A probable flint plano-convex knife of early Bronze Age date. The tool has been made from an unusually thick secondary flake (with less than 5% cortex remaining on the dorsal).

A probable copper alloy casting sprue of uncertain date. The sprue measures 28mm by 24mm by 20mm and weighs 24.8g. It consists of a flat roundel with three narrow jets protruding from it. It is not typically Bronze Age in form so it probably dates from some point from the Roman to post-medieval period.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible cast lead amulet of Roman date. The possible amulet measures 24mm by 22.5mm by 9.1mm and weighs 28.6g. It consists of a convex face on a flat square background, cast in one piece. The face is oval, with lightly defined eyes, nose and expressionless mouth. It has no ears or hair. The back is flat and undecorated. The face has a Roman appearance (for example it is similar to SOMDOR-86B238, the head of a figurine from Puddletown, Dorset) but is so simple it might equally be later in date.

Two body shards of Medieval earthenware vessels, both found together and of a very similar fabric. The shards are brown-grey in colour, with a much lighter inner surface. There are numerous (probably fossiliferous) shell inclusions of a variety of sizes, and sparse, large, shiny black inclusions, which are possibly iron ore or slag. The fragments are hard and soapy in texture, with a much abraded outer surface. Very similar to the St Neots ware fabric dating to the 13th century, suggesting a similar date for this vessel. Their small size makes it difficult to determine the form of the…

Two shards of Roman fine grey ware, found close together. Consisting of one rim and one base shard of a similar fabric. Both have grey inner and outer surfaces, with darker grey patches that are abraded in places, and slightly lighter cores. The main inclusions are sparse fine mica, abundant clear quartz and sparse light chalky fragments of various sizes. The base shard has part of the gently curving body of the vessel attached. The rim shard is lipped. However, its small size makes it difficult to determine the original form of the vessel.

A shard from the base of a Roman, Nene Valley Ware vessel, dating to the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. The fragment consists of over half of the base of the vessel and a small portion of the sides. The fabric is off-white in colour with a sandy texture. Both the inner and outer surfaces have a dark brown-black slip colour coat that is missing in places, particularly on the inside surface. Abundant very fine quartz sand inclusions. The base is small with a slight neck directly above, before the sides of the vessel begin to widen, suggesting that it may have come from a beaker, flagon, jug or…

A shard from the base of an Oxfordshire Ware vessel. Around half of the base survives. The fabric is orange-buff in colour with sparse sub-angular iron ore inclusions varying widely in size and sparse large chalk lumps set in a micaceous matrix. Dark red-brown slip decorates the outer surface. However, this is heavily abraded and missing in places. Some of surviving slip shows a slight sheen on a few small patches. The base has straight, angled sides and a hole in the centre of the bottom. It would have been quite tall. The lack of further fragments makes it difficult to determine the …
