1) Two microliths average length 10mm, width 7mm, thickness 2mm. One arise on the dorsal, both examples are missing the bulb from the ventral. One has a creamy patina, the other is a grey flint with darker patches and a patina forming, these artefacts date to the Late Mesolithic. 2) Truncated blade length 14mm, width 11mm, thickness 3mm. Two arises on the dorsal, no bulb on the ventral. This is the medial section, dark brown flint with a lighter patch and a patina forming, this object dates to the Late Mesolithic. 3) Truncated flake length 12mm, width 16mm, thickness 3mm.…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of probable post-medieval date (1600-1750). The buckle frame is incomplete being broken into two parts across one of the loops. This break is relatively fresh and unabraded, probably being caused by movement in the ploughsoil. Originally in plan the buckle would have been sub-oval with a slight central bar to which a pin would have been attached. The pin is present but detached. It is formed from a single length of tapered copper alloy which has been bent around the central axis bar. The upper surface of the pin has been decorated with …

Probable Mid 3rd Century. Pottery flagon sherd. Length 45.8mm, Width 35.1mm, Thickness 17.1mm, Weight 22.3g. This face is moulded and constituted part of the mouth of a flagon (also called a face-neck flagon). Very abraded but the residue of a colour-coat in the vicinity of the eyes and other depressions. Probably from Nene Valley potteries or perhaps from Hadham Kilns. Ref.

This break is relatively fresh and unabraded, probably being caused by movement in the ploughsoil. Originally in plan the buckle would have been sub-rectangular with a slight central bar to which a pin would have been attached. The pin is missing - as is the other half of the frame. There is no evidence for a recessed pin rest on the frame. The frame of the buckle is decorated with a series of repeating floral motifs; …

Object type: LITHIC CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint single-platform microlith blade core, triangular in plan, oval in section and trapezoidal in profile. The core has had blades taken off it on only two thirds of the way around its central axis, with a layer of cortex running from one third of the edge of the platform down to the base of the core. The flint is a translucent brown-grey colour and the curvature of the core suggests that it was made from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is 4:5, which is usual for micro-cores. Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 120, Fig.5.104, No.82, which is dated…

Flint snapped end scraper, semi-circular in plan, triangular in section and in profile. The proximal end and both sides of the dorsal face have been unimarignally retouched. There is also a nick in the right edge of the dorsal face, but this is probably due to damage and not deliberate. The scraper may have been broken through use if enough pressure was applied to shear it off from the other half that was still held in the haft. Alternatively, it may have been broken since being deposited through coming into contact with agricultural machinery. See CORN-2286F2 and CORN-24A3D6 for si…

Flint leaf-shaped arrowhead, lozenge-shaped in plan, profile and triangular in section. The arrowhead has been worked on all margins of the dorsal face, but has been more extensively worked towards the distal end, particularly along the left margin. The proximal end has been waisted to be better used for hafting, and has been broken off above the bulb of percussion, on the ventral face. The flint is a grey brown colour and translucent, and was probably knapped from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 14…

Flint waisted end and side scraper, almost oval in plan, trapezoidal in profile and triangular in section. The distal end and the lateral margins have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off at the base of the bulb of percussion. The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, probably made from a local beach pebble. There is a thin sliver of cortex running from the medial ridge to the left edge of the dorsal face at the distal end, suggesting that the scraper was made from a secondary flake.

Object type: POT SHERD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery rim sherd from a bowl with a 'Cornish flanged' (Quinnell, 2004, p.124) rim. The flange below the rim is rounded and made of an added strip which has been applied to the body of the bowl. The angle of the flange is at about 90 degrees from the rim of the bowl. Above the flange is a recessed groove which helps to define it from the rim. The fabric is is a light orangey brown colour throughout and contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. The exterior surface has been black-coated and then burni…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: IRON AGE

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete wire copper alloy bow brooch with short bilateral spring, coiled into 5 loops on a central, solid copper alloy axial rod, which holds the spring together. The chord seems to be missing but it could only have been attached to one end of the spring as the other end is in the centre, next to the central coil which extends to form part of the bow. The bow is broken and bent at an angle from subsequent damage, so the original curvature cannot be made out. The foot, pin and catchplate are missing. The surface of the brooch is corroded and pitted so that the recorder cannot determi…

Fragment of a glass bowl with an everted folded rim. The bowl was likely shallow with a broad rim. The rim is oval in section and the bowl would have been circular in plan. The glass is a pale greenish grey colour and translucent, with dirt trapped within the folded rim. Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar example from Norwich on page 110, Fig.74, No.710, which is dated to the 17th century.
