WMID-35E50D: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Hod Hill type Roman brooch, dating to c. AD 80-180. The brooch consists of the head, wings, upper bow and the top of the pin. The lower bow, foot, catchplate and the rest of the pin are missing. The head and wings survive to a width of 21mm. A vertical slot has been cut into the centre of the reverse of the head to accommodate a hinged pin. The remains of the top of the hinged pin is intact. The bow is convex in cross section and curved in profile. The decoration on the bow consists of a vertical groove on both sides of the brooch. Inside the grooves is a central vertical design in light relief of three circular outlines and curved lined decoration along the outside of the circles. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The brooch is a dark green/ brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Measurements: length 21.7mm, maximum width 21mm, thickness of head 9.7mm, thickness of bow 3.9mm, weight 3.7 grams. Mackreth (2011) categorises these style broochs as the Hod Hill type. This particular brooch has a similar example on p.102, plate 99, fig. 9632 and is dated before AD 180.

OXON-351C99: PURSE
A fragment of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy purse frame. The fragment is made of an oval cross sectioned bar that has been warped out of shape. At one terminal it becomes flat and possibly had a looped terminal although the apex of the loop is missing to an old break. The opposite end is truncated by a transverse break. The bar has two attachment loop projecting from the same apex of the bar. Each is a D-shaped projection pierced by a circular hold half of the diameter of which also goes through the main body of the bar. The bar has a medium green colour. The fragment is 81.7mm long, 6.6mm wide, 6.0mm thick and weighs 12.37 grams. Similar examples on the database include DOR-2363AB, OXON-E06908, SUR-CD5179 and DOR-0D9184

OXON-350F1F: WEIGHT
A cast copper alloy Post Medieval trade weight of 17th century date (AD 1625-1685). The weight is circular in plan with a raised border running around the outside edge (3.2mm wide). The face of the weight has four stamps: 1. a sword for the Sword of St. Paul for the city of London Guildhall at 12 o'clock, 2, a Captial letter A with seriffs at 3 o'clock, 3; a ewer for the London Founder’s Company (Worshipful Company of Founders) at 6 o'clock 4. an unclear mark at 9 o'clock. These are all crossed by an incised circular line placed inside the recessed portion of the weight. On the reverse there is a ring and dot motif and several lateral scratches on the face. The weight has a dark green patina. The weight is 31.3mm in diameter, 5.4mm thick and weighs 26.89 grams. Similar objects are recorded on the PAS database e.g. ESS-F4EC24 which is suggested to date from AD 1714-1830. NMS-4911A7 cites (Ricketts 1996: 50) to suggest that the sword-in-cross mark was not used on weights until the reign of George IV. However, the sword by itself had been the practice since Elizabethan times and since this weight carries both marks as does this example, that the sword in cross stamp may be a later addition on an earlier weight.

WMID-34F815: COIN WEIGHT
A Late Medieval/Post Medieval copper-alloy uniface coin weight for a gold angel, dating to c. AD 1464 - 1604. The weight is circular and flat with a design in light relief on one face, the other face is plain. The design is of St Michael facing forward, standing on and spearing a dragon. The legs of St Michael are bent and he has a halo around his head. The spear is held from top left to lower right. The design is within a double border that is located around the circumference of the coin weight. The angel was first issued in AD 1464 and weights of this type were produced in Britain from the 15th and 16th centuries (Withers and Withers 1995:21). The angel was issued at 80 grains from AD 1464-1604 before being reduced in weight. This weight is for the higher weight standard pre-AD 1604 although the weight has been reduced due to wear and corrosion. There are other examples recorded on the PAS database including; WMID-EA8A5C discovered in Warwickshire, SOM-49711C discovered in Wiltshire and SF-124AA4 discovered in Suffolk. The coin weight measures 17 mm in diameter, 2.7 mm in thickness and weighs 3.5 grams.

NMS-34F45A: BROOCH
Fragment of the footplate of an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy great square-headed brooch of Hines’ (1997) Group XVI. It consists of parts of the footplate bar, inner panel frame and lower borders, as defined by Hines (ibid p5, fig. 1), all integrally cast into a single flat plate. It terminates at the top and bottom in a transverse break and there is an additional oblique break at one side of the wide end. All breaks are worn. The fragment tapers in width concavely and symmetrically from top bottom. The concave edges of each are interrupted twice by a larger and then a smaller semi-circular knop. The entirety of front face is moulded with ridges and grooves, with the exception of the last five millimetres of the narrow end where these fade out due to wear. The bar is a wide and flat central longitudinal ridge decorated with a very nearly straight and central line of closely-spaced punched dots running the full length. To the left and right of this, the inner panel frame and the lower borders consist of a very nearly symmetrical arrangement of narrower ridges and grooves. The narrow grooves run almost parallel at the narrow end and diverge, curving outward, toward the wide end. At the narrow end, there are three such ridges on each side. The central of the three follows the curvature of the edges uninterrupted. The outermost does the same but is joined by semi-circular ridges which border the edges of the knops. The ridges immediately neighbouring the bar expand in width slightly and terminate at about halfway along the fragment, one extending a tiny bit further than the other. After a short gap they are each followed by a ridge which is doubled up like a U and which resumes the same flaring trajectory in parallel. On each side of the bar at the wide end there is a V-shaped ridge, which fits neatly between the bar and the flaring double-ridge. Within one of these there is a V-shaped notch at the edge. This was probably mirrored on the other side, but the detail is lost to the oblique break. The reverse is undecorated and bears no part of the catchplate. Similar to ibid Pl. 63b and especially 64a. 6th century. Length: 34.5mm. Width: 27.8mm. Thickness: 2.7mm. Weight: 9.6g

OXON-34F17B: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative, Polden Hill brooch of Mackreth (2011) CD PH type 5.a4, dating to AD 75-175. Only the pin is missing. The wings survive to a width of 28.2mm and are semi-cylindrical with two oval perforated wing caps with an open back. Brown corrosion product in the perforation may indicate an iron axis bar. The wings caps taper inwards towards the back of the brooch. The front faces of the wings are each decorated with four slightly raised vertical lines formed as pairs with beaded incised lines placed within each pair. A small D-shaped lug projects from the top of the head of the brooch above the wings which is pierced by a circular hole. A small fragment of copper alloy wire is concreted in place through this which is all that is left of the sprung pin. The bow projects from the top and front of the wings with a width of 9.6mm. The bow narrows down its length to a plain rounded foot that is 2.7mm wide. The bow has a decorative ridge defined by two parallel incised lines running from the edge of the lug which thins to eventually merge with foot of the bow. A catchplate projects from the reverse of the bow. This is broadly triangular shape albeit with an upper edge which curves as the bow does. Its outer edge also folds over 180 degrees to the right to form a rest for the pin. The catchplate also has two sub-triangular openwork zones for decoration. The brooch is a dark green colour. The brooch is 65.9mm long, 28.2mm wide, 22.7mm thick in profile and weighs 17.01 grams. Bayley & Butcher (2004: 159) note that the method of pin attachment seen on this example is characteristic of Polden Hill brooches. Similar examples to this brooch illustrated by Hattat (2000: 298-300 particularly No.899) and Mackreth (2011, type 2.a Plate 45 Pl. 50 No. 1785).Both date this form of brooch to the mid 1st to 2nd century AD.

OXON-341AB5: BELL
A fragment of a large cast copper alloy crotal bell of Post-Medieval date (AD 1550-1750). The object is composed of just under one half of the lower hemisphere of the bell (c. one quarter of the object). The outer surface is decorated with paris of incised vertical lines emanating from an incised concentric circular border surrounding the apex of this hemisphere. Within this border is the incised letter R which is flanked on either side by a small incised ring. The fragment is a medium green colour. The fragment is 50.6mm long, 27.7mm wide, 11.6mm thick in profile and weighs 22.71 grams. This is the fragment of a crotal bell, see OXON-609EB1 for a complete example. Such bells are dated from the 16th to mid 18th century although although without evidence for the attachment loop it is not possible to be more specific. Bells with a cast attachment loop are typically dated from the 16th to mid 17th century (see: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/crotal-bells.html). This reference also illustrated an identical makers mark (fig 20) which is part of the inscription for the Robert Wells Foundry thought to cast between 1755 and 1798.

ESS-24DAC9: SEAL MATRIX
A worn cast copper-alloy seal matrix of early medieval date (c.1300- 400). Description: The matrix features a shield-shaped die tapering into conical, rounded handle. This leads to a lozenge-shaped suspension loop at the terminal. The matrix die has a worn inscription with three legible letters '(L)(T/F)AE' at the squared top of the shield, this is underlined by a single straight groove. The relief decoration features a quadraped in movement to the right, with a sub-rectangular body, four lines resembling legs, a triangular face, and forked decoration resembling a tail. A possible cross, flag or staff above suggest this may be the motif 'Agnus Dei'. The object has a green, mottled brown patina. Measurements: 19.9mm in length, 17.3mm in height, 16.1mm at maximum width. 5.72g. Discussion: Compare with other anonymous shield-shaped sealk matrices on the database including KENT-25EAA7; WILT-8F981D and LIN-A8B658.

LANCUM-24962E: TAP
A Post Medieval copper alloy tap (17th-early 18th century). The tap has a bifurcated key, which curves out from a central point in the manner of a moustache, an upside down arc each side of the centre. There is a circular in plan shape mounded under, and as part of this, that widens slightly at the pont it meets the body of the mechanism. There is then a wider flange. Under this is a circluar section which fits into a wider section of the same shape, whihc has a waist where the input pipe and output pipe are fitted, approximately half way down this last piece of the vertical tap. The output pipe has a flange over the top half of it. The input pipe is missing. Across the top piece above the flange, and around the two pieces of the main body are simple, circumscribed lines of decoration A similar tap is illustrated in Margeson (1993:137 fig. 932), which is dated to the first half of the 17th century. Margeson (1993:138) notes "taps with bifurcated keys are seen as an intermidiate stage between Medieval tap keys in the form of a cockerel, Fleur-De-Lis or openwork trefoil, and the flat-topped T-shaped keys of the 18th century. They were used with cisterns". The tap has a smooth light, to dark brown patina Dimensions: 75mm high x 55mm wide, weighs 111.59g. Finders ref: 1882

Dimensions: length 38.8mm; width 22.3mm; thickness 2.4mm; weight 13.68g.

ESS-246962: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast copper-alloy gilt small square-headed brooch (Leigh Class III), of early medieval date (c.500 - 570). Description: The incomplete rectangular head and section of the bow remains, with the terminal on the reverse of the head plate. Focusing on the head, the headplate inner panel is marked by a rectangular recession, and inside features a line of three small circular motifs. The inner panel is bordered with traces gilding, and past this is the remaining section of the headplate on the top and right of the brooch, although there is no apparent surviving decoration or motifs. The bow gently arches with a carinated front, and two vertical incised lines which follow the length of the bow. The reverse features no decoration, and only the sub-triangular terminal remains. The brooch has a dull green and brown patina, with small traces of gilding on the headplate. Measurements: 21.6mm in length, 14.2mm in width, 6.1mm in thickness, 2.98g. Discussion: Whilst there is little discussion on small square headed brooches as a whole, Leighs' (1980) work has a very similar brooch (Ho.23), indicating this is likely a class III type. A piece with a very similar circular pattern can be seen at KENT-E55A9A.

At the base is the narrow, D sectioned recurving hook. The reverse of the tag is plain and unmarked. It has a dark brown patina. The fastener is 29.2mm long, 15.5mm wide, 4.5mm thick and weighs 1.36g. A similar tag is illustrated in Read, 2008, Hooked Clasps and Eyes, page 104, number 402.

SWYOR-22DF93: TWEEZERS
A length of copper alloy decorated with punched crescents. It is probably one arm from a set of tweezers, of Roman to Medieval date, AD 43 - 1500, but perhaps more likely to be Roman or Early Medieval. The object is a flat rectangular piece of metal, bent at one end into a U shape. The other arm is missing. The other end tapers to a rounded point - this is probably damage. The front face is decorated with two rows of stamped crescents. The object is 39.1mm long, 5.6mm wide, 3.0mm thick and weighs 1.46g. Compare https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingguides/tweezers/ and see also PUBLIC-6477D8, OXON-D0CEA9, LVPL-080017 and LIN-863665.

A square copper alloy Post Medieval weight, probably a coin wieght or apothercary's weight, datng form about AD 1500 - 1800. It is square, with champfered edges. One face is marked wth a numeral two (2), and the other has the initial C B (probably), though wear and corrosion make the weight mainly illegible. The object is 19.5mm square, 4.9mm thick and weighs 11.69g. No close parallel has been found, but the mass suggests it could be to measure a French 2 pistol coin (13.48g). Withers and Withers (1995), page 56.

An incomplete copper-alloy decorative hinge probably from a box or possibly a book fitting, dating to the Post-Medieval period, probably about AD 1500-1700. It is now bent at the hinge, and one of its two parts is incomplete in its length. The complete plate is sub-triangular, with an openwork heart shaped aperture. The terminal is a scallop shell, with projections to both sides below. There are the remains of three iron rievts, one in the shaell tmerinal, and two near the hinge at the top of the heart. One projecting tob is tubular and holds the iron axis bar. The 2nd plate appears to have matched, but is incomplete. It has two tubes enclosing the rest of the bar. The object is 31.5mm long, 14.3mm wide, 9.8mm thick and weighs 3.65g. Compare SWYOR-7D1600, WILT-02BF51, BH-97A745 and HAMP-0E0924 among others on the database. The records suggest that the use of a heart as decoration suggests a Post Medieval date, in the 16th/17th centuries AD. KENT-FF3C0E is not quite as similar in decoration, but adds that the style "is indisputably early post-medieval with examples known from 17th century coin weight boxes (Withers and Withers 1995, 10)".

SWYOR-2282C6: SHIELD
An incomplete probable medieval copper-alloy "Octopus" type shield boss mount, dating from AD 1100-1250, of which only the central circular sectioned shank with a bulbous hemispherical terminal survives. The terminal dome has seven curved radiating grooves running from the centre to the circumference, with traces of a surface coating or inlay in the lines. The shaft has two swellings making it appear beaded, and then narrows where it could have fitted into the rest of the shield boss. The object has a green patina. The object is 37.1mm long and the top is 21.9mm in diameter. It weighs 30.60g. This type of object is discussed by Webley in and examples appear in the PAS database at records YORYM-D1DC69 and LIN-B35B23 which cites Addyman, P. V., and J. Priestley. 1977 'Baile Hill, York',Archaeological Journal 134, 115-56, p. 141; fig. 11, no. 82 and was published as Webley, R., 2017 Analyse et interprétation des appliques en alliage cuivreux dites «binding strips » des XIIe -XIIIe siècles en Europe de l'Ouest, Fleurance: Laboratoire LandArc 2 , 3. See also ESS-A17563 and SWYOR-16050E. Webley notes that objects of this scarce type are found across Europe and the UK, are that there is an association between finds of this type and high status sites, particularly castles. He cites the enamelled grave cover of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, from Le Mans Cathedral, c. 1151 as an art historical source for an "octopus" mount in use as a shield boss. He also suggests that the peak of use was from AD 1125 - 50.

ESS-202129: FIGURINE
A fragment of a cast copper-alloy figurine of Roman date (c.43-410). Description: The figurine remains as the left foot of an uncertain deity. The toes have been created by four grooves carved with a square tool. The fragment has a light green patina with traces of a white metal coating, particularly on the sole of the foot. There is iron corrosion on the inside of the ankle where it has been removed from the leg. Measurements: length: 2.09mm; width: 8.4mm; height: 10.3mm; weight: 5.22g Discussion: Further examples of feet from Roman figurines recorded on the database include BERK-024C5D; SF-B6B581; WAW-6191AA; LIN-D80D66; NMS-8E92FD; NLM-E985CC; YORYM-DDABBC; LEIC-F6365B; NMS-13DD47; LEIC-9DCDA2; SOM-AF00AB. The latter includes the following discussion: Although this foot may not have been broken off purposefully, at this time in Rome, feet often had religious significance, being found as outlines around temples (Dunbabin, 1990, 85-106) and used as dedications to the Egyptian goddess Isis (although these dedications were often from Greek dedicators) (Elsner, 2005, 355-360). At this time, models of body parts may have been given as votive offerings to the gods in order to cure ailments affecting that particular part of the body (Oberhelman, 2014, 47-60). Interestingly, when the Roman copy of the Elusian Relief was discovered, a fragment containing a right sandaled foot of a figure was found alongside it. It has been speculated that this is the only surviving part of a second relief believed to go alongside the Elusian Relief (Ritcher, 1935, 216-221). It also notes the following: While researching this the recorder noticed that the majority of the records of single feet on the data base are right feet, (e.g. YORYM-DDABBC, LEIC-F6365B, LEIC-9DCDA2) and that the many of the figurines recorded were missing right feet (e.g. GLO-082F26, KENT-E80066, SUR-CE0231) LVPL-C7C9F6 however, has the whole of the right leg as well as the left foot missing.

ESS-20200B: STRAP END

SWYOR-1FD57A: BUCKLE
A copper alloy, double looped buckle of Medieval to date, about AD 1200 - 1500. The buckle is like two meols type 2 bcukles which shre a single bar, so each loop has an expanded outer edge and there is a knop at each end of the bar. An unusual feature is a narrow zoomorphic projection from the apex on one outer edge. It is narrow (3mm wide) and D shaped in cross-section, tapering to a point. It is moulded with rounded ears and three chevrons forming an animal head looking outwards along the projection. The copper alloy pin survives. It is of D shaped cross-section and is bent round the bar, tapering to a point at the other end which rests on the loop without the projecting bar. The buckle is 44.2m long, 21.2mm wide and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 5.2g. Close parallels for this buckle are not obvious on the PAS database. NLM-43E093 has a similar projecting bar, but the shape of the buckle loops are different. That is also the case for WMID-6C1F33. Meols type 2 buckles date from AD 1250 - 1350. Double loop frames in general tend to date from AD 1400 - 1500. Webley (pers comm) has mentioned uncommon double loop buckles which match single ones which are mainly known from France and date from AD 1000 - 1200. They may be spur buckles. Other double looped buckles with zoomorphic projectins tend to have a head at one end and a tail at the other, such as Whitehead (2003) 387 - 389, which are probably 16th or 17th century. The style of this example makes a Medieval date more tempting.

DOR-1FC34B: THIMBLE

Those bearing the value XVs are for his 2nd coinage; 1604-12 and 3rd coinage; 1619-25 (ibid.)

OXON-1D5585: STRAP FITTING
Post Medieval (mid 16th to 18th centuries) strap mount: The copper alloy strap mount is an inverted sub-triangle with a moulded upper edge. The lower tip has a moulded knop. The outer face has a moulded design. The reverse is undecorated and has two incomplete, integral spikes which are circular in section, taper to a broken surface, but the break is not recent. The surface of the mount has traces of gilding, corrosion and traces of a mid green patina. It measures 32.82mm long, 16.37mm wide and 7.29mm thick, weighing 4.44g. Strap fittings have been in use from the late Medieval to Post Medieval period. Egan (2005:39) comments that when they were used as dress accessories and continued on horse harness straps into the 18th century. The style of decoration is similar to that on dress hooks or fittings of the 17th century (Read, 2008). The mount probably dates to the late 16th to 17th centuries. Egan, G., 2005.

LIN-0C0F6E: PURSE
An incomplete cast copper alloy, possible Pilgrim piece in the form of a scallop shell mounted on a bar c. AD 1500 - 1700. The bar is circular in cross-section with remains of terminal end caps. There is a remnant of a possible suspension loop on one side of the bar, it is a circular with a thinned and pointed broken projection. The shell is delineated by seven central radiate ribs; it is hollow with a circular aperture at the top and bottom, probably missing a central bar which would have passed through the block. One side of the shall has a small, ragged edge hole, probably a casting fault. The object has a coarse mid-green patina. Weight: 11.07g, Length (including rods): 44.86mm, Height: 18.14mm and Thickness: 7.39mm. Discussion This object broadly resembles purse bars dating from the late medieval period, perhaps best paralleling Type B3 (Ward Perkins in the Museum of London Medieval Catalogue). According to HESH-814916 'this type often has scalloped motifs used as decoration. Ward Perkins suggests that this type are the extreme development of the late medieval purse bars and as such are likely to date from the middle of the sixteenth century (1550) (pp167-169)'. The purse bar SF-B4F8A4 carries similar loops, while CAM-EA9050 is also decorated with a block with radiating lines similar to a scallop motif which is assigned Class J (Williams 2018). The size of the object may even place this into the realm of possible miniature pilgrim souvenirs. A miniature replica of a purse-frame dating from the late 15th century is illustrated in Spencer (1980, 22, no. 90), although that example may be linked with the Windsor pilgrimage. It is also possible that this object was surmounted to a symbolic cross. The scallop shell motif appears frequently on medieval pilgrim ampullae, with the Pecten maximus associated with St James and the Santiago de Compostela. References Spencer, B., 1980.

NMS-E1CBF8: FURNITURE FITTING
Fragment of post-medieval furniture escutcheon plate. It very nearly bell-shaped: there a small incomplete knop projecting from the narrower convex end while one of the two double-curved lateral edges is interrupted by a small step. The wide end is partly a straight original edge which runs slightly obliquely to the longitudinal axis. There is a worn break at each corner, however, and a small convex edge which is probably part of a keyhole. There is a single vacant rivet hole at the narrow end, before the knop. The front face is decorated with incised foliate decoration within a single-line border that follows the contours of the original edges, including the concavity. At the narrow end are three large bi-convex leaves, one in the centre-foreground and the other two behind and partially visible, all seeming to converge on the rivet hole.

ESS-CFEAA3: LAMP HANGER
An incomplete cast copper-alloy lamp hanger of medieval date (c.1300-1400). Description: The object consists of an oval loop with circular appature, which connects to a three opposing arms, rectangular in cross-section, joined at the centre, by way of a broaddly square-sectioned stem. One of these arms retains its oval terminal loop with circular perforation, while the other two are broken near the base. Between the arms on two sides, are circular holes but which did not perforated the entire object. The surface has extensive file marks on all areas and has a medium green patina. Measurements: height: 31.3mm; width: 20.2mm; thickness: 5.1mm; weight: 7.92g Discussion: This object would have probably been utilised to suspend lamps during the Medieval period in houses and other similar buildings, the loops at the end of each arm enabling attachment to the lamps themselves. Similar examples have been recovered from excavated contexts in London and their function and usage is discussed by Egan (1998: pp. 130-131). These suggest a possible late-14th to 15th century AD date. Similar hangers can be found on the database at references SF-9CFBF1 and DENO-75F6B4. A group of similar copper-alloy holders with a three-branched base are thought to be likely medieval lamp suspenders. The three lower arms are equally spaced and each is perforated at the end to hold a chain (see Egan (1998), 131; fig. 99). They are attached to a central arm which travels upwards; this is also perforated at its end, presumably for suspension. The role of a fifth loop, central on the underside, is unclear. Such an object could also have been used for the suspension of ecclesiastical censers.

The object is light green in colour with some medium brown surface patching. Measurements: length(overall): 39mm; width: 23.3mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 27.28g Discussion: Similar strap-mounted terrets are recorded on the PAS database (in particular, records KENT-367219 and SWYOR-6BEF21) as well as in published literature (Lewis 2015, p. 84, fig. 4.1 xix). The dating for these pieces is based on the very few examples that have been excavated from stratified contexts, which in general corresponds broadly from the post-invasion period to the end of the 2nd century AD.

DEV-CDC5E9: SPEARHEAD
A broken copper-alloy spearhead, Davis (2006, p.34) Type 3B: Flame Narrow blade, dating to the Acton Park to Taunton Industrial phase of the Middle Bronze Age c. 1500-1140 cal. BC (dating Needham et al. 1997). The spearhead is broken into three sections, most likely through post-depositional damage, but can be refitted to roughly illustrate its original form. The smallest section is the tip, which is blunt and severley pitted. A second section represents the upper half of the blade, and the third and largest section represents the base of the blade and the socket. The blade edges are damaged/corroded, and the surface on one side of the spearhead shows greater corrosion damage than the other. The socket mouth is also damaged, with a subtriangular fragment missing from the corroded side. The original length of the socket may therefore not be represented. The midrib section is lozenge shaped, the loops are incorporated, and the plates are lozenge shaped. The base is narrow and the expansion of the blade appears to be minimal. It is similar to No 209 in David (2006, plate 16), from Glastonbury. Evidence from hoards and radiocarbon dating suggests that Type 3 originated in the Acton Park phase, and had its main period of use in the Taunton Phase (Davis 2006, p.50), dating to c. 1500-1140 cal. BC (Needham et al. 1997). Dimensions: total length of object (once refitted): c. 195 mm, width of blade at blade/loop junction 27.74 mm, maximum width of blade 28.88 mm, width of blade tip 5.29 mm, length of blade once refitted 112.26 mm, length of socket 82.23 mm, diameter of socket mouth 20.89 mm. Total weight: 107 g. Broken section lengths: section 1, 24 mm; section 2, 48.48 mm; section 3, 126.33 mm.

NMS-CDB243: BROOCH
Fragment of a Roman copper-alloy Hod Hill brooch. Not enough survives to assign a sub-type. Part of the bow, the upper part of the foot and a tiny remnant of the catch-plate are extant. All edges of the bow are worn breaks apart from the lower lateral edges as it tapers sharply and concavely into the foot. The lateral edges of the foot are original, but it terminates in a worn break at the end. The bow is moderately curved and thin relative to surviving width. The front face is covered with three vertical transversally-concave flutes of apparently equal width, separated by a pair of low ridges. The foot is plano-convex in cross-section. On the front there is a transverse flute, followed by a ridge. After the taper from bow to foot, the foot widens again, only very slightly, until this ridge is reached. It then begins to taper once more before terminating almost immediately at the break. The remnant of catchplate is about three millimetres long and two millimetres high. It projects from the centre of the rear of the foot and is truncated by the break. Viewed from the side it is triangular, emerging gradually from top to bottom. c. A.D. 43 to 70. Length: 22.5mm. Width: 14.1mm. Thickness (foot and catchplate): 4.0mm, (bow): 1.8mm. Weight: 1.9g

An incomplete copper-alloy composite strap end of medieval date, c.AD 1250 – 1450. Only the front plate remains which comprises a narrow sub-rectangular lower plate with integral crescentic plate projecting from one long edge. The rectangular part of the plate bears two rows of four perforations. The lower row is broken giving the edge of the plate a serrated appearance. Two further perforations are present where the crescentic plate extends. These retain copper-alloy rivets. Both arms of the crescent terminate in worn breaks where there appears to be the remains of further perforations. The front of the object is decorated with faint incised foliate decoration. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated. The metal has a dark green patina and is in fair condition. The object is 31.6mm long, 28.9mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 6.8g.

SUR-CBB217: STRAP FITTING
A gilded cast copper alloy post medieval strap slide of lobed and waisted type (Maslin, 2021). The plate is convex, with two moulded octofoil lobes joined by a narrow oval lobe at the centre. The reverse has a pair of large integrally cast L-shaped projections which would have formed a strap loop. One has mostly been lost. The plate has bent in the middle.

SUR-CB9B17: MIRROR
An cast copper alloy fragment of a Late Iron Age or Early Roman cast copper alloy mirror handle. The object has a curved, tapering arm with a sub rounded cross section. The wider end has a flat oval terminal, 14.1mm in maximum diameter, decorated around the outside with a band of alternating thin beaded and thicker rounded ridges and with a flat undecorated end face. The narrow end of the arm curves to an old break. There is a deep slot cut into the object on the convex side which runs around 2/3 of the way along and half way across the flat face of the terminal. This likely held a sheet metal mirror. One side of the object has faceting from impact damage, probably from a hammer or other tool, and the arm has been twisted. This may suggest that the mirror was deliberately broken up at the end of its period of use.

SOM-CB8D1B: BUCKLE
A complete copper alloy double loop sub-annular buckle, c. AD 1650-1720. The buckle is undecorated. Length: 29.08mm, width: 22.15mm, thickness: 1.8mm, weight: 2.81g. Cf. Whitehead, 1996: no. 278.

SUSS-CB44D9: FIGURINE
An incomplete Post Medieval to Modern copper alloy figurine of a classical male figure. The figure is naked and slender with one cupped hand resting on his left hip and the other arm hanging by his side with hand curved into a circular aperture to hold a now lost object. The head is worn but the facial features survive comprising a furrowed brow, worn nose and long moustache and beard that reaches his abdomen. There are slots and holes to accommodate now lost elements; a rectangular slot at the top of the cranium set slightly one side; two circular indentations at the chest and two more at each shoulder blade. The feet are missing from above each ankle. The metal surface is worn and abraded; with a dark brown colour and areas of bright green corrosion. There are some fresh scratches which are yellow rather than silver indicating the metal is not spelter. Length: 91.2mm; width: 33.6mm and weight: 91.38g. The elongated style of the object and the tone of the patina suggests that the figurine is probably of late post-medieval to modern date. Classical figurines were popular in the 19th – 20th century, and his appearance suggests he probably represents Jupiter or Neptune. The holes in the breast and back suggest that the figure was mounted or sported additional elements, and the clasped hand may have held a trident if the figure is Neptune. For other modern classical figurines recorded on the database see: SUSS-948013.

