WILT-A57C56: PLATE BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman gilded oval plate brooch inset with intaglio of black glass, dating to c. AD 250-300. The incomplete brooch frame has a raised outer border with gilding around those outer edges which are still extant. This border creates a recessed field with incised decoration of V shapes which point towards the central collet. The gilding continues across this field and up the sides of the central collet. This holds a flat, black, glass intaglio. The design on the intaglio depicts a probably male figure advancing left (as seen on the intaglio), the body widens in the groin area and the figure appears to be carrying an object in each hand: a bag like object in his left hand and an uncertain curved object in his right. Possibly Hercules carrying a club. On the reverse of the brooch are the remains of the integrally cast catchplate and single lug. Through the lug is part of an iron coiled spring, held in place by an iron axis bar. Dimensions: length 24.1mm, width 15.7mm and thickness 8.5mm. Weight 4.30g. Ref: Mackreth Vol. I (2011: 161), Plate, Type 3.b1

WILT-86D16D: VESSEL
Rim sherd from a probable medieval vessel, dating to c. AD 1066-1539. The body fabric is a hard pale orange/buff colour, whilst the rim is a pale grey. There are moderate inclusions which are variably sorted. The maximum size of the inclusions is 3mm, but smaller ones are in the majority. The inclusions range from a dark orange colour to a creamy colour and are of flint or limestone and red iron ores. There are four prick marks in the rim which may form part of the decoration. The fragment is 70.1mm in width around the rim, which represents approximately 20% of the original rim. The pale grey of the outer part of the rim shows evidence of the vessel (probably a bowl) having been over/near a fire. Dimensions: Height: 54.5mm; width: 70.1mm; thickness: 25.5mm; weight: 86.45g.

WILT-4228B5: HARNESS PENDANT
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy harness pendant, dating to c. AD 1200-1350. The attached pendant hanger is missing as the suspension loop at the top is now broken, due to an old break. The pendant is at 90 degrees until it meets the decoration, namely a scallop shell, decorated with incised lines and concave in shape. There is a very small amount of gilding left - visible just below the suspension loop. The reverse of the pendant does not appear to have been gilded, Dimensions: 33.2mm in length, 15.5mm maximum width, 2.9mm maximum thickness. Weight: 2.53g. See NMS-E59B00 on the PAS database for a complete example.

WILT-C8D666: COIN
A Roman copper-alloy radiate of Salonina (AD 253-268), joint reign with Valerian I, dating to the period c.AD 253-260 (Reece Period 12). Probably PIETAS AVGG reverse type depicting Pietas standing left sacrificing over an altar and holding box. Mint of Rome. cf. Cunetio no. 654.

WILT-AFCBD9: BRIDLE BIT
An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy bridle bit link, dating to c. AD 1000-1100. The find is composed of a rectangular bar with a D-shaped cross section. It has an oval shaped loop with three integral, evenly spaced moulded knops protruding from the outside edge. The bar terminates in an early break. Dimensions: 28.5mm in length, maximum width 22.8mm and has a maximum thickess of 5.5 mm,. It weighs 6.81 grams. See SUSS-88F959 on the PAS database for similar. The record for this states: 'The bit link was attached to the ends of the iron bit adjacent to the cheek piece with the reins secured to the knobbed terminal. The wear on the oval loop is where it has worn thin where attached to the iron bit. The knobbed terminals are Anglo-Scandinavian; associated with Viking Ringerike style cheekpieces; see Williams (2007, 1); who suggests an 11th-century date but indicates they may have had a longer life in England'.

WILT-9E2FBB: FINGER RING
An incomplete Roman copper alloy gem set finger ring. Guiraud Type 2a, dating to the 1st- early 3rd century AD. The oval amber coloured glass stone has shattered in situ within the bezel (this measures 9.6mm x 12.8mm). The bezel is 3.3mm thick and merges into the hoop with tapering shoulders. Most of the hoop is missing due to old breaks. Dimensions: diameter of hoop:16.1mm, thickness of hoop: 1.6mm. Weight: 2.66g.

WILT-96A270: TWEEZERS
A complete pair of probable Early Medieval copper alloy tweezers, dating to c. AD 400-700. The tweezers are formed from a single sheet of copper alloy sheet which has been bent in half creating a sprung loop at one end. It consists of two arms extending from the loop which gradually flare out from each other. The outer surface is decorated alternately with six sets of incised horizontal lines and five sets of Xs on each arm. Finally both arms have been finished by bending the flared ends over to a 90 degree angle to grasp the desired hair or other similar object. The tweezers are in very good condition and are covered in a green patina. Dimensions: length: 58.1mm, width at widest point (the flares): 19.4mm, thickness: 1.2mm, weight: 6.35g. A similar example is also illustrated in EAA 84, p.122, fig.6, no.51. LIN-545287 notes that a similar example is also published in MacGregor & Bolick (1993:224 no 38.13) where the authors note that many of the published examples come from 5th or 6th century contexts but as a type they survive into the 7th century.

WILT-844A84: FIGURINE
An Iron Age to Roman copper alloy figurine of a stylised, standing horse, probably dating to 100 BC to AD 100. The head of the horse is quite large in comparison to the body. It now has two stubs for ears, due to old damage. A band between the ears suggests a brow band from a halter is depicted. One of the eyes is just visible but not the other, due to pitting all over most of the surface of the find. The mouth is slightly open. The neck and back are long. There is the suggestion of the band under the chest, between the front legs. There is a band under the belly, which continues up the sides of the horse and may once have continued around its back, but any further evidence of the band is now lost due to pitting. There is a sub-oval mark on the horse's rear where the tail would once have been attached. The horse is missing the lower parts of all four legs. Where the original surface is still present, it has a greenish patina. There is also evidence that the figurine was gilded as this is visible in places. Dimensions: length 54.9mm, width 17.8mm, height 32.9mm. Weight 49.82 grams. This is similar to the Iron Age horse figurine from Pentwyn-mawr, Abercarn, Caerphilly, now in the National Museum of Wales.

See also SOM-A0C28E on the PAS database for a similar, slightly more crude example.

WILT-E8AC46: BUCKLE
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy buckle dating to c. AD 1350 -1400. The frame was originally oval in shape with a decorated outer edge. This outer edge comprises a central pin rest formed from two transverse ridges, either side of which is a large projecting globular knop at each end. The knops are decorated with small circles. The offset bar and the pin are missing, due to old breaks. Dimensions: Width 15.7mm, Height 18.7mm, Weight 2.17g. This buckle is a Meols type 10 dated to the late 14th century (Griffiths, Philpott and Egan 2007: 90-91, no. 545).

WILT-E75010: FINGER RING
An incomplete Roman copper alloy finger ring, dating to c. AD 43-100. Guiraud Type 1. The finger ring is decorated around the oval, upstanding bezel with a geometric design of engraved triangles of two types - plain or stippled. The bezel retains the remains of a dark brownish red stone or glass setting. The patina of the finger ring is light grey green. Dimensions: height: 24.4mm; internal diameter of ring 16.3mm, external diameter 20.4mm, thickness of hoop 1.8mm, dimensions of bezel 12.0mm x 10.0mm. Weight 6.80 grams.

WILT-6CAC99: COIN
A Roman copper alloy nummus of the House of Constantine dating to the period AD 330-335 (Reece period 17) VRBS ROMA reverse type depicting Romulus and Remus being suckled by the wolf, two stars above. Mint unclear.

WILT-29B2C5: FURNITURE FITTING
A Post Medieval to Modern cast copper alloy probable furniture fitting, or finial, possibly ethographic, dating to c. AD 1700-1900. The object is in excellent condition, and complete. It neatly divides into two distinct parts, the upper half is openwork around a central rod and four arches decorated with a floral design which finishes with a floral knop. The lower half is solid and also heavily decorated, centred by a human face with lentoid eyes and full lips, and large ears with earrings. The figure is seated, decorated front and back with oval shapes. The object terminates with a screw fitting. It would seem that the object was intended to be easily removed perhaps for cleaning. Measurements: height 78.9mm, maximum width 34.9mm, weight 58.10g. The screw thread suggests this is a modern object and the figure may be ethnographic.

WILT-19CFB9: COIN
A Post Medieval copper alloy rose farthing of Charles I (1625-49), dating to AD 1636-44. Rose (Type 1). Initial Mark: crescent only on obverse. London mint. North (1991: 165) no. 2291.

WILT-6DA3A7: FINGER RING
A complete copper alloy finger ring dating to medieval/post medieval period c.1450-1600. The finger ring is sub circular in plan with a lozengiform bezel which is incised with three horizontal parallel recessed cells, the outer two of which are filled with an opaque pale yellow material, possibly glass or enamel. The middle groove is empty, but probably was also originally filled in the same way. There is an incised zigzag swag design border above and below the grooves which is asymmetrical. The pointed ends of the bezel also have the same incised decoration, one shows a sub oval shape, the opposite shows four short incised horizontal lines. The shoulders are decorated with an incised delicate floral design depicting a five, (probably six) petalled flower (which has some damage), together with foliage and trailing horizontal, curved lines, plus geometric shapes. The same is probably repeated on the opposite shoulder but this has been damaged. All the incised designs are depicted in a pale colour, but this appears to be soil trapped inside the incisions. Dimensions: External diameter: 24.7mm, internal diameter: 21.14mm. Thickness of hoop: 1.6mm. Width of hoop at base: 5.6mm, length of bezel: 20.7mm; width of bezel: 10.7, Weight: 6.03g. It has not been possible to find a parallel for the find, but the design suggests the dates above.

WILT-42E7EC: SUNDIAL
An almost complete Medieval copper alloy sundial or compendium with sundial, compass and nocturnal (missing), dating to c. AD 1450-1500. The find is circular in plan with a circular internal hinged hour ring which bears the remains of possibly Germanic Roman numerals in black letter script. The hour ring is held in place by a hinge on one side of the case and can be raised. This hour ring and the (now misplaced) gnomon would have lifted up to make an equatorial dial. The gap in the hour ring would have been bridged with a curved small-diameter rod. The annulus is discontinuous so that it does not block the sun at its south side. The numerals run from 4 am to 8 pm with noon (XII) at the hinge but now obscured. Each terminal of the hour ring has a circular incision giving a slightly rounded end. The remains of a clasp can be seen, held in place on the side of the case by two rivets. Inside the case is a thin circular strip of copper alloy, pointed at one end and squared off at the other. This sits below the hour ring, against the sides of the case, but its pointed end is no longer securely in place. This strip of metal may be a spacer to hold the glass the correct distance above the base of the compass, holding it above the (now missing) compass needle. Inside the case would have been a magnetic compass with a mica or quartz glass lid and compass needle (now only evidenced by iron staining). The case may have had a paper compass card as the cardinal directions are not engraved directly onto the base. The remains of the gnomon in the form of a copper alloy cross, is inside the case. One of the arms of the gnomon is shorter than the rest, possibly due to an old break. It would have pivoted between the VI am to VI pm diameter but is now displaced. The short (broken?) end would have swung down to prop the ring up at the colatitude. The reverse of the interior plate forms the base of the case and is held in place by two pieces of the frame which appear to have been bent over to form a lip. There are traces of a punched decoration in the form of flower petals on the base, forming part of a semi-circle. Iron corrosion can also be seen in the centre of the base, again probably from the iron needle. The missing dual purpose nocturnal/lid would have hinged above the hour ring so that, when closed, the instrument was a short cylinder with closed ends. The glass would be below the hour ring, enclosing the compass and keeping its needle in. Dimensions: 10.1mm in height and 37.6mm in diameter. It weighs 15.46g. 'A handy universal device of the following makeup: a closable box containing a compass, a retractable equatorial sundial and a nocturnal. This three-in-one pocket sundial was ideal for travel thanks to its small size and compact design. In an era when most people still relied on more-or-less exact church clocks, this watch offered precise time measurement to its users from mobile and educated strata not only from the urban bourgeoisie but also of the nobility-whether at home or abroad, by day and night, 365 days per year' (Salzer, 2017, 97).

WILT-3DF723: MOUNT
A largely complete Roman copper alloy mount in the form of a recumbent bull, dating to the period c. AD 43-410. The head is wedge-shaped and delineated from the body by a curved groove from under the ear leading to the nose, where the groove straightens into a mouth and then continues to curve past the other side of the head. This gives the appearance of the head being slightly lifted, as though the animal is looking upwards. Two horns are depicted, one of which tapers inwards to a point, the other has broken off. The base of each horn is encircled by a slight ridge, possibly suggesting decoration. The ears sit just below the horns, and lie horizontally. The eyes are lentoid in form and slightly bulbous. The beast is depicted with a slight dewlap. The front legs, with cloven hooves clearly defined, are stretched straight out in front, with only one back leg depicted. Only the upper part of the tail remains, due to an old break. Some iron staining is present on the central body on both sides of the animal. The beast has the remains of a iron tang beneath the belly, for attachment to another object. The object is well modelled with clearly defined features. Dimensions: 30.4mm in length, 18.0mm in width, 33.3mm in height and weighs 28.43 grams. Other Roman bull figurines on the PAS database, including IOW-2CA926 from Calbourne, Isle of Wight; BH-98132A from Sarratt, Hertfordshire; LIN-B2326D from Bullington, Lincolnshire and LIN-B2326D from Burnham, Buckinghamshire. Few other bronze bulls are known from Britain. It is possible that this example was made in Britain although it could have been imported from Roman Gaul. The type of artefact to which the object was attached is uncertain but it may have been attached to a casket (M. Henig, pers. comm.)

WILT-05FFCD: COIN
A complete Roman silver denarius of the Civil Wars, dating to the period c. AD 68-9 (Reece Period 3). S P Q R reverse type depicting legend within oak-wreath. Mint of Gaul issued during the revolt of Vindex. As RIC I (2nd ed.), p. 209, no. 73b.

A complete Post Medieval copper alloy finger ring dating to c. AD 1600-1900. It is in the form of a belt with a circular buckle and pin standing proud of the finger ring itself. There is some very fine decoration around the buckle and ring in the form of transverse lines and also perhaps, foliage. Traces of a white metal coating are in evidence. The diameter is 21.9mm, the height 5.1mm, thickness 1.3mm and weight 2.62g. See DENO-2956AB on the PAS database for similar.

WILT-8C1A6A: MOUNT
A complete Post Medieval circular cast lead head of a lion probably dating to c. AD 1650-1800. The lion has deep set eyes, the face is in high relief, although the nose is flattened. The head is surrounded by the mane. On the reverse are four iron mounts now squashed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock with significant iron staining. The back of the object is rounded suggesting that it was cast in an open mould. The patina is a mixture of pale green and mid brown. The mount measures 30.0mm in diameter, 12.1mm in maximum thickness and weighs 41.98 grams. See WAW-B21FEE on the PAS database for similar.

WILT-73FB22: FINGER RING
A fragment of a Roman copper alloy finger ring with integral raised copper alloy bezel, probably Guiraud/Henig Type 2 (1974 fig.1) , dating to c. AD 43-200. The remaining section of the ring consists of the bezel shoulders, both of which end in old breaks. The shoulders widen evenly and thicken slightly from the broken ends to the oval bezel and are D-shaped in section with a flat inner side and shallowly convex outer side. On the bezel taking up almost the entire width and length with just a narrow flat border with the incised line, is an integral raised oval boss. The boss has convex rounded sides (in plan and in section) and a flat top. The top is decorated with numerous indents which is all that remains of the decoration. The ring fragment measures 17.5mm in length, 8.3mm in width, 3.4mm in thickness and weighs 1.41 grams. Such rings often have glass or gem intaglios but simple raised bosses like this are also know such as SOM-AE1DA5 and SOM-05706D on the PAS database.

