Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead spindle whorl, a very slightly tapering cylinder with rounded edges. It is 24 mm in diameter at the base and 23 mm in diameter at the top, and 17 mm tall. In the centre is a circular perforation which tapers from 9 mm in diameter at the base to 8 mm at the top.

Record ID: SF9097
Object type: WEIGHT
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Tall lead weight, now a little damaged. The base is rectangular, measuring perhaps 12 x 17 mm, and has a damaged downwards projection forming a foot at each corner. In between, the base is slightly hollowed and has a dot at the centre. There are two large flat rectangular sides and two narrower triangular sides, rising to a ridge at the top; there is no suspension loop. It weighs 34.30g (1.21 oz), which is obviously not a round figure in the medieval and post-medieval avoirdupois system, so its date and function should remain tentative.

Record ID: SF9098
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Octagonally facetted conical lead weight, 13.5 mm in diameter at the base and 19 mm tall. Very carefully made, with a small hole running up from a depression in the base to emerge at the top. It weighs 14.36g (0.50 oz), and must have lost some weight through oxidation, so that if it was made as a half-ounce avoirdupois trade weight it would originally have been slightly over-weight (to the disadvantage of the trader). Probably medieval.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Large cast copper-alloy leg from a vessel. In cross-section it is triangular with rounded sides and corners, and it tapers slightly from one end to the other. The wider end has a deep U cut out of the end, and the narrower end has a swollen and crudely rounded end. Both ends are rough and full of casting flaws and holes.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Long narrow sub-triangular part-polished flint axehead. It is polished all over except for the larger flake scars along the edges. The blade is 41 mm wide and the axe then tapers, with straight sides, to a very narrow butt just 8 mm wide. The axe is complete, apart from two largish (recent?) chips to the blade and one from each edge; there are also two linear scrapes, both brown so perhaps from corroded iron, on one face. The flint is a blotchy pale/medium grey, appearing to be more pale brown where chipped.

Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Published
Flat cross-shaped pendant made from copper alloy and now rather corroded. Each arm of the cross flares from the centre; the centre is decorated with a single ring-and-dot motif. One of the side arms is shorter than the other, but both are identically shaped with the outer edge incurved. The lower arm is the longest, and has a straight-cut outer edge. The upper arm ends in a suspension loop which is turned at right angles to the plane of the cross, reminiscent of loops on medieval horse-harness pendants. This pendant is extremely hard to date, and the ring-and-dot decoration gives …

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Loop and part of socket from a large bronze socketed axe. It has a broad single mouth moulding above a large, broad loop which is blocked by a casting flaw. In places, espectially the outer face, the surface is chipped and pitted due to invasive corrosion. All edges are badly corroded and worn. Patinated dark green with variations of paler green due to corrosion. The axe, although incomplete, is larger than average and may be relatively late, i.e. transitional LBA 3/4 or LBA 4 (perhaps a Sompting-related form). The surviving length is 42 mm, the width across the face with the loop…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object. Made from lead, it is roughly circular but all its edges may be broken. It is slightly dished, and on the convex face is a raised circle 13 mm in diameter in which is a relief mark, perhaps a W with a horizontal line through it, or perhaps a pair of Xs. On the concave face, opposite the mark, is a sunken square measuring 3 x 5 mm. It has been suggested that this might be the base of a pewter vessel, and Roman, but no parallel has been found.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of an early post-medieval cast copper-alloy toggle-clasp: the toggle-end dating to c. 16th - c.17th century AD. The fragment consists of a raised and protruding toggle bar at one end, at the end of a plate decorated with symmetrically cast bifurcated knops on both sides of a small circular rivet hole, through which the object has broken. The toggle bar is a lunate bar mount, seemingly integral. A similar example can be found illustrated in Read (2008, 209; ref. 754). Read has identified this type as an 'Early post-medieval, Type 1' toggle-clasp, although he mentions th…

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy mount. It is basically almost circular, 16 x 17 mm, and is plano-convex, with a flat reverse and domed upper surface. Two oval perforations with small stems breaking through the edge turn this into a mushroom- or pelta-shape, the stalk of the mushroom having an expanded base. On the reverse is an integral spike or rivet. The mount itself is 6 mm thick; the rivet increases this to 12 mm. These mounts are not common and it is possible that they are military armour or horse-harness fittings.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
One plate from a strap-end, made from very thin copper alloy. It is of the 'lancet-shaped' late Roman type, with a rounded body and flared attachment end, but is very much more flimsy than most. The attachment end is decoratively cut into a curly bracket shape, and has a single central rivet hole. The body of the strap-end has four rather unevenly placed central ring-and-dot motifs, and tapered to a broken point which probably originally extended into a short terminal. On the reverse are extensive traces of solder, running up to a straight line close to the junction between the att…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy strap-end with relief Borre-style decoration. All the edges are fragmentary, but this type is highly standardised and the original appearance can be reconstructed from parallels. The attachment end is stepped in on the reverse, but flat on the front; it was probably originally straight, with a series of small notches cut into it. One complete central rivet hole can be seen, and it is broken across a rivet hole to either side. There are five ring-and-dot motifs across the attachment end, three cut through by the rivet holes. The body of the strap-end is decorated with an a…

Object type: WEIGHT
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Conical lead weight. The diameter at the base is 28 mm, and there is a hole in the centre which runs 23 mm up into the interior of the weight. The total height of the weight is 46 mm. At the top it flattens as if it may have originally been pierced to provide a suspension loop; there is some dark orange-stained soil in a crevice on the very top which may possibly be from iron corrosion. It weighs 130.4g (4.6 oz) and is very hard to date.

Very worn and corroded lid from a jug. The underside is flat, the upper face slightly convex, with a sloping and tapering projection in the centre, probably to help in lifting the lid. All edges are broken, but an echo of the original trefoil shape (covering both mouth and spout) can be seen. There is a broken stub projecting from the centre of a long edge; this was originally a hinge loop to attach the lid to the jug. There is a good parallel from Colchester (Crummy 1983, no. 2049).