YORYM-CB2E1F: SWORD
A complete silvered copper-alloy sword quillon or guard of Early-Medieval date, c.AD 900 - 1000. Petersen Type O. The quillon is an elongated ovate shape with a curved profile which is more prominent to the lower aspect which also displays a slightly raised rim. At the centre is a rectangular perforation measuring 18.2mm in length and 5.6mm in width which retains part of a corroded iron tang. The surfaces of the quillon around the perforation display iron corrosion. Two circular perforations are present to either end of the quillon. The exterior surface of the quillon is decorated with incised Borre style ornamentation along the lonest sides. Surface wear distorts much of the design, but enough can be determined to identify it as Borrre-style which is diagnostic of the 10th century. One side of decoration retains a prominent layer of silver plating. The metal has a mid-green patina and is in worn condition. The object is 72.9mm long, 18.7mm wide, 13.4mm thick and weighs 54.2g. Sue Brunning, Curator of European Early Medieval & Sutton Hoo Collections at the British Museum, attributes this quillon to Petersen’s Type O Borre-style Viking period sword which are typically made from iron or copper alloy, and can be silver-plated. Gareth Williams, Curator at the British Museum comments that the Borre style ornamentation puts this object relatively early in the century and that this style often seems to be ornamented with silver plating, and solid silver guards are rare.

SUR-C8DC45: SEAL MATRIX
A complete cast copper alloy medieval seal matirx. The die is flat, circular and 18.8mm in diameter. It depicts a six pointed star comprised of two intertwined squares at the centre of which is a simplified representation of the hill of Calvary with a cross at the apex and the IhS Christogram beneath. To the left of the cross on the hill is a crescent moon, to the right a small star. Spaced between the exterior points of the intertwined star is the legend SALVATOR (latin for savior). The reverse has a tapering midrib with a rounded suspension loop which projects from the top.

LIN-BC6808: SPUR
An incomplete copper-alloy prick or 'rivet' spur of Roman date, c.AD 200 - 410. The spur consists of a central body of rectangular section with a circular rivet hole at the heel to accept a pointed goad. The hole is filled with iron corrosion which extends onto the surrounding surface on both sides. There is a moulded ornament projecting above and below the rivet hole. That which projects above consists or a pair of opposing curved arms. A shorter pair extend below. A large hook extends from the centre at the top. Similar Roman spurs are recorded on the database: see for example records SWYOR-461A70, NARC-D98096, NLM-979D66 and NCL-DD44E4. See also

LIN-BC3E29: COSMETIC PESTLE
A complete copper-alloy Roman centre looped cosmetic pestle. It is formed from a long curved rod, circular in cross-section and becoming narrower towards each end. Projecting from the centre of the upper edge is a flattened sub-circular loop with slightly angular outer edge. The surface of the metal has a shiny dark brown patina. Cosmetic pestles were used together with small matching mortars for grinding substances into power for cosmetic and medical application. According to Jackson (2010, 68) centre-looped pestles came into use slightly later than end-looped ones.

LIN-BC2C0D: NEEDLE
A complete but bent Roman copper alloy needle. The needle has an oval loop with a shank of circular section.

LIN-BC1B11: PIN
An incomplete Roman pin. The head is globular and has an incomplete shaft of circular section below.

LIN-BC0EBD: PENDANT
An incomplete object, probably a pendant of Roman date. The object consists of a tapering shaft of oval section. The shaft is decorated with four bead and reels, and has a wedge-like terminal of rectangular section. At the top, the object appears to be broken around a circular perforation. This object is reminiscent of a group of T-shaped pendants with opposing horse heads, which are of uncertain function. Comparable examples recorded on the PAS database include: WAW-3552E1, SF-BE06B3, SWYOR-B449E3 and BUC-E964E1.

LIN-BBF624: BROOCH
Fragment of a Roman copper alloy Dolphin brooch, circa AD60-150. The brooch has cylindrical wings with an axis bar for a hinged pin. A fragment of the copper alloy pin survives. The cylindrical case is decorated on the rear with a series of vertically moulded ribs imitating the coils of a spring. This possibly also carries over onto the front though this area is worn. The bow is oval in section and is decorated with a deep central groove. The lower part is missing.

NMS-BBE5ED: BUCKLE
Fragment of a post-medieval double-looped buckle frame of the kind illustrated in Whitehead (2003), No. 440. One full D-shaped loop survives along with the top or bottom edge of the second loop, which terminates in a worn break. The central bar is relatively thicker than in the cited example. It has the same trefoil mouldings on the top and bottom edges and the same pair of grooves at either end of the bar, which depict the bar extending through the mouldings to meet the external edge. The extant loop also has the same internal convexity at the centre of the outside edge, although here it is very subtle. On the reverse the bar is recessed, or set forward, about a millimetre from the rear surface of the frame. 17th to early 18th century. Length: 44.4mm. Width: 31.2mm. Thickness: 3.7mm. Weight: 8.5g

LIN-BBE337: VESSEL

NMS-BB6A89: BOOK FITTING
Hooked front plate from a late medieval to early post-medieval book clasp of Howsam’s (2016) Type A.3. It is long and broadly rectangular. The attachment end flares minimally in width and is perforated with single rivet hole. It is now bent forward against the rest of the plate, obscuring most of the front surface. The hooked end is rectangular. The hook is a narrowed integral projection, which tapers slightly in width and curls rearward and terminates in a straight transverse edge. There is some shallow stamped decoration visible on the front face, near the hooked end. This includes some circular and oblique lines but little more can be recognised. 15th to 16th century. Length (estimated, unbent): 46mm. Width (attachment end): 15.5mm, (hooked end): 11.3mm, (hook): 5.5mm. Thickness: 0.7mm. Weight: 2.3g

ESS-BB2393: BEAD
A complete cast copper-alloy bead of unknown date. Description: The bead is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross section. It is undecorated with a dark green patina. Measurements: diameter: 11.9mm; width: 6.7mm; thickness; 2.7mm; weight: 2.48g

YORYM-BB0A5A: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1660 - 1720. The object is a sub-ovate shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame comprises an ovate ring from which openwork foliate motifs extend to either end. A spindle is retained through rivet holes to either side of the frame. An incomplete chape remains around fitted the spindle with a split loop. A triangular pin also remains fitted around the spindle with a closed loop. The initial W or M is stamped onto the widest part of the chape. This is likely to represent a maker's mark. The metal has a dark green/black patina and is in fair condition. The buckle is 39.8mm long, 26.2mm wide, 4.8mm thick and weighs 8.3g. Similar example are illustrated in Whitehead (2016), p.98-99 and is dated to circa 1660 - 1720. Ref: Whitehead, R. (1996). Buckles 1250-1800. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing.

ESS-BAEBB2: STIRRUP
A complete cast copper-alloy stirrup terminal of early medieval to medieval date (c.1000-1100) Description: The object is sub-triangular in plan and C-shaped in cross-section with a sub-circular recess. It probably takes the form of a urnes-style crested animal head which curls around to meet the main body of the terminal and form a circular aperture. The object has a dark brown patina with light green patching. Measurements: length: 17.2mm; width: 18.6mm; thickness: 10mm; weight: 8.38g Discussion: Compare with LIN-223988 which references Williams (1997) who notes these are a highly distinctive group found in East Anglia and Lincolnshire.

NMS-BACF1D: THIMBLE
Base and rim of a medieval copper-alloy thimble. It is a ring with no seam, once circular or oval but now distorted. The rim-edge lies on a single plane but the opposite edge is uneven. For this reason it is not clearly a ring-type thimble; it may rather be an incomplete domed one. It is most probably incomplete in either case; while the rim-edge is smooth, the other edge, although worn, has an incurving burr all the way around, less than half a millimetre thick. The external face is marked by a circumferential groove at about two millimetres from the rim. Between this and the supposed break there are multiple dot-indentations covering most of the surface. They are missing at one side, most likely due to wear. The pattern of dots is difficult to interpret. In some areas they seem to run in a spiral or in horizontal rows. Elsewhere they seem to be distributed more randomly. 14th to 15th century. Length: 22.0mm. Width: 17.8mm. Height: 10.2mm. Thickness: 1.3mm. Weight: 3.8g

ESS-BA4BE1: SEAL MATRIX
A complete cast copper-alloy seal matrix of medieval date (c.1300-1400). Description: The seal has a broadly hexagonal-based handle which narrows at the mid-section before widening again into a three ridged collar which connects to a pierced lozenge lug. The base of the matrix handle widens to accommodate the circular die which is engraved with a possible merchant's mark taking the form of a verticle line on a circle at the base, a saltire through the centre and a cross at the top. In the filed is a crosshatch design. A plain circular border separates this from the inscription which starts at 12 o'clock and runs retrograde around the edge of the die face reading, '+IOVA DI C[ ]BOVRDE. S''. Unusually, the 'S'', meaning 'seal of' starts before the initial mark at 11 o'clock when impressed. This is surrounded by a plain circular border. The matrix has a dark brown patina, with light green coating. Measurements: height: 23.5mm; diameter: 19.2mm; weight: 11.36g

HAMP-BA0BDA: COIN WEIGHT
A square copper-alloy Post Medieval coin weight, made in Antwerp. The Obverse has a seated lion facing left, flanked by pillars with three arches above and floor below.

ESS-B9DA46: KEY (LOCKING)
A near complete cast copper-alloy casket key of medieval date (c.1100-1500). Description: The key is small with a solid stem, ovate in cross-section. A flat bit projects from the upper- and underside of the stem and is broken and worn. A roughly circular bow loop forms the upper terminal. Measurements: 40.3mm long, 19mm wide, 4.3mm thick, 9.57g in weight Discussion: Such keys are a fairly common finds on the PAS database and recorded by Egan (1998, p.112, fig.86), Ward-Perkins (1940, 131 p.XXX) and Saunders (2012, 193 no.208). Dating is roughly 12th to 15th century throughout however due to the simple nature of these keys, earlier and later dates cannot, as yet be discounted.

ESS-B9ACCB: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete cast copper-alloy harness or strap fitting of early medieval to medieval date (c.1000-1100). Description. The object is D-shaped in scross-section, comprising a central plate composed of four conjoined loops from which two opposing arms extend, with oval loops at each end. On of these loops is mostly missing while the other has worn thin and is bent. The object has a medium red-brown patina. Measurements: Length: 64.5mm; width: 19.3; thickness; 4.5mm; weight: 143.7g

HAMP-B949FD: BROOCH
Roman gilded spoked disc brooch dating 2nd-3rd century AD. This brooch is circular in form with an umbonate form similar to a shield boss with six rounded knobs around the raised central boss that has a rounded knob on the point.The raised sunburst pattern in the central area of the brooch is bordered by a raised moulded line that also forms the border to a sunken concentric area that extends to a slightly raised lip around the circumference of the brooch. Traces of gilding are visible on the front of the brooch. The back of the brooch retains a complete spring, pin and catchplate.

ESS-B92AD1: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper-alloy 'gaping mouth' buckle of medieval date (1100-1200). Description: The buckle remains as the zoomorphic buckle frame. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section, the animal head extending upwards from the recatnagular frame in a curve. The zoomorphic upper half of the object has moulded features: a raised triangle on the top of the head between two pronounced ears. Two large tear drop-shaped eyes surrounded by grooves creating eyelids and radiating incised lines creating eyelashes. The eyelids join to create the bridge of the nose followed by a small, circular nose. The lower half of the object is square with a D-shaped opening, the straight side being the bar for the pin which is now missing. This half is flat and undecorated. The object has a medium green patina. Measurements: length: 24.5mm; width: 20mm; height: 16.5mm; weight: 11.71g Discussion: Numerous similar buckles have been recorded on the PAS database, for examples see: SWYOR-2DC3E1, SWYOR-343D2D, OXON-315948, LIN-3D61B5, SWYOR-B57064, NMS-3D5AA5, ESS-407791 and SF-E1A115. This type of buckle has been studied by A. Rogerson and S. Ashley, who have christened it the 'gaping-mouth beast' buckle. It is the subject of an article in Medieval Archaeology (2011). They consider that the head is of Romanesque appearance and so a 12th-century date is likely.

ESS-B8CBED: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete cast copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date (c.1280-1350). Description: The object is comprised of a shield-shaped plate with an integrally cast suspension loop set perpendicular to its upper edge. The upper face of the plate features a heraldic motif in relief depicting an upright bird facing with wings spread, its head facing to the left; the arrow-like tail sits within the basal point. The wings are represented by three lines. The body of the bird is in dark blue or grey enamel, the beak and feet in red. The surrounding field has lost all traces of enamel. The rest of the pendant is patinated a dark medium brown and green and is deeply pitted. Measurements: 41.5mm high, 27.mm wide, 6.8mm thick (at suspension loop) 3mm thick (at plate) and 10.42g in weight. Discussion: Shield shaped harness pendants were incredibly popular and many examples exist on the PAS database. Similar heraldic harness pendants have also been noted by Ashley (2002: nos. 51, 55, 67 etc. pgs 10, 11 and 38) and Read (2001, 53-54). Pendants with enamelled decoration, usually heraldic or pseudo-heraldic seem to be most common in the late 13th and first half of the 14th century, c. 1280-1350 (Griffiths 1986, 1; Ashley 2002, 29-30; Baker 2015, 6). The standing eagle is a relatively common image (cf. Ashley 2002: Fig. 15, no. 143).

HAMP-B8CB45: KNIFE
A late Medieval to early Post Medieval copper alloy knife end-cap dating 15th to 16th century. The copper alloy knife end-cap is formed of two pieces of copper alloy sheet; one is an open-ended hexagon which widens towards the terminal end, and the other a hexagonal end piece. All the external faces are engraved and have linear borders; the wide faces of the cap have depictions of saints; one standing, female figure on one side and one male figure on the opposite side.. Two of the narrower faces have a tree or stalk of grain and the other two faces have a cross. The end face has bearded man with a crown or halo.

LIN-B8AE2E: PILGRIM BADGE
A medieval figure, probably a miscast pilgrim badge. The object takes the form of a two-dimensional figure standing, holding a book. The figure is plano-convex with cast mouldings depicting different features. The figure is shown slightly sideways on and with feet apart. The book is held slightly to the figure's left side. These features give the figure the sense that he/she is slowly advancing forwards while reading or reciting. The figure has an oval head with a thick band of hair. The face is worn but the eyes and nose are visible. The figure clasps a book with both hands; the head is turned slightly downwards so that the eyes gaze onto the pages of the book. The figure wears a long robe, the folds of which are depicted by a series of vertical mouldings. A double hem wraps around the base of the robe. An irregular piece of metal adheres to the shoulder of the saint which might be untrimmed casting waste. The surface is irregular in plan and also on both the front and the reverse. A lozenge shaped cell is also depressed into the revese of the object in the area of the chest. The reverse of the object has a dull brown patina suggestive of lead; however, the front has patches of dull green patina suggestive of copper alloy.

KENT-B8608B: COIN
A uniface cast copper alloy unit dating to the later Iron Age (c 100 BC - AD 40). Although elements of the design are evident, it is so far unidentified. Measurements: Diameter: 14.6 mm and Weight: 1.29 g.

SUR-B76E99: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative Harlow double-lugged type dating to the first century AD. The arms are semi-cylindrical and enclose a copper alloy spring which is retained by the double lugs at the centre of the head. The bow is narrow with a D-shaped plano convex cross section and tapers to the foot, which is missing along with the catchplate. There is a medial ridge at the head, but otherwise it appears undecorated.

LIN-B75E8C: MOUNT
A late early-medieval openwork copper-alloy decorative zoomorphic mount, possibly from a strap or horse harness and dating to the 11th century AD. The mount is in the form of a convex, oval beast head with moulded ears and openwork eyes to either side of a moulded snout. Projecting from the snout is a trilobed or fleur-de-lys terminal representing a tongue. There is a single copper alloy or iron rivet through the tip of the tongue. The reverse of the mount is hollow. Notes: See HAMP-E8A865, DEV-6CD12E, GLO-B41CB2, WMID-C6E687, WMID-C6E687 SWYOR-DD74CC, NCL-CD4F50, LIN-EF4B51, SOM-9F0DE1 and BERK-204B1F for similar.

SUR-B74A27: BROOCH
A cast copper alloy brooch of early Anglo-Saxon "supporting-arm" type, dating c.AD 400-450. The brooch is 33.3mm in length and 25.1mm wide, with a trapezoidal head which would have had flanking projections drilled to hold a spindle carrying an iron spring, all of which are now missing although traces of iron remain on the flat underside of the head. The bow is sharply curved and has a rectangular cross section with incised transverse lines decorating the junctions with the head and foot. There are further incised lines running along the bow and flanking notches near the foot which appear to imitate a decorative waisted reel with collars of a type seen on earlier Roman bow brooches. The foot is incomplete and decorated with incised transverse lines; on the underside is a stump of a catchplate. The surface has traces of tinning.

LIN-B6F2DA: SLEEVE CLASP
Fragment of an Anglo-Saxon copper alloy sleeve clasp of Hines 1993 Form B7. The fragment is made of flat rectangular sheet copper alloy and is the eye-plate.

A worn late Roman copper alloy nummus, probably of the House of Valentinian (AD364-78). The reverse is illegible.

LIN-B5D902: BELL
A post medieval copper alloy bell dating circa 1500-1700. The bell is formed of a wide dome with a lozenge shaped, integrally cast, loop at the apex. Two concentric bands decorate the apex. Two small holes are situated in the interior at the apex. These would have suspended a clapper. Iron corrosion is visible on the interior wall. The bell has a a mid brown-grey patina. This bell is comparable with BUC-DDB403.

SUR-B5CACB: BROOCH
A complete cast copper alloy medieval annular figurative brooch. The frame is moulded into a depiction of a male figure standing on the left, with a beast on the right which is most likely a dragon. The figure's left arm is outstretched to form a bar for a copper alloy wire pin, which remains in place, and joins to the head of the beast. The feet of the figure merge into the end of the beast's tail which curves up and around to the left on the lower edge of the frame. Moulded facial details on the figure and depictions of eyes and scales on the beast are visible. The figure appears to be wearing a simple tunic and may be holding a sword in the right hand, although wear has made the details difficult to see. There are small openwork holes at the beast's head and tail; those near the head appear to define a pair of front limbs flanking a narrowed neck, with the one near the tail possibly defining a rear limb which also acts as a pin rest. The brooch most likely depicts St George and the dragon as an allegorical representation of the power of good over evil. .

LIN-B59FA9: CLASP
A cast copper-alloy zoomorphic clasp dating to the late medieval period c.AD 1300-1400. The decorated clasp has a single loop frame that is trapezoidal. The moulding beyond the loop is in the form of the head of a beast, with its mouth wide open like a basking shark. On the top of the head is a Y-shaped crest forming eyebrows and a nose terminating in a wedge-shaped snout and surrounding the eyes which are circular holes. Behind the brows are short linear grooves and to the right and left of the head of this, on each side of the head, are small pointed ears, now very worn, delineated by triangular grooves. Missing its strap plate. Length: 27.05 mm; Width: 16.31 mm; Thickness: 5.02 mm; Weight: 3.79g See records NMS-64D9D3, LIN-B6AD65 and DENO-508E28 for similar examples.

LIN-B56AFA: BUCKLE
An incomplete medieval to early post-medeival copper alloy buckle plate dating from the 12th to 16th century (c.AD 1100-1600) The buckle plate is rectangular in shape with two projecting worn rectangular lugs on the inside width edge, which would have originally folded over the buckle frame. Between the lugs is the remains of the pin slot. There are two rivet holes at the opposite width with one retaining a very worn copper-alloy rivet. The plate is decorated on one side with four equidistant bosses or domes surrounded by a collar, the domes are decorated with a double-stranded incised cross or X and at the centre is a very worn low-relief boss. The decoration is housed within a raised border. The plate has traces of gilding. The reverse is undecorated. Mid green patina with bright green patches. Length: 22.18mm; Width: 18.48 mm; Thickness:2.08 mm; Weight: 2.29g While there are no exact stylistic parallels for this buckle plate on the PAS database, ornate buckle plates are catalogued in Margeson 1993 (fig. 14, p. 27) from Norwich dated to the 14th and 15th century.

OXON-B55938: BROOCH
A Roman (2nd to early 3rd century) copper alloy disc brooch: The brooch is an irregular oval but was probably originally circular. The edges are all broken edges, but not recently broken. The upper surface of the brooch is decorated; it has a central circular high-relief annulet. This annulet is at the centre of another larger annulet. In the fields around the annulets there was probably enamel, of which there is now no trace. On the reverse there are no traces of a catchplate or integral lugs. The brooch has a light to mid green coloured patina which is abraded.. It measures 26.48mm long and 18.74mm wide, 2.51mm thick. It weighs 4.5g. Hattat (1985) illustrates a very similar brooch, No. 521 and dates it to the 2nd century. Bayley and Butcher (2004, 176) comments plate brooches continued into the early 3rd century.

OXON-B41BA8: VESSEL
Medieval or Post Medieval (12th to mid-19th century) cooking vessel leg: The leg is sub-rectangular which slightly flares outwards at the lower corners. The upper edge is broken, but not recently as the patina covers the breaks. The break also has a carbon deposit in the concave area of the break. The outer face has a prominent central, vertical ridge. In profile the reverse of the leg is vertical. The surface has a mid green coloured patina. The leg measures 36.57mm in length, 40.34mm wide, 28.17mm thick across the base of the foot and weighs 133.1g. It is uncertain what type of vessel this leg comes from, but Egan (1998) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. According to Butler, Green and Payne (2009), "From about AD 1100, cast copper alloy vessels...were commonly used for down hearth cooking, with the vessel sitting amongst the embers or suspended over the fire. All but the poorest Medieval or Post-Medieval households would have had at least one metal cooking vessel....These vessels gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superseded by cast iron pots...".

PUBLIC-ABD28A: MEDAL
A copper-alloy plated medal dating to the period 1790-1799. The medal was issued by the Society of Industry, founded 1783. The medal is the work of John Milton (1759-1805) (Stainton 1983). Obverse: PLENTY & PEACE ARE THE FRUITS OF INDUSTRY & SUBORDINATION; on the right - a draped female figure (Peace) seated, holding an olive branch. On the left - another female (Plenty) empties a cornucopia at her feet. Between them, a bee-hive (for industry). Reverse: SOCIETY OF INDUSTRY FOUNDED XXIX NOVEMBER MDCCLXXXIII; text over three lines in a scrolling font: Mrs WALLS / SUBSCRIBER / 1785 There is a thin wire, rectangular shaped hanging loop on the top of the medal suitable for a ribbon. The loop is soldered on. This medal is testimony to an initiative undertaken in the 1780s and 90s to help poor children across some 143 parishes in Lincolnshire. At the time of writing, this is only the second surviving medal recorded on PAS. See LIN-16C4CD for the other. The history of the scheme was summarised by Eden in 1797. He wrote: 'At the conclusion of the American war, the Rates in this parish (Spilsby, Lincolnshire), were so high, and the poverty of the labouring classes in this part of the county of Lincoln so great, that the Magistrates for the southern division of Lindsay were induced to publish orders for purchasing materials, providing proper places to set the Poor to work in, and teaching all poor children in the district to knit before the were six, and to spin before they were nine years of age. Towards the end of the year 1783, these laudable views were much assisted by the establishment of a Society, for the promotion of industry, by distributing premiums, in various articles of clothing, amongst such children, of certain ages and descriptions, within the district, as should, within a given time, produce the greatest quantity of work, of different kinds, and of the best quality. To carry this project into execution, the parishes within the district were to subscribe a sum equal to one per cent of their last year's Poor's Rates; and individuals, within the district, to subscribe 5s each annually. From these funds, and several private benefactions, schools were soon provided in the spinning of jersey: and premiums have been, since, annually distributed amongst the most industrious, who were further distinguished by the appellation of King, or Queen, of the spinners of their district; innocent devices to encourage industry; which, if they animate the Poor, as much as ribbons and garters stimulate the Rich, to active and honest exertion, must render it desirable that the titles of royalty should grace the brow of every industrious cottage child in the kingdom.' (Eden 1797: 399). The Society worked in about 143 parishes, and each child earned around 5d daily (Eden 1797: 400). The incentive scheme was, however, apparently the brainchild of the Rev. R.G. Bouyer (Stainton 1983: 139). A hierarchy of Premiums were available. These prizes, which were put in place to achieve the Society's grand objective of winning poor children over to industry, consisted of 'such things as [the children] are known to be desirous of' (Bouyer 1790). Each Premium included a medal, in addition to clothing, such as stockings and hats. Some even included future bounties for apprenticeship and marriage (Stainton 1983: 139). 'In the first four years the total number of medals awarded was 222; for which the number of candidates were 400 children, all under eight years of age' (Eden 1797: 399). In the first six years, the total number of copper medals awarded was 664 (Stainton 1983: 139). The Fifth Premium was given to the three best spinners of carded wool (including mop-yarn), or, in default of such, wool spinners, to the best spinner of hemp or flax. In addition to the medal, the Fifth Premium also included one pair of breeches, and one pair of stockings, and a hat. References Eden. F.M. 1797.

SWYOR-AB85EE: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy solid domed boss, perhaps part of a larger object, of unknown date, AD 43 - 1800. The wear to the broken edges and the patina suggest a date in the earlier end of this range, perhaps Roman. The object is a hemispherical dome which is solid. At the apex is a projecting bump of a different coloured and different alloy of copper alloy. It is dark red, rather than patinated to green. It may be an insert into the dome. On one edge, where more of the area surrounding the dome survives, there is a deep groove before a raised rim. the other edges are all broken nearer to the dome. The reverse is rough. There are no fixings surviving. The object is 25.5mm long, 21.3mm wide and 9.9mm thick. 15.1g. The object is similar to an incomplete boss and petal strap slide or other strap fitting, like SWYOR-A1D935, but it appears to be bigger than most examples, and on the surviving part there is no evidence of attachment.

Thickness: 3.1mm Weight: 4.9g Diameter: 26.5mm See https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingguides/rings/

LIN-A947FD: BUCKLE
An incomplete medieval copper alloy buckle plate dating to the 13th century (c.AD 1200-1300) The buckle plate is rectangular in shape with two projecting worn rectangular lugs on the width edge, which would have originally folded over the buckle frame. Between the lugs is the remains of the pin slot. There are two rivet holes at the opposite width with one retaining its copper-alloy rivet with a worn globular head. The plate is decorated on one side by paring away the metal, with a winged, two-legged beast (wyvern) having a dragon-like head and fish-like tail, facing left towards the buckle frame end, in profile. The head is rounded with projecting lips or jaws and a rectilinear ear or tendril; the body is sinuous and curvilinear, termating with a three-pronged tail curled backwards towards and over the top of the body. There are traces of red enamelling over the body and gilding on the body and background. The background is textured with multiple stamping of linear beaded gently wavey lines. The reverse is undecorated with traces of red enamel. Mid green patina with bright green patches. Length: 25.26 mm; Width: 19.70 mm; Thickness (without rivet): 2.47 mm; Weight: 5.64g Similar wyvern motifs are carried on buckle plates recorded on the PAS database including BUC-9312F4, BUC-6EAA1C and WAW-4E191B. A broadly similar design is carried on a buckle plate listed in Egan and Pritchard 2002, page 113-4, number 530 with parallels found in the 13th century archaeological contexts.

LIN-A8B658: SEAL MATRIX
A complete, cast, copper-alloy, medieval seal matrix dating to c. AD 1300-1400 The seal matrix has a shield-shaped die stamp with a tapered facetted hexagonal-section handle with an apical pointed collared suspension loop. The matrix bears a central motif of long-eared furry quadruped, probably a fox, sitting on what may be the fox's tail or perhaps a stool with a staff with a curled top, perhaps a crozier or shepherd's crook. The staff separates the quadruped from a hare positioned vertically and above is a bird, possibly a dove or pheasant depicted in profile with its wing up in flight. The design is enclosed within a border. Above the design is a transverse panel of text within a border that reads in French: LEAME which translates as the soul. Height: 20.60 mm. Max Width 15.58 mm Thickness (handle) 3.40 mm. Weight 5.76g. Discussion A medieval seal matrix from Quarley, Hampshire carries a similar design, albeit different inscription (WILT-41EDE6). The authors of WILT-41EDE6 note that a bench-end in the church of St Michael, South Brent (also known as Brent Knoll) depicts a fox dressed as a bishop, with mitre and crozier, surrounded by a variety of birds (Gardner 1958). The scene of fox and birds was often used to express a hypocrisy of the religious establishment, or was also construed as symbolising the way in which the Devil uses his cunning to trap unsuspecting souls (Spencer 1990, 115). This allegory (moral story) notably parallels the inscription carried on the Gedney example which reads in French 'the soul' - and in combination with the depiction of a possible fox in disguise surrounded by other animals may relate to the devil using his cunning to trap unsuspecting souls. The inscription may even associate with an abbreviated version of 'Le pèlerinage de l'âme' (the pilgrimage of the soul) by Guillaume de Digulleville (1355–1358) a French Ciscertian and writer, which was translated into English in the 15th century. It is noted a 'Find of Note' as the device/design and the inscription is uncommon and it is the second example on the PAS database of the design and the first with the inscription LEAME.

