Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of probable early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a secondary flake (some cortex remains at the proximal end). Also at the proximal end is the striking platform and below this on the ventral surface is a large bulb of percussion. Ripples radiate down the ventral surface and there are a number of flaking scars on the dorsal surface. The distal end has been coarsely retouched. The mid-grey and mid-brownish grey flint has a low to mid gloss patina. Dimensions: 33.8mm by 29.4mm by 10.6mm Weight: 10.5g

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The terminal and a short length of the arm of a cast copper alloy penannular brooch of early-medieval date. Less than half of the brooch survives and the pin is missing. The surviving fragment measures 17.1mm in length and weighs 4.6g. The polyhedral terminal measures 10.3mm by 9.1mm by 6.7mm. It has thirteen sides: five lozenges interpersed with smaller triangles. There is no trace of any decoration. The arm's cross-section is oval. The polyhedral terminal fits into Fowler's Type G; however, this example does not have a ribbed hoop. The dating of this type of brooch is problematic, b…

Object type: STUD
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy stud of probable post-medieval date. The broadly circular stud measures 18.6mm in diameter and is 2.4mm thick. The square-sectioned shank is 15mm long and the stud weighs 2.4g. The slightly domed head is moulded to represent a rose and the reverse is flat. A similar stud from Brailes, Warwickshire, has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (see WAW-34C200). It has been suggested that the example from Brailes is a furniture stud in view of the square-sectioned shank. However the Crewkerne example's shank is somewhat narrower.