WILT-6013ED: ANNULAR BROOCH
A fragment of medieval copper alloy annular brooch, probably dating to c. AD 1250-1450. The brooch was originally circular in plan, but now only part of it remains. There are three collets spaced approximately equidistantly on the frame, which are now empty but would have contained domed glass pellets. Between each collet is a recurring ring motif cast into the angled frame. The brooch is missing its pin and half of the brooch. In section, the internal and external circumferences of the brooch are triangular On the reverse of the brooch there are linear incised finishing marks (file marks) evident on the angled inner circumference. The external diameter of the brooch is 22.5mm, the internal diameter is 15.9mm and is 3.7mm thick including the collets). These are maximum dimensions. It weighs 1.53 grams. See HESH-713766 on the PAS database for similar.

WILT-4BA787: WHETSTONE
An incomplete probable Early Medieval to Medieval whetstone, dating to c. AD 800-1400. The whetstone has been made from a very fine grained sedimentary mica-rich stone, and is mid grey in colour. It is sub rectangular in plan with slightly tapering sides, In cross section it is rectangular. A suspension hole has been drilled in the upper part of the whetstone by drilling both sides to produce an hour glass shaped hole 3.2mm in diameter. The opposite (lower) end is broken. Dimensions: 33.5mm in length, 9.6mm in width, 9.7mm in thickness and weighs 4.57 grams. See DOR-E194B6 on the PAS database for similar.

WILT-4AFE27: BEAD
A complete white glass bead of unknown date, Iron Age to Modern, c. 400 BC - AD 1900. The object is circular in plan. There are cracks on the outer face, but there is no visible mould line, nor any sign of a spiral internal structure. Such beads have been in use throughout history and are therefore very difficult to date when discovered as chance finds. They were used extensively on lace making bobbins in the 19th century. The bead measures 9.5mm in diameter, 6.8mm in height. The perforation measures 3.5mm. The bead weighs 0.76 grams. See SWYOR-C9D594 on the PAS database which states 'Such beads have been in use throughout history and are therefore very difficult to date when discovered as chance finds. They were used extensively on lace making bobbins in the 19th century'.

WILT-7C9C68: AXEHEAD
An incomplete Neolithic greenstone axehead, dating to c. 4000-2350 BC. It has broken at the butt end where it is circular in section, becoming a pointed oval at the edged end. The axehead is a basic igneous rock which has been subjected to low grade metamorphism. It is a dark greenish grey in colour with two iron stainings which are approximately 2cms x 1cm in size. The texture of the axehead is a mottled medium grain - grains can be seen by the naked eye. It would have originally been ground and polished smooth, but as this has not, it may suggest the axehead was broken during manufacture. Such rocks are common in Devon and Cornwall around the edges of granite intrusions that form Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor and Lands End. The axehead measures 100.0mm in length, 55.5mm in thickness and 38.2mm in width. It weighs 350g.

WILT-285091: VESSEL
A fragment of a Medieval or Post Medieval copper alloy leg for a cooking pot or cauldron, dating to AD1200-1700. In section the leg is trapezoidal with a flat back. The leg widens outwards at the base to form a trapezoidal foot. The foot is flat(ish) on its underside. The leg would have risen at an angle of c. 110 degrees. The leg is 45.5mm in height, 23.9mm wide at its top, 8.3mm thick maximum. The foot is 16.4mm at its widest point. The fragment weighs 54.61g. Butler and Green state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use for longer, 'bronze cauldrons in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of the 18th century by cast iron which were cheaper to make and more durable' Butler and Green (2003: 15). These are a common find on the PAS database. Other examples of pot legs on the PAS database include: ESS-0E891E, SWYOR-572118.

WILT-06930D: SHOT
A complete post medieval lead shot dating from c1600 to mid 17th century.. The shot is a whitish colour, broadly spherical with a possible worm hole slightly off centre. - worm holes were caused by the use of a wormer (a tine fixed to a ramrod) to remove shot from the barrel. This worm hole seems rather small and it is not possible to see if there are any screw threads inside it There are various scratches, indentations and a small flattened area on the surface which may be impact damage. The maximum diameter of the shot is 19.0mm, minimum diameter is 17.8mm. and it weighs 36.04 grams. This weight suggests that it is possibly a piece of shot for a musket.

WILT-F1DC68: BELL

WILT-C6F765: HANDAXE
A complete pointed flint handaxe dating to the Paleolithic. Handaxes were manufactured in Britain from 500,000 BC to 40,000 BC. The tool has been bifacially worked with removals struck from either edge on both faces. There is one small oval area of original cortex on the ventral face measuring 16.5mm x 10.7mm. The handaxe is almost completely recorticated with iron staining suggesting it rolled in water for a considerable time. However, there are a few places where the recortication has chipped off and the original colour of the flint can be seen to be a pale to mid grey. The thickness of the recortication means that while flakes are discernible and completely cover both faces, it is difficult to see all the ripple marks. Measurements: length 176.0mm, max. width 84.3mm, max. thickness 37.0mm, weight 570 grams. Suggested date range: 500,000 BC- 250,000 BC. K.Leahy supports this date of the Lower Paleolithic for flints with iron staining as common. (Recording flint and stone: A Guide and Protocol (2014). p. 12.

WILT-D3E878: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete Medieval copper alloy seal matrix, probably dating to AD 1200-1400. The seal has a circular base and is missing its attachment lug. Approximately 60% of the matrix survives, with cut marks suggesting the seal was deliberately damaged in order to decommission it. The die is engraved with a lion rampant within two entwined, double stranded squares, creating a star of David. It is inscribed (in retrograde): (S') IOhIS DE LAVIN[...], probably originally the seal of John of Lavington. The diameter of the seal is 20.6mm and the thickness 2.7mm. It weighs 3.88 grams.

The head is D-shaped, with a straight upper edge, from which expands a slighly flaring headplate terminating in a complete integral headloop. Two cylindrical wings expand from the reverse of the head, with a rectangular slot cut to accomodate a hinged pin, now lost, and retaining an iron axis bar in situ. The bow expands from the front of the head, sub-rectangular in cross section and with two recessed, longitudinal channels running down the front. Traces of an enamel inlay survives in both channels, the left red, the right now discoloured pale green. Traces of a white metal coating survive on the headplate. The brooch fragment is 23.6mm in length, 12.5mm (max.) in width and weighs 4.77 grams. The general form and decoration is highly reminiscent of the Wroxeter type, although the pin attachement method is different on this example.

WILT-8D28C7: TOGGLE
A complete cast copper alloy toggle or dress fastener of post-medieval date. The toggle consists of a pointed oval body, from which projects perpendicularly a sub-rectangular sectioned shaft, terminating in two circular loops. The toggle is undecorated and has has a light brown patina. The toggle is 26.0mm long, 19.2mm wide, 6.4mm thick and weighs 6.26g. This object is one of a group of artefacts which were originally identified by Ralph Jackson and Sally Worrell as cosmetic pestles, dating from the late Iron Age or early Roman period,AD 100 - 200 as seen in SWYOR-E137B1 and DENO-D53724. However, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that at least some of these items are in fact clothing fasteners; toggles similar to those on a duffle coat, as in SF-332DF0 and SWYOR-9FE646. One piece of evidence is the distribution of PAS examples, which differ from the distribution of cosmetic sets. See the discussion on page 6 of Jackson (2010) Cosmetic Sets of Late Iron Age and Roman Britain, and compare number 513 and 593. The date of these toggles is still unknown as none have been found in dated contexts.

WILT-8BF8CD: FINGER RING
An incomplete Roman copper alloy finger ring, probably of Guiraud's type 2d or 2e, probably dating to c. AD 43-250; a small strip of copper alloy, found alongside the ring, is possibly associated.

The ring has a shallow plano-convex cross section, tapering in width into the shoulders, and with an oval recess at the apex of the bezel. The setting has been lost, and no decoration is present on the surface. Dimensions: length 20.9mm; width 11.2mm; thickness 2.3mm; weight 2.55g. The smaller fragment measures: length 15.4mm; width 2.7mm; thickness 1.0mm; weight 0.16g. In it's form the ring appears to best equate to Guiraud's types 2d and 2e, forms generally dated to the first to earlier third centuries (cf. Guiraud 1989: fig. 11).

WILT-8B515F: BUCKLE
A Medieval copper alloy single loop oval buckle, probably dating to c. AD 1350-1400.

It weighs 5.66 grams A post medieval lead seal stamped very deeply with the letter M on both sides. It weighs 11.40 grams A post medieval lead seal in poor condition. Wthin a pelleted border [ ]DRE[ ], the reverse border is also pelleted within which SUSS[ ] can be deciphered. It weighs 8.75 grams. A fragment of a medieval lead cloth seal with the letter B and possibly IF and two fleurs de lys. Probably French. The seal weighs 9.64 grams A lead medieval cloth seal with indeterminate markings. The seal is in two pieces but still joined, it weighs 6.88 grams. A lead medieval cloth seal marked XX supported by a large I with I and H either side. The reverse is unmarked. It weighs 5.64 grams. At least 8 of these seals can be given a good date within a range on the following basis. They all relate to bags of agricultural fertiliser. Given that the former Wilts & Berks Canal is about 35 metres away from the generalised findspot and that it was not opened until 1810 and that Harris' Factory was built c.1919, a date of 1810-1918 can be given as an outside date range. Imports of guano from South America were at their height between 1840-1870 and this date could therefore be argued to be the more likely for the Peruvian seals. The three cloth seals are medieval Although only a selection of 13 seals was made for this report, the owner of the seals has at least 100 seals all found on this site prior to the building of the factory in 1919. The large number of seals strongly suggests that the site in Calne was an area of trade, import and probably warehousing, associated either with the canal or the River Marden.

WILT-92F5E4: FINGER RING
A complete silver finger ring of uncertain date. The hoop is polygonal in plan with eight external facets (octagonal). In section, the hoop is rectangular. The ring is undecorated. The ring is very thin (see dimensions below). Dimensions: Width: 1.4 mm, Weight: 0.54 g, Diameter: 20.7 mm Discussion and Date: The ring was originally suspected to be Roman in date (c. AD 200-410, Henig type IX) ) but it was brought to the British Museum where the curator of Romano-British collections viewed it and discounted it as being from this period. Rings of similar shape (octagonal in plan) are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: a copper-alloy example from Stoke Ferry, Norfolk (NMS-95FF73) is described as Medieval in date (c.1300-1500) while a gold example from Knapton, York area (YORYM-57E0F4) is dated c.1750-1850. The subject ring lacks any other diagnostic features which might aid in dating it to a more specific period.

The weight is 12.94 grams. The armorial bearings are similar to SF3016 and SF8433. Clive Cheesman comments There are three unnamed cases for this motif, one for an enigmatic 'Syr Rochester', and two for men called John de Tudhame and Robarte de Tuteham. The latter are presumably the John and Robert Tudenham who performed knight service under Edward I in the 1280s and 1290s. It is worth noting that Robert Tudenham acquired the manor of Eriswell in Suffolk by marriage with Eva, widow of Ralph de Rochester (Rowcester, Rucester, Roffa etc). Possibly he started using the arms at the same time as becoming possessed of the Rochester property; or possibly later medieval heralds inadvertently or inaccurately ascribed the Rochester arms to their successors at Eriswell. The later Tuddenham family used quite different arms and Joan Corder, Dictionary of Suffolk Arms (Suffolk Records Society vol 7: 1965), p. 331, suggests that this design is generally ascribed to Rochester. This harness mount is published in The Coat of Arms (2016, Third Series, Volume 12(2)/no.232, 122), Plate XII/a.

WILT-06FB40: MINIATURE OBJECT
An incomplete Roman (AD 1-410) copper alloy miniature object in the form of an Iron Age or Romano British socketed axehead, with a broken loop. It is of Robinson's Type ?? The object measures 17.86mm in length, 10.49mm in max.width (width at loop), 8.76mm in max thickness ('socket' end) and weighs 4.98g. The 'socket' end is D-shaped in cross-section. The central rectangular 'socket' measures 4.64 x 3.27mm, D-shaped in cross-section. The socket is 3.21mm deep. The loop extends in a C-shape to one side and is broken in the middle. The blade when viewed in profile is triangular in cross-section and 6.40mm thick below the socket, narrowing to 2.77mm at the cutting edge. In plan, the axehead is "waisted", flaring at both the socket-end and the cutting edge, which is rounded. Reference: Robinson 1995, Wiltshire Archaeology Magazine 88, p.60-68, cf.10, 13. Robinson dates the majority of the miniature axeheads to the Roman period, some being from Late Roman contexts. However some are known too from the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age.

WILT-056F34: COSMETIC PESTLE
A copper alloy cosmetic end looped pestle with a smooth grey green patina. The elliptical circular sectioned rod swells towards the up-turned tip. The slender loop, in the form of a stylized bird's head with prominent brow and everted bill, has a large round eye. It dates from the late Iron Age to Roman period, but is more likely to be Roman. It is similar to the pestle in Jackson ( 2010), pp 72, No 10.

WILT-04BEC6: TOY
An incomplete post medieval cast copper alloy toy cannon. The cannon is 44.66mm long. There is evidence for the two central trunion bars which are missing. Also missing is a cascabel. At the breech end there is a thickened base ring from which the barrel tapers. There is a tiny vent hole on one side. From where the trunnion bars were, the barrel tapers slightly to a flared muzzle. Between the muzzle and the trunnion the barrel is decorated with a circumferential ring. Just before this ring two diagonal cuts have been made into the barrel making a hole 5mm wide - perhaps the child's attempt to turn the toy into a whistle. The cannon weighs 13.73g and at its widest point at the base ring is 10.42mm in diameter. There is a very similar example in Forsyth and Egan, 2005 Toys Trifles and Trinkets London: Museum of London pp82. The cannon is a typical shape of the first half of the eighteenth century.

The front face is decorated with with three pellets flanked by inverted triangles, which are connected to form two interlinked patterns, the remainder of the front face is decorated with transverse ridges and an outer circumferential band. The reverse is decorated with an intricate cross moline. A projection is visible on one edge, the other edge is abraded.

WILT-0CBBF4: CORE
A later Mesolithic (7000-4001 BC). pyramidical shaped flint core with evidence of multiple blade removals from two opposing platforms. There is also a step fracture present. The flint is a mottled dark and mid grey with some areas of white and brown.. No cortex remains. The core measures 55.1mm in length and is 30.3mm at its widest point. It weighs 51.23 grams.

WILT-554BA1: SUNDIAL
An incomplete copper-alloy post medieval portable sundial. This example is of the simple ring type. It is formed of a flat copper-alloy ring with a rectangular channel cut in the centre for about a third of its circumference; this would have contained a separate sliding collar, which is missing. On the external surface, above and below the channel, there are inscribed measurement lines and an inscription O N D W W H S A M I S // M F I [..] W PROCTO[R] S W T. On the interior there are similar incised lines directly above and below the channel that go around the whole surface. In a zone between each end of the channel are punched dots (indicating the half hour), alternately over scored with diagonal and transverse lines. These lines are in turn under numerals denoting hours: '1 2 3 4 5 6 ' above and '11 10 9 8 7 6' below, the number 12 is upside down. These numerals are repeated on the opposing side of the ring. Between the two sets of figures 'W H S' is inscribed vertically. The basic semicircular wire loop is missing, the two circular perforations are visible. The sundial measures 53.22 mm in internal diameter; 55.78 mm external diameter and 11.38 mm high and weighs 17.50 grams Notes: These sundials are known as simple ring dials or poke dials ('poke' being an archaic word for pocket). The sliding collar would be set into position for the month of the year and, when the dial was suspended vertically, the sun would shine through the hole in the lozenge-shaped piece, through the slot, and onto the interior of the ring. The hour could then be read by looking at the closest gradation mark to the spot of light on the interior of the ring. Turner states "A cheap dial, it was popular during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries among country people who kept it in their poke, or pocket. Not infrequently they are literally unearthed" (Turner 1980, 25).

SUSS-429B96: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
An nearly complete barbed-and-tanged flint arrowhead of the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC-1500 BC). The arrowhead is fashioned from dark grey-coloured flint of even colour and patina. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan with only its point-tip, a small amount of the tang and the very end of one barb missing. Covering pressure flake removals are evident on both ventral and dorsal faces and retouch is present on the sharpened outer edges of the implement. It seems to be of the Sutton Type (cf. Butler 2005, Figs. 68-69). This example has flat mesial edges, rather than outwardly-curving edges typical to many related types.

