Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Three fragments of a medieval silver sheet object, possibly a scabbard chape, dating to c. AD 1200-1300. All three are decorated on one face with fields defined by engraved lines and filled with either rocker-arm engraving or niello. The other face is undecorated. The original find was too fragmentary to discern a possible pattern; the addition of two joining pieces show that there appears to be an abstract foliate design. Fragment 1: No original edge, broken across at least one rivet or attachment hole. The fragment is too small to determine what the decoration depi…

Object type: ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic adze rough-out made from a thermally fractured (or "pot lid" fracture) piece of lightly patinated mottled grey flint broken from a larger nodule, two small unretouched areas remain on the ventral face and two small patches of weathered cortex remains on the dorsal face. Both faces are crudely hard hammer struck with some flake scars terminating in hinges. It is unlikely this piece was finished and it appears it was abandoned before completion. 120 x 44 x 25 mm.