DUR-A3DD7A: BROOCH
A complete copper alloy annular brooch, of the early-medieval period (c.AD550-650). This brooch consists of a circular ring and a wire pin. The ring has a oval shaped cross section; the outer edge being curved and the inner edge roughly flat. The faces are somewhat flattened. There is a 3.5mm long thickened region (where the ring is 3.0mm wide), possibly where the ring has been formed by joining two ends of metal with solder. Alternatively this region is thickened because the corrosion product forming the surface are thicker. The surface of the ring is rough and brown -green in colour. There is no trace of surface decoration on either side of the ring. The pin is present, consisting of a length of round-section copper alloy 1.6mm in diameter. One end of the wire is bent into an open loop enclosing the ring. The other end of the pin is slightly pointed. The pin is 22.5mm long, measured from the top of the loop to the pointed end of the pin, and is slightly bent near the loop end. The brooch is 21.0mm in diameter, 2.6mm deep and has a frame width of 2.5mm. It weighs 2.5g Geake (2018) notes that this from of brooch can be classified as a Leeds Type f (Leeds 1945, p48), demonstrating the trend toward smaller sized annular brooches in the later 6th to early 7th century. The findspot, to the north of Easingwold in North Yorkshire, is also consistent with the 'strong regional bias' seen in the distribution of these Type f brooches in the north of the East Riding of Yorkshire (Geake 1995, p123-4). See SWYOR-F9ECE2, LIN-CDCF08 and LIN-935CE8 on this database for further examples of this type. References Geake, H., 1995. The use of grave-goods in conversion-period England c. 600 - c. 850 A.D.

YORYM-A2831E: TOKEN
A complete post-medieval copper alloy halfpenny trade token of Thomas Bishopp, grocer in Bridlington, dating from AD 1665. Obverse: X THOMAS BISHOP OF around shield. Reverse: X BVRLINGTON 1665 around HIS//HALF//PENY. The token is 18.11mm in diameter and weighs 1.11g. A similar example is illustrated in Thompson and Dickinson, pl.18, no.5819. Trade tokens were issued between 1648 and 1673 at a time when there was little low denomination coinage being issued by the crown. As a result traders and business proprietors began issuing tokens as an alternate coinage with equivalent denominations of a farthing, half penny or penny. Such trade tokens rarely travel far from their place of issue and provide a wonderful insight to the trade of the time. Ref: Thompson, R.H. and Dickinson, M.J., 1999.

It flares out into a small bowl. The concave face of the bowl appears to be un-decorated, while the convex face has five incised lines, running from the top of the bowl to the widest edge of the shell. This creates the typical radial ribbed shape of a scallop. The object has a dark green patina and measures 26.8mm in length, 11.7mm in width at the bowl, 2.1mm thickness and weighs 1.4 grams. Similar tongs have been found on the PAS database. Such as SF-4B8801, SUSS-16CA7E, KENT-66CE2C and SWYOR-F019F3. All have been dated to around AD 1700-1900.

HAMP-A17F52: FOLDING KNIFE
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman folding knife handle in the shape of a boar (c. 43-410 AD ). The fragment is broadly rectangular in plan and cross-section, and is broken on one end. The head and upper part of the back of the boar and the sides are well moulded. The knife handle depicts a boar that has an elongated snout with slightly larger heart-shaped nose at the tip that is distinctive from the lower jaw area and separated by a horizontal slot. This horizontal slot is itself divided in half by a vertical slot that extends through the end of the jaw. This vertical slot contains remnants of the iron knife blade which has broken off and was probably folded into the body of the boar which has a horizontal linear moulded groove on the underside of this base to accommodated the edge of the knife blade when folded. The groove is 17.91mm deep. There are small circular perforations on both of the boar's cheeks that align with the horizontal groove of the boars mouth. These perforations appear to be for a pin that would have allowed the knife to fold. The boars face features a sub-oval eye on either side of the head and small vertical lines on the lower parts of the cheeks to represent hair. There are two forward-pointing rounded ears with convex inner sections that are on either side of a triangular crest that runs from the top of the head and down the centre of the back, where it terminates at the broken end.

ESS-A17563: SHIELD
An incomplete cast copper-alloy 'Octopus' shield boss mount of medieval date (AD 1100-1250). Description: The mount is comprised of a ribbed, circular-sectioned shank with a bulbous hemispherical terminal head at one end and eight D-sectioned arms radiating from an integral plate at the other end. Some of these are broken at the base, the rest are worn at the ends and bent out of shape. The terminal dome has eight moulded raised ridges running from the centre to the circumference, although not aligned with the arms. The object has a light green patina with large areas of gilding remaining on the shank and arms. This gilded surface has peeled away on the head and tops of the arms. The object has a thick coating of dried mud and so much of the gilded surface is not visible. There is a small patch of iron staining on the head. Measurements: height: 26.8mm; width: 42.8mm; diameter of head: 19.1mm; thickness of shank: 7.7mm; weight: 41.87g Discussion: This type of object is discussed by Webley in and examples appear in the PAS database in SWYOR-16050E; YORYM-D1DC69 and LIN-B35B23 which cites Addyman, P. V., and J. Priestley. 1977 'Baile Hill, York',Archaeological Journal 134, 115-56, p. 141; fig. 11, no. 82 and was published as Webley, R., 2017 Analyse et interprétation des appliques en alliage cuivreux dites «binding strips » des XIIe -XIIIe siècles en Europe de l'Ouest, Fleurance: Laboratoire LandArc 2 , 3 Webley notes that objects of this scarce type are found across Europe and the UK, are that there is an association between finds of this type and high status sites, particularly castles. He cites the enamelled grave cover of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, from Le Mans Cathedral, c. 1151 as an art historical source for an "octopus" mount in use as a shield boss. He also suggests that the peak of use was from AD 1125 - 50.

Examples can be seen here: WMID-926B07, WMID-4C2749 and WMID-3EE2D9. Mackreth, D.F (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain, Oxford, Oxbow Books.

WILT-9171E3: MOUNT
An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy probable mount, dating to c AD 630-660. It is an a-symmetrical sub-rectangular object, flat in section, with an early break at one end. The extant section flares slightly from the break and ends in a right hand curve, exaggerated on that side. The outer face has a chip-carved Early Insular style motif. The design is a mat-like interlace, showing a double-stranded 'ribbon', interlaced longitudinally from the rounded terminal, towards the break. The upper part of the extant design is interspersed with short rectangular motifs and scattered round pellets. There is a raised border on all complete edges, with incised transverse lines giving a crenellated appearance. The reverse is plain. In its present state it is bent back slightly across its width. Dimensions: 36.4mm in length; 20.9mm in width; 1.9 mm thick; weight: 6.22g. See HAMP-41507E and NLM-039468 on the PAS database for a similar decorative style.

WILT-9152AE: CART FITTING
A Roman copper alloy terminal in the form of an eagle's head, probably a cart fitting, dating to c AD 43 - 100. It appears to be complete, although the bird is not depicted in full: only the bird's head and upper body are shown. The head is erect and angled slightly right. It is realistically depicted, with moulded circular eyes, brows, and a beak which curves downwards, the upper part separate from the mandible. The bird appears to be holding a small sphere in the end of its beak. The bird's upper body has two small wings, flat oval shapes, extended at each side by the base. Feathers on the wings are indicated by three wide grooves on each wing which run over the shoulders and down the upper back. The base is sub rectangular and, although the rest of the figurine is solid, there is a hollow recess at the base. This recess suggests the find was originally placed over another object and iron staining within the recess indicates the other object was made of iron. Dimensions: 33.6mm in length/height; 27.0mm in width (across the wings); 18.8mm x 18.2mm at the base; 30.62g in weight. There are a number of other similar examples of these cart fittings on the PAS database, including: BUC-112A77; BERK-BE2821, BERK-5AABFE, and HAMP-E88954, the record for which, states, 'Such objects tend to be identified as Roman cart fittings to which the reins were tied when the vehicle was stationary'. 'The distribution and date of similar pieces suggests a military connection and a 1st-century date (Webster 1958, 74-75, where full references are given'. Thanks to Rev Professor Martin Henig, who notes, 'Out of the same stable as these (examples on the PAS database), an applique like these, from a cart perhaps. Nice to have wings...but I suspect the rest of the item was separate but affixed'.

WILT-90F5B1: AWL
A complete cast copper alloy rectangular section awl or other leather working tool, of unknown date. The find has one pointed end, the other is wedge shaped. It has a mottled mid green patina. Dimensions: 51.2mm in length; 6.9 mm in width; 6.89g in weight. While many copper alloy awls are known from the Bronze Age, it is difficult to be confident about this particular item given that the shape of awls changed little over time. Therefore a Late Bronze Age to Medieval date is given (c. 1250 BC - AD 1500). There are many examples on the PAS database, including LIN-4F00E2 and LIN-10FE91.

WILT-90E687: BROOCH
An incomplete Middle Iron Age copper alloy brooch, dating to c 300 - 150 BC. Adams' (2013) Type 2Lb. The pin is missing. It has a thick humped bow, known as the leech form, roughly hollowed, bulging forward from the head and also bulging in width before tapering again towards the foot. It has an integral reverted foot, giving the appearance of a bent back foot closely abutting the bow but in fact the foot and bow are a solid piece of cast metal. The catchplate is formed by a groove, with overlapping pin curl at the side of the base of the bow. Part of the pin curl may be missing to an early break but still appears functional. There are two transverse incised lines across the rear of the catchplate and three across the foot , just below the discoid terminal. At the head is an oval or sub rectangular flat plate, decorated with two transverse incised lines and a double lug on the inside or reverse with part of a copper alloy axial rod held in each lug. Dimensions: 38.4mm in length; 19.2mm in width; 13.32g in weight The find meets the criteria for Adams' (2013) Type 2L, and in addition the bow is thinner and lighter, making this an Adams' Type 2Lb. See IOW-4DA383 for similar, although this is given a Late Iron Age date.

WILT-905CC1: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy plate brooch, dating to c AD175-300. Mackreth type (2011) British Plate 3.b4.The brooch is round, stamped and gilded with two zones round the central circular cell, which may once have contained a gemstone or glass fitting. The upper surface is divided into two fields by a raised outer margin and concentric inner ridge with a small circular cell, surrounded by a small raised border at the centre. The outer zone retains its gilded finish over a stamped motif of incised 'Z' shapes iand the inner zone has an stamped running chevron decoration. The inner field is plain with a dark colour. The reverse has a silvery finish which Mackreth notes is common in these brooches (Mackreth, 2011, 160). The pin lug, pin and catchplate, crushed downwards, are all still in situ. The pin is held to the single lug by an iron axial rod, with two coils on one side, one on the other, from which the pin itself projects towards the catchplate. Dimensions: 25.5mm in diameter; thickness: 3.3mm; 6.92g in weight.

WILT-8FBAA2: DAGGER
A fragment of an Iron Age or early Roman copper alloy probable dagger, being the quillon or hilt guard from above the blade, intended to protect the hand, dating to c 100BC - AD100. What is extant is one end of the pointed oval shape whole object which would have had an opening in the centre to fit over the hilt. Dimensions: 27.3mm in length; 12.7mm in width; 13.83 g in weight See NMS-C4D772 on the PAS database for similar.

NMS-8DA3D8: DRESS HOOK
Possible Middle Saxon copper alloy double-hooked dress fastener, incomplete and in abraded condition. A round-section bar with six encircling grooves narrows to the stump of an ancient break at both ends at which here is no trace of a hook. Identification as a double-hooked fastener is made more problematic by the absence of a transverse hole at the centre. It may perhaps be unfinished, but further doubt arises from the central part's comparative shortness and stoutness. Extant length 36.3mm. Diameter 11mm. Weight 13.63g. c.720 - c.850. Sometimes identified as shroud hooks, such objects might also have been used as harbicks (havettes or shear-board hooks, implements to fix cloth during the sharing of the nap). See discussion in Hinton 1996, 47-8. Examples from Norfolk include NMS-EE54B7, SF-E1B756, NMS-86AFF4, NMS-431515C, NMS-EA88B4 and one excavated in Norwich (Margeson 1993,18-9, fig. 9 no. 79). Read 2008, 40-1, early medieval Class M, Type 1.

WILT-8D8CCC: SWORD
A Late Iron Age or very Early Roman cast copper alloy 'ogival' guard from the hilt of an Iron Age sword dating to c. 100 BC - 100 AD. The guard or hilt plate is complete and would have separated the hilt from the blade on the sword. In plan it is sub-rectangular (rectangular with tapering ends that terminate in rounded points) and in profile it is bowed (ogival or ogee shaped). It has a central pointed oval shaped aperture, through which the tang would have passed. Dimensions: 48.3mm in length; 14.4mm in width; 16.24g in weight. For a comparison, see HESH-ECC623 on the PAS database, which states, 'A close parallel for this artefact can be seen in Llyn Cerrig Bach assemblage (Savory 1976, p57 Cat. entry 17.1 illustrated p94 / Fig 24.1). This example is still associated with its iron blade and is well illustrated in Cyril Fox's Catalogue (1946 p 73 cat No. 1. (plate II..1 and XXXIV.92). This example compares well with Llyn Cerrig on, although it is very slightly smaller. Date wise this example fits best with late La Tene II and La Tene III sword blade which are often lentoidal in cross section having double fullered blades; these fullers flank a median ridge. A good PAS parallel is a Sword Guard from Norfolk (NMS-C4D772)'.

NMS-8D4304: BUTTON
Two post-medieval buttons with white-metal coated copper alloy plano-convex heads. Each had an embedded wire loop and one retains remains of a copper alloy one. Cf. Read 2010 no. 401. Weights 5.76 and 4.49g. Diameters 16.3 and 15.8mm. Thicknesses excluding shanks 4.4mm and 3.8mm. 17th century.

WILT-8CE61B: CANDLESTICK
A fragment of a Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy candlestick or candleholder, dating to cAD 1475-1650. The object is a portion of the stem, the socket and base are missing. The stem is cylindrical in form with a disc-like collar above what may be an early break at one end, or which may have been intended to fix into a socket. Above this the stem flares out a little, then steps in before a short section where there appears to be a small collar at which is the break at the other end. The metal is a dark green in colour with lighter green crusty patches. In a few places the possible original brassy colour shows through.A longitudinal flash line from the mould can be seen in places. Dimensions: 68.8mm in length/height; 13.1mm in diameter (below the disc-like collar which is 23.6mm in diameter); 12.2mm in diameter (above the collar); 19.6mm where it flares; 14.2mm in diameter at the upper collar; 85.16g in weight Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Database: WILT-BE3B82, SWYOR-F1C6E8 and SOM-581B96 See particularly NARC-36EF6E which shows a similar section of a similar item. Egan (2005: 81, nos. 337-338) publishes a pair of very similar candle sticks of two different lengths with varying numbers of collars, both excavated in 16th century contexts in London.

NMS-8CE14A: BUCKLE
Abraded fragment of a copper alloy openwork object, possibly a late Roman military buckle of Hawkes and Dunning 1961 Type IIB: the stump of one side of the frame, part of a transverse rib at the junction with the plate, two small round apertures and part of a larger rounded aperture. Extant length and width 23.6 and 17.5mm. Thickness 2.5mm. Weight 2.12g. 4th - mid 5th century.

An incomplete possible die face from a 17th century signet ring or seal matrix (probably fixed by four points to a light weight seal fob) dating to the 17th century. The die is oval in shape and is decorated with a double headed eagle surrounded by C- shaped scrolls which look to be English baroque in style. Measurements: Length, 20.80mm; Width, 18.49; Thickness, 3.49mm; Weight, 5.34

CORN-6AD026: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a frame drilled for a separate spindle of Post Medieval date (AD 1600-1720) The frame has notched concave ends, each with two circular openwork apertures, and notched bifid sides with iron corrosion product built up around them. The spindle is missing but would have been made of iron, which has left the corrosion, and would have held a chape and pin which are also both missing.

The buckle frame is formed from two D-shaped loops with rounded expanded outer edges, flanked by double pointed mouldings. The pin is missing. The upper surface of these expanded edges has moulded rosette decoration. The reverse of the frame is flat. The strap bar is narrow, straight and trapezoidal in cross section with a flat reverse. A lobed knob projects from either end of the strap bar Measurements: Length: 50.19 mm; Width: 34.62 mm; Thickness: 3.45 mm; Weight: 9.58 g. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (2003) on p.66, no.409, which is dated from c.1550-1650.

CORN-6A0013: MOUNT
A near complete Post Medieval copper alloy mount, dating to the period c.AD 1600-1700. It is only missing part of its attachment lugs. In plan, the mount is made of three zones. The first at one end is a sub-kite shape (almost acorn shaped) knop, followed by a large kite shape section at the bottom. At the opposite end of this larger zone is then a D-shaped knop. Each zone is separated from the other by a large raised transverse collar. The entire plate is domed in cross section with a convex front and concave reverse . The reverse of the mount is plain, baring the presence of two integral circular sectioned attachment lugs positioned on the longitudinal axis. Both are circular in section and end in old abraded breaks. The mount is a deep green colour. Measurements: Length, 37.11mm; Width, 13.60mm; Thickness, 4.67mm, Weight, 5.05g. Similar mounts have been dated by Read to the 17th century (Read 2001: 28-9 and 35-6 figs. 2a-2, Nos. 292 and 307).

CORN-69835C: SWORD BELT
A copper alloy hooked strap fitting/sword belt fitting of Post Medieval date (c.1500 - 1625 AD) The plate is triangular in plan with a concave underside. The top edge has a V-shape notch in the centre, the side taped down to the penannular rolled hook that holds a loop which measures 10.31mm in diameter. There are two rivet holes on the plate one of which still retains the remains of a rivet. Two close parallels for this object are noted in Margeson 1993 'Norwich Households: Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78'. 38, refs: 257-258. These objects are dated to the 16th or 17th centuries and Margeson notes that they were probably associated with sword belts or similar hooked mounts. Similar examples can be found on the PAS database see GLO-15D9F5 and GLO-896F70. Measurements: Length (excluding loop), 26.58mm; Width, 11.78mm; Thickness, 1.75mm, Weight, 2.26g.

The bead is cylindrical with three parallel circumferential raised rounded ridges divided by two narrowed waists. It is decorated with diagonal slashes on the outer two ridges and a series of interlocked loops on the central ridge. The interior of the cylinder is flat and undecorated. The metal has a dark grey patina on the outside and a creamy brown patina on the inside. Measurements: Width, 7.40mm; Diameter (external), 14.48mm; Diameter (internal), 10.85mm; Thickness, 1.20mm, Weight, 3g.

PUBLIC-6830C7: STRAP FITTING
Copper alloy Medieval strap loop or slider. Trapezoidal frame with two triangular internal projections at the narrower end of the frame. The front of the wider end has an oval-shaped central bezel. Circa AD1200-1400. Length 16mm, width 18mm, thickness 3mm, weight 1.43g. Similar strap loops are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (2002); p234, No 1259 is a close parallel. A strap loop would be used on a belt, fitted perpendicular to the strap, to secure the tail of a belt once it has passed through the buckle.

CORN-67513A: FOB
A cast copper alloy 'fob' or 'dangler' dating from the late Iron Age to early Roman period, (c 200BC-100AD). The object consists a suspension loop, a circular shank and one near complete and three incomplete arms in a spiral shape which form the base. The suspension loop is oval and measures 15.93mm in width with an internal diameter of 6.07mm. The shank is circular in plan, cylindrical in profile with a diameter of 6.86mm and has two bulbous collars where it meets the base and the suspension loop. The fob base would possibly have been circular in plan when complete and comprises four arms spiralling from a central hub with a central circular recess. A smooth mid-green patina remains on the object. Measurements: Height, 44.05mm; Width, 33mm; Thickness, 6.86mm; Weight, 22.05g Several similar objects have been recorded on the PAS database including LVPL-A2FDB0 and CORN-D96569. Fobs or danglers are a poorly understood artefact type, and may have been hung from items of equipment, personal apparel or harness decoration (Jope 2000, pp 285) . Jope (ibid.) records 17 known examples of danglers and related 'hangers' from Britain, while Macgregor (1976a, pp 37) records nine know examples of Triskele-decorated fobs from the British Isles.

NMS-50904A: FINGER RING
Bezel and shoulders of a Roman copper-alloy finger ring of Guiraud's (1989) type 1b or 2a with a plain dark blue enamel setting. The setting is oval, virtually circular, and mostly extant but fragmentary. It is almost flat but slightly sunken in the middle. It takes up all but a narrow perimeter of the upper surface of the bezel and protrudes above it no more than a fraction of a millimetre. The shoulders descend toward the missing hoop in a straight line. In doing so they taper in width but not particularly symmetrically: one tapers with straight edges (as in Guiraud type 1b) while the other seems to do so concavely (as in Guiraud type 2a). This is probably a result of uneven wear. The breaks at the end of each shoulder are worn. The metal is patinated dark brown. 3rd to 4th century A.D. Length (break to break): 15.1mm. Width: 10.2mm. Thickness (bezel and setting): 3.5mm, (shoulder at break): 1.5mm. Diameter of setting: 9.4 x 9.7mm. Weight: 2.0g

WILT-3D2995: COIN
A Post Medieval copper-alloy rose farthing of Charles I (AD1625-1649) dating to AD1636-1644. Type 2. Unclear initial mark. North (1991), p165, no.2291.

SUSS-3D184C: BELL
A complete extremely worn and corroded Post-Medieval to modern cast copper alloy spherical "crotal" bell dating c. AD 1700-1850. The bell consists of two hemispheres divided by a horizontal circumferential joining rib. The sub-spherical iron pea survives within the bell. The upper hemisphere is plain with two sound holes placed on each side of a rectangular suspension loop which is in the centre of the upper hemisphere. The apex of the lower hemisphere has a long, thin sound slit with circular holes at the ends and is decorated with a sunburst design with ovoid petals radiating from the slot. On one side of the slot are the upper case intials: 'W G'; a makers mark. The W is formed by two interlocking V's. It is unclear if there are further marks or initials on the opposing edge as the metal surfaces are very worn and abraded. Measurements: diameter 29.89mm, height 38.04mm, height of loop 11.68mm, width of loop 15.91mm, weight 31.48g. The form of the suspension loop with the curve of the bell continuing under the aperture suggests it was made using a detachable ‘sprue-piece’ and indicates an 18th to 19th century date. Many crotal bells carry a makers marks and the initials WG is also recorded on NARC-B18952; SUSS-834857; SUSS-234FF3 and WILT-470161. This is suggested as probably the mark of William Gwynn of the Aldbourne foundry (near Marlborough) who was operating between 1770 and 1813.

WILT-3CFFFE: COIN
A Post Medieval copper-alloy rose farthing of Charles I (AD1625-1649) dating to AD1636-1644. Type 2. Crescent initial mark. North (1991), p165, no.2291.

YORYM-3CA38B: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper-alloy probable swivel strap fitting of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1600-1800. The fitting comprises a hoop, circular in plan and section, with a circular sectioned shaft projecting from one side. A smaller worn projection extends from the centre of the end of the shaft. It is broken and worn. The hoop tapers in diameter from the shaft to the opposite point due to wear. The metal has a dark brown patina and is worn. The swivel is 35.7mm long, 26.5mm wide, 6.9mm thick and weighs 8.3g. Swivel mechanisms were employed for a variety of functions from the medieval period onward. As such a specific function cannot be attributed to them, but it is suggested that they may have formed part of a lead for pets. Stylised zoomorphic terminals are a typical feature of such objects in the earlier medieval period. There are no such mouldings or decoration here, which likely suggests a Post-Medieval date.

NMS-3CA1AB: BOOK FITTING
Worn and badly distorted fragment of a medieval to post-medieval copper alloy book clasp with only the hooked end extant, probably Howsam 2016 Type A.3.1. One rivet hole lies 20mm from the hook.

LVPL-3C76D0: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative Polden Hill (dolphin) Roman brooch dating to c.AD 120-240. See Mackreth (2011) CD PH 4.d Plate 47 no.1944. The brooch is mostly complete with just the pin and catchplate missing. To the front, at the centre of the wings is a humped head, typical of the 'dolphin' type. Either side of the head spans the wings which are complete and tubular with the pin spring placed in the centre. The head narrows to form the bow which tapers towards the foot and terminates in a rounded point. To the reverse is an incomplete catchplate. The head and bow are decorated with a triple moulding with a ribbed ridge in the centre flanked by a V-shape ridge that continues to the mid-point of the bow. Overall, the surface has a smooth dark green patina. Dimensions: Length 54.4mm; width (wings) 19.1mm; width (bow) 6.1mm; thickness 3.4mm; weight 11.59g

DEV-3C7513: PALSTAVE
An incomplete, unlooped copper-alloy palstave axehead dating to the Middle Bronze Age, c. 1500-1140 BC. The blade flares from the stop ridge forming an roughly convex cutting-edge, but it is uneven due to damage. The blade tapers from the stop ridge to the blade edge, creating a wedge-shaped, triangular profile. The blade length seems short in proportion to the butt length when compared to other palstaves. On both faces of the palstave, there are two depressions forming a central ridge, creating the shape of a shield. The stop ridge is wide and the septum is sub-rectangular in plan. The flanges are low, they are straight in plan and leaf-shaped in profile. The butt ascends from the stop ridge to the butt terminal. The smooth brown original surface of the palstave has worn away in patches, leaving a rough light-green surface. Measurements: length 130.90 mm, width at blade edge 50.21 mm, width at the stop 30.76 mm, width at butt terminal 24.94 mm, thickness at the stop 22.99 mm, maximum thickness at the flanges 26.50 mm, length of the butt 66.80 mm, weight 387 g. A similar palstave can be found in Rowlands (1976: plate 28, no. 361), Class 1, sheild pattern type, Group 4. Although this palstave is slightly too large to be classified as Group 4 itself, and sits within the range of Group 3 (p29), which is dated to the Taunton-Penard phase of the Middle Bronze Age, c. 1400-1140 BC (Needham et al. 1997). However, it is also similar to examples in Rowlands (1976) Class 1 Group 1-2, illustrated on plate 27, from the Acton Park phase. A date range of 1500-1140 BC is therefore likely for this palstave.

YORYM-3C63A4: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
An incomplete copper-alloy blunt-hooked dress fastener of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1600 - 1700. Reads Class A, Type 2. The main plate is sub-ovate with two complete ovate attachment knops projecting from either side of the outer edges. The remains of a third attachment knop can be seen to the more pointed end of the plate though is lost to worn breaks. The wider end of the plate displays worn projections which would have formed an integral eye. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with a spray of three flowers bordered by ring and dot motifs. The metal has a dark-brown/green patina and is worn. The object is 27.7mm long, 27mm wide, 2mm thick and weighs 4g. A similar example is illustrated in Read (2008), p.171, no.641 and is dated to the early post-medieval period. Flynn (2016) suggests that blunt-hooked fasteners should be dated to the 17th century. An example is known from a 17th-century context in Lincoln, and another from a 1680s dump at Mark Browns Wharf, London. A few oval examples have decoration including symbols of the Commonwealth and are thus datable to 1649-1660. Ref: Flynn, T.

LVPL-3C5B2D: BRIDLE BIT
An incomplete copper alloy bridle bit / harness fitting dating to the early medieval period (c.AD 1000-1100). The object consists of one terminal only; it is a lozenge-shaped loop with a knop projecting from three of the corners. It is D-shaped in section with a flat reverse, A rectangular perforation is present in the centre. A small portion of the arm arms stems from the base of the terminal and ends in a worn break. The object has a light green and brown patina. Dimensions: Length 29.4mm; width 22.4mm; thickness 4.5mm; weight 7.26g Bit links are bridle fittings of the late early medieval period attached to the ends of an iron snaffle bit to which reins were secured. They were set outside and adjacent to cheekpieces. Their form is similar to double-ended harness links, but differ in the presence of the boss adjacent to one of the loops, and their generally shorter lengths.

NMS-3C3A75: BELL
Small fragment of the upper half of a post-medieval copper alloy crotal bell with one stump of a non-drilled loop extant. Weight 3.87g. 17th - 18th century.

The blade is sub-triangular in shape and lozenge in section. It has a prominent, circular mid-rib in the centre that is socketed, and two very worn blade protrude the side; one blade is almost fully incomplete, the other is mostly incomplete. The surface is rough and worn and iron staining is present along the more complete blade. The object has an overall light green patina. Dimensions: Length 53.3mm; width 20mm; thickness 11.8mm; weight 15.77g The object is too fragmentary to determine a typology or specific date, see Davis 2016 & 2017 for details.

NMS-3C2A26: VESSEL
Everted rim sherd of a medieval to post-medieval cast copper alloy cooking vessel, diameter not accurately measurable. Two holes drilled through the neck as part of a repair have both been truncated by non-recent breaks. Weight 24.81g. 14th - 17th century.

NMS-3C123C: BUCKLE
Incomplete medieval copper alloy buckle: oval frame with offset, narrowed bar and eight narrow longitudinal engraved grooves on the straight outside edge, cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991. nos.294 and 319 (the latter of iron); D-sectioned pin with two transverse grooves near the loop; folded sheet plate with pin slot, frame recesses and one extant rivet hole on the front part truncated by the break. Decoration on the front part consists of lines of finely executed interrupted rocker-arm engraving giving the appearance of tiny addorsed triangles along the sides, from one side to the other near the fold and flanking the pin slot. The rear part of the plate is very short with a rounded inside edge and with its part of the rivet hole intact. Weight 2.88g. Surviving length 20.2mm. Frame length and width 12.2 and 18.8mm. Late 13th - 14th century.