SUSS-427A01: AXEHEAD
A stone axehead of uncertain date or attributed culture, possibly fashioned from non-native volcanic material. The axe is asymmetrical in form, with an angled blade-end, which tapers to a rounded butt-end; in plan, the axe is sub-triangular and ranges from oval to lentoid in cross-section moving from butt to blade. The outer surface of the axe is of a coarse, pimpled dark greenish-grey material and the stone is very dense. Natural inclusions in the stone appear in lines of darker material as well as some areas exhibiting a dark orange colour. It measures 94.8 mm long, 63.7 mm wide, 35 mm thick and weighs 304 grams.

SUSS-41C181: TOY
An incomplete cast lead alloy toy gun, probably of Post Medieval-early Modern petronel pistol type, with the remains of an iron mechanism, c. 16th-19th century AD. The remains of the toy gun consists of the butt and barrel, with the stubs of an iron trigger mechanism which project both above and below the position of the lock. Some of the long cylindrical barrel is missing. It is cast in one piece with a groove along the top edge to accommodate the iron mechanism, mentioned above. The trigger is missing. The external surface is decorated with a simplistic version of a common motif of scrolls and curlicues of vegetal character, and, above the putative trigger, with a lentoid plate (depicted on both sides) on which the mechanism of a wheel lock is represented; this area of the toy has two circular rivets running through both sides. The barrel is split at its expanded end, perhaps from an explosion when the gun was last fired. The barrel itself is filled with further lead alloy. A further circular rivet runs through the butt of the gun, perhaps aiding in the fixing of the iron component along with the two rivets at the centre. The toy measures 56.2mm long, 8.4mm wide, 11.4mm thick and it weighs 20.12 grams. Many different types of similar toy pistols have been recorded on the PAS database, ranging in date from the 16th-19th century AD. A similar type recorded as NLM-5019F5 has been identified as a form of a cavalry pistol of circa 1600-1630 (Forsyth and Egan 2005, Toys, Trifles and Trinkets: Base-metal miniatures from London 1200 to 1800, page 97, no. 1.39).

SUSS-417502: BUCKLE
A post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop rectangular buckle frame with a transverse suspension loop at one end of the central axis bar, which is now broken. The frame has a narrowed axis bar and bevelled inner and outer edges on the outer sides of the frame, meaning the outer sides are set at an angle. The suspension loop is oval, with a drilled circular hole. The frame is 45.4mm long, 32mm wide and 11.4mm thick; the suspension loop is 13.4mm by 11.4mm by 2.7mm; the whole weighs 10.42 grams. Whitehead (2003: 76 no. 472) illustrates a very similar example which he dates to c.1500-1630; he describes them as specialist sword-belt hangers.

SUSS-407D70: VESSEL
A Medieval or Post Medieval ceramic fragment of a vessel, probably part of a bunghole pitcher, c. 1375-1500 AD. The fragment is composed of a find sandy ware and is comprised of the bunghole itself and a small portion of the surrounding vessel wall. Both outer and inner surface of the vessel are of a light buff-orange colour, with a thin white-grey core. The fragment measures 52.3 mm long, 49 mm wide, 21.7 mm thick and weighs 40 grams.

SUSS-B02677: PENANNULAR RING
Description Half of a penannular ring of circular cross-section comprising gold foil covering a base metal (copper alloy) core. The exposed core and outer surface of the gold are iron-stained, probably from the burial environment. The fragment appears to have been quite neatly cut from the direction of the gap as the inner edge of the cross-section is flattened over the edge of the core and the outer edge is more ragged. Maximum diameter 18mm; width 7.0 x 6.5mm. Weight 5.67 grams. Composition Appended report below. Identification A well known later Bronze Age type, decorative in character, c.1150-750 BC.

SUSS-6299F6: BUCKLE
A nearly complete Post Medieval copper alloy trapezoidal buckle dating from c 1620-1680. The frame is pointed at the end of both loops with concave outer edges; a lobed knop is situated at either end of the strap bar. Two angled incised lines criss-cross at the base of both lobed knops. The pin is present but is broken off at its shaft and is now only 12mm long. The length of the frame is 49.6mm and the width at the knopped strap bar is 27mm. The thickness is 2.7mm and the weight is 8.17 grams. A similar, but not exact example can be found in Whitehead 2003, p83, No 516, which is dated to c. 1620-1680 AD.

SUSS-623AD8: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval or Post Medieval double loop oval buckle dating to c. 1350-1650. The remains of the buckle consist of the simple double loop buckle frame with narrowed strap bar; the pin is missing. There is a patch of iron corrosion on the top of the pin rest and strap bar, suggesting that the pin was composed of iron. The buckle frame measures 28.2 mm in length, 19.2mm in width at the strap bar. The thickness is 2mm. The weight is 3.75 grams. Similar example are illustrated in Whitehead 2003, pp 54-54, which date from the Medieval to Post Medieval periods.

SUSS-61E7D5: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval or Post Medieval double loop oval buckle dating to c. 1350-1650 AD. The buckle consists of the double loop buckle frame; the pin is missing. The strap bar is recessed from the edge of the frame. There is a significant amount of iron corrosion on the strap bar and half of one loop, indicating that the missing pin was composed of iron. The buckle frame measures 22.8mm in length and 18.8mm in width. The thickness is 3.6mm and the weight 2.7 grams. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead 2003, pp 53-54.

SUSS-104EF1: STRAP END
Description: Copper-alloy strap end with silver rivets. The copper alloy is now very corroded and has lost much of its surface, leaving it a brownish colour. The wider attachment end is rectilinear and is split into a frontplate and backplate. Passing through both are three rivet holes, the central one empty and the outer ones filled with silver rivets with small rounded domed heads and burred-over ends. The strap-end has a wide raised border, in which the rivet holes are set, around a lowered shield-shaped field in the centre which appears to be undecorated. At the narrower, pointed end, there is a moulded transverse collar above a longer rounded lobe or knop, and then the strap-end terminates in another smaller rounded knop with a transverse median groove. These collars and knops occupy the space normally taken up by an animal-head terminal, but there is no trace of any detail of eyes or ears. On the undecorated reverse the central rivet hole can only just be seen; it is blocked and obscured by corrosion. Dimensions: The strap end measures 38.7mm long, 16.9mm wide and is a maximum of 7.1mm thick. It weighs 10.23g. Discussion and Date: Strap-ends with one end split in this manner to hold the strap fall into Thomas's Class A, and date broadly to the ninth century. Having rivets of silver, but a copper-alloy body, is not uncommon among ninth-century artefacts; see, for example, Thomas class A strap-ends SOMDOR-D9D227, SOMDOR-C8A847, BH-AD1834, BUC-983400, LIN-170E36, BERK-D6E961, SWYOR-B89D43, NMS-DD7374, SF9156, KENT4516, KENT 4323, NLM768 and NLM2, and Thomas class B strap-ends SOM-9485D4, BH-3A1748 and HAMP-FA2104. Other items include the hasp NMS90 and the brooch NCL-771FB5. Brooch NARC-E11208 has a 93% silver rivet and a 27% silver plate. The extreme simplification of the normal animal-head terminal is unusual, however, as is the very simple decoration (although the central panel may originally have contained an inlay). The closest parallel on the PAS database is perhaps SUSS-3D6324, a silver strap-end also from East Sussex and now in the British Museum.

SUSS-1033E7: VESSEL
A complete Post Medieval cast copper-alloy handle, from a chafing dish (c. 1500-c. 1600). This handle is mainly a heart-shaped frame in plan. The bottom of the heart has a small straight bar with the attachment lug (the top) the two longer sides that flare out to rounded corners are straight and the lower side has a large 'V'-shaped notch. In general it is an inverted heart shape. It has bevelled corners giving it a hexagon shape in cross-section. The attachment lug is sub-oval in plan and roughly sub-rectangular in cross-section. At the attachment end there is a short squat rivet. At each narrow side there is a slight groove just below the rivet. The hole that holds the handle is sub-oval and has a maximum diameter of 7.8mm. The handle measures an overall 61 mm long, 57.9 mm wide and 4.17 mm thick; the attachment lug is 19.1 mm long, 13.1 mm wide, and 8.6 mm thick. The overall weight is 43.81 grams. Both elements have an even deep green patina. All faces of the handle have file marks and there are also file marks on the narrow sides of the lug. Chafing dishes were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material. This was then used to cook food or keep it hot at the table. This particular handle is from a type D1 chafing dish. This type of dish dates to the 16th century (Lewis: 1973, 'Some types of metal chafing-dish', Antiquaries Journal, Volume 53 pp. 60-70 Society of Antiquaries). A very similar handle has been recorded from Little Horsted Parish, East Sussex. See, Portable Antiquities Scheme find: SUSS-E23EA7.

SUSS-0FD346: FLAT AXEHEAD
A fragment of a cast copper alloy Bronze Age flat axe. It consists of the blade edge and a small portion of the body. The axe probably dates to the early Bronze Age, c2150-1500 BC. The axe fragment is curved and wider at the blade end. It then narrows and thickens along the body. The blade end shows use of ware with pieces missing along the edge. There are no markings or fixings visible on the axe for further identification. The fragment measures 64.9mm long, 71mm wide at the blade and 40.9mm wide athe the break end. It is 9.8mm at its thickest point and weighs 173 grams.

SUSS-0F9B64: BROOCH
An incomplete Early Medieval cast copper-alloy and gilded brooch. The brooch consists of the head-plate and upper bow of a small square-headed brooch of the early Anglo-Saxon period, 6th century AD. The head-plate is complete, with a small inner gilded panel and an outer frame which is gilded around outer edge. The base of the upper bow connects to the lower edge of the inner panel. The bow has a broad central ridge which is gilded vertically along each side where it connects to the inner panel. The inner panel is positioned immediately above the bow. At the top of the central ridge of the bow is a raised rectangular panel which is gilded and contains a raised decoration similar to that shown in MacGregor and Bolick 1993, p118 no 13.13, which is described as a discontinuous cable moulding. There are only two pieces of this cabling. The reverse of the head-plate retains the D-shaped projecting hinge lugs and the base of the iron hinge pin which is corroded in place; the pin is now missing. The brooch measures 174.3mm long, 15.5mm wide, 7.6mm thich and it weighs 3.02 grams.

SUSS-0F6492: COIN
A worn silver Post Medieval sixpence of Elizabeth I, London mint with coronet initial mark dating to AD 1569 cf. North 1991 p134 no 1997.

SUSS-0E4244: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Uncertain object, possibly a terminal from a modern, 18th-19th century pastry jigger. The remains of the object consist of the top-end with some sort of punching or decorating tool, which is solid cast, followed by a hollow conical 'handle' or body. The tool at the top-end has six pointed sub-triangular shaped knops, which are generally sharper than the usual crimped tool. The hollow conical 'handle' or body is also unusual, in that many jiggers from this period had slender solid cast handles or would have fit into another component rather than accommodating the component; a small circular rivet hole is visible on one side of the base of the conical element, suggesting that this would have fixed the copper alloy segment into another object or component. An irregular hole is visible on the other side of the conical element, which is due to old damage. These objects are often confused with Roman tile combs and although the identification of this object is uncertain, it is unlikely that this example is a tile comb. The object measures 47.5 mm long, 20 mm wide, with a 24.4 mm diameter base; it weighs 14.3 grams.

SUSS-0DDD34: CUTLERY
The terminal from a modern, 18th to 19th century pastry jigger. The remains of the object consists of the top-end with decorative crimping edge and a small portion of the shaft; it is missing its cutting rolling tool and the majority of its handle. The object is 'T' shaped and terminates in a 'crimped' zig zag, presumably to be used in decorating the pastry. Beneath the terminal there is a double collared knop and then a circular shaft; the old break in the object occurs directly below this knop. These objects are often confused with Roman tile combs. The object measures 28.7 mm long, 33.3 mm wide at the 'T'shaped end, and is 6 mm thick. It weighs 9.77 grams. It has a smooth dark green patina. For a very similar object recorded on the PAS database, cf. record: WMID-3E6B20.

SUSS-3193A2: JETTON
A worn post medieval copper-alloy jetton of Nuremberg of uncertain master dating probably to the late 15th to 16th centuries AD. Rose and orb type.

SUSS-2C4DE2: TOKEN
A post-medieval cast lead alloy token, c. 1550 - 1800. One side of the token bears the relief-moulded uppercase letters 'HW' above what appears to be the number 26. The other side has a stamped letter 'F' in negative relief. Lead tokens were easy to manufacture and widely distributed; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, but those with letters and accompanying numbers are generally thought to date to the post-Medieval period. This is the second of two nearly identical tokens found in the same findspot area; this example is larger than the other.

SUSS-2C37A5: TOKEN
A post-medieval cast lead-alloy token, c. 1550-1800. One side of the token bears the relief-moulded uppercase letters 'HW,' with what appears to be 26 below. The other side has a letter 'F', stamped in negative relief. Lead tokens were easy to manufacture and widely distributed; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, but those with letters and accompanying numbers are generally thought to date to the post-Medieval period.

SUSS-2C1EF2: CLOTH SEAL
A very worn cast lead cloth seal of probable post-Medieval date. The object comprises two flat circular discs joined at the top by a rectangular connecting strip and held together by an integral rivet that extends from disc one through the front face of disc two, where it is flattened. It is only possible to see what looks like an 'I' or 'T' on one face. This is a worn lead cloth seal of uncertain type. The worn legend is unfortunately too poorly preserved to enable a close identification of the full original text, a problem also encountered with the central motif. It is entirely possible that the seal is not of British manufacture, but instead relates to continental textile production and trade. In either case its form and lettering might indicate a post-Medieval date for the current example, perhaps in the 16th century, although until such time as a close parallel for the legend or motif are identified an earlier or later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.

SUSS-2B9D14: JETTON
A copper-alloy Nuremberg rose/orb type jetton, struck by a member of the Krauwinckel family and dating to the period c.1550 - c.1700. No further details recorded.

SUSS-746217: SEAL MATRIX
A cast copper-alloy Medieval seal matrix, probably dating to the 14th century AD. The seal matrix is sub-circular in plan and inscribed around the perimeter with 'PRIVE SV', translated from Latin to mean 'I am privately sent'. The central decoration is of two clasped hands surmounted by a bird. The seal has a hexagonally-fluted body and an overall conical shape. The handle has a five-edged suspension loop and circular suspension loop hole. The metal is of a medium green colour and rough in texture. It measures approximately 15.7 mm in diameter, 19.4 mm high, 6.6 mm wide at suspension loop; it weighs 5.22 grams. Two nearly identical examples have been previously recorded on the PAS database: HAMP-639A56 and LIN-7F50D3.

SUSS-940F95: COIN
Byzantine coin: Copper alloy follis of (Constantine VII) and Romanus I (AD 920-44), struck at Constantinople. Dumbarton Oaks 25; BMC 14-29. As this coin was found in a garden and has no ancient patina, it is probably a modern loss.

SUSS-93B5D3: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
A complete cast copper-alloy transitional Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age socketed axehead (c. 900-700 BC). The axehead has a facetted body, with one wider face which widens towards the blade and a flanking narrow facet to either side. The socket mouth is round with a square internal socket and there seem to be four casting jets which are visible on the mouth, but flattened. A small collar or moulded ridge is visible directly below the socket mouth and the socket mouth itself is quite rounded on the external surface. The casting lines on either side edge have been trimmed and flattened, but not smoothed. The loop is D-shaped in plan and bears the flattened casting line on its external edge. The blade end widens from the axehead body and flares slightly at the lower blade. The colour of the metal is overall grey-green, which indicates a higher tin content; areas towards the blade end exhibit a high bronze-coloured patina. There is a small hole on one face near the blade which may be due to a casting bubble; it seems to perforate through the face and into the socket. It measures an overall 108.4 mm long, 54.86 mm maximum width at blade, 35.64 maximum outer width at socket mouth; the internal diameter of the socket is 26.9 mm and the depth of the socket is approximately 88 mm. The axehead weighs 209 grams. Because of the socket orientation within the axehead, which is back to front, this example may be a smaller derivative of Sompting type axes. According to Bronze Age specialist Dot Boughton, the facets indicate that this axehead should be dated to the Late Bronze Age rather than the Early Iron Age, which more typically has ribs instead of facets (pers. comm. 6/2012).

