Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy casting jet or "gate" of flattened conical form with a prominent flange of sprue running in a line around the edge, with a hooked protrusion to one side. This type of object is the result of casting into a two piece mould and represents waste where molten bronze solidifies at the entrance of the mould around the gate and the casting channel(s). Of uncertain date, potentially Bronze Age to post medieval.

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring of uncertain date. The ring consists of a sub-circular frame with a sub-oval cross section. There are no areas of wear, or signs of decoration. The frame is not well finished, with an irregular casting seam on its exterior edge.
Diameter: 37.1mm; Thickness 3.6mm; Weight 8.55g.
The ring is comparable in size and form to medieval annular buckles, although the lack of evidence for wear relating to a pin leaves this open to debate.

One face is relatively flat while from the other, at each corner, is a sub-rectangular projection, oval in cross-section, the flatest sides facing outwards (and inwards). Two of these (at one short end) appear to project together from an additional sub-rectangular projection at this end. They all extend outwards at a slight angle and have rounded ends, apparently comple…

An unidentified object of possible Late Bronze Age - Roman date (c.1150 BC - AD 410), consisting of an apparently incomplete section of copper alloy wire. One end is narrowed to a roundish point, 1.3mm in diameter. After c.15mm this thickens to 1.4mm and bends (135 degrees) into a shorter section c.10mm long and 1.9mm in diameter. A 90 degree bend extends into a thicker section, 2.6mm, thickening over 48mm to a worn break at the other end. It is max. 3.5mm thick close to this end.
The patina is dark green and smooth, showing a reddish-purple metal beneath where the surface has flaked…

A gold ingot of uncertain date, probably Bronze Age - Medieval, 2000 BC- AD 1100. The object is a sub-cylindrical bar of unshaped gold, tapering slightly in width. One terminal has a rounded 'break' while the other is simply a rounded off point. The gold has some pitting on the outside surface but otherwise no identifiable markings to indicate its age.
Dimensions:
Length: 44.39 mm
Width: 8.48 mm

A copper alloy fragment of an unidentifiable object of an uncertain date. The object is incomplete and has been deliberately broken. The surviving section has been folded in upon itself with two incomplete adjoinging perforations located at the break and the folded edge. The lower section terminated in a bevelled edge. The upper edge is incomplete with a rough edge, at the fold this section is smooth suggesting a deliberate cut before the remainder of the object was broken off.
No decoration is visible on the smooth outer face, internally the object where visble is undecorated a…

A probably complete cast copper-alloy awl of uncertain date. One end of the awl is rectangular in section, tapering to a pointed tip. The opposite end of the awl is cylindrical in form and tapers a little to a straight edge which may be a break. This end of the object looks as if it has a worked edge which may have been hammered to take a wooden handle The entire object measures 59.20mm in length, 5.32mm in width, and weighs 7.63 g.

Thin fragment of gold ingot of probably ancient (more than 300 years old) but otherwise uncertain
Description: The ingot has been hammered relatively thin and has one rounded end. The other, rougher and probably deliberately cut end was likely severed by a blow from a chisel.
Measurements: L.: 17mm W.: 9mm Thickness: 1.8mm Wt.: 2.81g
Discussion: Dr. Richard Hobbs Weston Curator of Roman Britain, Britain, Europe & Prehistory, The British Museum comments that the object likely dates to more than 300 years and contains more than 10% precious metal and therefore likely qualifies …

A cast copper-alloy bead of uncertain date, probably Middle Bronze Age to Late Iron Age (c. 1500 - 50 BC). It is lentoid in section with a large central circular perforation with an inner diameter of 5.1 mm. The surfaces have the remains of a very worn brown-green patina as well as large areas of active copper-alloy corrosion. The patina suggests a Bronze Age date, however without contextual association it is not possible to confidently assign an accurate date.

A cast copper-alloy bead of Bronze Age or later date. It is biconical in form with flattened top and bottom with a large central circular perforation with an inner diameter of 7.2mm. The surfaces have the remains of a very worn dark green patina as well as large areas of active copper-alloy corrosion; one side of the bead has more patina remaining than the other. This bead could be of Bronze Age or later date, with the patina suggesting a Bronze Age date, however without contextual association it is not possible to confidently assign an accurate date.