LVPL-3C0C88: HARNESS FITTING
A complete copper alloy miniature terret ring dating to the late Iron Age to early Roman period (c.200 BC-AD 50). The object is broadly circular and D-shaped in cross section. The hoop widens towards the base where it is decorated with two small collars. The object has a worn surface and pale green patina. Dimensions: Diameter 25mm; thickness 2.7mm; weight 3.87g Terret rings were used as rein guides on chariots or carts used during the Late Iron Age to Early Roman period. They were set in a line along the yoke and five terrets were usually used per chariot. This suggested function is supported by evidence of wear or fractures on many examples. Lewis (2015, p.87) discusses the longevity of simple terrets stating that the earliest examples come from the 3rd or 2nd century BC chariot burials in the East Riding though examples are known into the second half of the 1st century AD. Similar examples which have been recorded on the PAS database include LVPL-6B1042 and LVPL-660CC1. A similar example can be found in MacGregor (1976), see no.52. SUR-265AA3 also comments: Hutcheson (2004: 29) notes that it has been suggested these mini terrets were perhaps attached to the ends of narrow straps to prevent linch pins from becoming detatched from chariots. These small objects have a relatively long life span, probably dating to between the 2nd century BC and middle of 1st century AD. Minature terrets have been found in association with the heads of linch pins in vehicle burials in East Yorkshire.

NMS-3BC928: BUCKLE
Distorted part of one edge of a medieval copper alloy double-looped buckle, both loops oval, decorated with engraved lines and rounded knops. Very similar to Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 343 and Whitehead 2003, no. 346, but lacking blind-drilled holes in the knops. Six knops are extant, the centre of the edge lying between four and two. Weight 4.22g. First half 15th century.

LVPL-3BC446: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy cosmetic mortar dating to the late Iron Age to early Roman period (c.100 BC-AD 200). The pestle is crescent-shaped and the arms gradually taper to a rounded blunt end. It has a deep groove within the inner curve of the crescent that creates a U-shaped section. An complete loop is situated in the centre of the bottom edge. The surface is worn and decorated with pairs of diagonal lines that start at the sides of the loop and meet towards the centre. The object has a pale brown and green patina. Dimensions: Length 36.4mm; width 7.2mm; weight 5.51g Cosmetic mortars are one half of a set that also includes a cosmetic pestle. The deep groove within the curve of the mortar was used to hold small quantities of cosmetic powder that could then be ground by the pestle. A complete is recorded under SF-0A37B6 and SF-09EF71. Jackson (1985) draws together the known discoveries at the time and suggests they date from the late Iron Age to Roman period

BH-3BB71D: COIN

The object is undecorated and has a smooth dark brown / green patina. Dimensions: Length 29.2mm; width 4.6mm; thickness 3.8mm; weight 3.25g A similar example is recorded under NARC-CA1D11 which comments: Ellis (2002) notes that rowel spurs largely replaced prick spurs in Western Europe from the 14th century onwards, however most examples are much later than this, with many smaller and more decorative examples dating to the 17th century when they became increasingly fashionable. Comparable examples can be seen excavated from 17th century contexts at Beeston Castle, Cheshire (Ellis 1993: figs. 113-114).

WMID-3BA028: JETTON

SUSS-3B2D08: BROOCH
An fragment of a Roman copper alloy continental plate brooch with millefiori decoration and central boss dating c. AD 100-225. The brooch comprises a circular flat copper alloy plate of which only the central section survives; with parallel worn breaks each side of the central boss. At the centre is a complete separate upstanding copper alloy circular stud which is waisted below the bevelled head. The stud is set on a raised flat roundel surrounded by a recessed annular field which would have been filled with millefiori decoration. Only two short rectangular fragments of red glass remain, with a feint trace of another pair on the opposing side. The outer rim is raised with the worn stubs of a pair of opposing projections; one is more complete suggesting a decorative annular lug. The reverse is plain with a central circular ring representing the base of the stud. The metal surface has a green patina. Measurements: length: 21.09mm; width: 11.74mm; thickness at stud: 7.03mm and weight: 1.95g. This example probably belongs to Mackreth's (2011, vol.I, 174) PL CONT 9a, which often feature millefiori decoration, central studs and peripheral projecting lugs. See: (ibid) Vol II, plate 116 nos: 6974 and 11041. He suggests a primarily 2nd century date range for these, with perhaps a little continuation into the 3rd (ibid.). Other similar examples on the PAS database include: DUR-8108B6; SF-32FB7A; WILT-7FF1D8; NLM-7645C1

WMID-3AB967: MOUNT
A complete copper alloy mount or strap fitting of Post Medieval dating (AD 1550 to AD 1700). The plate has two round lobes at one end which taper to a triangular terminal at the other which give the whole mount a phallic shape. At the back are two circular sectioned integral attachment lugs, with blunt points at the apex and at the opposite end of the long axis. The surface is undecorated. It measures 19.6 mm in length, 11.3 mm wide and 7.4 mm thick (including spikes). 2.1 mm thick (not including spikes). It weighs 0.9 g. The mount is similar to other phallic shaped mounts recorded on the PAS database, including SUR-1B4166.

NMS-3AA751: BUCKLE

WILT-399FB7: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman, copper alloy, Polden Hills type, Headstud brooch, probably dating to c. AD 75-150. The head of the brooch expands transversely into two short wings, one of which has broken off almost at its base, the other extends minimally. Behind the head the wings are cylindrical, retaining a possible iron axis bar in situ, and with a rectangular ridge which may be the remains of the hinged pin. A raised semi-circle projects very slightly from the front of the head, probably the remains of the head loop. The bow is sub-rectangular in cross section, and as it curves in past the point of inflection, is then bent forward slightly, rather than continuing its bow. The sides taper in towards the foot which is broken off in antiquity. The catchplate is missing. At the point of inflection the bow is decorated with a circular moulded headstud, with a recessed circle within. Below the stud is a raised longitudinal central ridge, which terminates naturally just before the break. Dimensions: length 38.9mm; width 12.3mm; weight 6.14g. cf. Mackreth 2011, Chapter 4, Part 2, Headstud type R2, plate 75, no. 7132.

LVPL-38EA68: FLANGED AXEHEAD
A complete copper alloy flanged axehead (developed flat axe) dating from the final phase of the Early to the earliest Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000-1700 BC). The axehead is most probably of the axe type Arreton which is dated to Early Bronze Age III, of metalworking stage V, which corresponds to Needham's (1996) Period 3 circa 2000-1700 CAL BC. The object has straight sides, a worn butt end and a flared cutting edge with concave shoulders, it is lentoid in profile. The cutting edge is broad and crescentic in plan with slightly flared tips. It measures 53.9mm in width and the edge is thin and sharp. Above the cutting edge is clear bevelled edge that marks the beginning of the blade. The haft end is sub-rectangular in plan and presents low raised flanges on both faces. The haft end thins gradually towards the butt end to create and overall lentoid profile that is thicker in the middle and thins towards each end. The axehead has a smooth dark brown / green patina. Dimensions: Length 110.4mm; width 25.9mm; thickness 12.9mm; weight 208.9g The axehead is best described as coming from the Arreton type of long-flanged developed flat axes (cf Burgess and Schmidt: Axes of Northern Britain pp 65 - 75 specifically 415, 422 and 425). Burgess and Schmidt suggest from their study that the distribution of this Arreton type concentrates in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Their work though only looks directly at the axes of Scotland and Northern England. A close local parallel can be seen from a similar axe recorded from Yorkshire (LVPL-9E59450) and another from Wem (HESH-9F2990) in Shropshire. Similar examples have been found at Margam, Port Talbot (Savory 1980, No. 122) and Breach Farm, Vale of Glamorgan (Savory 1980, No. 338) associated with a cremation burial recently radiocarbon dated to c. 1750 - 1600 BC. A similar example which can be found on the database is NMGW-FDBB88. Schmidt and Burgess (1981, p.59) trace the development of the flat axe in Britain and Ireland. They identify the trend, "...from broad, simple, triangular forms with splaying sides and flat, even slightly convex, unembellished faces, to increasingly narrow forms, with ever-straighter sides that diverge less and less, approaching and even attaining, the parallel sided form typical of flanged axes. The trend is towards slightly dished faces, the edges of the faces are worked up into slight flanges, and a median bevel is an increasingly common feature. Decoration...becomes a commonplace..." Schmidt and Burgess (ibid.) explain that these developments were in part a function of changing hafting methods - the knee handle, with forked angled end required a narrower shape to fit snugly between the prongs of the fork. Furthermore, dished faces and raised edges made the seating more secure, and the median bevel reduced the tendency of the axe to be driven up into the fork. (WMID-143A14).

NMS-38DF02: SCABBARD
Medieval to post-medieval scabbard chape formed from copper alloy sheet with an overlapping soldered seam which has been pulled apart towards the mouth. Just above the damaged base, which was probably cut and turned inwards, there are signs in traces of solder of a lost c.3mm-wide encircling band. Similar traces of a band are visible below the mouth immediately above a rivet hole. Weight 9.35g. Extant length 77.7mm. 14th - 17th century.

WMID-38DB3C: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman Colchester derivative brooch of Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends type), dating to AD 80-120. The brooch is T-shaped in plan. The wings are semi circular with missing end caps. The lower section of the bow, foot and catch plate are missing along with the spring, pin and rearward facing hook. The wings are semi circular in profile. There is an oval groove at the reverse of the head where the spring mechanism would have been in situ. The bow tapers to a broken terminal. Between the head and the wings there are semi-circular mouldings typical of Polden Hill type 4. The brooch has a green coloured surface patina. The brooch measures 16.88 mm in length, 16.5 mm in width, 4.3 mm in thickness across the top of the bow and it weighs 3.2 grams.

WMID-38BE02: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet type brooch dating to circa (AD 75 to AD 175). The pin, lower part of the bow, catchplate and foot terminal of the brooch are missing. The fragment consists of the head and the top section of the bow. The head is oval in plan. At the rear of the head are the remains of two vertically placed lugs that would have held the spring mechanism in place. The bow has parallel side along tits length as it curves front he head to a broken terminal. The lower part of the bow is decorated with a series of moulded horizontal ribs. There are three ribs that stand prouder than the others in the centre with a set of three narrower ribs placed either side. The object has a green coloured surface patina.

CORN-38955C: VESSEL
A complete cast copper alloy zoomorphic spout from late Medieval ewer dating, AD 1400-1500. The object is curved with the attachment end open and tapered/shaped to fit the wall of the vessel. The terminal at the spout is cast in the form of a dog's head with sub-rectangular flat hanging ears, the base of the ears projecting above the head between which is a raised ridge extending to the brow. Below the brow, the face is concave with rudimentary worn eyes and a raised snout. The open jaws gap around a projecting tube which comprises the spout. Measurements: Length: 67.27mm, Width: 16.51mm, Height: 44.02mm, Diameter (spout): 9.21mm, Weight: 45.25g The metal is dark green in colour with a slightly pitted patina. This type of vessel spout is a common design usually found detached from the rest of the vessel having broken along the soldered joint which is a weak spot. A ewer with a similar spout from a 15th century pedestal-base ewer discovered in the moat at Cardiff Castle is published in Lewis (1987, pp 4-5 fig 8 A). Similar examples can also be found on the PAS database including NMS-2D649C and DENO-F41783. Ref: Lewis, J.M.

LVPL-3807B2: VESSEL
A complete chafing dish handle lug dating to the medieval to post medieval period (c.AD 1400-1600). The lug is in the form of a clenched fist; it is rounded with details for the fingers deeply incised. Through the centre of the first is a circular perforation for the handle to slot through, which measure 5.7mm on diameter. From the fist, the wrist narrows and forms a sub-square collar from which protrudes and cylindrical stem. The object has a smooth dark brown patina. Dimensions: Length 44mm; width 13.8mm; weight 34.59g Similarly formed chafing dish lugs have been recorded on the PAS database, see primarily SUSS-BE1094 and ESS-E34E89 which retain a portion of the handle within the fist. Chafing dishes were used to keep food warm at a table and were often elaborately decorated. Anthropomorphic cast decorations are often found on chafing dishes, making it likely that these hand lugs are from such a vessel.

OXON-2A98D5: FURNITURE FITTING
Post Medieval to Modern (18th to 19th century) fitting: The item is a T-shape. The horizontal bar is D-shape and has rounded terminals. The junction of the horizontal bar and vertical bar has the vertical par dividing into two forming a curvaceous Y-shape, The triangular void has obliquely angled edges. The upper third of the vertical bar is D-shaped and undecorated. This bar then is circular in section, with a double collar, and towards the lower terminal there is a single collar. The lower terminal changes shape and is a thick shield-shape in plan, which is perpendicular to the horizontal bar. The surface of the object has a shiny mottled dark green patina. The object measures 130.94mm long, 70.62mm wide, 9.47mm thick and weighs 47.77g. The identification of the object is not known. The upper portion of the object is possibly a handle or it is where it sits flush against another object. The terminal of the horizontal bar is possibly a form of key bit or part of a locking mechanism. These are ideas, not certainties, the function is not certain. The date is based on the surface condition and overall style.

Thickness 5.4mm. Mid 14th - mid 15th century.

SUSS-283C88: BROOCH
A complete Medieval copper alloy annular brooch with inscription dating c. 1150-1400. The circular frame has a lozenge shaped cross-section with bevelled sides and a constriction for the pin which survives and is fully articulating. Each face of the upper surface of the frame is decorated with a worn, probably nonsensical inscription, separated by a fine double linear grooved border containing a continuous row of pellets at the apex. The lettering on the outer inscription is smaller and rudimentary, and too worn to decipher.The pin has a penannular attachment loop with rectangular cross section which is attached at the constriction of the frame. At the base of loop is a rounded collar, where the pin, with a circular cross-section, tapers to a rounded point. The reverse is plain with a single very fine linear ridge around the apex. The metal surface is brown with pale green areas. Feint traces of gilding remain near the pin constriction. Inner inscription from the pin: [.]ARV[...]W[...]DN[..]V[..]V[...]VWNO Outer inscription from the pin: illegible. Measurements: external diameter: 35.3mm; width of frame: 5.3mm; thickness of frame: 3.5mm and weight: 11.82g. Annular brooches often bear forms of religeous or sentimental inscriptions, see (Egan and Pritchard, p. 255); and some many are nonsensical such as: SUSS-F44E88 and DOR-2B52AB dating c. 1200-1400.

NCL-261F39: HAT
A copper alloy spike from the top of a pith helmet, c. AD 1840-1950. On both faces this artefact has a triangular plan with four equal parallel ridges with intermittent grooves connecting to a lateral ridge at its its widest point. Below this the artefact tapers to an open end revealing a hollow interior. The artefact has a dark greenish/black patina. This artefact is believed to be a crushed hexagonal brass spike from the top of a hat or helmet. Brass spikes are a typical feature of some military and ceremonial headwear in the UK and abroad. Although spikes are still a feature of some ceremonial headwear, i.e. the German Pickelhaub and ceremonial pith helmets, they were more widely worn by civilian populations during the mid-19th-mid 20th centuries. Dimensions - Length: 68.91mm; Width: 27.46mm; Thickness: 8.95mm; Weight: 16.24g

NCL-261011: FLAT AXEHEAD
Complete copper alloy axehead of probable Bronze Age date, possibly early Bronze conforming to Needham's Class 2D Halberton type, c. BC 2350-1601. The axehead has a trapezoidal shape with straight sides, a broad butt, and very minimal blade tip expansion. The cutting edge is largely in tact and free from knicks and breaks. it has a lenticular, narrow profile. The patina is powdery, pale green with some surface pitting. Due to the lack of blade tip expansion and the near rectangular shape, this broadly conforms to Needham's Class 2D Halberton type which date from the Early Bronze Age period. The lack of obvious wear might suggest this artefact was lost shortly after production.

CORN-25F929: COIN
A worn Roman copper-alloy nummus, probably of Constantine I (AD 306-337), probably dating to AD 307-317 (Reece period 15). Probale mint of London.

LVPL-25F581: CANDLE HOLDER
An incomplete copper alloy object, possibly a candle holder stem dating to the late medieval to post medieval period (c.AD 1300-1500). The object consists of the stem only; it is cylindrical with a rounded collar at the complete end. At the opposite end the object terminates in a worn and irregular break. The object has a smooth dark green patina. Dimensions: Length 38.1mm; diameter 11.3mm; weight 32.7g The object is similar to LVPL-C6B1E4 which presents a comparative stem, suggesting the object is part of a candle holder. Egan (2005: 80-81, No. 337) presents a similar example which is from dated from associated ceramics to c. AD 1530-1570. However, three similar examples from Read (2001: 125, Nos. 892-894) are dated to c.AD 1350-1400. A suggested date range encompassing both ranges is suggested here as the item is without a secure archaeological context.

OXON-25CC33: BROOCH
Roman (100 - 250 AD) umbonate plate brooch: The brooch is sub circular in plan. The body of the brooch is a shallow conical with a rim around the outer edge. The rim has a wide groove and a fine ridge on the outer edge as a border. The conical has a circular cell at the apex and has two rows of triangular cells radiating from the apex. The cells are mainly filled with blue and what was formerly red enamel, but has now corroded to a light green colour. On the edge there are four integral knops which are equi-distant. One of the knops is an incomplete loop. On the reverse of this loop there are two parallel perfoated lugs which form the hinge. Through the lugs there is a copper alloy axis bar on which is hinged the copper alloy pinn. On the reverse of the opposite lug there is an integral, solid catchplate. The reverse of the brooch is concave. The brooch has a mid green coloured patina with green copper corrosion in places. It measures 34.63mm in length, 31.36mm wide, 14.97mm thick and weighs 13.35g. Umbonate brooches of this type are frequently encountered finds on military and civilian sites throughout Britain (Bayley and Butcher: p. 173). Hattatt (2000) dates one from Owmby, Lincolnshire (p. 350, fig 209, #128) to the 2nd Century. Another similar example on the PAS database is WAW-0FB717 and WAW-C7E307. Mackreth (2011) classifies this brooch as a British Plate type 6.a, and illustrates a similar example, No. 11577.

Weight 6.02g. Diameter 25mm. Length/thickness 7.5mm. 17th century.

NMS-25119C: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Copper alloy bead-like object of unknown date. It is barrel-shaped, or like a sphere with a cap cut off at each pole by a pair of parallel planes, revealing the sub-circular openings of the internal void. The void is not quite cylindrical but appears to follow the external contour to some extent, being longitudinally concave and of wider diameter in the middle. The diameter of the openings seems too large to be a bead. It may be a collar for a rod-like implement. It is patinated dark brown. Length (opening to opening): 15.1mm. External diameter: 18.2mm. Internal diameter of openings: 9.3 - 10.5mm. Weight: 6.5g

NMS-247668: FURNITURE FITTING
Small and delicate post-medieval hinge-plate from furniture. It has a trefoil terminal with a stem that flares out and bifurcates around a heart- or shield-shaped openwork void. The sides are then straight and parallel until they flare out again briefly as they meet the straight edge that runs adjacent to the missing spindle (or pin). At the centre of this edge there is a single pivot loop (or knuckle) and a small convex internal projection to accommodate an iron rivet, which remains in-situ. A second iron rivet penetrates the trefoil terminal. Many similar example are recorded on this database, including NMS-FF0012, NMS-5BC405 and NMS-A32741. 17th to 18th century. Length: 24.4mm.

SUSS-246B9C: COIN WEIGHT
A worn round uniface copper alloy coin weight for a half Ryal (rose noble), of 3.42g (circa 0.12oz, 52.2 grains), depicting a king with sword and shield standing in a ship with a rose. Circa late 15th century. Diameter: 16.39mm; thickness: 2.60mm and weight: 3.42g. A full weight half ryal would have weighed 60 grains (Withers and Withers 1995, 68) but weights were normally made to the legal minimum weight for the coin which was slightly less and can lose weight through corrosion and wear. Ryals were only issued 1464-1470 AD although they circulated for longer (Withers and Withers 1995, 19); however later weights tend to be square so this example probably dates to 1464-1500 AD.

OXON-2438F0: BROOCH
An incomplete and slightly unusual copper alloy Roman Colchester Polden Hill brooch of Mackreth (2011) CD PH type 6.a6 dating to AD 50-100. Most of the bow is missing. The head of the brooch survives to a width of 20.2mm. The wings are oval, with an open reverse and each wing terminating in a perforated oval wing cap. The wing caps taper inwards slightly towards the reverse. The front faces of the wings are decorated by an incised line placed just incised their outer edges and then a diagonal incised line running from the lower corner of these edges to the upper corner adjacent to the bow. The diagonal incised line wing, is a typical feature of Eastern brooches. The spring mechanism survives intact and has four loops either side of the pin wrapped around a copper alloy axis bar that pierces the two ends caps. On the right side (when seen from the reverse) the spring turns up over itself and go through what would have been a slightly projecting D-shaped lug extending from the top of the centre of the wings before curving down to form the left half of the spring. A pin projects from the end of the spring that is circular in cross section and narrows to a still sharp point. It survives to 20.2mm long and is c.1.7mm in diameter. The bow projects from the front of the wings with a width of 7.5mm it then narrows gradually down its length to c.6.6mm before ending in a transverse break. The bow is rectangular in cross section and is decorated by a rectangular cell taking up most of the front surface which is also truncated by the break. Most of this cell is empty but traces of blue enamel survive close to the wings. The brooch has a medium dark green patina. The brooch is 20.5mm long, 20.2mm wide, 13.4mm thick in profile and weighs 5.35 grams Bayley & Butcher (2004: 159) note that the method of pin attachment seen on this example is characteristic of Polden Hill brooches. Similar examples are also illustrated by Hatatt (2000: 300-1, No.905) described as a Polden Hill type brooches. Within Mackreth’s (2011) corpus it is most similar to Mackreth 2011, type, 6.a6, no. 2133, Plate 52.

OXON-242237: BROOCH
Roman (mid 1st to 2nd century) brooch: The lower portion of the bow remains. The bow is broken into two pieces at the approximate midpoint of the bow. The break is not a recent. The lower portion of the bow tapers to a blunt foot. On the reverse of this portion of the bow there is a complete catchplate with a triangular perforation. The surface of the brooch has a well-developed mid grey-green coloured patina. The upper portion of the bow is broken below the wings, there they are missing. It is D-shaped in section and the outer face is decorated a vertical elongated triangular cell with notches either side. The brooch with the two fragments together measures 52.98mm in length, 4.1mm in width across the upper edge and weighs 3.74g. The brooch is a Colchester derivative. It probably dates to the mid-1st to second centuries.

An incomplete and slightly unusual copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative, Rearhook, brooch of Mackreth (2011) CD RH type 4.k, dating to AD 50-150. The sprung pin is missing. The wings survives to a width of 15.6mm and are crescent shaped with a convex front and concave reverse leaving a C-shaped recess for the spring to sit within.Above the wings and the bow are the remains of a rectangular cross sectioned projecting crest extending beyond the back of the wings this shows no piercings. This does appear to look like a folded loop as seen on colchester one piece brooches albeit being far more robsut in form, There is no loop thought so it is most likely a rear hook. The bow projects from the front of the wings with a width of 6.2mm. It then narrows gradually down its length to c.1.4mm at its rounded foot The bow has a D-shaped cross section with a convex front and flat reverse that becomes rectangular becoming thicker than it is wide towards the foot. The bow appears to be undecorated but is worn. A plain D-shaped catchplate projects from the back of the brooch. The brooch has a medium dark green patina. The brooch is 36.9mm long, 15.6mm wide, 13.9mm thick in profile and weighs 5.69 grams Similar examples are illustrated by Hattat (2000: 298) described as Dolphin type brooches dating to the 1st century AD. Within MacKreth’s (2011) corpus it is most similar to No. 13864(MacKreth 2011: 44, Pl. 41) no 9831 which he classifies as a type 4.k

An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative, Rearhook two piece brooch of Mackreth (2011) CD RH type 4.k, dating to AD 50-150. The sprung pin mechanism and lower part of the bow are missing. The wings survives to a width of 22.8mm and are crescent shaped with a convex front and concave reverse leaving a C-shaped recess for the spring to sit within.Above the wings and the bow are the remains of a rectangular cross sectioned projecting crest extending beyond the back of the wings this shows no piercings but may be truncated and so is most likely a rear hook. The bow projects from the front of the wings with a width of 6.2mm. It then narrows gradually down its length to c.1.9mm at which point it ends in a transverse break possibly just above where the foot would have begun. The bow has a D-shaped cross section with a convex front and flat reverse that becomes rectangular becoming thicker than it is wide towards the break. The bow appears to be undecorated but is worn. The brooch has a medium dark green patina. The brooch is 25.2mm long, 22.8mm wide, 11.2mm thick in profile and weighs 6.74 grams Similar examples are illustrated by Hattat (2000: 298) described as Doplhin type brooches dating to the 1st century AD. Within MacKreth’s (2011) corpus it is most similar to No. 13864(MacKreth 2011: 44, Pl. 41) no 9831 which he classifies as a type 4.k

OXON-23CC28: BROOCH
An incomplete and warped cast copper alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating to c. AD 50-150. The spring mechanism is missing while the bow lower part of the bow and catchplate have been bent sideways. At the top of the object is the brooch's head. This is made of an oval shaped plate that is convex on the front and slightly concave at the rear to allow space for the spring mechanism. A copper alloy strip that is sub-oval in cross section projects from the back of the top of the brooch and folds under itself over 180 degrees to meet the bottom of the plate creating a large oval loop. The size of this loops suggests it held both a spring and a sheet metal sleeve to cover it. The bow projects from the front of the head and is broadly oval in cross section. It is broadly straight sided (c.5mm wide) barring a large sub-spehrical projections at its centre (5.6mm long and 7.4mm wide). Although worn it is possible to suggest this would have originally formed an acanthus decorative feature. Below the spherical knop the bow continues a short way (7.1mm ) before being right at a 90 degree angle and then continuing for a similar distance before ending in a projecting rounded cylindrical foot. The foot base has a ring and dot motif. Projecting from the back of the bent section of the bow is a triangular catchplate that is plain and undecorated. The brooch has a medium green patina. In its bent state the brooch is 30.9mm long, c.24.2mm wide at the head and c. 19.5mm thick in profile. it weighs 6.86 grams. Hattat illustrates a range of trumpet brooches (Hattat 2001: 326-331) which are suggested to date from the 1st to 2nd centuries AD. Bayley and Butcher (2004: 161) support a broad date of second century for these brooches. Similarly Mackreth illustrates further trumpet brooches (2014 Pl.78-85) of which the closest type and illustration fits his class TR 1 which he dates to c.AD 64-125 (see for instance Mackreth 2014: No.15423). Similar examples on the database include NMGW-A67BAD, OXON-C77F31 and SUR-A02702.

NMS-14FBCB: BUCKLE
Incomplete and distorted medieval copper alloy oval buckle frame with almost all of the offset, narrowed bar missing. The outside edge is straight and undecorated and protrudes slightly at the sides which have been bent outwards, rendering the true length and width uncertain. Width at the outside edge 37.8mm. Length and width approximately 16 and 38mm. Weight 6.35g. 13th - 14th century.

NMS-14D9A7: BUCKLE
Medieval copper alloy oval buckle frame with an offset, narrowed bar on which there is a wire pin and a tiny fragment of the fold of a sheet plate. Ont eh front of the straight outside edge of the frame there are three longitudinal filed grooves and two shallower transverse grooves. Weight 1.57g. Length 16mm. Width 14mm. 13th - 14th century.

NMS-14B7FD: BUCKLE
Medieval gilt copper alloy buckle with integral frame and plate, in rather worn condition: oval frame with two pairs of oblique ribs on the outside edge, D-sectioned pin set in a hole at the start of the D-sectioned plate which narrows past two transverse grooves and a rust-filled rivet hole before tapering to a trefoil terminal pierced by a hole containing a copper alloy rivet. Very little gilding has survived. Weight 2.65g. Length 44.5mm of which the plate accounts for 34mm. Width of frame 13.2mm. 13th - 14th century.

NMS-142BB4: BUCKLE
Incomplete and distorted front part of a medieval sheet copper alloy trapezoidal buckle plate broken at the fold. All of one corner is missing so that only one frame recess is present and all of the pin slot or hole has been lost. There are four rivet holes, one of which is incomplete. Decoration consists of punched impressions and inlaid enamel. No metal coating is extant. In the central area a round stamp contains a fleur-de-lis on a field of enamel that now appears green (only flecks have survived). This is enclosed within a square of isosceles triangular impressions, three on each side ranged between the rivet holes with their apices facing outward. Red enamel remains in varying amounts in eight of the twelve. The fleur is to be viewed with the frame / fold to the left. One transverse and one longitudinal line are faintly visible near the frame recess. Weight 5.05g. Extant length c.33mm. Width c.31 at the inside edge and c.40mm at the fold. Thickness 0.6mm. A similar buckle plate from Dunwich, Suffolk, can be found in Fingerlin (1971, 67; fig. 64) and others have been recorded in Norfolk (NMS-346FF7 and NMS-EA4DDA), Cornwall (CORN-55583E) and Hampshire (HAMP-F43461).

GLO-1371E1: RIVET
A Post Medieval copper alloy rolled rivet dating to the period c.AD 1500 - 1800. The rivet consists of a piece of sheet metal which has been rolled into a tapered cone. A seam runs longitudinally and the top has been flattened to form a flanged disc. A discussion of these rivets can be found in Egan (2005, p.101). Egan suggests that these were a later form of rivet, which took over from the medieval folded staples in the late 15th to the mid to late 16th century and continued in use into the 18th century.