SUSS-8FF2C6: COIN
An Iron Age uninscribed uniface gold stater, c. 60-20 BC. One side of the coin is undecorated, while the other depicts a triple-tailed horse facing right, wheel below and charioteer's arms above. The perimeter edges of the coin are missing, so further attributes are unavailable for identification. Listed as the Selsey Uniface type in Rudd (2010) 'Ancient British Coins', p. 47, No. 488. Rudd (ibid) mentioned that approximately 50 similar coins were discovered as part of the Climping, West Sussex hoard. Cf. VA 216, BMC 461-75.

SUSS-3A0C47: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified and undated copper-alloy object. No further details recorded.

SUSS-39A890: SWORD
A simple knuckle guard from a Post Medieval century military sword pommel and hilt, c. 17th-18th century. The decorated guard consists of a cast copper alloy circular-sectioned roughly D-shaped loop which would have inserted into the spherical pommel at the top and connected to the base of the hilt and other protective elements at the bottom. The piece has a small circular-sectioned shaft at the top which would have inserted into a key-shaped hole in the pommel; the pommel, along with the rest of the sword, is now missing. Following the connection shaft, the object curves gently outwards to accommodate the hand, thickening at the lower half to include a figural panel on each side. The lower portion of the object is relatively similar in thickness to the upper portion, but is bent more severely at an almost 90-degree angle to the sword hilt. This end shows signs of breakage where is must have broken off from the rest of the guard and the hilt itself. The figural panel is Rococo or Neo-classical in style and depicts similar scenes on either side, depicting a standing nude figure wrapped in either a toga or other draped cloth, with serpents or dragons above and below with some vegetal design. A further small vegetal moulded decoration can be seen near the upper shaft connection point, where the object would have protruded from the spherical pommel. This decoration is similar to other known objects dating to the Georgian period of the mid-late 18th century. It has an even dark green patina and measures 125.5 mm long, 8.35 mm maximum width (figural panel) and 9 mm max. thickness (figural panel); it weighs 25 grams. Related pommels have been recorded on the PAS database with similar decoration, dated to c. 17th century AD; cf.: HAMP-6B8E64. Similar types of knuckle guards can be found on swords in the Museum of London collections: cf.: Collections ID number A930, dated to c. 1691-1700. However, this type of decorated knuckle guard is also found on examples known to have been used during the French and Indian War period by English officers (c. 1760) and a few examples were found during research involving auction houses. Coupled with its decorative style, it is likely that this knuckle guard dates to the latter half of the period suggesting above.

SUSS-382F01: TOKEN
A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular uniface token. Powell Type 30. The token is decorated on one side with five pellets arranged with four forming corners of a square with the fifth pellet roughly in the centre. The reverse surface is flat and undecorated. Lead and its alloys are very easy to work and tokens were often locally produced; therefore they are difficult to date and tokens with simple designs had considerable longevity. There are dated generally from c. 1250-1800 AD.

SUSS-820456: HOOKED TAG
Incomplete copper alloy hooked tag of early post-medieval date, c. 16th-early 17th AD. It has a heart-shaped flat plate with a small circular-sectioned separate loop on the reverse. Both surfaces of the object are very corroded and worn; no further decoration remains. It measures 19.2 mm long, 16.2 mm wide, 5.7 mm thick and weighs 2.2g. Compare NMS-ED5340, IOW-D37514, NARC-8DA5F3 and LVPL-EAB412.

SUSS-81EE53: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper alloy composite Medieval strap end. The strap end consists of two outer plates separated by a forked inner plate; one of the outer plates is completely missing, while the forked inner plate is broken approximately in half. One outer plate seems to be relatively complete, although broken into two pieces. The complete outer plate has a circular rivet at the strap end and there is a further circular rivet intact at the protruding acorn-shaped terminal. The acorn end is very simple with the protruding knop and a small sub-rectangular collar. No further decoration is visible. The incomplete strap end measures 33.3 mm long, 7.93 mm wide at apex, 4.10 mm wide at acorn-shaped terminal, 2.9 mm over thickness, and weighs 1.92 grams. In London strap ends of this form were found in contexts dating from 1270-1450 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, Figs. 93 and 94).

SUSS-819823: BROOCH
A complete cast copper alloy Roman early type plate brooch, dating from the mid-late 1st century AD. The brooch is circular in plan with eight small protruding knops evenly spaced around its circumference. Within the circular plate, there is a smaller central circle which is recessed, with a further circular hole at the centre of the entire plate. No further decoration is visible. The reverse bears a complete simple hinge mechanism with two semi-circular lugs and a very small rivet holding the pin in place. The catchplate is directly opposite the hinge mechanism on the reverse surface, running vertically and sub-triangular in plan. The brooch measures 22.8 mm in diameter, 5.2 mm thick and weighs 2.88 grams. Similar types of plate brooches are illustrated in Hattatt 2007, Fig. 201; cf. particularly No. 1007, athough it is unclear if the central circle is actually a hole in that example. Another example with a more moulded centre is also referenced in Hattatt (Ibid. Fig. 205, No. 1055), dated to the 2nd century AD due to its moulded central boss. As this example does not have the same profile, an earlier date is suggested.

SUSS-817083: COIN
An extremely worn copper alloy Roman nummus, probably of Crispus or Constantine II, under Constantine I (306-337). Mint unknown; reverse type suggests a date of c. 320-321 AD. Obverse depicts a helmeted cuirassed bust facing right; obverse legend illegible. VIRTVS EXERCIT reverse type depicting a trophy standing on ground with a captive seated at either side. Writing on trophy is unclear, but present. Reece Period 16. Cf. RIC VII, p129, No. 107 for one example. For a similar obverse and reverse type of this coin on the PAS database, cf. BH-3B8AF6.

SUSS-8160E1: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded Roman coin, probably representing a radiate or nummus and dating to the period AD c.260 - 402. No detail from either side is clear enough to interpret further.

SUSS-8150E6: COIN
An extremely corroded Roman copper-alloy coin of uncertain ruler and period. The profile of the ruler on the obverse depicts an unshaven bust facing right, probably laureate. The reverse is completely worn and the circumference of the coin seems to be slightly worn away, with traces of the lower half of the reverse legend visible. Both legends are illegible. A probable date range of 2nd-3rd century AD is suggested.

SUSS-80FEB1: COIN
An extremely worn and damaged silver penny of Elizabeth I (1558-1603 AD). Mint: London. Initial mark uncertain due to surface wear. There is too much damage to the coin to provide a full identification. However, the obverse depicts a crowned bust facing left with rosette behind head right; legend is illegible. The reverse depicts a square-top royal shield. North type uncertain due to missing initial mark; however, cf. North 1991 Vol II, No. 1988, 2001 and 2017, spanning First-Third Issues spanning her entire reign.

SUSS-807B77: BALANCE
An incomplete cast copper alloy folding balance, probably dating to the Medieval period. The remains of the balance consist of two arms still connected to a short oval-sectioned central hinge piece (21.26 mm long, 4.40 mm thick), articulated by means of forked ends (each 6.3 mm long). The arms are slightly uneven in length, but measure approximately 55.8 mm long and are circular in cross-section with a narrowed, flat folding-end, which inserts into the hinge piece; the arms then taper gradually to a square-sectioned, sub-rectangular end; which ends in a thin, flat-sectioned square suspension end with circular loop hole. One small suspension loop link (6.67 mm diameter) remains attached to a suspension loop (1.5 mm diameter). The hinge piece has a small rivet running through its centre, with a circular rivet head on the underside and remains of a rectangular shaft protruding slightly from an oval depression on the upper surface. This rivet would have helped to secure the centre pointer and suspension loop. If outstretched the approximate total length of the balance arms would be: 118 mm. Egan (2010, p174; Fig. 142) illustrates a similar folding balance still contained within its sheet metal box alongside several coin weights; cf. also: Ibid, Figs. 240 and 243 for similar folding types. They are dated from the 14th-15th century, but balances using this principle have been recorded from the Early Medieval through to the early Post Medieval period. Some examples are recorded from Anglo-Saxon sites in MacGregor and Bolick (1993, p257), although none of the examples listed come from secure contexts. For similar examples on the PAS database, see: NMS-69EC22; NMS-464E72; KENT-DCA976.

A complete silver Roman denarius of Faustina I; a posthumous issue minted after her death in 141 AD. Mint: Rome. Reece Period 7. Cf. RIC III, p70, No. 351; for a discussion of the type, cf. RIC III, p15-16. Obverse: Draped bust facing right, with upswept coifed hair. Obverse legend: DIVA FAVSTINA Reverse: Providentia (?) standing left, holding back veil left, which is blown out behind her head; right hand outstretched holding globe. Reverse legend: AETVR-NITAS

SUSS-7FD4D5: COIN
A complete silver Roman denarius of Commodus struck under Marcus Aurelius (175-192 AD). Mint: Rome, 178 AD. Reece Period 8. Cf. RIC III, p 266, No. 650 var. However, this obverse type is clearly not draped or cuirassed. Obverse: Laureate bust facing right. Obverse legend: L AUREL COMMODVS AVG Reverse: Possibly Roma standing left, holding Victory and downward-pointing spear. Reverse legend: TRP III IMP (II) COS PP

SUSS-7FAB24: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast copper alloy gilded Early Medieval brooch, of Anglo-Saxon Small Square-headed Brooch type, c. 475-575 AD. The remains of the brooch comprise of the upper portion of the catchplate, which is sub-rectangular in plan, with abbreviated lateral lobes and cusped projections above, ultimately tapering below towards the terminal, now missing. The decorative scheme on this fragment would have been continuous from the segments above and below. It consists of a raised cruciform pattern positioned centrally in the segment, which terminates in old breaks at the top and bottom of the fragment and widens into a series of concentric half-rings at the lateral ends, which are also truncated by old breaks; the centre of the raised cruciform design is an incised ring-and-dot. All four outer edges created by the central design have a further curved, raised line following the interior angles of the cruciform shape. The two upper cusped projections are semi-crescentic in plan and are filled with a Style I zoomorphic motif, which is difficult to interpret due to wear in this area. The lower two angles have a further raised line following the contours of the central cross and raised ridge mentioned above. Gilding is evident in all of these areas and it seems that the front surface of the brooch would have been fully covered with gilded decoration; no traces of niello inlay common to these brooches remains. The reverse surface is undecorated, but the sub-rectangular catchplate is intact, with a small inward-curving outer edge to hold the pin. The catchplate is positioned centrally in the upper half of the fragment. The brooch missing its rectangular head-plate and hinge, pin, arched bow and the rest of the catchplate, including the foot. All of the brooch body elements would have been further decorated and gilded. The colour of the copper alloy exposed by missing gilding and on the reverse is of an even dark green patina. The fragment measures 20.8 mm long, 21.1 mm wide, 7.5 mm thick (at catchplate) and weighs 3.64 grams. A similar example may be seen in MacGregor and Bolick 1993, p123, No. 14.9. Cf. PAS database example: IOW-E3AF33, with similar decoration and suggested dating.

SUSS-7F48D1: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Early Medieval disc brooch; attributed to early Anglo-Saxon usage, c. 5th-6th centuries AD. The brooch is a large, flat-sectioned circular disc measuring 33.6 mm in diameter, with decoration consisting of a centre point around which a scriber has been rotated around to create a circle (11 mm diameter) and a larger circle closely following the perimeter of the disc (30.3 mm diameter). No further decoration is visible, except for sparse indications of surface tinning. On the reverse surface, two sub-rectangular lugs are attached to the perimeter edge of the disc, positioned across the diameter of the brooch from one another; it is unclear due to corrosion which one of these 'lugs' represents the pin hinge and which represents the pin catch, or whether this could be a double-hinged version. A segment of the iron pin is attached to both 'lugs', with tapering pin; one pin segment measures 6.78 mm long and 2.2 mm thick with a lug thickness of 3.77 mm; the other pin segment measures 16.7 mm long and 3.37 mm thick with a lug thickness of 3.4 mm. The front surface of the brooch is in relatively poor condition; in spite of some areas having a mottled dark green patina and holding indications of tinning, an area on the front surface coinciding to the axis of the iron pin is rough in texture and reddish brown in colour. This is perhaps due to the thinness of the brooch face itself in contrast to the thickness and level of corrosion of the pin. For a discussion on similar types of Early Medieval Disc Brooches, see MacGregor and Bolick 1993, pp57-68.

A complete Roman nummus of the House of Constantine, under Constantine II (330-335 AD). Mint: Uncertain. Reece Period 17. Reverse Type: Two soldiers, two standards; legend missing. This was well-circulated reverse type for nummi of this period and as such, was minted in many locations, including Rome, Constantinople, Lyon and Trier. Cf. RIC VII, Index II, p740 for complete list of mints and examples of this reverse type. Obverse: Laureate, probably cuirassed, bust facing right. Obverse legend: CONS[...] [...] Reverse Type: Two soldiers standing facing one another, each holding spear in outer hand, inner hand resting on shield set on ground; between them, two standards. Reverse Legend: Missing [GLORIA EXERCITVS]

SUSS-7EE246: COIN
A complete copper alloy Roman As of Claudius (41-54 AD). Minted in Rome, c. 41-50 AD. Reece Period 2. RIC I, Plate 16; No. 100, p128. Obverse: Bare head facing left. Obverse legend: [TI] [CLAV]DIVS CAESAR AVG P M TRP IM[P] Reverse: S-C to left and right of Minerva moving right, helmeted and draped; right hand hurling javelin, round shield on left arm. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is from the Iberian Peninsula I, Workshop B, mint.

SUSS-7E8614: MOUNT
A nearly complete cast copper alloy zoomorphic decorative mount, probably from the Medieval period, c. 12th-c. 13th century AD. The mount seems to be in the figure of either an aquatic mammal, such as a beaver or otter, or more likely, a stylised interpretation of a dog or lion. The mount is sub-rectangular in plan and in general is comprised of two body segments connected by a narrow torso: the front segment consists of a head (12.72 mm thick) and neck (12.50 mm thick) with two front 'paws' rising vertically from the base of the mount; the second segment consists of a wide haunch with two back 'paws' and the remains of one of two original sub-rectangular strips terminating in what seems to be a circular rivet hole to secure the mount. Two deeply incised vertical lines behind the head and positioned before the torso on both sides suggest a stylised mane. The head and neck are both oval in cross-section. The only features visible on the animal's face are a slightly pointed 'nose' or 'snout' and two circular depressions for eyes; one of the eyes is still inlaid with a black or possibly blue glass or stone 'eye'. The area indicating legs and the animal's chest curves outwards underneath the neck and forms part of the mount base. The legs or 'paws' are very short and sub-oval in section; it is possible that they were originally longer, but this is unclear due to corrosion in this area. Behind the vertically-incised lines, the torso is positioned in two nearly symmetrical tapering segments; the first segment tapers inward towards the narrow mid-point of the waist and then widens back out connecting into the haunches. The haunches are sub-oval in plan and roughly semi-circular in cross-section due to the concave curve on its underside. The legs or 'paws' on the rear of the animal are much flatter in cross-section than the front ones. At the top of the haunches near the centre, another circular depression similar to the eye sockets suggests that it would have been inlaid similarly. On the right side of the rear of the animal, a sub-rectangular flat-sectioned and integrally-cast strip protrudes with a semi-circular broken end. It seems likely that this end would have originally been circular and potentially used for further attachment from the upper surface. It is also likely that indication of wear at a similar position on the left rear side could be indication that this had another similar attachment strip and loop. The underside of the mount is undecorated, but has two thick mount lugs of slightly different thickness, both roughly oval in section. The underside near to the head and neck is flat in comparison to the underside of the haunches and the mount lug covers most of that area. The rear segment of the mount surrounding the second lug is significantly concave, unlike the mount strip connected to the end, which is flat to the surface of the front segment, torso, and rear legs. Overall measurements: 42.4 mm long, 23.3 mm high (at front), 19.4 mm wide (maximum); weight: 30.62 grams.

