corroded mad-green patina with adhering iron corrosion around the wings.
The fragmentary state of the object makes identification difficult, the general form is consistent with T-shaped brooches of 1st -2nd century date but the brooch head would seem to be heavy and would be an unusual example.

Copper alloy openwork mount, possibly a harness mount strap fastener of Roman date
The mount is complete (with a length of 42.7mm and a weight of 6.0g) but would be of composite form with a bar to attach to corresponding keyhole part (not present). The terminal has a protruding sub-rectangular sectioned tongue above the raised bar (with a width of 14.8mm, a length of 4.6mm and with an overall depth of 4.7mm). The upper edge of the bar is convex while the lower edge is near flat. A further strip below the bar leads to the mount (1.4mm - 1.7mm thick), decorated with an undulating edge and C-shaped edge cut-outs. At the centre is a circular aperture (7.5mm diameter) flanked by the attachment holes (2.5mm diameter) for separate rivets (now missing). The basal edge is straight, slightly thickened and wider that the rest of the mount (with a width of 17.9mm and a thickness of 1.8mm), enhanced with central incised line. The surface has remnants of a green patina over the stripped brown surface.
The mount resembles male strap fasteners of Roman military harness mounts although the style of decoration is difficult to parallel. Bar-and-keyhole strap fasteners have been dated from the mid-1st and 2nd centuries AD.

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 pointed foot. There is no discernible decoration on the bow. The forged catch-plate is as wide as the leg, with a comparatively short catch (8.5mm long). The surface has a light, pale-green corrosion overlying the red-brown metal.
The simple brooch form is crude with few decorative aspects and is difficult to parallel. While its features suggest a Roman period bow brooch, it is also possible that the brooch is of a modern date, influenced by Roman brooches.

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 surface has a dark-green patina.
The fragmentary nature of the finger-ring makes it difficult to be confident of its identification and dating.

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 stripped and is now bronze coloured with both silver and copper coloured patches.

Copper alloy blade tip, possibly a tip from a spearhead of Bronze Age date
The object is represented by the tip only (with a surviving length of 16.9mm and a weight of 2.1g). The break is old and the tip is of lozenge section at the break (with a maximum width of 11.5mm and a maximum thickness of 4.5mm). The blade edges have been lost but the blade appears to be straight and convergent to the tip. Both faces have a prominent rounded midrib continuing to the tip. The surface is corroded with remnants of a dark-green patina and the suggestion of sharpening striations running along the blade.

Copper alloy cast pin, probably Medieval, possibly of 14th or early 15th century date
The pin is complete, with a slightly distorted shank (with a length of 142.4mm and a weight of 6.3g). The copper alloy head is globular or of flattened-spherical (with a diameter of 8.3mm and a height of 6.6mm). There is no applied decoration evident on the head. The shank is also of copper alloy and has a fairly consistent diameter, but narrows slightly along its length (with a diameter beneath the head of 2.5mm and 2.3mm at its midsection) before converging to the tip. The surface is poorly preserved with remnant traces of a dark-green patina.
Egan & Pritchard (1991, p 297-304) catalogued the metal pins from excavations in London and noted their frequency in 14th and early 15th century contexts. These pins have separate applied heads, often in different materials or alloys. The study further notes that undecorated pin-heads, tend to be longer similar to this example. The pin can be paralleled in its head form and scale with the excavated examples (ibid. fig. 201).

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 grey-green surface, although there are areas that retain the smooth, dark green patinated original surface of the object.
The object is likely part of a larger whole, although its function is unknown.

Four handmade glass beads of differing colours and manufacturing methods. Dates unknown, may range from the Roman period to the 19th century.
An opaque yellow glass bead with cylindrical, slightly tapering form. Produced by forming molten glass around a rod and rolling to form the smooth sides of the bead. The PAS database has two records of similar shaped beads, SWYOR-110E90 and YORYM-B2E6D4, which are tentatively dated as early medieval. 6.8mm long, 8.7mm diameter, 0.77g.
A globular bead of transparent light blue-green glass. The bead has been produced by drilling the hole rather than forming it around a rod. 10.85mm long, 10mm diameter, 1.33g
A bead of opaque pale blue glass. The bead has been produced by wrapping molten glass around a rod. 7.9mm long, 8.4mm diameter, 0.66g
A bead of opaque pale blue glass. The bead has been produced by wrapping molten glass around a rod. The bead’s surface is rather heavily abraded. 7.2mm long, 8.7mm diameter, 0.6g
Beads can be difficult to date out of context and the beads may well date to different periods, although 3 and 4 seem to be produced using the same method using the same size rod, suggesting they are likely contemporaneous.