NMS-130F34: BROOCH
Incomplete Late Iron Age to Roman copper-alloy brooch, probably a rosette type. It has an incomplete cylindrical spring case, now open at the top, with all edges being worn breaks, perhaps apart from the forward edge and a concave pin slot at the centre of the reverse. The bow is reasonably flat in cross-section. It arches in a C-shaped profile and probably tapers in width from top to bottom. The lateral edges are heavily abraded and no more than half of one edge is original. Decoration begins with a narrow transverse groove and ridge immediately below the spring case. Then there are two parallel longitudinal ridges of equal width spanning nearly the whole length of the bow and separated by a transversally concave flute, also of the same width. Each ridge is divided into three narrower ridges by two longitudinal rows of apparently punched dots. The decoration terminates about three millimetres from the lower end of the bow. The bow is joined at this end to a small integrally-cast circular plate. The bow meets the plate just above the centre of the latter: the plate projects about two millimetres up toward the spring case and about six millimetres in the opposite direction. It is not much wider than the lower end of the bow. It is nearly perfectly circular and the edges are not obviously breaks (although they might be). There is a shallow groove running along the lower edge. That part of the edge to the rear of this extends a fraction of a millimetre further downward than the front part. If the edges are not breaks it would suggest that a separate larger plate was meant to be attached (Mackreth’s 2011 sub-type ROS 2). The front face of the plate bears decoration similar to that of the bow but is more significantly worn. There is no flute but there are faint traces of vertical lines of dots. The reverse has a wide groove, transverse to the bow, near the top, and a minimally thickened central part with straight oblique stepped-down lateral edges extending from the groove to the lower edge. These are unlikely to be decorative, and may be unintentional artefacts of the casting process, or elements that helped secure the separate plate. There is no evidence of a catchplate. Probably 20 to 60 A.D. Length: 18.8mm. Width (length of spring case): 19.0mm. Thickness: (front of bow to rear of spring case): 9.8mm. Weight 2.8g

NARC-1209F2: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Brooch of Roman date (AD 43-75). The object is a hinged Hod Hill type. The head of the brooch is composed of a sub-rectangular plate which has been rolled forwards around an axis bar. The sub-oval cylinder created by doing so is now filled with copper alloy corrosion by-product. A sub-rectangular slot at the apex of the reverse of the head, to accommodate the pin, a short length of which is retained. The bow of the brooch is sub-rectangular in cross section and is slightly curved in profile. It projects from a narrowed section at the base of the head, from which it expands into a raised D-shaped collar running transversely, below which is a sub-rectangular plate flanked by broken, rounded, projecting lobes. The plate it decorated with three pairs of evenly spaced longitudinally running, linear ridges. The bow then narrows to a rectangular waisted portion, below which is a single raised D-shaped collar, running transversely, below which the object terminates in a transverse break resulting in the loss of the lower bow, foot and catchplate. The metal is mid-green and brown in colour with a slightly pitted patina. Length: 26.36mm, Width (wings): 17.10mm, Thickness (bow): 2.59mm, Weight: 2.9g The ridged decoration on the upper section of the bow, and the folded head would suggest that the brooch is of the Hod Hill type. It may be classes as a "Type f" form (Bayley & Butcher 2004, 78). Bayley & Butcher (2004, 153) suggest this form came to Britain during the conquest period. A near identical example is illustrated by MacKreth (2011, 96, Pl. 93, Nos 9169-9274). Similar examples in Hattatt (2000, 322-3, nos. 848 and 326), dated to the 1st century AD, and other examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: BH-E1023A and OXON-BBEEC6

A complete copper-alloy awl of Bronze Age to medieval date, c.1250 BC - AD 1500. The awl appears to be complete with a length of 43mm. The awl has a conical shaft which runs for 18mm, after which the shank becomes rectangular in section and tapers to the terminal. The awl has a mid green patina and has a smoother surface at the conical end. While many copper alloy awls are known from the Bronze Age, it is difficult to be confident about this particular item given that the shape of awls changed little over time.

YORYM-10DFCB: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object of Roman date, c.AD 43-410. The object is in the form of a solid forward-facing human bust set on a hollow sub-rectangular socket. The head is ovate with worn moulded features and a moulded hairline around the upper half at an oblique angle. The facial details and hairstyle are too worn to be determined. Below the head is a short D-sectioned neck which extends into rounded shoulders, also with a D-shaped section. A raised ridge is present at the base of the bust after which it tapers to a narrowed waist before expanding out again to form the socket. The socket is sub-rectangular with a thin back plate and sides with moulded ridge and groves to the outer surface. No front plate is present and may be lost to worn breaks. The lower edge of the backplate is also broken and worn. The reverse of the object bears two integral semi-circular copper-alloy lugs below the shoulders, both of which are broken and worn. Iron staining is present around the lugs. The reverse is otherwise flat and undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The object is 41.8mm long, 17.9mm wide, 9.7mm thick and weighs 18.4g. No direct parallel could be found for this object at the time of recording. It has features in common with a number of other object types of Roman date though none which qualify as a convincing parallel. Objects of fairly similar form include knife handles such as HAMP-CAE3DD and DUR-225DF7, tripod mounts such as ESS-A9905A and LIN-1632D1, and wax spatula handles like WILT-9ECD01 and OXON-E24016.

YORYM-0FBF19: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete copper alloy object of uncertain function, possibly Early-Medieval to Post-Medieval in date c. AD 400-1800. The object is concavo-convex and domed with a central rounded boss on its convex side. The boss is convex on the obverse, and hollow on the reverse. Projecting from the bottom of the boss are two incomplete irregularly shaped tabs, one of which includes a rectangular sectioned shank extending away from the boss. The edges around the boss and tabs are jagged and worn, suggesting that much of this object, from around the base of the boss, has been lost. The object has a dark green patina. It measures 45.01mm in length, 27.94mm in width, 22.31mm in thickness and 13.94g in weight. It is possible that this object is a mount, strap or harness fitting, or a furniture fitting. However, the shank on the object's reverse does not appear on domed mounts or fittings recorded on the PAS database. Therefore, due to a lack of contextual evidence, diagnostic features or any convincing parallels on the database it is not possible to date or identify this object any more closely.

LIN-0F6ECE: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy zoomorphic annular brooch of medieval date (c.1200-1300). The frame is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section with a flat back and convex front with zoomorphic mouldings.These mouldings take the form of two two-headed beasts whose bodies curl to the shape of the frame and heads join to meet.The heads have rounded snouts with pellet eyes set in slight depressions on either side. The ears are pointed and upright behind the head. The beasts are decorated with a moulded linear collar at the back of the neck. At the centre of the left and right beasts is a circular cell that would once have held a gem stone setting. The pin is missing. Discussion: Zoomorphic annular brooches are securely dated to the thirteenth century with excavated examples being recorded from London (Egan and Pritchard 2002: 247-255). They are well represented on the database with most examples being silver gilt. They include both set and unset examples, with set examples including LIN-B824B9 and HESH-497CD5 both set with pink-red stones possibly being garnet; DOR-142926 set with light purple stones being either amethyst or garnet and SF-527EB7 confirmed to be set with garnets.Unset examples include YORYM-1CB322; KENT-48791C; DOR-5CC922; WILT-378885; and HAMP-0BD0B9 which retains traces of niello.

WREX-0EE922: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Unidentified enamelled object of uncertain date but possibly Roman to early medieval (c250-650AD). The object is circular in plan and rectangular in cross section with a circular perforation at the centre. It is decorated on one side only. The design is a quatrefoil made up of four semi-circles, each with a smaller semi-circle within it. This creates a number of cells which have been filled with pale blue, white and orange enamel. The reverse of the object is undecorated. The sides of the object have two parallel grooves. Measurements: Diameter: 22.1mm; internal diameter of perforation: 6.4mm; thickness: 4.9mm; weight: 8.66g. The colours of the enamel used with this object would suggest either a Roman or early medieval date. It is unclear if the central perforation is part of the objects original use or if that has been added at a later date so that the object could be repurposed, possibly as a spindle whorl.

YORYM-0EAA1E: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object, possibly an oval or D-shaped buckle from the Early Medieval period, c. AD 400-1100. The object is of uncertain completeness and is partly encrusted with iron corrosion material. The object is concavo-convex with a large mass of ferrous corrosion on the concave side of the object. There is further corrosion within the centre of the object which appears to have once been a void. The copper-alloy object is oval in shape with what appears to be a narrowed strap bar, now predominantly encrusted. The convex face of the copper-alloy object is decorated with grooves and incised dot features. A possible iron pin, now very corroded, is visible running across the object on the convex side. The object has a mid-green patina and is encrusted with ferrous corrosion which covers roughly 45% of the surface. it is 28.42mm long, 20.41mm wide, 9.91mm thick and weighs 12.72g. This object appears to share some similarities with Early Medieval buckles, although with so much ferrous corrosion it is difficult to confidently determine what this object. The decoration and use of iron pins and plates with copper-alloy frames has been described as being associated with Anglo-Saxon style buckles. Objects recorded on the database which share similarity with this find include; NLM-75C340, NLM-F87032, IOW-E0DA81, SF-B437F7, YORYM-238BCA, YORYM-E4F2F6 and NMS-60FF8A. Other suggested identifications for this object include scabbard chape or knife cap but due to the non-symmetrical faces of the object these identifications appear less likely.

It has a dark brown/grey patina with patches of green corrosion and some wear around the ankle and foot. The patina suggests this artefact does not have significant age. Although slightly different, this example is very similar to WILT-7D599E. Measurements - length: 59.25mm; diameter: 10.11mm; weight: 21.16g.

NMS-FD0D6E: BUCKLE
Post-medieval white-metal coated double-looped buckle frame, both loops oval with a lobe at both ends of the bar and a knop in the centre of both edges. A median engraved groove bisects both lobes and knops, and on the latter there are two sets of oblique grooves which give the impression of a scallop shell. On buckle frames of similar form the decoration is normally moulded thathe than engraved, e.g. Whitehead 2003, no. 403. Weight 4.23g. Length 36.5mm. Width 23.3mm. c.1550 - c.1650.

NCL-FCE954: SPUR

Both sides are broken and the terminals are missing. The neck and rowel box survive. It has a powdery green patina and heavily corroded surface. The surviving sides suggest it had straight sides suggesting it dates from after c. 1450. Rowel spurs were routinely used between c. 1450-1700 and this example lacks any clear diagnostic features to assign a more precise date. Measurements - length: 58.98mm; thickness of sides: 3.10mm; height: 9.56mm; length of neck and rowel box: 10.46mm weight: 7.55g

The straight sides, the butt and the cutting edge are badly scuffed, with damage to the latter, some quite recent, being especially severe. It is possible that all traces of low flanges have been removed through wear but on balance it is more likely that the object was flat. Despite its imperfact condtion it is safe to assign it to Needham's Class 3 (Needham 2017, 36-7 and 60). Weight 63.17g. Length 69mm. Width 27.6mm. Thickness 8.2mm. c.2200 - c.2050 BC.

The mount has a raised hemispherical central lobe with projecting arms which terminate in a lobe at either end. The central lobe is pierced by a large central circular hole. The terminal lobes also have smaller central perforations for issing rivets. The underside and the back of the mount is flat and undecorated. The bar is D-shaped in section. The mount has a grey/green and brown patina. Length 31.2mm, width 8.2mm, thickness 3.7mm and weight 2.23g See Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories (2002), page 214, figure 134, number 1157 and Read (2021) page 26, number 136.

PUBLIC-F8A92D: VESSEL
A Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper-alloy incomplete pot leg (Type C) dating c. 16th-17th century. The foot is D-shaped in cross section with with worn 'toes' on the front, . There is a raised transverse collar at the top of the foot which projects slightly forward from the collar to the base. The top of the leg is broken above the collar with a worn break. The underside of the foot is flat. It measures 31.03mm long, 23.65mm wide and 14.78mm thick; it weighs 34.7 grams. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. Although earlier copper alloy vessels, mostly in copper alloy sheet, are known they are rarer and mostly of sheet metal or hammered out (ibid; 7). While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use later 'bronze caldron's in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of the 18th century when their place was taken by cast-iron vessels which were cheaper to make and more durable to use.' (ibid: 22). This foot belongs to Type C, in use in the 16th century and universal in the 17th (ibid: 4).

WILT-E8AC46: BUCKLE
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy buckle dating to c. AD 1350 -1400. The frame was originally oval in shape with a decorated outer edge. This outer edge comprises a central pin rest formed from two transverse ridges, either side of which is a large projecting globular knop at each end. The knops are decorated with small circles. The offset bar and the pin are missing, due to old breaks. Dimensions: Width 15.7mm, Height 18.7mm, Weight 2.17g. This buckle is a Meols type 10 dated to the late 14th century (Griffiths, Philpott and Egan 2007: 90-91, no. 545).

WILT-E75010: FINGER RING
An incomplete Roman copper alloy finger ring, dating to c. AD 43-100. Guiraud Type 1. The finger ring is decorated around the oval, upstanding bezel with a geometric design of engraved triangles of two types - plain or stippled. The bezel retains the remains of a dark brownish red stone or glass setting. The patina of the finger ring is light grey green. Dimensions: height: 24.4mm; internal diameter of ring 16.3mm, external diameter 20.4mm, thickness of hoop 1.8mm, dimensions of bezel 12.0mm x 10.0mm. Weight 6.80 grams.

BERK-E64186: BOOK FITTING
A complete cast copper-alloy hooked clasp possibly for a book fitting and most likely Medieval to Post Medieval in date c. AD 1450-1650. The object is made of two plates held together by rivets. Both share the same broad form comprising a rectangular shaped plate with concave corners tapering to a broken, square terminal. One of these plates is flat in cross section and has a second longer rectangular tab extending from the centre of the flat edge of the plate. This extends from the plate before folding over 90 degrees extending a slight distance then folding over another 90 degrees to form a hook. The hook then narrows down its remaining length to form a blunt rounded tip that almost touches the back of plate. This would appear to form a clasp hook. The second plate is the same shape as the first plate and for most of its area is separated from the first plate. The second plate curves inward at the edge with the hook to lie flush with the first plate. Where the plates are separated they are both pierced by two holes at the outer corners of the concave edges. A copper alloy rivet remains behind one of these holes. Length: 32.7 mm Width: 32.3 mm Thickness: 7.7 mm Weight: 17.5 g

BERK-E610F3: HARNESS PENDANT
A copper-alloy fragment of probably a Medieval harness pendant. The pendant is a broken thin sheet of metal with no decoration remaining. It is broken near the top of the pendant across the width.

NMS-D3D91B: MOUNT
Medieval gilt copper alloy mount of concavo-convex cross-section in the form of an equal-armed cross with pointed oval arms and a small saltire with an attachment hole at their common centre. One cross arm which is larger than the other three and has lost its tip is the only one to carry a pair of longitudinal engraved grooves. Gilding survives in the grooves and in the eight V-sectioned spaces between the arms. No close parallel noted. It is even possible that the broken arm may have been a suspension loop and that the central hole may have held a decorative stud, thus suggesting the object may have been a harness pendant. The surface of the metal is dull purplish on the front where gilding is absent but some verdigris remains on most of the reverse. Weight 8.25g. Width 30.3mm. Thickness 4.5mm. 13th - 14th century.

NMS-D0A1F4: VESSEL

NMS-CE9BCE: STRAP END
Sheet plate (probably from the front) of a medieval composite copper alloy strap-end of circular form, with a grooved round aperture between to rivet holes (one with a rivet). Similar to Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 649 but on this present example there is no knop, cf. ibid. no 648. Weight 2.51g. Length 22.3mm. Width 23.8mm. 14th century.

NMS-CE7214: BUCKLE
Medieval copper alloy sub-circular buckle frame with two engraved grooves in the centre of the outside edge. The form is similar to that of smaller examples from London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 260-1). Weight 5.46g. Length 25mm. Width 31mm. Thickness 2.4mm. c.1230 - c.1450.

NMS-C0DFE2: BUCKLE
Incomplete and worn front part of a medieval marginally trapezoidal gilt sheet copper alloy plate broken across two of four rivet holes, probably the front part of a buckle plate. Within an engraved contour line there are faint indications of straight and curving lines. Weight 2.96g. Extant length 30.3mm. Width 12 - 12.8mm. 13th - 14th century.

NMS-C0B2F5: BUCKLE
Incomplete and rather worn front part of a medieval gilt sheet copper alloy buckle plate broken across the fold, slightly trapezoidal and wider at the inside edge, with frame recesses, a pin slot and two rivet holes (one rivet present) near the inside edge. Within a grooved frame (which excludes the rivet holes) and reserved on an enamelled ground a lion passant guardant to sinister. No enamel has survived. The metal has been pared away in the areas that were inlaid, cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, no.530. Weight 5.76g. Length c.30mm. Width 18 - 16.7mm. Thickness 1.5mm. 13th - 14th century.

NMS-C04A2B: MOUNT
Medieval gilt copper alloy openwork mount, trapezoidal and hollow-backed with a flat lug pierced for attachment in the centre of the narrower end, a backward looking beast in high relief and a slightly concave wider end. The beast, apparently a quadruped but hardly leonine, is proceeding to the left and is equipped with a straight and vertical tail. The provision of a single means of attachment is odd. No close parallel noted. Weight 3.76g. Length 23.8mm. Width 18.3mm. Thickness 5.5mm. Mid 12th - mid 13th century.

NMS-BFBED8: BUCKLE
Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy buckle of the Late Saxon period, complete apart from the shank of the pin: a heart-shaped frame with a moulded animal-head pin rest and a separate pin bar or spindle set in a pair of pierced lugs; a pin with an animal head in front of the loop; a plate with concave sides, two pierced lugs engsged with the spindle, a pair of confronting animal heads, an undecorated split end with two rivets, and a lightly engraved line along both sides linked by a transverse line on the reverse. In profile the whole object has been bent into a curve. Weight 13.76g. Straightened length 65mm. Width of frame 22.7mm. Width of plate 11mm. Second half 9th century. Extremely similar to a buckle found in a 13th-century context at St Faith's Lane, Norwich (Geake, H. in Emery 2007, 199, fig. 5.90 sf. 102). The present piece is rather worn and so lacks some of the drilled and engraved detail of the Norwich example. The two differ in two ways: the Norwich plate is narrower at the inside edge and only on the reverse of the plate of the present example is there a transverse offset or thickening just beyond the closure of the split end. The Norwich find was considered to be of 'national significance' (ibid. 39)

NMS-BEBD94: BROOCH
Incomplete Early Anglo-Saxon Small-long brooch of Leeds 1945 Cross pattee derivative type, with all below the upper part of the bow missing, a non-recent break. The outer edge of each headplate arm is followed by a row of filed grooves within which runs an engraved line. In the centre of the edge of one lateral arm over-zealous filing has cut though the metal to produce a small notch. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section with an ill-defined median arris, and its top there is a narrow rectangular panel. On the reverse the single pin lug lies beyween remains of the iron spring. Weight 7.46g. Extant length 25.6mm. Width 22.5mm. c.475 - c.550.

GLO-BE7E89: PIN
Copper alloy hair pin with an ovoid head that has a series of linear angled groves running around its circumference. Below is a collar with a narrowed waist that separates the head from the shaft, the shaft is missing.

GLO-BE6295: SWORD BELT
Copper alloy hooked strap fitting/sword belt fitting. The plate is an openwork triangular frame that has a hollow trefoil interior. The top edge has a pierced annular loop for attachment which retains some of the original iron rivet. Opposite, at the pointed end is a flanged bar that also has a piercing in the centre and retains the iron rivet. At the end of this plate is a penannular loop, this is still attached to the hanging plate via a single annular loop at its base. Only the edge of the openwork hanging plate remains, with a decorative penannular in the centre that form the edge of a wider frame and an annular suspension loop above.

NMS-BE3A0E: BROOCH
Fragment of an Early Anglo-Saxon Cruciform brooch of Martin 2015 Group 2 or 3, one headplate wing with a cast-in-one side-knob and a vertical row of punched annulet impressions along the side. The top and basal edges diverge just before the corners. The break is not recent. Weight 7.75g. Extant length 29.6mm (26.5mm at the break). Extant width 26.3mm. AD c.475 - c.550.

NMS-BE2481: HOOKED TAG
Incomplete early post-medieval copper-alloy hooked tag of Read’s (2008) Class E Type 3. The hook and a small part of the plate are missing to a worn break. The plate is circular and the loop is rectangular. The plate has a central low-domed boss decorated with relief-moulded latticework. This is surrounded by a circular groove then ridge. Around the perimeter are six extant oval openwork voids (one incomplete) interspersed and intwined with foliate (or curvilinear) mouldings. The reverse is flat except for a shallow dimple directly behind the boss. Although there is no very close parallel illustrated in Read (2008), it bears similarities to No. 396 (for its low-domed boss) and Nos. 403-4 (for their lattice or cross-hatched mouldings). 16th to 17th century. Length: 22.0mm. Width: 18.7mm. Thickness: 2.8mm. Weight: 2.8g

GLO-BDFA1B: BROOCH
Copper alloy Headstud brooch Mackreth 2011, Headstud 8. It has thick cylindrical wings that hold a pin axis bar. The front of the wings are flat and decorated with vertical banding. At the top of the head is the truncated base of a large loop, below on the head at the apex of the bow is a ring and dot stud, below which the lower part of the leg is decorated with two lines of opposing triangular cells flanking a central line of lozenge cells, all would have held enamel but which is now missing. The lower part of the bow is missing resulting in the loss of the catchplate.

YORYM-BD76BA: VESSEL
An incomplete copper-alloy pot leg from a cooking vessel of medieval to post-medieval date, c. AD 1100-1800. The leg has sub-trapizodal cross-section, with the inner surface flat. The outer surface has a pair of wide grooves running longitudinally down the centre. These are predominatly filled with dark sooting. It is unclear if this example had a foot, as the bottom end of the remaining piece is worn and it is difficult to distinguish if this is a break. The top edge of the leg does feature a clear break which is worn. The metal light green patina with patches of black corrosion. The object is 37.74mm in length, 29.98mm wide, 7.77mm thick and weighs 40.22g. Copper alloy vessels were commonly used for cooking from AD 1100 to the late 1700s where they were gradually phased out in favour of cast-iron pots and saucepans designed for kitchen ranges. Therefore it is difficult to closely date this object without any further archaeological context. Cooking vessels were cast using two piece moulds until the late 17th century and the introduction of sand-casting. Skillets could be cast using one piece moulding. Legs and handles were created in a single cast together with the body. Butler, R., Green, C. and Payne, N. (2009). Cast Copper-Alloy Cooking Vessels (FRG Datasheet 41). Sleaford: The Finds Research Group AD 700-1700.

NMS-BD723A: PURSE
Fragment of the end of a medieval purse bar of Williams class A1. It is oval to circular in cross-section and straight. It terminates at both ends in worn breaks. Part of a flat attachment plate survives, projecting from the underside of the bar and truncated at one end by one of the breaks. Its lower edge is a little jagged and may also constitute a worn break. The plate contains a single extant attachment hole. The break at the other end of the bar occurs immediately after the beginning of the constriction from which one end of the purse frame would hang, shortly before the missing terminal. This constricted part is visible from that end as a very low circular stub. The bar is decorated with a double-strand diagonal lattice pattern of niello-filled grooves. These are bound by a single transverse niello-filled groove at about five millimetres from the terminal (distal) end. Some of the niello is lost from the grooves, but probably around fifty per cent survives. The decoration does not continue onto the underside of the bar. Mid-15th century to 16th century. Length: 30.7mm. Width (including plate): 12.5mm. Thickness: 7.8mm. Weight: 10.5g

OXON-BD6D6E: STRAP END
A complete but bent Early-Medieval cast copper alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas's (2003, 2) Class A, Type 1. This would date the artefact to around the 9th century AD. The strap-end is flat in profile aside a heavily bent tip and sub-rectangular in plan with slightly convex sides which widen from the split ends before narrowing to a roudded zoomorphic terminal in smooth convex curves. The split is compressed between the split ends and filled with soil. The upper terminal of this split end are pierced by two circular holes (c.1.8mm diameter) the lower examples of which are filled with soil. The upper portion of the strap end is hidden. However, the middle section shows clear intertwined design influenced by that of a celtic cross. Below this scene the mount has a small moulded zoomorphic style terminal possibly formed to indicate two eyes and a snout. The strap end is a medium brown colour. There are traces of white metal coating on the reverse. The strap end is 24.6mm long, 10.2mm wide, 5mm thick and weighs 2.65grams. The strap end falls within Thomas (2003) Class A, and based on the traces of incised decoration is a Type 1. Regardless Thomas suggests a 9th century date for this class, perhaps starting in the late 8th and continuing into the 10th in the North. Similar interlace decoration is visible on DOR-F07846, LIN-CF4B91 and WILT-74746E

OXON-BD6C77: MOUNT
A complete copper alloy belt mount dating to the Post Medieval period (c. AD 1600-1700). The mount is symmetrical in shape and slightly convex on one side. The mount has a tear shaped central plate with two opposing tri-lobed terminals with the final terminal taking the form of a curved point. One terminal is slightly larger than the other.. The upper surface is plain and undecorated. The reverse of the mount is slightly concave with integral pointed lugs attached at either end. Both lugs point towards each other and the centre of the mount. The mount has a dark green patina. The mount is 22mm in height, 10.5mm in width, 2mm thick and it weighs 2 grams. A similar mount can be found in Read 2001, page 34, fig.21, no. 286 which has a date of c. 17th century. On the database mounts of a similar shape include OXON-11EBEC, OXON-11B33C, and BERK-1916A5,

OXON-BD0699: MOUNT
A complete Medieval copper alloy mount, dating to the period c.AD 1150-1400 The copper alloy mount, in plan, has an oval shaped body with an integral sub-oval knop at either end. Each knop has a rivet hole with the remains of a rivet visible in one of these. The mount is corroded but has a series of abstract lines on a small section of the surface suggesting that it may have originally been decorated. The body and knops are domed in profile and hollow on the reverse. The surface of the mount has a brown patina. The mount measures 16.2mm long, 8.9mm wide and 2.3mm thick. It weighs 1.7g. Egan and Pritchard (2002) illustrate similar mounts, for example 1160 on page 214. Read (2001 p.23) also includes a mount with a similar decoration 149-156. Similar examples can be found on the Portable Antiquities database including OXON-796065, OXON-E3A017 and OXON D4E365

NMS-BCE487: STRAP FITTING
Medieval copper-alloy strap loop. The frame is D-shaped (although now distorted) and rectangular in cross-section. A collared globular knob projects externally from the centre of the concave edge and there is a circular hole for a missing internal rivet opposite this on the flat edge. It is an unusual type. A similar example has been recorded on this database as NMS-60FF92. 14th century. Length: 20.9mm. Width: 15.2mm. Thickness: 4.2mm. Weight: 2.0g

OXON-BCD606: DRESS HOOK
An incomplete cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the early post-medieval period. The hook is broadly triangular in plan with four projecting knops, two down each long edge. The hook is crescent shaped and slightly angled to the right, and a rounded, blunted 'hook' at the opposing end. The front surface of the fastener is decorated with moulded relief in the form of a robed human, front facing bust and upper torso in a field of pellets and annulets. There is the remains of a white metal coating evident. The reverse of the fastener is plain and undecorated. The hook is 40.5mm long, 25mm wide, 7.8mm thick including the hook (the plate is 3.1mm thick) and weighs 7.17 grams. This meets Read's (2008:178) Class A Type 4 (see figure 652),dating from c. AD 1550-1650. A similar example on the database is OXON-3A01FE

OXON-BCCA05: JEWS HARP
A complete copper alloy jews harp (or jaws harp), of the Late Medieval to Post Medieval period, dating from c. AD 1400 to c. AD 1700. In plan, the jews harp consists of a sub circular head, and two tapering arms, both with the characteristic lozenge cross section. The arms are complete. The rabbet (triangular notch) is located at the apex of the head and has concreted iron corrosion product on its surface. The object has a dark brown patina with an uneven surface patina on the inside edges of the arms. The jews harp measures 51.7mm in length and has a maximum width at the head of 21.6mm, it measures 5.2mm wide at the base of the arms. It has a thickness of 6.1mm and weighs 10.8 grams. Jews harps, or trumps have a long history of being folk instruments, with a wide geographical distributions. They are believed to be indigenous to South East Asia, and had been introduced to Europe by the Crusades (11th to 14th Centuries AD). The form of the European Jews harp, is made from metal, commonly iron in modern examples. The tongue forms a separate component hammered into a rabbet in the thickest part of the frame. The other end of the tongue is bent into a prong, however this part of the jews harp rarely survives in archaeological examples. To play, the instrument is held in one hand, with the frame being lightly supported between the player's teeth. The metal tongue is plucked by the fingers on the other hand. The mouth cavity acts as a resonator and the pitch can be modified by the position of the lips, tongue and cheeks (Egan, 1998, 284). Four iron jews harps were recovered from excavations in London's waterfront, and have been dated from c.1270 to c.1400 (Egan, 1998, 284-5). Over 150 examples have been recorded on the PAS database, most with a circular head as opposed to a flattened or oval head and the majority of them have been attributed to the Post Medieval period. This example is probably Late Medieval to Post Medieval in dating (1400 - 1700 AD). A similar example on the database from Oxfordshire is OXON-80D165

OXON-BC9658: DRESS HOOK
A near complete cast copper alloy dress hook of early Post-Medieval date, c. AD 1500 - 1700. Only the hook is missing. The dress hook is of Reads' Class E, Type 3 being circular in plan and with a rectangular attachment loop. The body of the dress hook comprises a five petalled rose, surrounded by floral decoration with open decorated holes. Each quarter has an openwork trefoil or quatrefoil. The edge of the linear circle is beaded. The hook is missing. The reverse is flat and plain and the dress hook has been bent towards the lower section. It has a brown patina with patches of green. The fastener is 22.33mm long (to the point at which the hook would have been attached), 19.5mm wide, and 1.3mm in thickness. It weighs 2.45 grams. Read (2008: 100, no 379) is a close parallel and falls into his Class E, Type 3 which are circular/subcircular. Similar examples of this type on the database include OXON-1D7B27 and OXON-A8F7D5

OXON-BC23E1: COIN
Roman coin: copper-alloy, possibly of Gallienus (AD 253-268), dating to the period AD 275-285 (Reece period 14). Reverse type depicting a winged horse left. Cf. Cunetio nos. 1338, 2754.