SUSS-7E3463: STRAP FITTING
A very corroded cast copper alloy strap fitting with a looped end, probably dating to the Medieval period. The fitting comprises of a single bar which is bent back on itself through a 180 degrees expanded loop. The two arms would have sandwiched the strap which was held in place by two large copper-alloy domed head rivets, the remains of which still survive. There are other examples recorded on the PAS database: cf. DOR-7E60D6; IOW-491836. The precise purpose of the fitting is unknown but it could possibly be an attachment for suspending a purse or keys. Objects of this type have been dated as early as Roman but the greater consensus places them in the Medieval period circa 1350-1500 AD. It measures 47 mm long, 17 mm wide, 7 mm thick and weighs 8.5 grams.

SUSS-7DCD04: MOUNT
An incomplete and corroded Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount. The mount is flat and sub-rectangular with a single square-cross-section integral prong projecting at right angles from the centre of the reverse side. The tip of the prong is missing from an old break. The front face is decorated with a raised border within which there is a foliate scroll in the form of an elaborate "S". The foliate form of decoration is perhaps more suggestive of a Post Medieval date. The single square-pin indicates the mount could possibly be from an item of furniture or a casket. . The mount has a high degree of greenish-white encrustation on both surfaces; it is possible that this could indicate a degree of enamel inlay on the front surface, however it is not common to find this type of inlay on the reverse face near the mount pin. The mount measures 18.9mm long, 8.7mm wide and 7.9mm thick (including pin). Compare WAW-DEF198, CORN-631604, NMGW-38DDD3 (with no rivet) which are all similar but which have been assigned a variety of different dates.

SUSS-1F78D6: COIN
A very worn and clipped Post Medieval threepence of Elizabeth I (1558-1603 AD). North Second Issue, dating to 1575 AD. Initial mark likely an Eglantine, but impossible to see due to clipping and wear. Obverse depicts her crowned bust facing left, with rose behind her head on right; reverse depicts square-topped shield with long cross fourchee dividing legend and date '1575' on top of shield. Cf. North 1991 (Vol II), No. 1998. Obverse: ELIZABETH:D:G:ANG:FR(A) (ET or Z) (HIB) (REGINA) Reverse: (POS)VI/DEV'AD/IVTOR(E)/(M:MEV)

SUSS-1EE693: COIN
A very worn and bent Medieval silver long cross penny, of unknown ruler, probably from Edward I-III (1272-1377 AD) . The exposed surface is the reverse face, reading: 'CIVI-[TAS] [CAN]-[T]OR, suggesting that the mint was Canterbury. Nothing is visible from the obverse face and the bend in the coin is filled with soil. The style of the 'C' in CIVITAS is open, indicating that it could date to as early as the reign of Edward I (1272-1307 AD); combined with a simple cross pattee and Canterbury mint a ruler later than Edward III is unlikely.

SUSS-1DBBE2: COIN
A worn Post Medieval silver halfgroat of the Commonwealth period (1649-1660 AD). The coin was minted at the Tower mint in London. North; English Hammered Coinage Vol 2 (1975); p173, No.2728.

SUSS-1DA0B2: SCABBARD
An incomplete, cast copper alloy late Medieval or early Post Medieval scabbard chape, c. late 15th-16th century AD. Remains of the chape consist of a small portion of the sub-rectangular upper segment attached to a nearly complete sub-oval lower segment and an abraded end knop. The chape is generally C-shaped in cross section, with a flat perimeter edge surrounding the thin dished reverse face. The lower oval segment is decorated with moulded transverse and radiating ridges, and a portion of the cordate and trefoil openwork in the front. The chape would have had a separate back-plate, now missing, and possibly a scooped or serrated upper edge. For similar examples cf. Read 2001, Vol 1, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, No 685; Ward-Perkins 1967 (reprint), Fig. 88, No. 9.

SUSS-1D81B1: TOKEN
A Post Medieval copper alloy trade token of Edmund Middleton, dated to 1666. Obverse: EDMVND.MIDDLETON.OF = The Haberdashers' Arms. Reverse: LEWIS.IN.SVSSEX.1666 = E . E . M. For a comparable example, cf. Williamson (rev.ed) 1891, Trade Tokens Issued in the Seventeenth Century By Corporations, Merchants, Tradesmen, Etc. Vol 2, p1175, No 114. For PAS database parallels, cf. SUSS-5715C6; SUSS-F5C9E1; SUSS-27C1F4; SUSS-4FDDD3.

SUSS-1C7B00: TOKEN
A worn and corroded Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token. Powell Type 2. The token is sub-circular in plan and on the front face are the initials 'EE'; with the first 'E' in retrograde and the second conventionally oriented. Alternatively the initials could read IE where the 'I' has a short central transverse ligament. The reverse side is plain with a raised periphery. Lead tokens of this form have a wide date range but those with initials generally date from c. 1550-1800 AD.

SUSS-1C52B1: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
An incomplete and corroded early Post Medieval cast copper alloy eye from a dress clasp fastener. The object is sub-oval in shape with three trifoliate attachment knops, one located at the end of the oval and one at either side of the fastener; each knop is pierced by a circular hole. At the other end of the oval there is a rectangular loop, part of the outer frame of which is missing from an old break. The oval is decorated with a scrolled foliate design which is symmetrical along its long axis. Similar blunt hook and eye clasps are shown in Read; Hooked Clasps and Eyes (2008) p170-171, which he classifies as early Post Medieval Class A type 2.

SUSS-1C2CA5: MOUNT
A corroded, stamped copper alloy sexfoil mount, probably dating to the Medieval period. The object is formed into a cup-shape with a sexfoil rim; each of the petals is bent outwards and downwards. The outside of the cup is fluted along the line of each petal towards the base of the cup. At the centre point of the base there is a small circular hole for the rivet, now missing. Egan and Pritchard (1991) suggest that faceted sexfoil mounts are in common use by the mid-14th century and continue late into the 15th century AD. Furthermore, a similar mount is shown in Read; Metal Artefacts of Antiquity (2001) p13/15 No.107, which he dates to circa 1350-1400 AD. However, the example shown does not have the turned-down petals or the fluted surface, both of which may be suggestive of a later date.

SUSS-1BE837: VESSEL
A fragment of a cast copper-alloy cauldron, dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods. No further details recorded.

SUSS-1BB3C1: VESSEL
A rim fragment from a Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper alloy vessel, circa 1200-1700 AD. The vessel rim projects outwards to create a raised collar around the rim of the pot. There is no further decoration on the vessel surface. The fragment measures 38.9 mm long, 32.1 mm wide and 3.74 mm thick; it weighs 16.02 grams. The curvature of the rim suggests the diameter of the original vessel was approximately 26cm. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries.

SUSS-1B8365: KNIFE
A nearly complete iron knife blade and tang, probably dating to either the Roman or Medieval periods (c. 1st-4th c; c. 11th-15th century AD). The knife consists of a blade which is sub-triangular in plan, with a nearly straight back and slightly curved edge; the tang tapers, is square-shaped in section and is positioned on the midline of the blade. A portion of the tang seems to have broken off at the end, and the tip of the blade has been bent backwards onto itself. The iron surface is intact, but highly corroded, with some slivers sheering off easily. The knife measures 129 mm long; 28.1 mm wide; 8.4 mm thick; and weighs 56.29 grams. Knives of this shape and size were used throughout a large period of activity; therefore it is difficult to date these objects outside of secure archaeological contexts. Further assessment, such as x-ray analysis, would help to determine the method of manufacture, which could further indicate a particular period of use. William Manning identifies a similar type in Catalogue of the Romano-British Iron Tools, Fittings and Weapons in the British Museum, Fig 28, Type 16, pp 114-116; Plate 55.

SUSS-1B4780: COIN
A worn and clipped Post Medieval silver penny of Henry VIII (1509-1547 AD). The coin was minted under Bishop Thomas Ruthall at the Durham mint. The coin is first coinage 1509-1526 AD and has a lis initial mark. Cf. North 1991, English Hammered Coinage Vol II, p110, No.1776.

SUSS-1B3210: COIN
A worn Medieval silver long cross penny probably of Edward I (1272-1307 AD). The coin was minted in Canterbury and is most likely Class 10cf and as such it would date from 1302-1310 AD. Although the date range is transitional across the reigns of Edward I and Edward II (1307-1327 AD) all class 10 coins are for convenience generally assigned to Edward I. North; English Hammered Coinage Vol 2 (1975) p24; No. 1038-1042.

SUSS-1AF8B0: COIN
A worn Medieval silver farthing of Edward I (1272-1307 AD) or Edward II (1307-1327 AD). Class 3de. The coin was minted in York between circa 1300 and 1310 AD and therefore overlaps the reign of the two monarchs. North 1991, English Hammered Coinage Vol 2, p33, No.1053/2.

SUSS-F7B9D7: COIN
A clipped silver halfgroat of Edward III (1327-1377 AD). London mint, Series D, dating to 1352-1353 AD. The clipped portion corresponds to the beginning of 'EDWARDVS' on the obverse (see numismatic data below). Cf. North 1154-1155; also PAS database record LIN-8535B7.

SUSS-F7A8D4: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy Post Medieval shoe buckle, dating to c. 1690-1720 AD. The buckle consists of a sub-rectangular buckle frame, a chape with single internal spike, and a sub-triangular pin; all complete. The buckle frame and components are curved convex in order to sit comfortably against the shoe. The frame is drilled through the centre for a separate spindle; from the high degree of iron corrosion located at the central spindle, it is seems that it was composed of iron instead of copper alloy like the rest of the buckle. The buckle measures: 46.8 mm long, 38.1 mm wide, 5 mm maximum thickness and weighs 25.79 grams. For an identical example cf. Whitehead 2003, No. 662.

SUSS-F78088: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy Post Medieval buckle, dating to c. 1500-1650 AD. The remains of the buckle consist of a portion of the buckle frame, which is sub-rectangular in plan, with a D-shaped opening to the loop and a narrowed strap bar. Although very corroded, the remains of moulded decoration are visible, including collared barrel moulding on the outer edge of the loop and a smaller raised knop at each outer corner, with traces of a raised floriate or foliate design in between. There is a larger knop at either end of the strap bar. Further decoration is unclear due to corrosion and wear. To the other side of the strap bar, a small segment of a second loop or splayed feet remain; due to the thickness of the frame at the breaks it is likely that this buckle frame was a double looped oval buckle, instead of a single loop, sub-rectangular buckle with splayed feet (cf. Whitehead 2003, 29). Although its pin is missing, evidence of iron corrosion on the strap bar suggests that the pin would have been made of iron instead of copper alloy. Traces of possible black lacquer remain on the outer surface. The reverse face is undecorated and flat. The remains of the frame measure: 24.3 mm long, 21.6 mm wide, 3.4 mm thick and weigh 3.7 grams. For a more ornate example of this type, cf. Whitehead 2003, No. 427.

SUSS-F748A7: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy D-shaped single loop buckle, dating to the mid Medieval to early Post Medieval periods c. 1250-1500 AD. The buckle frame is decorated simply with a raised rib following the perimeter of the inner edge of the frame; the strap bar is narrowed but not off-set. The pin is sub-rectangular and simply wrapped around the strap bar; there are signs of wear where the pin would have rotated on the strap bar, but it is unclear whether a depression for the pin was cast into the frame. The tip of the pin is bent slightly to sit flush against the frame. The end of the pin nearest the strap bar is decorated simply with a small horizontal raised line flanking the top and bottom of what looks like a capital 'I' with cross bars. The reverse surface of the frame is undecorated and slightly rounded similar to the front surface. It measures 33 mm long, 26.9 mm wide, 7.7 mm thick and weighs 7.91 grams. For similar examples, cf. Whitehead 2003, p18.

SUSS-F6CA82: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval double loop sub-oval buckle with separate pin strap and pin bar, c. 1350-1450 AD. The remains of the buckle consist of an oval main loop and most of the rectangular strap loop, missing less than 25%. There is a slight indentation for the pin rest on the oval loop and some differential wear on the frame where the missing pin would have been attached. It measures 23.4 mm long, 23.2 mm wide, 3.3 mm thick and weighs 2.41 grams. For a close parallel, cf. Whitehead 2003, No. 540.

SUSS-F66084: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy double loop annular buckle, dating to the Medieval to Post Medieval periods (c. 1350-1650 AD). The remains consist of a thin circular frame and narrowed central bar, missing its pin and buckle plate. The frame has been compressed, probably from post-deposition activity, which has resulted in a bend in the central strap bar and a more oval appearance to the frame. The frame measures 46 mm long, 38.6 mm wide, 3.2 mm thick and weighs 7.64 grams. Annular buckles were used for an extended period of time and for a wide range of applications; therefore it is difficult to specifically date examples found outside of stratified archaeological context. For similar examples of annular buckles, cf. Whitehead 2003, pp44-45, esp. No. 253.

SUSS-C69FC1: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval strap slider, dating to c. 1250-1400 AD. The slider consists of a single, sub-rectangular loop with a drilled hole for a separate internal rivet. A portion of the rivet remains in the hole, but the majority of the rivet is now missing. The upper edge of the slider is sub-oval in section and the other three sides are all varying degrees of thickness and rectangular in section. The slider has a uniform dark jade green patina and is fairly corroded. It measures 16.8 mm long, 15.1 mm wide, 2.7 mm max. thickness and weighs 2.95 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234-235) illustrate a similar example, No. 1248, which they assign to a late 13th to 14th century date.

SUSS-C66B55: COIN
An incomplete and corroded Post Medieval copper alloy Royal farthing token of Charles I (1625-1649 AD). Approximately 20% of the flan is missing as a result of old damage. The initial mark is most probably a fleece and the coin dates from 1625-1634 AD. The obverse is a single arched crown with sceptres in saltire, and the legend CARO D [G MAG BRIT]. The reverse shows a crowned harp with the legend [FRA ET] HIB REX. The coin is a type 1(c); North, English Hammered Coinage Vol 2 (1991) p164; No. 2277

SUSS-C654C3: SWORD BELT
A complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy belt mount, probably for use as a sword belt hanger. In plan the mount is comprised of a tapering rectangle with an inward facing chevron shape at one end and a narrowed rectangular backward looping closed hook at the other. The hook retains a separate circular ring (1.8mm diameter cross-section) with the slight remains of casting sprue on opposite sides. The main body has two circular rivet holes on its central axis, one of which has substantial iron remains on the reverse side. The upper face of the mount has rounded edges and the reverse face is slightly dished. It is 40.1mm long, 13.4mm wide, 7mm thick and weighs 3.64g. These mounts are generally associated with use as sword hangers, albeit this particular example is not very robust and may have supported something of lesser weight. Mounts of this type are usually assigned a 17th century date.

SUSS-C62AC7: TOKEN
A complete copper alloy Post Medieval local trade token issued by Tailor Ambrose Galloway, in Lewes in Sussex, dated to 1667 AD. Side 1: * AMBROSE GALLOWAY/1667 Side 2: *IN.LEWIS:IN.SVSEX/*G*//AE Cf. BW112; for similar PAS database examples cf: SUR-555AD7; SUR-892607; SUSS-973486; SUSS-39B397; SUSS-199F28.

SUSS-C5FD77: COIN
A worn Post Medieval silver halfpenny of Charles I (1225-1649 AD). The coin has a rose on both sides and has no legend or initial mark. It was minted at the Tower mint in London under the King between 1625-1642 AD. North, English Hammered Coinage Vol 2 (1991) p163 No. 2274.

