Object type: SPOON
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete early post-medieval lead-alloy spoon (c. 16th century, probably later 16th). The spoon has a pointed oval shaped bowl and a hexagonal stem; the stem terminates in a 'seal top' knop. It is now damaged, and bent, with repairs by the finder, including a sleeve that holds together the broken stem, and glue reattaching two parts of the bowl that had become separated.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Iron Age La Tène III type/ Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the period c. AD 10-100 (Plouviez period E). While much of the brooch survives, the integral pin is missing, as is the catch-plate.
At the top of the bow is the head of the brooch. The head was probably made of four coils of circular cross-section, two either side of the bow, but the internal coil that would have developed into the bow has been lost to an old break. The coils on the other side of the bow may have been squashed flat. When viewed head uppermost, the first coil to the left of the pin and …

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy uniface trade weight dating to the post-medieval period (early-mid 19th century).
The object is circular with a recessed upper surface within a prominently raised lip/rim. The reverse also has a small recessed area at its centre around a centring pit. Incised concentric circles around this presumably result from the turning process. The upper surface also has a central pit within a slightly raised border. This is surrounded by a pair of engraved concentric circles, with a further trio of circles between the last and the bevelling from the lip/rim. The lip/rim is it…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The abraded, and slightly bent, terminal of a post-medieval cast lead-alloy (pewter) spoon handle of late 17th-century date. Only this element of the flat handle remains; the rest is lost to an old break, while its own terminal is unclear due to abrasions. It is broadly trapezoidal, tapering from an expanded terminal. On the front it is decorated with a raised cast floral design: a flower, possibly a tulip, with large head and leaves emerging from a central stalk; any design below the ground on which this sits is unclear. The reverse bears initials P . L in low relief.

A copper-alloy vessel rim fragment of late medieval to early post-medieval dating (c. AD 1400-1700).
The rim fragment is irregular, broadly sub-triangular, in plan, with a cross section which has a slightly thickened upper lip section and thins as it travels down. The rim type consists of an internally rounded lip which would arguably have sat flat. The exterior and interior surfaces are unpolished and rough. The fragment is a dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. There are possible traces of sooting below the internal under-hang of the r…