OXON-BB6925: STRAP END
A complete copper-alloy Medieval two piece strap end dating to the period circa 1150-1450 AD. The object consists of two sub-rectangular plates soldered together at their terminal end. Each plate is broadly rectangular narrowing only slightly from one end (11mm wide) to the other (c.10mm wide). The narrowest ends are slightly rounded and have a projecting triangular terminal extending from their apex. There are two small triangular cuts in the edge of the widest terminal. Both plates are pierced by a single rivet hole centrally placed 1mm below the widest terminal and 1mm above the narrowest terminal. Within these holes is a circular copper alloy rivet. The strap end has a forked profile when viewed side on. The plates appear to be undecorated and are a medium green colour and there is a small circular 2mm dot of brownish/red above the rivet hole closest to the widest end. The strap end is 28mm long, 11mm wide, 3.4mm thick and it weighs 2.83 grams. Very similar decorated examples of this strap end are described as composite strap end with forked spacers defined by their side profile which are illustrated by Egan and Pritchard (1991: Nos.660, p.142) which have been found in contexts dating to c. AD 1400-1400. A similar example on the database is OXON-2F30BC

OXON-BB0625: BELL
An incomplete cast copper-alloy spherical animal bell (crotal) of Post-Medieval date (AD 1500-1650). The bead and large sections of the bell are missing. The part of the bell that remains includes a square hanging loop within which is a circular hole (6.7mm diameter), the upper half of the hemispherical dome which has two holes both of which have been damaged and are now irregular in shape. One hole has a jagged rectangular extension to the left of the original hole. The second hole has been enlarged and now has an enlarged irregular rectangular shape. Approximately fifty percent of the lower half of the dome is missing although there is one section of the solid area of one side which would have been adjacent to both of the holes and what would originally have been a linear slit linking the two holes. There is no evidence of any decoration on the outer surface. The reverse surface of the bell is also undecorated and is very worn and and the the surface is uneven. No makers mark is visible. The bell is brown with patches of darker brown and green .The remains of the bell are 40mm long from the top of the hanging loop to the break in the lower hemisphere, 31mm across the widest part at the circumference and 2.5 mm thick and it weighs 6.7 grams. Bells of this type date from the 16th to mid 17th century (see: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/crotal-bells.html). A similar example on the database is OXON-4F28BD.

OXON-BA5983: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete Medieval copper-alloy harness pendant dating to the period c.1150-c. 1400). This front surface of the pendant is slightly raised creating a flattened D shaped side profile and it is cast in the shape of a scallop shell with a cut-away tear-drop shape in the centre. On the front of the pendant, there are a series of incised straight lines which extend out from a central point starting at base of the neck of the harness immediately below the suspension loop to the fluted edge of the pendant creating a series of elongated tear shapes with a curved outer edge. The reverse of the pendant is flat. The suspension loop itself is 7.3mm wide and is turned at 90° to the plane of the pendant and is tear shaped with a small hole in the centre of the widest part of the loop. The pendant is dark brown with areas of light green patina around the edges and on the reverse. The pendant is 46.7mm long, 36.1mm wide and 1.69mm thic across the flattest area and it weighs 9.10 grams. Examples from excavated contexts in Norfolk suggest a late twelfth-century date (Ashley 2002, p.26, fig. 25, ref: 4) although this example differs in having a tear shaped cut-out instead of a circular one. A similar scallop shaped example is described on page 46 No 234. Similar examples can be seen on the database including IOW C498 AA, SF-BD9F15 and SUR-178EC1.

OXON-B9D66F: PENDANT
A near complete Medieval cast copper alloy heraldic horse harness pendant, probably dating to c. AD 1189-1399. The pendant loop and edges of the shield are slightly chipped The pendant is in the shape of a square topped shield (Heater shield), with straight top and convex sides meeting at a point at the bottom. From the middle of the top edge projects an integral transverse loop. The loop folds back on itself and is filled with soil. The front of the mound has a heraldic design of enamel. This comprises a red background which would originally had three lions with paws raised (passant). Only parts of the lion closest to the loop are visible due to an infill of soil against the red background. The lion faces left and only parts of the animal remain including one of the raised paws, part of the head and the last top section of the back nearest the tail. The red enamel has gaps were the other two lions would have been. In heraldic terms this blazon would be described as 'gules, three lions passant guardant'. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The pendant is 34mm long (to the top of the loop), 21.6mm wide, 2.2mm thick and weighs 3.65 grams. Clark, Egan and Griffiths writing about the Medieval Horse and its equipment (Clark et al1995) record an example of an almost identical type of pendant on page 70.. Other examples can be found on the database including OXON-A6144E, WMID-512057. LVPL-8F3FDB, YORYM-FB89FA and SF-794962.

HARWICH . 1652 = I . M . W Dimensions: diameter: 15.59mm; weight: 0.90g Williamson 1889 writes "John Vandewall was the second son of Phillip Vandewall, and Sarah his wife. Resettled at Harwich as a baker, and died in 1657, leaving issue by Mary, his wife, three sons. Having joined the early Quakers, the mother and her sons appear to have suffered considerable persecution. The descendants of John Vandewall were very numerous, and several attained considerable commercial eminence, and were well-known members of the Society of Friends. The last of the family bearing the name was Phillip Vandewall, of White's Row, Whitechapel, who died in 1861 without issue." Reference: Williamson, G. C. 1889.

OXON-B9468E: NAIL CLEANER
An incomplete Roman nail cleaner A complete Roman copper alloy nail cleaner (toilet article) dating to circa AD 100 - 300. Most of the suspension loop and the forked tail of the nail cleaner are missing. The nail cleaner comprises a flat, leaf-shaped blade which tapers down from curved, offset shoulders to an old break which would originally have terminated in a forked tail. At the top of the nail cleaner there are two small stumps which curve out towards the shoulders of the cleaner and would originally have created a circular suspension loop. The nail cleaner is rectangular in cross section. The head of the nail cleaner is decorated by a centrally placed raised circle within which is a small trace of red enamel. Surrounding this central circle is a circle of 14 dots around which is an etched circle which has been extended to create a leaf shape by the addition of two etched lines which extend down the neck of the nail cleaner. Within this triangular extension of the circle is a series of 4 dots then two dots and a single dot which mirrors the leaf shape of the head. The opposing side of the blade is plain and undecorated. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The object has a green coloured smooth surface patina. The nail cleaner measures 31.1 mm long and has a maximum width of 14 mm across the shoulders. It is 1.76 mm thick and it weighs 2.51 grams. This nail cleaner falls into Crummy's Type 2a with offset shoulders and a narrow leaf shape and there are many parallels recorded on the PAS database including OXON-7BF5D7 and NCL-F1C187. Crummy dates this form from the middle of the first century AD.

The loop is decorated with grooves creating a ribbed effect. The fob frame is formed of two mirrored sides, each forming an omega shape. The sides are fused at the top (below the attachment loop) but part as they reach the die frame, resulting in four feet. There is a convex protrusion below the attachment loop but from here the curvilinear arms taper round towards bulbous terminals, between which is a floral decorative centre piece. Below each of the bulbous arm terminals is a spherical foot, forming attachments for the die frame. The die frame is oval in shape, it is bevelled on the upper face and flat on the die face. The frame is open at both the top and the bottom, so that the intaglio can be seen from both angles. The intaglio is red in colour and engraved with the portrait of a male. The bust is clothed, and the facial features are clear. He is possibly wearing a peruke or powdered wig, drawn in at the back of the neck. Surviving gold gilding is evident.

Lacking any diagnostic features, this ring has been dated on the appearence of the metal, but rings of various shapes and sizes have been used throuhgout history for a variety of functions, and a later date cannot be ruled out. Compare HESH-3BA708 and NMS-EAF666. Length: 28.61mm Width: 27.46mm Thickness: 4.53mm Weight: 6.56g

SWYOR-A49384: MOUNT
A copper alloy Post Medieval strap fitting; a bar mount with a separate loop for the suspesnion of a missing pendent loop, dating from AD 1350 - 1400. The mount has a circular domed body with a lobe projecting at each end. The central body is sub-circular, slightly concave at the reverse and domed at the front and features a lined pattern formed by four horizontal grooves. The lines between are beaded with transverse grooves. At either end of the central lobe is a sub-circular lobe with a centrally located copper alloy rivet. Both copper alloy rivets remain and they are circular in section. They are flush with the surface at the front. They extend to accommodate a strap which is 3.7mm thick, and one has a copper alloy circular rove. The other rivet supports a sheet loop, probably a suspension loop for a pendent loop. It is square at the end behind the mount, bent into a U shaped extending beyound the mount, and is rounded at the other end, which fixes back to the rivet. There is a second circular rivet hole in the very end of the strip. The object is 14.5mm long, 4.5mm wide, 5.1mm thick and weighs 1.69g. A fragment of leather also survives. It is double thickness at one end and is broken across the rivet hole. Similar mounts are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, 1150 - 1450, fig 134 page 214, and are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century.

SWYOR-A46C03: HARNESS PENDANT
An incomplete copper alloy Post Medieval harness pendant dating from AD 1200 - 1400. It is shield shaped, with a straight top and curved sides meeting at a point. The central motif is not clear. It may be an eagle or a stag. There is a three pronged branch of red enamel in each upper corner, with traces of gilding between them. The red enamel on the right side curves downwards and has triangular projections to the right, giving a ragged effect, perhaps of feathers or a coxcombe. The rest of the design is obscured by damage, and the bottom part of the pendant is missing. A suspension loop extends from the top, at right angles to the plane of the pendant. The pendant is 28.2mm long, 20.5mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 5.34g.

SWYOR-A4121D: PIN

NMS-960CCC: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Fragment of an unidentified copper-alloy object, possibly a chunky medieval brooch, with what appears to be a pin fixing on the reverse. All parts, with the exception of the axis bar, are integrally cast. There are three vacant circular collets, two of equal size and one very slightly larger, arranged on the same plane in a triangular formation. They are joined together by a short-limbed Y-shaped element. The limb that connects the larger collet is wider than the other two and tapers in width from the central junction to the collet. Three further elements project from the larger collet. One of these, which is directly opposite the Y-shaped element, survives only as a tiny stub, terminating in a worn break at its end and along one of its lateral edges. The break extends a few millimetres further around the collet, indicating that the original width was similar to that of the thicker limb of the Y-shaped part. The angle of the unbroken lateral edge of the stub suggests that this element also tapered in width as it approached the collet. The third and fourth elements are more substantial, although still little more than stubs terminating in worn breaks. They project from opposite sides of the larger collet, on the same plane and directly between the two aforementioned elements. They both gently curve away from the collets and seem to form part of a circular ring. They are of equal and constant width, somewhere between that of the narrowest and the widest part of the Y-shaped element. All of these elements projecting from and connecting the collets are transversally convex on the front. The collets are slightly taller (they project further forward) and they taper very minimally in diameter from rear to front. The edge of the Y-shaped element that joins the two smaller collets is relatively thick. Its surface, like the edges of those collets, is near perpendicular to the reverse of the object. The reverse is completely flat except the presumed pin fixing situated directly behind the larger collet. This consists of a pair of lugs, somewhere between semi-oval and trapezoidal in profile and rectangular in cross-section, arranged in parallel and spanning the width of the curving elements. They are each perforated with a single hole and are joined together by a separate circular-cross-sectioned axis bar, also made of copper alloy. The object is patinated dark green and there are tiny specks of bright orange-brown between the lugs. The base of the collets is pale brown or beige. The surface there is uneven in the case of the larger and one of the smaller collets, and reasonably flat in the other. No parallel has yet been noted. Tentatively dated to the medieval period, 12th to 15th century.

CORN-941D79: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete, cast, copper-alloy strap fitting or mount of probable Early Medieval to Medieval date (c. AD 750-1400). It is sub-rectangular in both plan and cross-section, widening at the intact end. At this end there is a sub-circular perforation, probably a rivet hole. This measures 2.51mm in diameter. There is a worn break at the other but the very edge of another perforation can be seen, suggesting that the object was symmetrical and featured two points for attachment onto a leather strap or harness. The object is undecorated and has a rough, green patina with some patches of brown corrosion present. Measurements: Length, 23.05mm; Width, 5.46mm; Thickness, 1.94mm; Weight, 0.70g. Similar objects are recorded on the PAS database such as NMS-D0C5B2, which is identified as an Early Medieval strap mount or belt stiffener. It is also possible that the object could be a harness fitting.

NARC-940B5A: STRAP END
An incomplete copper-alloy strap end of Early-Medieval date, c. AD 750 - 950. Thomas' Class A, Type 2. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section with a tapered lower terminal (closed end), and a worn break at the opposing end, which the split attachment plates would have extended. The retained portion is extensively decorated with incised motifs within three longitudinal rectangular panels, the central panel is filled with repeating transverse lines, forming rectangular cells. Flanking the central panel, both outer panels have repeating short, overlapping, curvilinear lines filling the panels. The central panel extends to the lower end of the plate, within the zoomorphic portion, while the outer panels terminate above the zoomorphic portion. The zoomorphic terminal depicts an animal with pointed triangular ears, and ovate eyes. Length: 24.62mm, Width: 12.24mm, Thickness: 1.36mm, Weight: 2.1g The metal is dark green in colour with a predominantly smooth patina. Late Anglo Saxon and Viking strap ends have been classified into several types by Thomas with this example fitting into Thomas' Class A, Type 2 dating broadly from the 9th century. Thomas (2003: p.2) describes Type 2 strap ends as patterned in style, at the cheaper end of the market with geometric designs being popular in combination with zoomorphic terminals. Ref. Thomas, G. (2004). Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age Strap-Ends 750-1100: Part 2 (FRG Datasheet 33). Sleaford: The Finds Research Group AD 700-1700.

NARC-93F969: MOUNT
A complete copper alloy Mount of Early Medieval date (AD 500-1050). The object is composed of a sub-triangular, flat sectioned plate, with a rounded upper lobe, from which a tapering projection is retained from one side. This projection forms the beak, while the rounded lobe forms the head of a bird, giving the object a zoomorphic form. Both sides of the plate are decorated with stamped ring and annulets, one within the rounded upper lobe, two within the lower corners of the object. Length: 18.57mm, Width: 28.99mm, Thickness: 2.77mm, Weight: 5.0g The metal is dark brown in colour with a slightly pitted patina. The function of the object is unclear, however similar stylistic examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: WREX-7DC2E8, DENO-965973 NLM-F8656E

KENT-93E772: COIN

NARC-93E207: MOUNT
An incomplete copper-alloy Mount of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date (AD 1500-1700). The object is composed of a central moulded plate, with a convex upper, in the form of a scallop shell with repeating radiating grooves. The upper edge of the plate is surmounted by a fleur-de-lis. The back of the plate is flat and retains two integral, projecting tapering attachment spikes, the lower of which terminates in an old, abraded break. Length: 17.26mm, Width: 17.05mm, Thickness: 2.21mm, Weight: 2.7g Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: KENT-997146, SWYOR-FF2242 and IOW-50D0A6

NMS-93E161: VESSEL
Incomplete and partly distorted bifurcated inverted Y-shaped mount of probably cast copper alloy, from an Early Saxon stave-built bucket (Cook 2004). The object may have held the end of a handle or have been set midway between two handle mounts. The upper end of the vertical part, above a round attachment hole, is missing and the break is not ancient. Below the bifurcation both terminals, which were probably in the form of bird's heads, are also missing but here the breaks are old. Decoration consists of three pairs of transverse engraved grooves and, between the upper two on the vertical part four notches on each edge. Weight 13.82g. Extant height 49mm. Thickness 2mm. 6th century

GLO-93CE34: COIN

NARC-93C51B: BROOCH
A complete gilt copper alloy Annular Brooch of Medieval date (AD 1200-1400). The object is composed of a circular frame which is D-shaped in cross-section, the back of the frame is flat with and upward angle towards the inner edge. The upper surface of the frame has moulded decoration and is divided into eight sections of equal size: four raised segments alternating with three which have 'bramble' decoration, being stamped with multiple small annular stamps in longitudinal rows. The remaining segment houses the constriction for the pin. A circumferential groove decorates the side of the frame. The pin has an oval loop, rectangular in cross section and a large square collar from where, it tapers. The pin is circular in cross-section. The upper surface retains traces of gilding. Diameter: 18.05mm, Thickness: 3.44mm, Weight: 3.1g Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: HAMP-0068E5, NMS-CB5E37 and NMS-A920A3.

NARC-93B3E5: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy finger Ring of Roman date (AD 200-300). Henig Type VIII. The object is composed of a distorted oval profile and rectangular sectioned band, with a raised central ovate bezel, partially missing and now without its intaglio. The shoulders are keeled and the band tapers in toward the lower portion. The shoulders are decorated with an incised chevron flanking the bezel, forming a lozenge in plan. And repeating short transverse lines on the outer edges of the shoulders, and a transverse, double collar at the lower end of the shoulder before the band tapers inward. The inner surface of the band is undecorated. Height: 21.40mm, Width: 24.90mm, Thickness (inc bezel): 5.62mm, Thickness (band): 2.34mm, Weight: 8.3g The metal is dark green in colour with a slightly pitted patina. Guiraud (1989) classifies this type of finger ring as Type 3p. Type 3p (Guiraud) has a bezel placed above the line of the ring, breaking the line, and with distinct shoulders. Often these are concave or cutaway shoulders, although type 3 also includes ‘keeled’ rings (with angles as the widest part of the hoop) where the bezel is raised. Henig’s equivalent type is perhaps the type VIII, which appears to include ‘keeled’ rings and those with concave or cutaway shoulders. Guiraud dates type 3 rings to the end of the 2nd and first three-quarters of the 3rd century (1989, 185) and Henig dates Type VIII to the 3rd century (2007, 13).

KENT-93AB38: COIN
A very worn Iron Age cast copper alloy unit, probably a Thurrock/ Kent Primary type potin of the Cantiaci dating to c.175 - 140 BC. Uncertain type.

Length: 37.75mm, Width (wings): 17.95mm, Thickness (bow): 3.31mm, Weight: 5.5g The metal is dark green in colour with a predominantly smooth patina. The brooch falls into Mackreth (2011) CD Ha 1.a1 or 1.a2. See Mackreth 2011, vol. II, p. 34, pl. 31, nos: 1029 and 1041 for similar examples.

NARC-9380A5: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Penannular Brooch of Roman date (AD 50-300). Booth Type A8 (Fowler Type A3). The object is oval in plan and circular in section with flattened terminals which are decorated with an incised circumferential groove. The pin is missing. Length: 41.69mm, Width: 39.08mm, Diameter: 4.87mm, Weight: 15.8g The metal is dark green in colour with a predominantly smooth patina. Cf. Baylay & Butcher, 2004, p. 141, no. 428.

CORN-936BD4: STRAP END
An incomplete, cast, copper-alloy probable strap end of probable Roman to Medieval date, (c. AD 43 - 1500). It is rectangular in plan and tapers slightly towards a rounded terminal. There is a worn transverse break at the wider rectilinear end. There is no visible evidence of any attachment points remaining, these were probably situated above the break. It has a smooth, dark brown patina and is undecorated. Measurements: Length, 30.59mm; Width (rectilinear end), 7.05mm; Width (rounded end), 5.48mm; Thickness, 2.74mm; Weight, 2.40g. There are similar examples recorded on the database such as SWYOR-A41082, which is dated to the Early Medieval periodand SOM-0B5C56 which is identified as Medieval.

NARC-935945: BRACELET
An incomplete copper-alloy possible penannular Bangle or probable Post-Medieval to Modern date (AD 1700-1950). The object is D-shaped in plan with curved edges. It is an annular loop, broken and opened slightly, and of varying width, wider at one side of the loop than at the terminal which taper in. The terminals of both sides terminate in old abraded breaks. There is no decoration. Length: 58.83mm, Width: 62.53mm, Thickness: 4.93mm, Weight: 46.1g The metal is dark green/brown in colour with a slightly pitted patina. SWYOR-EA58EE notes a similar object : is very bracelet-like, but the object's diameter suggests that were it a bracelet, or armlet, then it would only fit a child, and yet it is of heavy and bulky construction. Several similar objects are recorded as Roman bracelets (SWYOR-F15356, WMID-2E6538, WMID-AD8008 for example). However, of the large collection of over ninety 3rd to 4th century armlets catalogued by Nina Crummy, none are of the style and size of this object; all are of lighter construction, and most are decorated in some way (Crummy 1983, pp. 37-45). Though the patina is well-developed, the excellent condition of the metal could indicate a Post Medieval date. Compare LVPL-B885C9 and YORYM-CAF532 for examples, which have been tentatively identified as trigger guards, and dated to the 18th or 19th centuries. While trigger guards are usually not as circular as this example, this would seem to be a possibly identification for this object. See also SWYOR-4DBD73: that object, initially tentatively identified as a Roman bracelet, has since undergone XRF analysis, and the composition of the alloy suggests the alloy was less than fifty years old. The broken edges on this example appear to match, suggesting that this was an annular loop, which makes a trigger guard less likely. It could also be a loop from a harness, a fitting or a handle of some form.

NMS-934EE6: PIN
Incomplete Early to Middle Iron Age cast copper alloy ring-headed pin: the head and a stump of the shank both of pointed oval cross-section, patinated dark brown with some recent scuffing. Cf. LANCUM-0FB319, NMS-641255, NMS-038344 and Dunning 1934, fig. 4 no. 13. Weight 4.25g. Extant length 25mm. Width 21.5mm. Thickness 4mm. c.800 - c.100 BC

CORN-92D818: STRAP END
A cast, copper-alloy incomplete probable strap end of probable Early Medieval date (c. AD 750-1100). It is flat, broadly sub-rectangular in both plan and cross-section and features one rounded and one rectilinear end. Both ends appear fairly worn. No definitive evidence of attachment remains, although there is a small, circular indentation on the reverse. One face is decorated along its length with a line of incised or moulded crescent shaped grooves measuring roughly 1.62mm long and 0.97mm wide on average. It has a fairly worn patina and is uneven on the edges. It is green-brown with brown present in the recessed areas such as the decoration. Measurements: Length, 29.89mm; Width, 4.63mm; Thickness, 1.20mm; Weight, 0.72g. I bears similarities to other Early Medieval strap ends recorded on the PAS database such as SF-91F986 or LVPL-CCE831. Thomas (2003) illustrates an example similarly decorated with crescent shaped grooves, see page 3, Fig. 1.6 (Class A, Type 2 - Patterned).

YORYM-92B419: FERRULE
A complete copper-alloy ferrule of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1800 – 1900. The object is formed of a rectangular strip of metal rolled to form a tube which is slightly narrower at one end than the other. This results in an angled overlapping seem. It is decorated to either end with double banded circumferential grooves. The metal has a dark grey/green patina and is in good condition. The object is 24.1mm long, 5.1m min diameter, o.7mm thick and weighs 1.4g. The form and construction of this object suggests a relatively modern date and a function such as a ferrule for a paint brush or similar.

YORYM-929D71: COSMETIC SPOON
An incomplete copper-alloy cosmetic implement of Roman date, c.AD 200 - 410. The implement comprises a circular sectioned shaft which tapers slightly before expanding into a scoop terminal at one end. The opposite end terminates in a worn break.

An incomplete copper-alloy one piece Colchester brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date, c.AD 25 - 60. Mackreth 2011, Type 2, Standard British Colchester, plate 22, no.211. The head of the brooch comprises short rectangular wings with an integral forward-facing hook projecting from the centre of the top edge. The hook is broken and distorted. To the reverse of the head, an integral circular sectioned strip of metal extends from the centre of the lower edge coiling around a separate axis bar to form three turns of the spring. The last coil continues across the top of the head where it crosses below the hook. It then curves back to the reverse of the head, forming a single turn of the spring around the opposite end of the axis bar before terminating in a worn break. A circular sectioned bow projects centrally from the front of the wings tapering gradually to a worn point. The brooch is distorted and appears undecorated and only a small fragment of the catchplate remains to the reverse. The metal has a dark red/brown patina and is worn. The brooch is 37mm long, 14mm wide, 2.9mm thick and weighs 3.5g. Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt p.296, fig.155. Ref: Hattatt, R.

YORYM-915C6B: FINGER RING
An incomplete coper-alloy snake head finger ring of Roman date, c.AD 43-200. The finger ring is in two pieces; the hoop and one terminal – a second terminal is lost to a worn break. The surviving snake head terminal is pointed ovate with a D-shaped section, tapering to an integral ovate sectioned hoop to one side. The hoop terminates in a worn break. The upper surface is decorated with moulded detail featuring raised pointed ovate eyes flanking an elongated raised ridges nose. The head is bordered by transverse ridges. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The hoop is formed of a rectangular strip of metal, curved to form a loop, which narrows to the terminal ends which are both broken. The exterior surface of the hoop bears incised decoration in the form of repeated chevrons. The interior of the hoop is undecorated. The metal has a dark green patina and is in good condition. The hoop is 24.6mm in diameter, 5.6mm wide, 0.8mm thick. The terminal is 16.7mm long, 6.9mm wide, 2.1mm thick. The objects weighs 2.8g. A similar, though silver, object is recorded as 2022 T1017 (SUSS-FC3136) from near Tangmere, Sussex which discusses the snake headed ring as forming part of a fashion for ‘serpentiform’ jewellery introduced to Britain during the 1st century AD (Johns 1996, 44). The snake depicted on rings of this type was associated with Asclepius, god of healing and became fashionable during the 2nd century (Cool 2010, 33). The snake could also be associated with Mercury and can be interpreted as symbolic of both rebirth and death since the snake often features in funerary contexts; rings of this type have been included in mid second century jewellery hoards, such as the Snettisham hoard and interpreted as an indigenous production (Cool 2000).

NMS-915A7A: BUCKLE
Medieval trapezoidal copper alloy buckle frame with an offset, narrowed bar, slightly convex sides with a ridge near each corner and five filed grooves on the outside edge. Cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991 no. 438. Weight 3.30g. Length 18.2mm. Width 21.3mm. Second half 14th century.

YORYM-9132BA: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy penannular brooch of Roman date, c. AD 10 - 400. Booth Type D (Fowler Type D). The brooch is circular in plan and section with each end bent back on itself at right angles to the plane of the hoop. No decoration is present on the hoop or terminals and the pin no longer remains. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The brooch is 24.5mm long, 2mm ion diameter, 4mm thick at the terminals and weighs 1.5g. Dr Anna Booth (2014, p.147) discusses the distribution of Type D brooches as being highly concentrated in South-West Britain with lower numbers scattered across much of the rest of Britain including a small cluster in north Lincolnshire. The greatest number come from Roman towns, followed by villas, hillforts and then military sites with a relatively small number found on rural settlement sites. Type D became popular during the first half of the first century AD with the earliest securely dated examples coming from Bagendon, dated AD c.30-40, and Sheepen, Colchester, in a pit dated AD c.10-43. They continued to be deposited in relatively consistent numbers throughout the following three centuries (ibid; p.158). Ref: Booth, A. (2014) Reassessing the long chronology of the penannular brooch in Britain: exploring changing styles, use and meaning across a millennium. Leicester: Leicester University unpublished thesis.

NMS-9112A3: BROOCH
One terminal and part of the bow of an Early Anglo-Saxon copper alloy Equal-arm brooch with non-recent breaks. The terminal is oval with a small punched cross-shaped impression in the centre of the front and an incomplete catchplate set off-centre on the reverse. The short surviving length of the bow which has lost almost all of one edge is convex with a hollow underside. A small projection in the centre of the reverse at the sproinging of the bow is probably a casting flaw. Parts of both faces of the bow and terminal, especially the reverse, are covered in a dull pale brown material. No parallel for the terminal's oval form has been noted, but its large size, length 29mm, width 24.8mm, rules out identification as an Ansate brooch of the 8th- to 10th-century, and late 5th- to mid 6th-century date is suggested. Weight 9.67g. Extant length 34.5mm.