SUSS-C5E432: COIN
A copper alloy Roman coin, probably a nummus of the 4th century AD. It is impossible to attribute this coin to a particular emperor due to its highly corroded state. Obverse:head facing right; legend illegible. Reverse illegible.

SUSS-C5CCB5: COIN
A copy of a Claudian as, dating to the period AD 41 to 54. Unclear reverse type, although it may be of the Minerva type. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a contemporary copy of those minted at the Lyon II, à la Petite Tête.

SUSS-C5A313: TOKEN
A complete copper alloy flat and circular Post Medieval token halfpenny of John Draper; Market Place, Lewes, dated to c. 1650-1670 AD. Obv. IOHN DRAPER IN LEWES; lion rampant facing left. Rev. *BY.THE.MARKET.PLACE; D.//IF For a similar example from the PAS database cf.: SUSS-65FD1; SUSS-34A391.

SUSS-C53636: COIN
Two worn and corroded Post Medieval copper alloy rose farthings of Charles 1st (1625-1649 AD). The obverses have a single arched crown with two sceptres in saltire through it. The legend is difficult to discern but would read CAROLU(S) D G MA(G) BRI. The reverses show a single rose surmounted by a single arched crown with the legend FRA ET HI(B) REX. The coins are type 2 and can be dated to 1636-1644 AD. North; English Hammered Coinage Vol 2 (1975); p140; No. 2291.

SUSS-C4B9F5: AXEHEAD
An incomplete Neolithic knapped flint axe, consisting of the broken butt-end of the axehead (c. 3500-2100 BC). Type A. The remains are sub-triangular in plan, with a narrowed, almost pointed butt end and a small portion of the axe body. The axehead has been well-knapped over both surfaces and there are extensive covering removals. It has a lentoid cross-section. A break, likely due to use, has fractured the axehead and the latter portion of the tool including the rounded cutting edge is now missing; the remaining portion probably consists of between 1/3-1/2 of the original length, but this is difficult to determine from the remains and the axehead could have been significantly longer. It has a heavy chalk patina making all of the external surfaces evenly white. The remains measure 73.2 mm long, 39.23 mm wide (at broken end), 19.55 mm wide (tip), 21.12 (max thickness), and weighs 60 grams.

SUSS-C44E13: WASTE
A knapped flint waste flake dating to the Bronze Age, c. 2150-800 BC. The flake has a very large bulb of percussion and ripples on the ventral face; the dorsal face has three blade removals. There is a small area of possible retouch visible on the dorsal face, but the condition of the cherty flint makes the evaluation of this difficult and the extent of the possible retouch suggests that this flake was not used as a tool. It measures 59.5 mm long, 40.2 mm wide, 10.4 mm thick and weighs 25.61 grams.

SUSS-C3C037: AXEHEAD
A severely damaged fragment of a Neolithic polished handaxe, c. 3500-2100 BC. Although some original polished surface remains, the area nearing the mid-point of the axehead body has been broken off unevenly and there is severe damage on what would have originally been the butt or blade edge. It is possible that the latter is due to purposeful preliminary reworking of the edge, but this is by no means certain. The original surfaces are of a light grey patina with some orange staining, probably from the soil at the area of deposition; areas of breakage are of a similar grey colour, but lighter and duller in quality. The cross section of the axe fragment is roughly sub-oval or lozenge-shaped. The axehead measures 56.5 mm long, 48.1 mm wide, 29.2 mm thick and weighs 87.98 grams. Possibly Butler Type A, thick-butted handaxes (cf. Butler 2005, Fig. 59, No. 2).

SUSS-C38403: AXEHEAD
A severely damaged fragment of a Neolithic polished handaxe, c. 3500-2100 BC. It is likely that this fragment constitutes the blade-end of the axehead. Although some of the original polished surface remains on both sides, most of the surface area is scarred from damage, presumably while in situ. The axehead is of a mottled light grey to dark grey patina with some larger natural chert inclusions. The cross-section of the axe fragment is of a narrow oval shape. The fragment measures 31.1 mm long; 56.8 mm wide, 18.5 mm thick and weighs 37.71 grams. Possibly Butler Type B, thin-butted handaxes (cf. Butler 2005, Fig. 59, Nos. 3, 5).

SUSS-C33707: VESSEL
Two ceramic sherds from two different types of Roman vessel. The first is a small body sherd from a thin-walled vessel, possibly a cup or small bowl; the fabric is reddish-orange in colour and there is a thin dark grey core throughout; the sherd is broken on all edges. It measures 28.54 mm long; 26.01 mm wide; 5.21 mm thick and weighs 5.37 grams. The second sherd is a body sherd of a thicker vessel with perhaps one purposeful decorative finger print impression; it is uncertain which way the sherd is meant to be oriented. The surface is highly abraded and pitted, probably from damage due to the deposition; the sherd is generally reddish-orange in colour, with some areas of surface blackening probably due to reducing during the kilning process. It is not possible to see the core of this sherd. The second sherd is 43.05 mm long; 35.83 mm wide; 11.49 mm thick and weighs 24.26 grams. These sherds were found within 10 meters of a medium segment of Roman tegula (roof tile) by the same finder.

SUSS-C2FC72: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A flint horseshoe type scraper of the Neolithic period (3500-2100 BC). The struck flake is sub-circular in shape and is a mottled grey to dark grey in colour. There is a significant bulb of percussion on the dorsal face with concoidal waves indicating the striking platform at the proximal end. The striking platform was on the original cortex of the flint. The distal end and left and right edges have semi-abrupt retouch. There is some damage to the retouched edge but the majority of removal is of the parallel or sub-parallel type.

SUSS-9E7BE4: COIN
A worn and corroded Post Medieval copper alloy Type 2 rose farthing of Charles I (1625-1649 AD). The obverse shows a single arched crown with two sceptres in saltire through it. The reverse is a single rose surmounted by a single arched crown. Possible initial mark: crescent (reverse). The coin dates from 1636-1644 AD. North; English Hammered Coinage (1991) p165; No.2291

SUSS-9E5D96: COIN
A worn Medieval silver 'long cross' penny, Henry VI (restored; AD 1470-1); mint: London; North 1622.

SUSS-9E1324: COIN
An Iron Age silver unit, attributed to Epaticcus (c. 20-40 AD). Obv. Bust facing right, wearing lionskin; EPATI; Rev.: Eagle standing left. ABC 1346, VA 580, BMC 2024-2293.

SUSS-9DEA43Z: TOKEN
A Post Medieval cast lead alloy bi-faced token, dating to c. 1500-1850 AD. Due to the wear on both surfaces of the token, it is difficult to determine what is depicted and hence, a positive identification of Powell Type is unlikely. This token seems to have a raised initial 'H' or possibly a number '11' on one face and a curvilinear raised decoration on the other. It measures 17.3 mm in diameter, 2.3 mm thick, and weighs 3.28 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with initials and this type of decoration are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.

SUSS-9DD553: CHAPE
A copper alloy sheet curled into a tube, possibly a Medieval lace chape, dating to c. 1250-1450 AD. The tube tapers into a pressed point at one end, has a regular edge-to-edge seam and has been flattened at the top near its upper straight edge, probably after deposition. This example does not have the small rivet common to many Medieval lace chapes. It measures 46.9 mm long, 6.9 mm wide, 0.7 mm thick, and weighs 1.53 grams. For similar chapes cf. Egan and Pritchard 2002, Figs. 182-184, esp. No. 1406.

SUSS-9CA603: COIN
A Post Medieval silver sixpence of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). The coin has a pheon initial mark and was minted at London tower mint in 1564. The obverse legend reads ELIZABETH D G AN FR ET HI REGINA; and the reverse POSVI? DEV AD/IVTORE/M MEV. There is very slight damage to the periphery of the coin but otherwise it is unclipped and complete; North, English Hammered Coinage (1991) p134, No.1997.

SUSS-9C7AB1: FURNITURE FITTING
An incomplete and corroded copper alloy Post Medieval object, most likely a fragment of a furniture drop handle. The handle is cast in relatively thick material and bears remains of gilding on the exterior surface. There is a sub-rectangular loop comprising the attachment end, the base of which is thickened and curved towards the rest of the handle. The loop is scalloped on either side to form an integral neck that expands back into the shoulders of the main body of the handle. A raised chevron extends from the shoulders of the handle to a point towards its free end. At the apex of the chevron, the rest of the handle is missing from old breaks. It is likely that the overall plan of the remainder of the handle would have been sub-rectangular in shape that terminated in two sideways flared projections. The remains of the handle measures 37.5 mm long, 15.5 mm wide, 4.1 mm thick, and weighs 7.9 grams. For a similar PAS database example, cf. YORYM-1C1398. These types of handles generally date to c. 1700-1800 AD.

SUSS-9C55F1: COIN
A worn and heavily corroded Post Medieval copper alloy Type 2 rose farthing of Charles I (1625-1649 AD). The obverse shows a single arched crown with two sceptres in saltire through it. The reverse is a single rose surmounted by a single arched crown. The coin dates from 1636-1644 AD. North; English Hammered Coinage (1991) p165; No.2291

SUSS-9C36B5: COIN
A worn and clipped Medieval silver long cross penny of Edward I (1272-1307 AD). From the reverse legend it is evident that the coin was minted at Berwick on Tweed. North, English Hammered Coinage Vol 2 (1991) p39; Class 4.

SUSS-9C23B5: COIN
An incomplete Medieval silver long cross penny of Edward I (1272-1307 AD). The coin has lost a section of the flan outside the beaded border from a 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock position on the obverse. The reverse legend reads CIVI/TAS/LON/D[ON] indicating the coin was minted at the London mint. The form of drapery and the style of the crown suggest that this coin is a Class 3(b); North English Hammered Coins Vol 2 (1991) p28; No.1017. The coin date of issue is 1280 AD.

SUSS-9BFAD2: COIN
A very worn Iron Age silver quarter stater of the Durotriges tribe. Due to wear the coin is very difficult to resolve, but the obverse shows a heavily stylised boat with oars below and three occupants above. The reverse has a zigzag representation of a lightning thunderbolt. The type is commonly referred to as the "three men in a boat" design. A very similar example is shown in Rudd, Antique British Coins (2010) p112; No.2211. VA 1249, BMC 2748-79

SUSS-9BC7A6: BUCKLE
A corroded Medieval cast copper alloy double looped buckle. The buckle has two sub-oval loops either side of a central strap bar. The buckle is flat on the rear face and D-shaped in cross section. There is significant iron corrosion on the strap bar and the frame indicating the former presence of an iron pin. Similar buckles are shown in Egan, Dress Accessories (2002) p83; No 337 and are dated by ceramic association to 1400-1450 AD.

SUSS-9BB0F2: VESSEL
Two cast copper alloy vessel fragments from separate vessels, probably Medieval in date. It is likely the smaller fragment originates from a cooking vessel such as a cauldron, whereas the larger fragment may form part of an ewer or skillet. The smaller fragment is thicker walled, has a pronounced everted rim and has traces of sooting on the external surface; it measures an approximate 14 cm rim diameter and is 5.63 mm thick at rim and 1.89 mm thick wall. The larger fragment is finer in fabric and decoration with circumferential ridges on the interior and exterior walls and a slightly flared rim; its approximate rim diameter measures 15.5 cm and is 2.61 mm thick at rim and 1.62 mm thick vessel wall. Their total weight is 18.13 grams. Based upon ceramic dating from secure contexts, Egan (1998, pp161-164) identifies cast copper alloy vessel fragments such as these to various phases ranging from c. 1150-1450 AD.

SUSS-9B76D3: COIN
A very corroded Roman copper alloy radiate coin of unknown emperor. Nothing survives of the obverse other than a very degraded radiate bust facing right. The reverse is similarly corroded and possibly has a single standing figure. The coin is crudely made and is in all likelyhood a contemporary 'barbarous' copy.

SUSS-9B5E21: COIN
An extremely worn and bent sixpence probably of William III (1694-1702). Very little detail remains but there is sufficient to tentatively attribute it to the reign of William III and date it to 1697. The degree of wear and the S-shaped bend is indicative of its subsequent potential re-use as a love token.

A heavily worn and clipped Post Medieval silver sixpence of Elizabeth I (1558-1603 AD). The coin is London mint and is dated above the shield on the reverse to 1566. The initial mark is illegible.

SUSS-9B2553: JETTON
A corroded Post Medieval copper alloy rose and orb jetton of Hanns Krauwinckel II (1586-1635 AD ). The obverse has alternate lis and crowns arranged centrifugally around a central rose, with the legend HANNS KRAUWICKEL IN NURENBE. The reverse has a twin-banded elaborate trefoil surrounding a central orb and the legend VEREUM DOMINI MANET IN ETERN which translates from the latin as "The word of God is eternal".

SUSS-9B0106: SEAL
An incomplete and corroded Post Medieval Lead alloy wool seal. One side of the seal is sub-circular in shape and is impressed with a crown over a shield emblazoned with the arms of England. There is a rectangular section missing from the 10 o'clock position on this face. On the reverse side there is an integral stub which has probably been pushed through the cloth and then flattened back on itself to fasten like a rivet. The impressed surface is showing evidence of a design in the form of three strands and several circular depressions. A similar seal is illustrated and described in Egan; Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum (Occasional paper 1995) p40/41 and Fig 19; No.170. The seal is associated with the wool trade in London and is assigned a date in the latter part of the16th century.

SUSS-772DE0: COIN
A worn Medieval silver short cross cut halfpenny from the reign of King John (1199-1216 AD) or Henry III 1216-1272 AD). The moneyer is PIERES which together with the obverse detail on the coin means the mint is either Chichester or Durham. The coin would date from circa 1204-1222 AD.

A worn and clipped Medieval short cross cut halfpenny probably of Henry III (1216-1272 AD). The moneyer is probably ROBERT and the mint Canterbury and as such the coin dates from 1222-1242 AD. Probably North, English Hammered Coinage vol 2 (1994) p223; No. 979/980.

SUSS-76F7C4: COIN
A worn and corroded Medieval silver short cross cut halfpenny of Henry III (1216-1272 AD). The moneyer is LEDVLF and the coin was minted in London. Class 7b/c; North, English Medieval Hammered Coinage vol 2 (1994) p223; No.979/980. The coin dates from 1222-1242 AD.

SUSS-76D6D5: COIN
A worn and clipped Medieval silver short cross penny from the reign of King John (1199-1216 AD) or Henry III (1216-1272 AD). The worn and clipped condition prevents more accurate identification but the mint can be narrowed down to either Winchester or Worcester. The coin is class 5b or higher and dates from 1205-1247 AD.

SUSS-76BA75: STRAP FITTING
A fragment of the toggle-end of an early Post Medieval cast copper alloy toggle-clasp, probably dating to c. 16th-c.17th century AD. The toggle-end fragment consists of a raised and protruding toggle bar at one end, followed by a plate decorated with moulded relief including symmetrically cast bifurcated knops on both sides of a small circular rivet hole. The toggle-end fragment ends abrubtly in an old break through the middle of its open work and moulded relief decoration. It measures 21.9 mm long, 15 mm wide, 4.3 mm thick, and weighs 3.03 grams. In related examples, the complete toggle-end plate would have continued with a larger central circular hole and another circular rivet hole at the opposite end, with symmetrically arranged trefoil knops at the central hole and another set of decorated bifurcate knops at the segment's end. This piece would have fit into the second half of the toggle-clasp which would have been nearly identical, save for the functional end that clasped the raised toggle bar with a cabled collar and other potential elements like a circular suspension hoop (cf. Read 2008, p208, No. 753). These types of toggle-claps would have been riveted to a leather or textile strap (Read 2008, p208). Read has identified this type as an 'Early post-medieval, Type 1' toggle-clasp, although he mentions that 'insufficient information precludes attempting a classification...' (Read 2008, p208). Cf. particularly Read 2008, p209, No. 754.

A Post Medieval silver groat of Henry VII (1485-1509 AD). The groat is a profile issue minted in London, with a pheon initial mark. According to North, English hammered Coinage Vol II (1991) p99, this dates it to between 1507-1509 AD; No.1747.

