Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a sheet copper alloy, sub-lozenge, mount dating from the 13th-15th century. It was attached by at least two rivets, the remains of which are still in place on opposing points of the lozenge. Two further holes at the remaining two points may have been for further rivets (for which no evidence remains) or attachment holes for pendants. The mount has broken at these holes. The object is severly corroded and little remains of the decoration, although a central raised lozenge-shaped area would have formed part of the relief.

Two small pottery sherds weighing a collective total of 7.27g were examined under a binocular microscope (x12) and analysed in accordance with the guidelines of the Prehistoric Ceramics Research Group (PCRG 1997).

A simple rounded rim form too small to be diagnostic was recovered with a very abraded bodysherd weighing only 1g. The rim fragment has been burnished on both surfaces and varies in colour from reduced grey black…