DEV-90A272: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman sestertius of Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180), dating to the period AD 170-171 (Reece period 8). Reverse type PRIMI/ DECEN/NALES/ COS III/ S C in wreath. Mint of Rome. See RIC III, p. 293

CORN-909FD8: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast, copper-alloy small-long or cruciform brooch of probable Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) date (c. AD 400-600). A section of the bow and foot remains along with catchplate which is approximately 7.67mm in length. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, tapering slightly and features worn breaks at either end. It is broadly D-shaped in cross-section. There is a small section of the curved bow remaining just above the catchplate. It is decorated with transverse grooves and dots. From the top of the fragment downwards - there are 4 equally spaced transverse grooves, the 4th sitting exactly at the angled section where the bow begins to curve (just above the catchplate), there are 2 further transverse grooves at approximately 3.25mm below this. Within the space between these grooves are three almost equidistant incised or moulded dots. Approximately 7mm below this section are a further 2 transverse lines, there appear to be further dots in this section although they are somewhat obscured by corrosion. The last remaining section below this appears similarly decorated but also features a slightly raised surface, giving a thicker cross section. The fragment has a slightly uneven, worn patina and is green-brown in colour. It is possible that the fragment originally featured a zoomorphic termincal. Measurements: Length, 23.38mm; Width, 7.67mm; Thickness at bend, 3.26mm; Weight, 2.47g. A number of similarly decorated Early Medieval brooches have been recorded on the database, in various states of completeness, such as LEIC-CBECC0, NMS-94327D, YORYM-93BA9D.

DEV-90849A: BOOK FITTING
An incomplete post-medieval book clasp, of Howsam type A.3 dating to the 15th to16th centuries. It is in two pieces. It is comprises a long, thin strip of copper-alloy sheet, with one end slightly flared. It tapers to the opposite end which was originally hooked. but this is now damaged. At the hooked end the clasp retains one central rivet, with two concentric rings around it. The clasp is pierced by three holes transversely at the flared end, the central hole being blocked by iron corrosion while the outer two are empty. Near the edge of the flared end are two centrally placed iron rivets. There are traces of low relief decoration over much of the front surface but the details are obscured by corrosion. The rear is undecorated. The metal on the front surface has corroded to a reddish brown. The metal on the reverse surface has green corrosion on much of it. Parts of the clasp are lost to corrosion and tearing. The length is 71mm; the width at the widest end is 24mm and at the narrowest end, it is 20mm. Thickness is 1.0mm. The weight is 5.08g. Similar objects are FAKL-9EC55F and SUR-B7CB29.

WILT-8F55AE: PIN
A complete copper-alloy early Iron Age cast ring-headed 'swan-neck' pin dating to c. 550-50 BC. The head is ring-shaped and circular in cross-section. There is a diagonal join at one side where one end meets the stem. One end terminates here, with three bands of three closely spaced, transverse grooves before the flat end. The other curves round in an S-shape (hence the term 'swan-necked') before extending downwards to create the stem, which is slightly mishapen as it tapers down to a narrow point. The dark-green patina surface is pitted and where it is slightly corroded has white staining. Dimensions: Length 83.0mm; loop diameter 17.8mm; thickness 3mm; weight 5.33g. C.f. PAS records: SF-55ED42, SF-8AB544, DOR-514CD7, SWYOR-AC75E3, NLM-520A57. There is also a similar example from Bury St Edmunds in the British Museum Collection (1870,0402.813). On the record for SF-55ED42, Dr Andrew Lamb (pers. com. 29/09/2022) kindly offers the following comments: 'it is a Type 3.3 (after Becker 2000)... Our preliminary results suggest that they may fall out of use in the 1st century BC. There is one at Mill Hill, Deal, which was associated with a La Tène III brooch. However, it seems that by the 1st century AD the swan-necked pins have been succeeded by ibex-headed pins, at least in the north and Ireland (I can't think of any Aylesford or Durotrigian burials which have produced swan-necked pins).'

OXON-8BBF2C: BUCKLE
Post Medieval (c. AD 1660-1720) incomplete cast copper alloy double looped shoe or knee buckle: The spindle is missing due, only the frame remains which is sub-rectangular with rounded corners. At either end of the spindle there is moulded scrolled decoration. On the loop, on the interior edge there is a slightly pointed convex area where normally a notch would be positions. The frame is a sub-D shape in section. The surface of the buckle has a mid grey-green patina. The buckle measures 42.98mm, 28.82mm wide and weighs 7.58g A comparable buckle is recorded in Whitehead (2003) No. 609 which is dated to c. 1660-1720, although no evidence for the dating is supplied. Ref: Whitehead, R., Buckles 1250-1800, Greenlight Publishing, 2003

OXON-8BB344: MOUNT
Medieval (late 12th or mid 14th century) possible altar cross mount or casket mount: The copper alloy plate mount is an elongated triangle with the tip tapering to a rounded point. The tip is folded over backwards and it is not certain whether this is intentional or not. There is a rivet hole towards the tip suggesting the fold is more likely to be accidental. There are two other rivet holes, one in each corner (although one is incomplete) which give the object the mount identification. The outer face of the mount is decorated with an design which is possibly foliate and depicted in enamel, but only traces of blue enamel remain.The reverse is undecorated. The surface of the mount has patches of a mid green patina, and areas of red copper corrosion. It measures 36.08mm long from the base to the fold, 32.6mm wide across the base and weighs 18.53g. The style of the enamelling identifies it as a probable product of the Limoges industry of Central France, which was a major centre of production for enamelled metalwork, particularly ecclesiastical pieces, from the late 12th to mid 14th centuries. The PAS database includes several examples of such cross fittings.

OXON-83A546: TOKEN
Post Medieval (mid 17th to late 17th century) trade token issued by Thomas Mathewes of Burford of The Beare, Dickinson No. 48. Trade tokens were issued between 1648 and 1672 at a time when there was little low denomination coinage being issued by the crown. As a result traders and business proprietors began issuing tokens as an alternate coinage with equivalent denominations of a farthing, half penny or penny. Such trade tokens rarely travel far from their place of issue and provide an insight to the trade of the time. In 1672 regal copper coinage was introduced and the trade tokens were then banned (Besly 1997, 20).

NMS-809207: HARNESS FITTING
Very small fragment of a Late Iron Age to Early Roman copper alloy terret with ancient breaks and distorted by heat, part of a round-sectioned ring, part of a round collar and the stump of a rectangular-sectioned bar. The complete object was certainly of the D-shaped ring and bar general type, but what remains is insufficient to enable a precise class to be suggested. It was most probably of the Simple class, i.e. the ring was undecorated and lacked excrescences (Lewis 2015, 87-9). Extant length 20.2mm. Weight 5.08g. 1st century BC - 1st century AD

Some small remains of a white metal coating suggest it once covered the buckle frame surface. The buckle has a grey patina with small specs of white-metal coating. The buckle is 20.34mm long, 24.44mm wide, 6.59mm thick and weighs 4.91g. The set-back bar indicates provision for a thick strap apt for a lighter item of horse harness, perhaps tackle situated on the head.

WILT-7DBE98: BUCKLE
An incomplete zoomorphic Medieval copper-alloy tubular buckle frame dating from c. AD 1100 - 1200. The loop of the buckle frame is incomplete as the offset bar and pin are missing, due to an old break. The outer edge of the frame expands to a large zoomorphic head, perhaps intended to depict a dog, bear or similar animal. The buckle frame projects from the lower edge at the back of the head. The back face of the head itself is smooth and almost flat, with no decoration. It has a small circular perforation or rivet hole.This is moulded into the shape of an animal head with a gaping mouth. The head is hollow, oval shaped in section and with an oval shaped aperture at the outer edge forming the mouth of the animal. The front face has cast decorative elements that give the face its form. At the inner edge is a raised brow with transverse grooves behind and small projecting upright ears, each with a small perforation in front of them. The animal has deeply set lentoid eyes with hollowed out, but not perforated, pupils. It has a short snout that has transverse moulded ridges and upturned nose with some slight damage. Beneath the snout is an undecorated open oval shaped mouth, presumably through which the strap would originally have passed. Dimensions: Length: 30.4mm; width: 21.2mm; height: 19.3mm; weight: 16.28g. Similar buckle frames are noted on the PAS database: SF-E1A115, SWYOR-B57064, ESS-407791, NMS-4A6DC4 and LEIC-385BD8. This type of buckle has been studied by A. Rogerson and S. Ashley, who have christened it the 'gaping-mouth beast' buckle. It is the subject of an article in Medieval Archaeology (2011). They consider that the head is of Romanesque appearance and so a 12th-century date is likely.

YORYM-7DBB16: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of medieval date, c.AD 1350 - 1450. The buckle has a single looped oval frame with a projecting lip to the outer edge. From the opposite side of the loop two arms of an integral forked spacer extend, each arm flanking a narrowed pin bar. The arms of the forked spacer taper in width to worn breaks. A sub-rectangular sectioned pin remains looped around the narrowed bar. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The buckle is 29.94mm long, 26.89mm wide, 2.91mm thick and weighs 6.09g. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, p.37, no.216 and is dated to circa AD 1350 - 1450. Ref: Whitehead, R. (1996). Buckles 1250-1800. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing.

LON-7DA6C6: BRACELET
A fragment of a copper alloy penannular, armilla bracelet or armlet of early Roman date, AD 43 - 100. The remaining fragment consists of part of the band, decorated with a central parallel band of cable decoration running the length of the remaining fragment. Dimensions: length: 17.48mm; width: 11.14mm; thickness: 1.39mm; weight: 2.00 g. Reference: Crummy, N, 2005. From bracelets to battle-honours: military armillae from the Roman conquest of Britain. 93-105 Crummy, N. 1983. The Roman small finds from excava- tions in Colchester 1971-9, Colchester Archaeological Report 2 (Colchester). Cool, H.E.M. 1983. A study of the Roman personal orna- ments made of metal, excluding brooches, from southern Britain, unpublished PhD thesis, University of Wales. Crummy (2005:98): "The consistent parallels between the designs on the bracelets and those on military belt-fittings and on brooches favoured by army personnel allow the bracelets to be defined as products in the same tradition and from the same workshop(s) as the militaria. The bracelets can therefore be identified as armillae, the military award granted to ranks below centurion for force of arms in battle (Watson 1970, 115; Maxfield 1981, 89-91). No bracelets of precisely the same design, or even one that is reasonably similar, have so far been found in the continental small finds literature. Riha compared two convex-section penannular bracelets from Augst to the British group, but the similarity is only superficial; one is complete and tapers to plain blunt-ended terminals, the other is a repoussé-decorated fragment in a different decorative tradition entirely (1990, 59, Taf. 20, 552, Taf. 79, 3000). Given this lack of continental parallels the inevitable conclusion is that the bracelets found in southern, and particularly eastern, England were awarded following engagements that took place in the early years of the Roman conquest of Britain and are specific to that campaign." Crummy (2005:101) "Far from being introduced female dress accessories or a post-conquest flourishing of a pre-conquest La Tène tradition, wide strip bracelets of the early Roman period are battle-honours, military awards made by the same smiths who supplied legionary belt-fittings and brooches. In any quantified analysis of site assemblages they should therefore jump functional category from personal ornament to military equipment. In the light of this re-interpretation, any preconception that Roman-period bracelets should automatically be regarded as female objects, particularly when they derive from contexts associated with the active military phases of the occupation of Britain, should be treated with suspicion."

DUR-7D720C: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy dragonesque brooch of the Roman period, dated to the first - second century AD, (c.AD50-200). This brooch is 38.9mm long, 19.1mm wide and 6.5mm thick, weighing 10.2g. It is generally S-shaped, each terminal moulded in the shape of a creature's head and having a wide curving waist between the terminals. A collar is present around the neck of one of the creature terminals, this collar being the remains of the pin, which would have fastened by resting in the curve ofthe opposed terminal. The pin is missing beyond the collar. The surface is smooth and mid brown in colour where it survives around part of the waist and over most of the reverse, but most of the face is roughened by green corrosion products. The collar is a darker brown colour with small patches of corrosion. The animal head terminals at each end are shaped with an ear and curved snout. A circle in relief within a circular groove is in the position of one of the creature's eyes. The neck is slender and curves up and round into the broad waist of the S-shape. The waist has a raised central circular boss within a deep surrounding circular groove. Raised curved "trumpet" shapes are positioned each side of the groove so as to form a double-pointed shield shape. Between the raised shield-shaped centre and the terminal on each side there is a single cut-out in a curved wedge shape to echo the shape of the trumpets. A decorative groove runs from the cut-out around the curve of the waist above and below the raised shield shape. A white material is present in the circular groove surrounding the boss, but, although superficially having the appearance of enamel, it is more likely to be a waxy substance used to clean or preserve this object after its discovery. This material also appears on the internally curved edges of the brooch, where it has accumulated. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. The collar, which forms the head of the pin, is wrapped around the neck of one beast overlapping itself for almost half a turn, after which the end is broken off. The collar has a linear groove along its length. Dragonesque brooches are generally regarded as a hybridised brooch form, reflecting newer Roman influences of the 1st and 2nd centuries, but firmly rooted in the artistic traditions of the Iron Age. Bayley and Butcher (2004,171) note that this type of brooch is found in both military and native contexts, with a marked concentration in the north of Britain. Mackreth (2011a, p871; 2011b Pl. 127, no.7754) classifies all non-enamelled openwork Dragonesque brooches as DRAG Type 2, while Hunter's (2010, p.97-8) more developed classification designates brooches of this type, with a ring surrounding the central boss, as "Non-enamelled dragonesque brooches; openwork" Type B1ai. A very similar brooch is recorded on the database as NCL-3EABC0, notably lacking any pin. Dragonesque brooches are typically dated from the early Roman period to the end of the 2nd century, c.AD50-200. References: Bayley, Justine, and Sarnia Butcher. 2004.

NMGW-7D1AC5: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch of Alcester type, subclass Mackreth 2011 Almgren 101 dating to the 2nd century AD. The brooch is comprised of the head, spring with a fragment of the pin, bow, foot and catch plate (overall length 49.7mm) with much of the pin missing in old damage. The brooch likely had plates on either side of the spring to secure the axis bar as all examples of the type include them (Mackreth 2011: 192), but these have been lost to old damage and iron corrosion. The head is trumpet-like in form with a D-shaped section (width 17.6mm x 10.9mm thick). The integrally cast plate is nearly flush with the head, but with straight sides that slant up towards the apex where a rounded perforated knop projects from the top (5.4mm long x 4.4mm wide x 1.8mm thick, internal diameter of perforation 1.6mm). A shallow groove defines the head from the plate. The spring is preserved on the reverse of the head plate, coiled around an iron axis bar. A small portion of the pin protrudes from the top of the spring (7.6mm long). Corrosion and surface damage conceal much of the decoration, but some elements preserve: the head and upper bow is decorated with incised grooves forming a decorative border along the top of the head with ring and dot mouldings within (similar to other examples e.g. Mackreth 2011 no. 3665 and 5550). Just below this border are two larger circular elements, flanking a rib in low relief running longitudinally down the bow. The bow curves down and narrows at the mid-bow (5.6mm wide. A thin openwork circle is integrally cast on the reverse (5.6mm internal diameter) similar to one illustrated in Mackreth (2011: no.3665 and no.5548). The mid-bow expands at the narrowest point to a large ledge or button element that is flat on the bottom (12.0mm wide x 8.8mm deep). The leg expands from the back of the ledge-button forming a 90 degree angle in profile with a flat surface that is corroded, but a small circular moulding preserves at the top. The leg expands gradually (max width 11.9mm) to a tiny spiked foot that is slightly forward-facing. Most of the catch plate preserves on the reverse of the brooch (8.7mm deep x 18.9mm long) beginning at the ledge and running down the leg, stopping just before the spiked foot. The metal is an uneven mottled dark and light green patina with patches of dark grey, likely from a white metal surface treatment, and weighs 13.19g. Similar brooches are recorded on the PAS database e.g. LVPL-47C75A, OXON-A4F3E4, SF-650B86 Similar brooches are illustrated in Mackreth (2011: plate 133; Chapter 8 Part 2 Almgren 101 a-e, Part 3 FG FG.a-FG.e), especially no. 3665 and 5550 – the brooch is overall similar to 5550, but has the open circle on the reverse like 3665.

YORYM-7CF87C: SCISSORS
A cast copper alloy loop, probably from a pair of scissors or a candle snuffer, likely dating between the post-Medieval to Modern period, c. AD 1600-1950. The loop is sub-circular and undecorated and is roughly D-shaped in section. A rectangular sectioned projection extends from the exterior edge of the loop and terminates shortly afterwards with a worn break. The object is 28.61mm long, 24.95 wide and 2.91mm thick. It weighs 4.15g. Similar handles have been recorded on the PAS database including SUR-74AA0B, OXON-2F5F8D, LANCUM-842FC8 and OXON-A3027E. It is possible that this handle may have originated from a candle snuffer instead of a pair of scissors as both were produced with similar style handles. Similar examples of candle snuffer / scissor handles have been published by Bailey (1995, pp68-69). Bailey, G.1995. Detector Finds. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing.

HAMP-7CB8C8: CRUCIFIX
A mostly complete cast copper alloy and wood crucifix of modern date, with a missing attachment loop. The cross is cast copper alloy with depressions on both the front and back that were filled with wood. The crucified Christ and INRI plaque are connected to the wood and copper alloy by small circular rivets. Christ is well-defined and there is a diamond-shaped copper alloy mount behind the head with representations of a radiate halo. The reverse of the crucifix has a floral copper-alloy mount in the centre, and a wood inlay held in place with iron rivets. The crucifix is modern c. 1900 and was likely part of a rosary.

HAMP-7C7CA9: PIN
An inomplete copper-alloy oblate-headed pin of possible Roman date (Ad 100-400) . The object is comprised of a copper-alloy rod that is circular in section, with a spherical head at its tip. The end of the object has broken off. The surface is fairly smooth with a glossy green patina.

NMS-7C1BB6: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Unidentified copper-alloy object. Probably medieval and incomplete. It is flat in cross-section and curved like an incomplete letter C when viewed from the front or rear. The two ends, which may be worn breaks, are fairly straight and transverse. One end is slightly narrower and thinner. It widens gradually over two-thirds of its length and then begins to narrow again until the slightly wider end is reached. It thickens gradually but marginally over the full distance. Neither face is decorated and both have a similar surface texture. One face is more likely to be the front, however, because it seems to be bevelled at the lateral edges, although this is now very rounded, not obvious, and only visible on the wider part. Probably12th to 15th century. Length: 29.6mm. Width: 22.5mm. Thickness: 2.7mm. Weight: 4.0g

SUR-7C0C9E: JETTON

WILT-7BF598: MOUNT
An incomplete Medieval copper alloy circular possible mount dating to c. AD1200-1500. The find is circular in plan, although a small part of the outer frame is missing and the find is slightly warped, due to old damage. It has a ropework design on the front face, in a disjointed spiral pattern. There is a central knop and traces of gilding are in evidence over the front of the find. The reverse is undecorated and there is no evidence of a fitting, which suggests it is not a brooch. Dimensions: Diameter: 43.5mm; thickness: 5.1mm; weight: 18.95g.

HAMP-7BE8B8: HARNESS FITTING
A Bronze Age to Early Medieval copper alloy object, probably a ring, a terret ring or harness fitting of the Late Iron Age to Early Roman period, dating from c. BC 150 - c. AD 100.The ring is circular in plan with a central perforation. In cross section the bead is oval with very smooth sides both on its exterior and in the central hole. It has a smooth and glossy medium green patina. The bead is decorated with punched dots in a single line around its circumference on both the front and back.

HAMP-7BB9E1: FINGER RING
An incomplete Roman copper alloy penannular finger ring in the form of a coiled snake, dating from about AD 100-400. The hoop is sub-circular in plan and rectangular in section. The terminal on the outside of the finger-ring tapers to a point and represents the tail of the snake. The other terminal is broken, but is expanded and probably would have formed the head of the snake. The ring has a small circular knob near the tail, and the ring is decorated with a series of moulded lines ranging from angled single ribs near the tail, to a herring-bone pattern near the head. The pattern is broken by a plain section about 6mm in length bounded by moulded vertical lines near the centre of the rings circumference, and a similar plain section bounded by moulded vertical lines near the head-end of the snake.

NMS-7B6264: STRAP FITTING
Fragment of a Late Roman to early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy tubular-sided strap fitting. It is formed of a single sheet of metal, probably once rectangular but now with worn and irregular breaks at all edges, curled into a C-shaped profile. It bears decoration on one side of the external face only. A series of gilded transverse grooves and channels (wider concave-profiled grooves) seems to extend from end to end. However, too much of the metal on this side, at one end, is missing to be certain of the full extent. There are five extant channels interspersed with four pairs of grooves. Outside the final channel at the better preserved end there is a single groove, lying at approximately two millimetres from the edge. Outside the final channel at the other end there is the tip of another single groove. This lies at approximately nine millimetres from the furthest extent of the metal at this end. At both ends there is enough metal to preserve at least the tip of a second groove if they were to form pairs spaced at the same distance as the others. As this is not the case, it suggests that the pattern begins and ends with the single lines at each end, spanning a distance of twenty-two millimetres. The metal is patinated dark brown, with some significant lumps of pale green corrosion products adhering to both the external and internal faces. The edges are also pale green. The gilding is well preserved. Late 4th to 5th century. Length: 33.1mm. Diameter: 7.3mm. Thickness of sheet: 1.6mm. Weight: 2.3g

SUSS-7AA5AC: KEY (LOCKING)
A Roman cast copper alloy figurative object in the form of a lion, possibly a small rotary key handle. The object comprises the upper body of a lion, including the head, neck, shoulders and forelegs, the front paws are outstretched and linked with a horizontal circular sectioned bar to create an attachment loop with a rectangular aperture. The head is worn with no features surviving although beneath the chin are five curved incised lines to represent the mane. The body narrows to the waist where it ends in a raised double collar terminating in an open circular socket. The inner collar is worn and appears beaded (1.5mm wide) with a thick convex collar at the rim (5.26mm wide). The internal socket is sub-circular and recessed at the collar becoming broadly conical and tapering to an apex 8.5mm from the rim edge. It measures internally: 6.4mm in diameter. The object has a dark green patina. Measurements: height: 23.2mm; width: 11.1mm; thickness: 16.6mm and weight: 8.69g. Roman keys with lion handles have been found on a number of other sites in Britain, for example Fishbourne (Cunliffe 1971 p. 121 no. 144), Verulamium (Frere 1984 p. 47 no. 18) and Baldock (p. 136 no. 137). No exact parallel has been found for this object, but it is similar in form to Roman zoomorphic key handles such as BH-E96707; NLM-1E9032; WREX-AAC496 and SF-6038E8, which has been pierced for suspension. It is notably very small, but may relate to a rotary key for a casket.

WMID-7A7BFB: VESSEL
An incomplete copper alloy foot / leg from a copper alloy cooking vessel of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1400 - AD 1700). The vessel fragment is sub rectangular in plan and sub triangular in cross section. The vessel leg has a flared terminal, probably imitating an animal paw. A horizontal ridge is located above the flared terminal. The interior surface is flat. Both the top and base have been broken at an angle and exhibits a rough, uneven surface. The foot / leg measures 60.9 mm in length, 40.2 mm wide and 31.4 mm thick. It weighs 255.0 grams. The foot / leg is mid to dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Traces of a black patina are present. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. The remains of copper alloy cooking vessels have been regularly recorded through the PAS, with many variants on the design. This leg was probably originally part of a cauldron, suggestive by the ridge on the exterior, similar to the example illustrated in figure 1 of Butler, Green & Payne's 2009 datasheet on Cast Copper Alloy cooking vessels. These cast copper alloy vessels tend to be of late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (15th to 17th Centuries AD).

SUSS-7A5C04: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman enamelled copper alloy plate brooch probably a Continental type dating c. AD 100-200. The plate is flat on the reverse and slightly convex on the upper surface with worn breaks around all edges. The upper surface of the surviving plate contains 16 trapezoidal cells radiating around a central central raised linear annulet. Within the annulet are 12 trapezoidal cells radiating around a raised circular boss with small circular recess in centre; probably for the attachment of a missing element such as a boss or stud. Blue enamel remains in alternate cells on the outer ring. The outer edges of the plate are missing except in one short section; suggesting an outer panel measuring 5.5mm wide. The surviving section is decorated in relief, possibly with a circular annulet. On the reverse is a worn rectangular double lug, probably the hinge for the missing pin, measuring: 6.7mm long x 5.8mm wide. The upper surface of the lug is slightly convex. The metal surfaces have a worn green patina. Measurements: length: 31.73mm; width: 28.2mm; thickness of plate: 2.9mm and weight: 8.5g. The plate is incomplete and an exact parallel has not been identified but similar examples with a central boss or stud and double lugged hinges can be found in Hattat (2000); fig 204; Bayley & Butcher (2005: 129) no. 369; Hull T250 and Mackreth 2011, plate 116, no. 6974.

SUSS-793317: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete late early-medieval copper alloy openwork unidentified object with Romanesque style decoration dating c. 950-1150. The object is hollow, trapezoidal in plan and rectangular in cross-section, measuring externally 20.2 x 8.2mm at the wider end and narrowing to 8.5 x 6.7mm at the shorter end. Both ends are open. The narrow sides are plain and undecorated, but both the upper and reverse faces are decorated in covering openwork moulded relief. One surface depicts a four legged beast, probably a lion or dog, prowling to the wider end, with front paw raised. The head is worn and unclear, but the beast's head is raised with the snout in the upper corner of the plate. In the closed jaws is the stem of a foliate tendril held at the base of the flowerhead. The flower comprises two curved outer petals which hang aside the raised paw; the curved linear stem passing through the jaws and behind the head emerging over the shoulder and terminating at the elbow of the raised leg. A second tendril (or possibly the other end of the previous one), emerges from the haunches of the beast with a large flaring 'fishtail' flower with two scrolling petals and a central knop. The decoration on the opposing face is less clear, with a section of the plate missing at the wider edge. There is an unclear beast, with a rounded head and humped ovoid body, possibly with the snout in the upper corner of the plate. The body rests on the lower edge of the plate with a possible front paw tucked under the breast. The body tapers and narrows to the lower edge of the plate where it extends in a pair of foliate tendrils with 'fishtail' flowers; one curving back to the beasts back and the other curving behind the beast, the flower sitting on the lower edge and narrow end of the plate. The metal surface is reddish brown with green areas and there are possible feint traces of gilding remaining on the inside edge of the wider rim edge. There is an unclear separate, corroded metallic element within the object. It sits 6.5mm below the rim and extends is broadly triangular in plan (measuring approximately: 14mm long; 16mm wide and 4.5mm thick); with a rectangular in cross-section; fitting neatly in the slot. Measurements: length: 43.5mm; width: 20.2mm to 8.5mm; thickness: 8.2-6.7mm; and weight: 16.60g. This object belongs to a growing body of unidentified objects recorded on the PAS database given 10th and 11th century date from their decorative style (see Webley and Burnett 2013). Compare: HAMP-DD8721 and GLO-F8F31B which has the same style tendrils. A strapend with a similar Romanesque style beast with tendrils is recorded as SUSS-A6D775 dating c. 1050-1150. Further finds of similar form recorded on this database included: SUR-6D7060, GLO-DF3461, which also contains an iron plate, NMS-023DD1, and also SOM-290222 with similar decoration but a split terminal end.

SUSS-689343: MOUNT
A gilded copper alloy mount probably dating to the Medieval period c. AD 1200-1450. The object is constructed from copper alloy sheet and comprises a rectangular plate with concave long edges. A rectangular tab (14.05mm long x 15.06mm wide) projects from one long edge with a central circular aperture. There is an area of wear on the outside edge of the aperture nearest the main plate suggesting this is a mount rather than a pendant. It is not clear if there was an opposing projecting tab, but there is a possible worn break on the lower long edge of the plate. The upper side of the main plate is decorated with a border of rocker arm zig-zags along the plate edges and below the projecting tab. The remaining three sides of the projecting tab are also decorated the same border. There are traces of gilding around the aperture. The reverse is undecorated with visible file marks and two circular patches of copper alloy corrosion, one at a lower corner and another halfway up a short edge, possibly from a missing component. The metal surface has a dark green patina on the upper surface and dark grey on the reverse. Measurements: total length: 40.15mm; width: 30.16mm; thickness: 0.81mm and weight: 5.17g. The function of the object is unclear but the rocker arm decoration suggest a Medieval date. See: DOR-C76D4E and SUSS-2168F3 for other objects with rocker decoration, and a gilded example SWYOR-10BB35.

SWYOR-67E16D: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy incomplete unidentified object, possibly of Iron Age date, perhaps part of a harness fitting or tankard handle. It is of rectangular cross section, broken at both ends. One end is triangular, with a a V shaped indentation in from the break. The other end is rectangular (wider than the rest of the plate) and is broken across one or two circular holes. The front is decorated with incised lines along both prongs of the triangular area, which cross at the point of the triangle in the middle of the plate. The rectangular area has a similar line along the surviving edge. The surviving side of the rectangular area steps down in thickness forming a flange at the side. The whole object is slightly curved along its length. The reverse is flat and plain. The object is 41.0mm long, 25.5mm wide, 4.6mm thick and weighs 12.22g. The substantial nature of the object suggests a functional object which is quite study, such as a harness fitting. There is no evidnece of attachments. The curve could also work as part of the middle of a tankard handle. No close parallel has been identified yet, but the style of the incised line decoration is similar to YORYM-E7DE0F, an Iron Age tankard handle. A later date cannot be ruled out.