An extremely worn copper alloy disc, probably a Roman coin of Sestertius denomination. It is impossible to discern any attributes or features that would allow for a positive identification of this coin, except for some bare traces of a raised shape which could indicate the obverse bust.

An extremely worn copper alloy Roman coin of unknown denomination, possibly of imperial period As, Dupondius or Sestertius denomination. Possibly dating to c. 1st-3rd centuries AD; the Dupondius or As was distributed commonly from 37-293 AD, whereas the Sestertius coins most commonly found in Britain date from 50-260 AD, with a focus on the 2nd century. The obverse is completely obliterated by corrosion and there is a panel of a deep green patina. The reverse is also extremely corroded, however in a similar panel of patina to the obverse, the bare outline of a standing female figure holding a cornucopia is visible. It is uncertain how much of the coin is missing and as there are no traces of obverse or reverse legends, a positive identification is impossible.

SUSS-763A02: COIN
An extremely worn copper alloy probable Roman nummus. This coin is too abraded to identify any attributes or features that would allow for a full identification.

An extremely worn Roman dupondius or as, possibly of Trajan or Hadrian (AD 96-138). The reverse type is illegible. Mint unknown. Corrosion has turned the colour of the metal to a mostly dark brown patina, with some patches of a medium jade green.

SUSS-74CC94: MOUNT
A complete cast copper alloy octagonal decorative mount, dating to between the Medieval and Post Medieval periods (c. 1300-1700 AD). The mount is comprised of two concentric octagons in plan, with one a raised boss at the centre and the second creating overall mount head. A single shaft attaches to the underside and has a tapering pointed pyramidal shape with triangular cross-section. It is likely that the spike was integrally cast as damage to the mount has caused the shaft to bend severely and break through the upper panel without disconnecting entirely. The underside is slightly concave, but not hollow. The mount measures 28.5 mm long, 20.8 mm wide, 6.9 mm thick and weighs 5.9 grams. According to Egan and Pritchard (1991, p164) mount-like objects with tapering shanks ending in points with decorative heads are more likely to have been attached to wooden or upholstered furnishings than items of dress, such as leather straps or girdles. Therefore, this object could be considered to be a tack or furniture fitting, as well as a mount.

SUSS-509D44: BUCKLE
A worn fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle, probably dating to the Post Medieval period (c. 1550-1650 AD). The fragment comprises one of the external loops of what is likely to be a double loop oval buckle. The remains of moulded surface decoration can be seen, with barrel moulding in the centre of the loop with traces of what may have been a beaded border to either side of the central decoration. A longer rounded segment flanks the central knop at either side, followed by symmetrically-placed small lobed knops and a further raised ridge at either end. The fragment breaks off before reaching the central strap bar and is missing its pin as well as the rest of the buckle frame. It is very likely that this buckle would have looked similar to an example provided in Whitehead (2003, No. 412), which possesses a similar design and decorative elements. The fragment measures 39.4 mm long, 24.1 mm wide, 3.5 mm thick and weighs 6.24 grams.

SUSS-507EB4: BELL
An incomplete and heavily corroded Post Medieval cast copper alloy clapper bell. At the top of the bell attached to the head there is a large circular suspension loop with a central circular hole. The bell-head is approximately 18mm in diameter and tapers from an angled shoulder to a fluted waist which increases in diameter as it gets closer to the sound ring. The bell diameter at the base of the sound ring is 34.8mm. There is an vertical angled segment of the bell sound ring and waist missing, which comprises approximately 35% of the overall object. Inside the bell there is the corroded remains of an an elongated iron clapper. The bell is probably an animal bell for use with livestock, the design of which changed little over the centuries and accordingly they are assigned a commensurate wide date-range typically from 1500-1900 AD.

SUSS-503B96Z: TOKEN
A corroded Post Medieval cast lead alloy object probably a token or weight. The object is sub-oval in form with a circular hole towards the more pointed . On endone side, there is what could be interpreted as a large arch, and on the other, close to the edge, ears of corn set radially . However, it is not absolutely clear whether these are the result of deliberate design or whether it is post deposition damage that coincidentally mimics these forms. Lead and its alloys are very easy to melt, cast and work, with very little in the way of expertise and tools; consequently it has been used over the centuries for a myriad of purposes. Based on the assumption that the design is at least in part deliberate the object is perhaps more likely to be a token or tally of some form.

SUSS-4FECB6: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy double loop oval buckle, dating from the Medieval to Post Medieval period (c. 1350-1650 AD). Both loops are D-shaped in plan with a narrowed central strap bar; no traces of a pin survive. The buckle is simple and undecorated, with a flat reverse surface and a hemispherical cross-section at the external loops and strap bar. It measures 30.8 mm long, 26.3 mm wide, 2 mm thick, and weighs 2.88 grams. Cf. Whitehead 2003, p53, esp. No. 294.

A copper-alloy Roman coin. No further information recorded.

SUSS-4F4BF8: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman coin. No further information recorded.

SUSS-4EFC43: COIN
A corroded and complete Roman silver denarius of Maximinus I (235-238 AD) dating to the period AD 236 (Reece Period 11). The obverse depicts a laureate and draped bust facing right; legend reads: IMP MAXIMINVS PIVS AVG. The reverse shows Providentia standing left with cornucopia and wand pointed at globe at foot; legend reads: PROVIDENTIA AVG. Mint of Rome. RIC IV, pt 2, p. 141, no. 13; BMC VI, p. 230, nos. 86-88. The coin has a mottled orange-brown discolouration over the majority of its surface but where this has spalled the underlying silver can clearly be seen.

SUSS-4ED743: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A fragment of an unidentified object of unknown period, possibly modern. The object consists of a horn-shaped hollow cast segment of either tin, tin alloy or perhaps a thin sheet of lead alloy, with a resin-like material filling the inside of its hooked form. The moulded decoration on the outside of the object is formed of three consecutive tiers following the overall curved shape of the fragment. The style of the decoration seems to be similar to items in the Art Deco style of the early 20th century; however, this could be a coincidence. The metal is dark grey to chalky white in colour, whereas the interior material is slightly crumbly around the diameter where it comes in contact with the metal and is amber in colour. The overall fragment measures 53.63 mm long, 13.19 mm in diameter at the broken end, 5.43 mm in diameter at its point, 1.06 mm metal thickness and weighs 26.02 grams.

SUSS-4D5958: BIRD FEEDER
A medieval or post-medieval crudely cast lead-alloy container, probably representing a birdfeeder of circa 1400-1700. The cup has a circular base that tapers outwards to a larger, irregularly-shaped rim, forming a sub-cylindrical containment space. The rim of the container has been bent by post-depositional damage. The object would have held water, green plants or seed for a caged bird. There is no sign of decoration or a means of attachment. Egan, Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition (2005: 129), states that the plainer examples of birdfeeders continue into the late 17th century. It is roughly 47 mm in diameter, 20 mm high, with a wall thickness of 3.7 mm. It weighs 98.92 grams. The feeder is mottled buff in colour.

SUSS-4CB9F2: COIN
A worn and corroded probable Medieval silver short cross penny of Henry II (1154-1189 AD). For a coin of the period this example has an unusually large thin flan. Furthermore it has a tinny feel, and lacks definition to the detail. It is a beach find and this unusual condition may be the result of being washed for centuries on the shoreline. Alternatively the coin may be a modern replica that has been lost on the beach. If genuine it was minted in London by the moneyer RAVL and is a type 1b or 1c dating to circa 1180-1189 AD; North English Hammered Coinage vol 1 (1994) p220 No.963/4.

SUSS-29AB16: COIN
A complete silver-washed copper-alloy radiate of the Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), dating to c. AD 279-80 (Reece Period 14). Mint of Lyon, Fifth Series. RIC V, pt. 2, p. 29, no. 106; CHRB XIII, p. 65, no. 887 (4 specimens); Bastien, Le monnayage de l'atelier de Lyon (274-285), no. 211. Obv. VIRTVS PROBI AVG; Radiate and cuirassed bust left, holding spear in right hand and shield in left. Rev..TEMPOR FELICI, Felicitas standing right holding caduceus right and cornucopiae left. Mint of Lyons. RIC V, p. 29, no. 106.

A complete Roman nummus of Emperor Constans (333-350 AD). Minted c. 348-350 AD. Obv.: Pearl diadem, draped, cuirassed bust; legend: [DN] [C]ONST[A]-NSPF AUG. Rev. type: FEL.TEMP.REPAR-ATIO; helmeted soldier, spear in left hand, advancing right, head turned to left; with his right hand, he leads a small bare-headed figure from a hut beneath a tree. Mint mark is illegible and it is impossible to tell the orientation and placement of the spear to correctly determine the mint. Possible mints include: Trier, Lyon, Arles, Aquileia, Siscia, and Thessalonica. Reece Period 18; RIC Vol. VIII (cf. pp 153, 182, 210, 323, 365, 412).

SUSS-290724: AXEHEAD
An incomplete cast copper alloy narrow butted flat axe, dating to the Early Bronze Age (MAIII, c. 2300-2050 BC). The remains of the axe consists of a slightly flared blade and a small portion of the narrowing body. The butt and a portion of the axe body are missing and the remains exhibit an old break across its rectangular-shaped section. It measures 37.9 mm max. length; 37.8 mm max. blade width; 7.96 mm thick at broken end; 1.8 mm thick at blade edge; weighs 37.99 grams. These types of axes are discussed in Roberts 2008, 74-5. Cf. database record: LANCUM-95EBB6.

SUSS-283B56: BULLA
A complete cast lead alloy Papal bulla of Alexander IV (1254-1261 AD). The obverse depicts the heads of St. Paul and St. Peter facing each other with a sceptre in between them. Due to surface damage, the sceptre is unclear. The two heads are surrounded by a semi-circular border of pellets, which then connects to a larger pelleted border around the perimeter of the entire bulla. The legend above the busts reads SPASPE, abbreviations for the names 'Sanctus Paulus, Sanctus Petrus'. The reverse depicts the name of the Pope. The legend reads :ALE/XANDER/ .PP.IIII (written in three lines). This name refers to Alexander IV (1254-1261 AD). An omega is placed above the PP, which indicates that this abbreviation stands for 'Pastor Pastorum' or 'Shepherd of Shepherds'. The lead is now whitish-grey in colour. Ribbon holes can be detected at the top and bottom. The bulla measures 38.2 mm in diameter, 5.4 mm thick, and weighs 45.22 grams. Papal bullae are lead seals which were attached to documents known as bulls, issued by the Papacy. For a similar example on the PAS database cf. SWYOR-33A1C7.

SUSS-282956: BULLA
A complete cast lead alloy Papal bulla of Bonifatius IX (1389-1404). The obverse depicts the heads of St. Paul and St. Peter facing each other with a sceptre in between them. The two heads are surrounded by a semi-circular border of pellets, which then connects to a larger pelleted border around the perimeter of the entire bulla. The legend above the busts reads SPASPE. The reverse depicts the name of the Pope. The legend reads :BONI/FATIVS/ PP:VIIII (written in three lines). This name refers to Bonifatius IX (1389-1404 AD). The lead is now whitish-grey in colour. Ribbon holes can be clearly seen at the top and bottom. The bulla measures 37.3 mm in diameter, 4.8 mm thick, and weighs 44.73 grams. Papal bullae are lead seals which were attached to documents known as bulls, issued by the Papacy. For a close example on the database, cf. SUSS-2F1195; subsequently published in Sussex Archaeological Collections No. 145 (Medieval Seal Matrices and Papal Bullae from Sussex, 2003-2007. Author: Liz Andrews-Wilson and Christopher Wittick).

SUSS-27FC62: BROOCH
An incomplete Anglo-Saxon great square headed brooch, dating to the Early Medieval period (c. 500-600 AD). The remains of the brooch consist of most of the square brooch head and bow, with elaborate decoration; the lower brooch foot, catchplate and pin are missing. The brooch is rectangular in plan and flat in section with a semi-circular sectioned bow. The head is decorated with a prominent, raised square which then has a smaller and thinner raised rectangle within it, in turn framing a stylized anthropomorphic face. Projecting in semi-circular panels at the top and both sides of the outer square panel are similar elaborate and stylized animal motifs. These feature animals with gaping jaws, curved lips, eyes, and in the top case, one foot. A portion of all three semi-circular panels was broken after deposition, particularly the larger panel at the top. Following the decoration on the head plate, the central face design seems to extend down the centre of the bow with a central 'spine', the apex of which is a raised dot. Surrounding the apex of the central 'spine' is another set of raised rectangles, holding matching animals with simplistic eye, mouth, body, and foot. The brooch continues down to what was the foot and catchplate; however only a very small portion of an undulating design on the right side remains. This could have been part of a larger intertwining vegetal or animal design. The reverse surface is plain save for the double lugs in the brooch head which would have fixed the hinge pin to the brooch. The metal of the brooch is dark grey and green in colour. The brooch measures 65.6 mm long, 59 mm wide, 6.5 mm thick, and weighs 41.04 grams.

SUSS-6BB0E5: COIN
A heavily worn and corroded Medieval silver cut short cross halfpenny of an unidentified monarch. The coin is too worn to resolve enough of the obverse and reverse legends for precise identification. Only the N of [HE]N[RICUS REX] can be seen on the obverse, with [...]N[.]E on the reverse. The saltire orentation of the cross pomee in each quadrant of the reverse enables it to be identified as a short cross coin. The coin would date from 1180-1247 AD.

A struck silver penny of Charles II (1660-1685 AD). Initial mark: Crown. Obv. legend: CAROLUS II D G M B F ET HIB REX; crowned bust in armour facing left with denomination mark behind bust on right. Rev. legend: CHRISTO AUSPIC[E] [RE]GNO; square-topped royal shield over cross moline. This coin is of a Third Issue struck type, with inner circles and mark of value; hammered coinage was superceded by machine-made coinage in early 1663. Cf. North 1991, Vol II, No. 2775; North describes the cross on reverse as a cross fleury, however this example is a cross moline. Cf. Spink 2001, No. 3327.

SUSS-6B7237: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch, dating to the 1st century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of its lower half, including a horizontal raised ridge at what is likely to have been the mid-point of the brooch body; a small tapering segment followed by another smaller ridge parallel to the first, widening again to create a sub-triangular lower brooch end; ending with a small ridge above a knopped foot. These elements on its front surface correspond directly to the elongated sub-triangular catchplate on its reverse surface. The catchplate begins parallel to the upper ridge on the front surface and terminates at the foot knop. The catchplate end has been turned over on the top half in order to hold the pin, now missing, followed by a semi-circular perforation and an undecorated tapering portion. It measures 36.5 mm long, 12.94 mm wide (at upper ridge), 5.03 mm wide (foot knop), and is 4.92 mm max. thickness; it is 31.02 mm long at the catchplate. The brooch fragment weighs 4.88 grams. The characteristics of this brooch fragment correspond closely to the Hod Hill type of Roman brooch from the 1st century AD, which means that the missing portion would have probably consisted of a larger upper body, side lugs and a hinged head, holding the pin. Cf. Hattatt 2007, Fig. 181, No. 848.

