Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A incomplete and worn copper-alloy finger ring of uncertain date. The ring is distorted spiral made of an oval sectioned strip creating one loop with over lapping ends. Such a simple object form is hard to date precisely and possible parallels include objects from Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and Early Medieval excavations or it may even be a more recent functional item. It has therefor been recroded as an object of unknown date. Diameter external: 24 mm. Diameter internal: 20 mm. Weight: 3.7 gms.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete discoidal amber bead of uncertain date, probably dating from the Middle Bronze Age to Roman periods (c. 1500 BC-AD 410). They are most common to prehistoric assemblages in Southeastern England, most notably those of the Middle Bronze Age (cf. Treasure case 2011 T192). The remains of the bead consists of a 6.8 mm thick discoidal ring, with a central circular drilled hole. A portion of the outer edge of the bead has suffered damage, probably post-depositional in nature. The bead is of an even amber orange colour, with a matt surface to unbroken surfaces and a high glossy s…