The complete disc would have been pierced by about 64 holes. Two blocked with decayed iron lie near the edge one quarter of the circumference apart, but the locations of an evenly spaced third and fourth are missing. These suggest the object was fixed to something circular such as a pipe or hose. Many similar but very much larger objects are certainly skimmers.

OXON-671B24: BROOCH
A fragment from a Roman cast copper alloy Hod Hill Brooch dating to the period c. AD 40 - 60. Only the head and part of the bow survive. The head of the brooch projects backwards in a sub-rectangular plate which has been rolled forwards around a (possibly copper alloy) axis bar. The head survives to a width of 12.4mm and is 2.6mm thick where it contains the axis bar. A slot has subsequently been cut into the reverse of the head to accommodate the pin which is missing. The bow first projects from the wings with a width of 6.7mm and then narrows to 6.3mm before ending in a transverse break. It is slightly arched in profile close to the head. The bow is rectangular in cross section and decorated with three raised ridges, one on each edge and another in the centre which is higher. The brooch is a medium green colour. The brooch is 16.9mm long, 12.4mm wide, 2.7mm thick in profile and weighs 0.88 grams. Hattat illustrates several similar brooches defined as Hod Hill types dating from c.AD 43-75 (Hattat 2000: 320) while the form and decoration on matches Hod Hill type brooches as defined by Bayely & Butcher (2004, pg. 74-77, Fig 55, nos. 115) as Group b; Mackreth (2011: 94, Plate 91, nos 8831 and 8967). Each of these sources suggests a date of c.AD 43-75.

OXON-67141E: BROOCH
An incomplete Iron Age La Tène III Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the period c.25 BC- AD 100. The brooch is almost complete only missing part of its pin. At the top of the bow is the head of the brooch. The head is made of three coils, one to the left of the bow, two to the right. The first coil to the left of the pin and bow is a direct continuation of the bow. From this coil, the curves underneath the bottom of the bow before folding back up to curve into the coil on the right end of of the head and then the final coil to the right of the bow. This final coil begins a fourth coil before ending in a break. It would have become a pin after this final turn. From the head of the brooch the bow expands horizontally into a flat, rectangular cross sectioned plate that is0.7mm thick. It widens gradually to 6.1mm wide two thirds of the way down its length before narrowing over the final third to a plain rounded foot (0.5mm wide). A flat catchplate projects from the back of the foot. This is trapezoidal with a ragged outed edge that is folded over 180 degrees to form a rest for the pin. The front of the bow is decorated by two shallow parallel grooves giving the impression of three ribs, one running down each edge flanking a central ridge. The brooch is a a light green colour. The brooch is 37.4mm long, 11.1mm wide, 4.3mm thick and weighs 1.38 grams. Similar brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000, 290, fig. 149) which are termed as La Tène III brooches. Bayley and Butcher (2004: 53-54) use the same terminology and suggest while its origins lie in the Iron Age they are more prevalent in the Roman period (ibid 147).Mackreth also illustrates similar examples (Mackreth 2011, Plates 7-8, particularly Nos. 4066 and 4134. He terms these Nauheim Derivative types which he suggests date to the first centuries BC and AD (Mackreth 2011, 13-14). Sophie Adams has classified these as Nauheim Derivative dating to 10-100 AD. She suggests those with stamped decoration are particularly associated with the Antrebatic area.

CORN-65C103: BUCKLE
An incomplete, two-piece, cast, copper-alloy, double looped or spectacle buckle of probable Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1660-1720). This buckle consists of two pieces: the frame and an attached plate. The frame is sub-rectangular with rounded corners and features a moulded knop at either end of the narrowed strap bar. The plate consists of a sheet of copper-alloy metal folded in the centre around the strap bar, with a sub-rectangular slot cut out to accommodate the pin. The plate is sub-rectangular in plan and terminates in a rounded end featuring a rivet hole which would have allowed for a stud for attachment onto a leather strap. The buckle pin is missing but was probably made of iron as evidenced by the presence of iron corrosion on the plate. The buckle and plate is black-brown in colour, which may suggest that the metal is possibly tinned. Measurements: Length, 27.04mm; Width, 17.83mm; Thickness, 4.57mm; Weight, 3.45g.

SUSS-649F13: BUCKLE
A fragment of a medieval cast copper alloy single loop sub-triangular buckle dating c.1250-1400. The object is composed of a sub-triangular fragment of the outside edge of the frame. The surviving interior edge of the frame is slightly concave. The opposing long sides of the triangular fragment are straight, terminating in a pair of protruding rounded knops at apex, sitting either side of a convex rounded edge. One of the knops only partially survives. From the center of this edge between the knops, to the interior edge of the frame runs a shallow groove that separates the plate into two triangular halves. This also functions as a pin rest. Each half of the upper surface of the plate is decorated with very fine incised oblique grooves forming double lined triangular borders adjacent to the plate edge. On the interior right angle of each triangle, adjacent to the pin rest, is a curved double lined arc connecting both shorter sides of the respective triangles. The reverse of the plate is undecorated. The object is worn, with a green patina. Dimensions: length: 35.02mm, width: 18.02mm, thickness: 2.57mm, weight: 4.84g Similar forms of buckle with narrowed and offset strapbars can be seen illustrated in Whitehead (2016), pp24 no.109, 112.

Similar example is illustrated in Whitehead p.76, no.472 and is dated to circa AD 1500 - 1630. Dimensions: length: 47.12mm; width: 34.16mm; thickness of the frame: 3.67mm; weight: 8.59g

LON-6247CF: THIMBLE
A Medieval copper alloy sewing ring, dating to the 15th century. The object is formed of a cast cylindrical tube of copper alloy which tapers from one open end to the other. There are circular drilled indentations in three bands around the body of the thimble. The metal has a mid-brown to bronze patina. Casting occurred from the 14th century to AD 1530, when cast thimbles ceased in Nuremberg (Homes, 1988:1). Although casting began again in the 17th century, the thickness of this thimble would suggest that it was an earlier form. Similarly, the regular pattern of the indentations would put this thimble to the later part of the early casting phase, making the 15th century a likely date. Dimensions: diameter: 20.27mm; height: 10.15mm; weight: 5.32g. Similar sewing rings on the database are LON-75F8E7 and LON-DD0938. Reference: Holmes, E. 1988. Sewing Thimbles. Datasheet 9.

WILT-3FCEC6: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy and enamel Roman (but possibly British made) plate brooch, dating to c AD 150 - 300. It is missing its pin. It is circular with two concentric zones, each with an outer margin, and with a raised feature at the centre which may not be integral. This is a trumpet shape with flared, circular top which has chamfered edges. It is uncertain whether or not the slightly concave cell at the apex held a stone on what is now a roughened grey surface. The zone around the base of the cone is a crumbling, and partly missing, very dark blue, apparently set upon a similar grey surface. Around the outside of this zone is a slightly raised, flat top ridge, and beyond that an outer zone filled with a design apparently in enamel. The outer zone is divided into nine panels or cells by, in each case, three very fine transverse lines in black or similar dark colour, enclosing a field of what might have been red, each panel containing a group of four black squares each joined with the next at an outer corner, forming a voided cross. Around the outside edge of the plate is a border with cable or notched pattern.The underside is flat with a catchplate still in place at one edge with a globular mass of iron corrosion indicating a lug for a pin, at the other. There is a small nick in the circumference of the plate but it is uncertain whether or not this was the base of any extension to the plate. A small circular mark on the centre of the underside suggests the cone shape extension may have been separate to the plate. Dimensions: 30.8mm in diameter; 8.5mm thick; 9.11g in weight cf Hattatt 1989 p344 fig203 no1039, although that example includes a loop on the edge.

NMS-3D2B88: HARNESS MOUNT
Post-medieval copper alloy asymmetrical harness mount with two integral attachment spikes on the reverse and white-metal coating on the slightly convex front. The form is close to that of SUR-8480B6. A crude and discontinuous groove along the centre of the front is probably damage rather than a clumsy attempt at decoration. Weight 1.35g. Length 25.7mm. Width 7mm. 17th century.

KENT-2C7F41: TOKEN
A complete Post-Medieval copper-alloy 17th-century trade token farthing, issued by James Wolball, of Maidstone in Kent, in 1664. Description: The token is very worn and much of the design and lettering has been lost. It has a mottled reddish brown patina. Obverse: Little of the central design (Grocers' Arms) remains beyond the outline of the shield. The legend reads : [JAMES . W]OLBOLL Reverse: I . W surrounded by legend [OF .] M[AYDSTONE.1664] . IW is just legible Measurements: Diameter: 14.5 mm; Weight: 0.36 g Discussion: Williamson Kent 399 with variant spelling (Wolboll). A slightly better preserved example of this token can be found at LON-884542.

KENT-2B0D19: BRIDLE BIT
An incomplete cast copper-alloy bit link of Early Medieval date (c. AD 1000-1150). Description: The object consists of one complete terminal loop with three rounded knops attached to a central bar with a rounded boss. Springing from the boss is the remnant of the second oval boss. The object is plano convex in section. It has a reddish brown patination with green patches. Measurement: 49.8 mm long, 27.8 mm wide (at the loop, 10 mm at the boss), 8.3 mm at thickest and 18.7 g in weight. Discussion: Williams (2007, p1) identifies this particular type of link as a bit link. These were attached to the ends of the iron bit and secured the reins. More generally, he identifies these harness links as Anglo-Scandinavian in origin and deriving from the Viking Ringerike style, as seen on examples where the boss is a distinct animal mask. Williams suggests an 11th century date but indicates they may have had a longer life in England. Cf. Williams (Ibid), p. 3. Similar PAS records at: NMS-A7DD95 and LVPL-57D0AC.

OXON-2ABBB6: BUCKLE
A near complete cast copper alloy Post Medieval buckle with iron pin which is missing its point dating to c, AD1500-1650 The buckle frame is sub-rectangular in plan with a slightly narrowed axis bar. The corners at its ends are expanded into slightly knos which the edges of the frame extending from the axis bar are slightly concave in plan and D-shaped in cross section. The outer edge of the frame is rounded in two humps with a raised moulding formed of two transverse floral ridges at their centre forming a rest for the now broken pin. The outer surface of the frame has moulded floral decoration. Part of an iron pin wraps aroudn the axis bar which is corroded. The buckle is 36.3mm long, 34.8mm wide, 8.5mm thick including the pin and weighs 7.68 grams. Very similarly formed buckles are illustrated by Whitehead (2003: 29) which are suggested to date to c. AD 1500-1650. Similar examples on the database include LVPL-16DA7D, WAW-770DC0 and in particular SUR-0EC633.

OXON-2A79C0: MOUNT
A very worn possibly Roman pelta shaped mount. The mount is sub-rectangular in cross section and in the shape of a pelta with abraded surfaces and no clear signs of breaks. It is a mottled green colour. It is 26.4mm longm, 14.2mm wide, 3.9mm thick and weighs 4.49 grams. Similarly formed examples to this item tend to be Roman mounts such as SUR-E56164, WILT-D86F3B and NARC-7034EB although this is a rather thick example. Other object may also take similar shapes such as CORN-1758E2 such that another purpose cannot be excluded.

WILT-29B2C5: FURNITURE FITTING
A Post Medieval to Modern cast copper alloy probable furniture fitting, or finial, possibly ethographic, dating to c. AD 1700-1900. The object is in excellent condition, and complete. It neatly divides into two distinct parts, the upper half is openwork around a central rod and four arches decorated with a floral design which finishes with a floral knop. The lower half is solid and also heavily decorated, centred by a human face with lentoid eyes and full lips, and large ears with earrings. The figure is seated, decorated front and back with oval shapes. The object terminates with a screw fitting. It would seem that the object was intended to be easily removed perhaps for cleaning. Measurements: height 78.9mm, maximum width 34.9mm, weight 58.10g. The screw thread suggests this is a modern object and the figure may be ethnographic.

OXON-294292: BROOCH
A fragment from a Roman copper alloy hinged Hod Hill category brooch dating to the period c. AD 43 - 75. The brooch is missing part of its head, its entire pin and the lower half of the bow. The head of the brooch projects backwards from the bow in a trapezoidal plate, it being 13.6mm wide at the bow. The terminal is corroded and is missing the section which would have rolled over itself to form a copper alloy tube however the rectangular slot cut to allow the a pin to move freely remains. Iron corrosion product remains in the cut suggesting an Iron pin. The bow is very shallow D shaped in cross section, almost flat, with a convex front and flat back and is slightly curved in profile. It has an irregular shape with a pair of raised horizontal ridges creating a double collar after which it flares out to form two wings which then narrow again before reaching an irregular break creating a diamond shape. This section of the bow is decorated with three vertical raised ribs separated by U-shaped channels spread across the surviving width of the bow. The reverse is plain. The brooch has a light green patina. The brooch is 28mm long, 13.6mm wide (at the end of the bow's wings), c.2mm thick in profile and weighs 2.86 grams. There is not an exact parrallel but Hattat illustrates a range of similar brooches which he defines as Hod Hill type dating from c.AD 43-75 (Hattat 2000; p.322-323). . Similar examples are illustrated by Mackreth (2011: Plate 93-4) which he defines as his class 4. The distinguishing features to the different subgroups include the number of ribs and the moulding of the lower bow which is missing from this example. Examples of Hod Hill brooches on the database found in Oxfordshire which have similar but not identical features of this type include OXON-F68E5C and OXON-D8862D

ESS-293769: EAR RING
A complete cast copper alloy probable earring (Allason-Jones Type 1) of probable Roman date (AD 43-410). Description: This object was originally circular but is now bent out of shape and forms an irregular hoop which has an oval cross-section. The ring is thicker in the middle and tapers towards the terminals which end in blunt points, the metal is dark green in colour. Measurements: Height: 33mm, Width: 24mm, Thickness: 4mm (max.), Weight: 9.4g Discussion: Objects of this shape are quite common finds from Roman contexts and are usually interpreted as earrings (Allason-Jones "Ear-Rings in Roman Britain", this is interpreted as Type 1 common from 1st to the 4th century). Similar objects have, however, also been found from later, Early Medieval contexts, where they are interpreted as finger rings or earrings (Rogers "Anglian and other finds from Fishergate" pages 1370-1371, inc. fig 668, artefacts 5411-5413). Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: NARC-59F6A2, BH-C4E24D, WMID-782030, DENO-059DD1, SWYOR-453373, SUSS-0BA444, KENT-2F22EA, BERK-C462F1 and LIN-9E3535.

WMID-28D24B: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy rectangular buckle frame of Post Medieval dating (AD 1720 to AD 1790s). Less than 25% of the buckle frame is present, consisting of part of the buckle frame. Moulded scrolled floral ornamentation are present on either side of the spindle hole. The frame has been drilled for a separate spindle. It measures 16.0 mm in length, 6.1 mm wide and 4.4 mm thick. It weighs 1.4 g. Similar buckle frames have been published in Whitehead 2003, p106, no 678.

WMID-28C25B: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy double looped buckle frame with drilled hole for a separate spindle, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1660 to AD 1720). Around 75% of the buckle frame is present, consisting of a complete frame but the spindle and chape are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The buckle frame is double looped, and rectangular in shape. It has a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame has rounded ends with two moulded grooves. There are reaised moulded scrolls each side of the spindle. The buckle frame measures 34.4 mm in length, 22.8 mm wide and 4.0 mm thick. It weighs 7.9 g.

WMID-28AA61: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy two piece buckle from of the Post Medieval period, dating from AD 1690 - AD 1720. Less than 25% of the buckle frame is present, consisting of one corner of the frame. It is rectangular in shape, with an ornate frame. It has scrolled knops on the outer edge and external corners. There are iron residues over the spindle hold. The buckle frame measures 27.5 mm in length and is 25.3 mm wide. It has a thickness of 4.7 mm and weighs 4.9 g. The buckle is a mid green in colour with some red colouring denoting Iron corrosion in the centre. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Another similar example of this type of buckle has been recorded in Whitehead (1996), page 100, No 638. Also see WMID-E927FB. Ref: Whitehead, R. (1996). 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', Greenlight Publishing.

OXON-281651: BROOCH
A bow fragment from an unidentified copper alloy Roman brooch possibly dating to the period c. AD 75-200. The brooch is missing most of its bow, its head,wings, pin and catchplate. The rectangular fragment of the bow extends from an old break, and tapers to a blunt ended foot knop. The front of the bow is decorated by a central vertically aligned rectangular cell, followed by two horizontal incised lines. The reverse is undecorated and there is a slight worn ridge where the catchplate would have been, The metal has a dark green patina and survives in poor condition. The bow is 25.2mm long, 7.8mm wide at the top break, 2.7mm at the foot, 2.8mm thick and weighs 2.5g. The classification of this brooch is not clear due to the lack of diagnostic features. The decoration on the front of the bow suggests that the brooch may have had an enamel inlay similar to T shaped and headstud brooches dating from the end of the 1st century AD. Hattatt 2000 page 303 has examples of brooches with rectangular casting for enamel.

NMS-2814AB: BUCKLE

OXON-279BF8: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman Headstud brooch dating from AD 75-200. The brooch is missing its pin, one wing, most of the bow, its foot and catch plate. The head of the brooch survives to a width of 14.2mm. The surviving wings are oval and pierced by a cylindrical hole down their width. A further lateral slot has been cut into the back of the wings to allow a pin to articulate around a copper alloy axis bar running through the cylindrical hole. The pin is missing and the cylindrical hole is now filled with soil. One wing is partly missing, the other wing has two parallel incised lines creating a stepped appearance. In the centre of the original head of the brooch is a semicircular break which might have formed the attachment point for a loop or an attachment plate which is broken almost immediately. Beneath this on the front of the bow of the brooch is a raised oval shaped stud after which the bow of the brooch is broken. The bow projects from the head of the brooch with a width of 8.4mm. It is sub-oval in cross section being wider than it is thick. It narrows down its length to c.6.7mm ending in an irregular break. The brooch is a medium brown colour with patches of green on the front within the stud and across breaks on the head. The brooch is 14.3mm long, 14.2mm wide at the wings, 4.4mm thick in profile and weighs 2.6 grams. Headstud brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000 332, fig. 191 No.36) which suggests a 2nd century date. (Mackreth 2011: 75, Pl. 72) illustrates a number of more complete Headstud brooches which he dates from the end of the 1st century AD. Examples of more complete Headstud brooches found in Oxfordshire on the database include OXON-93AC13, OXON-D429BE and OXON-590815.

A complete cast copper alloy toggle of probable Roman to Post-medieval date (circa AD 43-1700) The object is formed of a round bi-convex stud, which rises into a thick cylindrical stalk, upon which is placed a flattened circular plate. It is a mint green patena with slight black corrosion spotting on both sides of the base. The colour of the patena could indicate that the toggle dates to the Roman era however the shape shows greater similarities to other toggles of the Post-medieval era as shown in DEV-8261B6. Measurements: Plate diameter, 14.31mm; Plate thickness, 2.62mm; Stud diameter, 7.38mm; Stud thickness, ranges from 4.47mm-2.93mm; Stalk length, 7.27mm; Stalk thickness, ranges from 4.43mm-3.42mm; Weight: 4.25g. Objects of this type are difficult to date out of context. Notes: Although the majority of the toggles recorded on the PAS database are dated to the Iron Age or Roman periods there are other examples recorded as Post-medieval.

NMS-271DD5: HARNESS PENDANT
Incomplete, distorted and abraded medieval copper alloy harness pendant, an octofoil with a quatrefoil-, cruciform- or saltire-headed riveted stud in the centre. The surface has been lost to erosion and no trace of metal coating or surface decoration has survived. When fresh this may have been an impressively original object. Weight 5.00g. Height c.48mm. Width c.40mm. 12th century.

GLO-26FD51: BUTTON
A post-Medieval lead one-piece button (1500-1700). The domed-head is circular in plan and the back is flat with an integral attachment loop that is now squished. The front is decorated with a central roundel that is surrounded by radiating lines.

GLO-26DCB6: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative, possible double pierced lug, Harlow type brooch dating to 43-100 AD. There is the remains of a pieced lug on the rear of the head which would have mounted the spring and external cord, both of which are missing. The wings have a convex face with a recessed triangular cell. vertical band at the tip. The bow is undecorated with a series of triangular cells all of which would have probably contained enamel. The lower part of the bow is truncated resulting in the loss of the catchpate.

OXON-26C3E3: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative, Polden Hill brooch, probably dating to c. AD 75-175. Part of the bow, the catchplate and the spring are missing. The wings survives to a width of 20.8mm and are crescent shaped with a convex front and concave reverse leaving a C-shaped recess for the spring to sit within. Each wing has incised decoration consisting of an incised line next to each terminal end. The remains of a hook projects from the back of midpoint the wings along the top edge. The bow projects from the front of the wings with a width of 10.6mm. It then narrows gradually down its length to an ancient break. The bow has a D-shaped cross section with a convex front and flat reverse. The front of the bow has moulded and incised decoration. Running down the centre of the bow are two parallel incised lines creating a central ridge which has a slightly beaded appearance. The brooch has a medium green patina. The brooch is 22.4 mm long, 20.8mm wide, 4.4mm thick in profile and weighs 6.9 grams Bayley & Butcher (2004: 159) note that the method of pin attachment seen on this example is characteristic of Polden Hill brooches. Similar examples are illustrated by Hattat (2000: 300, no.897) described as Polden Hill brooches brooches dating to the 1st century AD. Within MacKreth’s (2011) corpus it is most similar to No. 1882 (MacKreth 2011: pl 46) which he classifies as a type 4.a Similar examples can be seen on the database including OXON-592E9D, OXON-090B45 and OXON-02B6A2

NMS-26B813: STRAP END
Fragment of a medieval copper alloy composite tongue-shaped strap-end: an incomplete and badly distorted outer plate or full-width spacer with both edges missing and a pair of lateral cut-outs just above a narrowing towards the absent knop Weight 3.62g. Length c.44mm. Width 21.3mm. 14th century.

NMS-26955C: STRAP END
Incomplete medieval copper alloy composite tongue-shaped strap-end: a full-width spacer with a trefoil knop between the remains of two sheet plates, the three parts secured by a rivet above the knop. Weight 2.80g. Length (i.e. that of the spacer) 38.2mm. Width 10.1mm. 14th century.

OXON-263BF3: BROOCH
An incomplete roman Colchester one piece brooch dating to the period c. -25BC -AD 60. The brooch is missing its pin and part of the wings. The bow of the brooch is slightly twisted at the point where it joins the catch plate. The head of the brooch has a number of breaks, the hook, the coils of the pin and the pin are missing. The left wing narrows down to blunt point. On the reverse of the head there is the remains of a short projecting point. The surface of the brooch is badly corroded making it difficult to identify any decoration. The catchplate is triangular in shape and solid and plain without piercings. This brooch has a light green patina. The bow of the brooch is 26mm long, the width of the head and the remaining wing measures 10.7mm and the width across the head before the wing is 6.34mm and here it is 4.3mm thick. The brooch weighs 3.42 grams. An example of this simple form of early brooch can be seen in (Hattatt 2007) on page 296 number 14. Originally this brooch would have included a bilateral spring with the chord being held by a forward facing hook. Mackreth (2011 p. 36) indicates that the subdivision of this category into five major groups is determined by the catchplate and whether or not it is pierced. The plain unpierced nature of this catchplate would put it into subgroup d. Similar examples on the database include OXON-186891, OXON-374851 and OXON-1E5851

SUR-25CE5A: STRAP FITTING
A post-Medieval copper-alloy openwork and hooked strap fitting with an openwork trefoil-shaped plate with two circular apertures at rear edge, a central lozenge-shaped aperture and rivet holes at the rear terminal and at the hook collar. The surface has traces of tinning.

NMS-171A7E: FURNITURE FITTING
Incomplete copper-alloy probable Roman furniture fitting. It is circular in cross-section throughout and has a head or knob which is somewhere between hemispherical and conical with a circular hole at the apex, now filled with hardened earth. Behind this, after a narrow circumferential groove or waist, the object expands into a disc-like collar, moderately larger in diameter than the head. From here it extends a short distance rearward, tapering in diameter concavely and then terminating in an irregularly-shaped worn break. There is a circular opening at this end, larger than the hole in the head, into which a shank may have been inserted to fix it to the furniture. The interior is of uniform diameter and extends a short distance into the base of the head. Externally, the sides of the concavely tapering rear end are marked with superficial circumferential grooves, perhaps caused by a file or lathe. Mid-1st to early 5th century A.D. Length: 12.0mm. Diameter (at collar): 10.9, (head): 8.6mm. Weight: 3.2g

NMS-16B569: FURNITURE FITTING
Roman copper-alloy furniture fitting. It is conical in the main, with an integral dished disc projecting from the apex and the corroded remains of an iron shank protruding from the flat base. The sides of the conical part are covered with multiple circumferential grooves and ridges. These seem to run broadly parallel with each other and not in a spiral, but some ridges occasionally split in two and later reconverge. The copper-alloy is patinated dark green and the iron dark brown and reddish-brown. Very similar to NMS-DD8ED1. 1st to early 5th century A.D. Length (excluding shank and iron corrosion) 10.0mm. Diameter (base of cone): 11.7mm, (dished part): 9.8mm. Weight: 4.7g

NMS-16599D: BROOCH
Single wing of a Roman copper-alloy Colchester derivative hinged brooch, probably of Mackreth’s (2011) sub-type CD H 3. It is tubular, near circular in cross-section with a flattened longitudinal facet at the rear and a single arris between this and the remaining convex surface. There is no seam, and the end or tip of the wing is sealed and flat. From here to the opposite end it expands very slightly in diameter, opening out into the head of the bow and promptly terminating in a worn break. Viewed from this end it can be seen to be filled with dark brown iron corrosion products. An orange spot on the surface may represent a the tip of the axis bar. The wing is decorated at the end (tip) with bead-and-reel moulding: one reel between two beads. The beads bear multiple closely-spaced transverse grooves throughout. This moulding extends around the top, front and underside of the wing, leaving the reverse undecorated. Mid-1st to early 2nd century. Length: 19.6mm.

NMS-164C2E: BROOCH
Fragment of an Early Anglo-Saxon copper alloy Cruciform brooch of Martin 2015 Group 2 or 3, an incomplete headplate and the upper part of the bow only, with breaks both old and recent. Both sides of the headplate are missing but enough survives of the upper edge to show that there was neither an integrally cast top knob nor a spike for a tabbed knob. A central panel is defined on either side by three closely spaced vertical grooves flanked by rows of dot-in-half-annulet impressions. On a rectanguar panel at the top of the bow there are five transverse grooves, some shallower and less straight engrved lines and a pair of edge notches. The hollow-backed bow is deocrated with a median pair of grooves. There is a single pin lug on the reverse. Weight 11.49g. Extant length and width 38.2 and 28.9mm. AD c.475 - c.550.

GLO-15EA2B: BUCKLE
Copper alloy annular double looped buckle with a beveled outer edge. Narrowed strap bar in the centre dividing the annular in half and creating two equally sized loops. The date of this artefact is 1370-1500. ​

GLO-15D9F5: SWORD BELT
Copper alloy hooked strap fitting/sword belt fitting. The plate is triangular in plan with a concave underside. The top edge has a V-shape notch in the centre, the side taped down to the penannular rolled hook that holds a loop. There are two rivet holes on the plate. Two close parallels for this object are noted in Margeson 1993 'Norwich Households: Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78'. 38, refs: 257-258. These objects are dated to the 16th or 17th centuries and Margeson notes that they were probably associated with sword belts or similar hooked mounts. Margeson, S. 1993.

GLO-15C974: PURSE
Copper alloy purse bar that consists of two circular cross-section arms that flank a sub oval central block hub. The block hub has a hole that passed through the middle that would have mounted a large loop on a spindle, but this is now missing. The face of the hub is decorated with one side, are three lines that cross at a central pint forming a six-pointed star. On the opposite is one upright and the crossbar of a possible N, each bar is formed from a double line. This decoration is former from grooves that are inlayed with silver.

NMS-1449BB: MOUNT
Fragment of a medieval gilded copper-alloy horse harness mount. It appears to have been once flat, now slightly bent, and circular. About forty per cent of the original circular edge is extant. The other two edges are worn breaks: one is quite jagged and truncates a small circular hole at the original centre. The front face bears part of a shallow flat circular depression, concentric with the central hole and the outer edge. There is another hole of similar size at the perimeter of this and a further four, arranged in two pairs, close to and parallel to the outer edge. The pairs are separated by about one hundred degrees. The surface of the metal on the front has a texture that hints at a moulded design in very low relief: there are some beads that seem to travel in straight and curved lines. However, this is not at all certain, and may simply be a result of surface deterioration. The surviving fragments of gilding on the other hand are quite obvious. The reverse is clearly undecorated and ungilded. Probably 13th to 14th century. Length: 38.3mm Width: 23.9mm. Thickness: 1.6mm. Original diameter (estimated): 43mm. Weight: 4.4g

NARC-1443D9: WEIGHT

The weight is discoidal with a raised rim, which has small portions missing. The weight has stamped marks of a crowned I (for James I-II) at 12 O’clock. St Pauls sword London mark at 6 O’clock. However the laver or coffee pot, the inspection mark of the Worshipful Company of Founders, who controlled the lawful making of brass weights in London and for three miles around (Withers and Withers 2011, page 78) is not legible. The upper surface has one visible circle within the inner portion. The lower surface has a central circular void. Diameter: 22.57mm, Thickness: 5.50mm, Weight: 11.8g The metal is dark green in colour with a pitted patina.