SUSS-6B44E4: STRAP END
A nearly complete cast copper alloy composite strap end, dating to the Medieval period. This object consists of two sub-rectangular sheets, with a wider rectangular-sectioned base and a semi-circular end knop. The two sheets were usually supported by a sheet spacer which would have occupied the whole width of the strap end in between the upper and lower sheets. The sheet spacer seems to be almost completely missing, save for a small fragment visible at the end knop and some decorative features in the central panel. All three elements were held together by four circular rivets: two placed in the centre of each end and two placed off-centre underneath the openwork decoration on the upper surface, presumably to prevent the thinner surface from breaking. The decorative elements of the object are elaborate, including an open work panel and incised decoration. The main decorative focus of the strap end is two central open work niches, which mimic the shape of the strap end itself (i.e. sub-rectangular plan with upper semi-circular arch). They are flanked at the outside by columns and are separated by a thin copper alloy 'pillar', creating niches or windows. The remains of a copper alloy winding stem can be observed in both open niches beginning from the base, with the right stem nearly complete. It is likely that the stems would have supported an acorn near the top of each arch (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, Fig. 97, No. 705). Upon further inspection, these elements seem to be part of the central spacer mentioned above and are supported by the overall openwork panel of the top sheet. Above the central decorations, double incised lines create a square border around two incised chevrons, one within the other. This gives the effect of a 'roof' over the open work niches. The remaining space is filled with linear incised design. Underneath the central panel a set of double incised lines are visible running horizontally above and below a band of three saltires in a grid. The strap end measures a total of 47.38 mm long, 16.54 mm wide (base), 12.34 mm wide (upper strap end), 5.50 mm x 6.45 mm (end knop), and is 3.09-1.71 mm (max-min) thick; the central panel measures 14.37 mm long, 10.40 mm approx. width. The strap end weighs 5.67 grams. Two close parallels are listed in Egan and Pritchard 1991, Fig. 97, Nos. 704, 505. Both of these examples are dated to c. 1350-1450 AD based upon context and ceramic remains.

SUSS-6B13F8: BUCKLE
A very small cast copper alloy Medieval single loop buckle frame, dating to c. 1250-1500 AD. The buckle frame consists of a D-shaped buckle frame with a narrowed and offset strap bar, and a central moulded notch which would have allowed the buckle pin end to rest on the frame. There is another smaller incised notch below the central one on the frame, perhaps from use. The offset strap bar would have allowed the buckle strap to be comfortably held in place, while accommodating the pin; the strap bar is now missing as well as the pin. The buckle frame measures 15.2 mm long, 12.8 mm wide, 2.3 mm thick, and weighs 1.18 grams. Cf. Whitehead 2003, p19, esp. No. 64.

SUSS-6ADB33: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy Post Medieval double loop oval buckle with all-over moulded surface decoration, dating to c. 1550-1650 AD. This buckle consists of a buckle frame, cast copper alloy pin wrapped around an offset central bar, and a buckle plate originally in one folded plate, but now broken into two pieces. The frame has moulded vine scroll ornament cast in a sunken field and a lobed knop at either end of the strap bar which also has incised decoration resembling foliage. The pin is cast, undecorated, and simply wrapped around so that it moves freely on the strap bar. The buckle plate is an unrecessed plate with with tapering sides, trilobed end and two circular rivets. The front of the plate is engraved with floral decoration. It is possible a small portion of the circular rivets is still intact within the top punched holes, but most of the rivet material is missing. The buckle frame measures 35.9 mm long, 28.43 mm wide (at strap bar knops), 1.75 mm thick; the pin measures approximate 19.89 mm long from strap bar to end. The brooch plate measures approx. 30 mm long, 14.56 mm wide (measured at line from central rivet), and is 2.90 mm thick on the top plate and 1.90 mm thick on the undecorated bottom plate; the rivet holes measure 2.6-2.9 mm in diameter. The complete buckle with frame, pin, and plate weighs 11.71 grams. For a nearly identical example, cf. Whitehead 2003, p68, No. 423.

SUSS-6A9976: COIN
A clipped and worn Post Medieval shilling of Charles I (1625-1649). Obv. [CAROLUS D G] MAG BRI [FR] ET HI(B?). REX; crowned bust facing left, XII behind bust right. Rev. legend: CH[R]ISTO AUS[PICE] REGN[O]; square-topped shield over cross moline. Evidence that the reverse face was double-struck can be seen particularly in the legend with AUS from AUSPICE struck lower than the rest of the legend, nearly meeting with the royal shield in the central circle. There is no evidence to suggest that the obverse was double-struck, although much of the legend is unclear. This coin is characterised as a Group F or Sixth (Briot style) bust with a widespread double-arched crown, large collar with lace border and with a reverse depicting a square shield over a cross moline (North 1991 Vol II, p160). Cf. North 1991 Vol II, Nos. 2231 and 2232; also: Spink 2001, No. 2793. Based on this type, it is likely that the initial mark is a triangle-in-circle (as in North 2231), or less likely an eye or sun (as in North 2232).

SUSS-6A6103: COIN
A corroded and clipped Medieval silver groat of Edward IV, second reign (1471-1483 AD), The coin was minted in London and has an annulet initial mark dating it to 1471-1473 AD. See North, English Hammered Coinage Volume 2 (1991) page 93, No. 1631.

SUSS-69DBF2: COIN
A highly abraded copper alloy Roman coin, probably of a Roman Provincial type (c 1st-3rd c. AD). Obv. traces of a bust, right; Rev. illegible.

SUSS-FA38F1: MOUNT
A copper-alloy mount of unknown date. No further details recorded.

SUSS-F9DA30: HARNESS FITTING
A rectangular copper-alloy boss of uncertain (presumably medieval to post-medieval) date. No further details recorded.

SUSS-F987D2: HAIR PIN
A copper-alloy pin, possibly a hairpin, of uncertain (presumably Roman to post-medieval) date. No further details recorded.

SUSS-D2BAD0: COIN
A Medieval cut half voided long cross silver penny of Henry III (1216-1272 AD). North Class 3a-c (North 1994, Nos. 986-988). Minted in London (1248-1250 AD). Obv.: crowned ruler facing; legend: hENRI[CUS] [REX] [I]II. Rev.: voided long cross with three pellets in each quadrant; [NIC(H)]/OLE ONL [...]. Although Nichole is a known moneyer for North Class 3 type coins minted in London, the division of the reverse legend is unusual (cf. Wren 1993, p. 27).

SUSS-D294D3: POWDER FLASK
An almost complete but damaged Post Medieval cast lead powder measure with a nozzle used for measuring and pouring a charge of gunpowder. The sides of the upper part of the measure, are pushed inwards. The rim of the measure would probably have been oval in plan, prior to being damaged. There is a vertical casting seam on the measure which does not continue onto the funnel. At one side of the measure, close to the base, is a misshapen loop. A similar loop at the opposite side is largely missing due to old breaks. Projecting from the base is a tapering integral nozzle which would deliver the powder charge down the muzzle of the weapon. The nozzle is oval in cross-section beneath the base of the measure and circular in cross-section at the other end. The loops enabled the cap to be attached separately to the bandolier (belt) of the wearer so that they could be removed without the possibility of being dropped and lost. The measure would have held enough powder for a complete charge for the weapon. A series of these measures were attached to the bandolier. The powder measure would date to circa 1600-1700 AD. For information on small arms accessories of the seventeenth century, see: Courtney, P. 1988. "Small Arms Accessories of the Mid-Seventeenth Century". Finds Research Group 700 - 1700.

SUSS-D25163: COIN
A nearly complete Post Medieval silver groat of Mary (1553-1554 AD). Obv. crowned bust left; legend: MARIA [D G] ANG FR[A] [Z] hIB REGI with double annulets between each word. Privy mark is a pomegranate placed after MARIA; hence, mint is London. Rev: Long cross fourchee over royal shield; legend: VERITA/S TEM/PORIS FILIA. Privy mark is again the pomegranate after VERITAS. North Vol. II (1991), No. 1960, p. 126; cf. also Spink 2001, No. 2492, p. 231. Cf. database records: SUSS-D22593; WILT-EA8E30.

SUSS-D22593: COIN
A bent, torn, and possibly clipped Post Medieval silver groat of Mary (1553-1554 AD). Although the condition of the coin itself is poor, the obverse and reverse surfaces are easily legible. Obv. crowned bust left; legend: MARIA D [G] ANG FRA [Z] [H]IB REGI with annulets between each word. Privy mark is a pomegranate placed after MARIA; hence, mint is London. Rev: Long cross fourchee over royal shield; legend: VERITA/S TEM/PORIS [FI]LIA. Privy mark is again the pomegranate after VERITAS. North Vol. II (1991), No. 1960, p. 126; cf. also Spink 2001, No. 2492, p. 231. Cf. database record: WILT-EA8E30.

SUSS-A95697: BADGE
A nearly complete copper alloy head-dress ('cap') badge for The Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey), missing only its fastener. This particular style and metal make it likely that the badge dates to a new type introduced c. 1924, which was subsequently used during WWI and replaced by a plastic economy style in WWII. This type of regimental badge depicts the Paschal Lamb, which was altered to stand upon a torse instead of the original title-scroll, carrying a square banner with cross over its right shoulder. It is possible that this badge dates to a later version created for the beret in 1949, although its metal characteristics, weight, and style suggest an earlier date. These badges were manufactured using a mechanical stamping method. For further information regarding these types of badge, see: http://www.queensroyalsurreys.org.uk .

SUSS-A7F772: COIN
A complete Medieval silver long cross coin of the Edwardian Type (c. 1279-1377 AD), broken into two pieces. Because of the fragmented state of the coin and the fact that the outer borders containing the legends are clipped, it is impossible to determine which ruler is represented, either Edward I, II, or III (1272-1307; 1307-1327; 1327-1377 AD). The ruler's bust is undraped (cf. North Fig. 21, Class 3a for Edward I). Mint is confirmed as York (Episcopal) from the combination of a central quattrefoil design within the long cross of the reverse, as well as remains of the reverse legend: EBO. Cf. North 1994, Vol 1, pp 24-59.

SUSS-A67D91: TOKEN
A Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular double-faced token. The token has a segmented 'wheel-spoke' design with a raised central pellet on one side and there is a off-centre 'X' with possible further decoration on the other side. It is 25.5 mm in diameter and 2.9 mm thick, weighing 10.29 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD. Powell Type 3.

SUSS-A66520: MOUNT
A copper-alloy object, probably representing a medieval mount. This object consists of a sub-rectangular sheet of copper alloy, the upper surface of which has been divided into two rectangular segments. The smaller of these segments has a slightly concave surface, and the larger has a flat surface. The smaller segment has a triangular arrangement of three perforations, with the two smaller rivet holes on the squared end of the object and the larger hole in the middle of the same end. At the other end of the object there are remains of an intact rivet placed centrally at the mount's edge; the end bearing the rivet is slightly bevelled at the outer edges. The concave area is decorated with a raised double chevron design at the end, with a lightly incised dashed line following the straight edge between the two smaller rivet holes, and traces of gilding. A transverse ridge divides the two rectangular panels; this ridge bears possible traces of gilding, although it is possible that this is simply the original colour of the metal shining through the metal corrosion and applied wax finish. The larger segment is decorated with a raised design which may be in the form of a bumble bee; it has an upper semi-circular ridge, from which other ridges emanate. The semi-circular ridge connects to a sub-oval shape. The lines may indicate a bee's head, legs, wings, and abdomen, although it is difficult to determine confidently. The object measures 39.5 mm long, 21.8 mm wide, 1.6 mm thick, and weighs 6.72 grams. Although it is uncertain as to whether this item was originally used as a dress accessory item, such as a strap end or as a decorative mount, it seems clear that this object was meant to be affixed to an edge or material solidly from the rivet holes and rivet at both ends and that it was also meant to be decorative.

SUSS-A61417: BUCKLE
A Post Medieval cast copper alloy vesica shaped buckle, dating to c. 1550-1650. The buckle consists of a vesica shaped frame with protrusions on either end of the strap bar, which is narrowed; its pin is missing. The buckle measures 45.4 mm long, 27.5 mm wide, and is 2.3 mm thick; it weighs 5.78 grams. The buckle is dark brown in colour, but some of this may be due to a surface waxed finish applied after discovery.

SUSS-171715: SPUR
A Post Medieval copper alloy spur attachment fitting. The strap attachment end of the fitting is a pointed oval shape and has an integral copper alloy rivet with a large domed head projecting from the back. At its thinner end the oval tapers into a much narrower arm with lobed knobs to either side. Below the knobs the arm continues into a backward curving, tapering hook. Read (1988) Fig 21, No.11 and Fig 17, No.6 illustrates two similar hooked fittings with attachment studs. One of these is hooked through a hole of a figure-of-eight spur arm terminal and was presumably used to attach the spur to a leather strap. Read dates these types to the 16th century AD. .

SUSS-168CF4: STRAP FITTING
One half of a cast copper alloy strap fitting or swivel, probably dating to the Medieval period (c. 1300-1500 AD). The swivel ring is circular in plan with a socket which would have held the other piece of the fitting in place by means of an integral rivet. The socket has a smaller circular opening into the fitting band and a larger oval opening at the collared base. There is evidence of wear on the inside surface of the ring. The strap fitting measures 17.5 mm in diameter, 4.01 mm (interior hole diameter), 5.95 mm (external hole diameter), 2.3 mm thick (band). It weighs 3.02 grams. For a similar type of strap fitting, cf. DUR-F79C64.

SUSS-152E86: KNIFE
A complete cast copper alloy late Medieval (c. 14th-16th century) shoulder bolster from a whittle-tang knife. The sub-rectangular object is ovoid in section. On one side is a slot to accommodate the blade and on the other is a rectangular hole for the tang. The shoulder bolster measures 17.0mm in length, 11.4mm width and thickness 9.8mm. Its weight is 7.31 grams. A close parallel can be seen in Read 2001, Vol. 1, No. 646, which is consistent to the dating suggested above. Also cf. PAS database record NLM-F4CBB5.

SUSS-1453F4: KEY (LOCKING)
A complete cast copper alloy key, probably dating to the Post Medieval period. This key type is described as a "kidney-shaped bow variant, solid shank and simple bit" by Read 2001, p67. Following this key's kidney-shaped bow with two internal projections near the shank, there are three concentric collars separating the bow from the shank, an oval-sectioned shank, a plain rectangular bit, and a slightly protruding tip after the bit. It measures 35.9 mm (length); 17.9 mm (width); and 5.4 mm (max. thickness); and weighs 4.74 g. This key is very similar to Nos. 564-567 (Read 2001, Fig. 47, p73), especially No. 566, which is nearly identical in style. Cf. PAS database record GLO-E842F5.

SUSS-02EA52: WINE BOTTLE

SUSS-023143: RETOUCHED FLAKE
A collection of flakes with evidence of retouch/re-use Retouched flint: 1) A Retouched flint flake that has been modified into a tool, probably of Neolithic date (c.3500- 1500 BC). The flake comes from larger core and had four negative scars on the dorsal surface, all with pronounced arrises. The ventral surface shows the butt of the striking platform, the bulb of percussion and cracking ripples. The retouch is mostly on the dorsal surface in the distal portion and appears to be designed to sharpen the edge rather than dull it. The flint is of a milky grey colour. 53.9mm long, 31.8mm wide, 13.4mm thick and weighs 23 grams. 2) A flint waster flake with some evidence of retouch probably of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1000 BC). The Dorsal surface is entirely cortical apart from one negative scar. The retouch is on the left edge of this scar in the proximal portion and appears to sharpen the edge for cutting use. The ventral surface shows the butt of the striking platform, a bulb of percussion and cracking ripples. The flint is of mid grey colour. 32.7mm long, 23.6mm wide, 6.3mm thick and weighs 5.1grams. 3) A Retouched flint flake that has been modified into a tool, probably of Neolithic date (c.3500- 1500 BC). The flake comes from larger core and is partially cortical. The dorsal surface has at least six negative scares on the dorsal surface, all with pronounced arrises. The ventral surface shows the cracking ripples but all signs if the point of impact has been lost by an old break. The retouch is on the right edge of the dorsal surface in the proximal portion as well as on both edges of the ventral surface. It appears to be designed to sharpen the edge rather than dull it. The flake is of good quality dark grey flint. 25.8mm long, 22.3mm wide, 8.8mm thick and weighs 6.14 grams. 4) A flint waster flake with some evidence of retouch probably of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1000 BC). The flake appears to have been broken by an old break so no longer has any sign of the point of impact. The dorsal surface has two negative scars and the ventral surface has clear cracking ripples. The right edge of the ventral surface has been retouched along its entire length in order to sharpen it to create a cutting edge. The flint is of a milky light grey to white colour. 23.8mm long, 22.0mm wide, 2.6mmm thick and weighs 1.89 grams. 5) A flint waster flake with some evidence of retouch probably of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1000 BC). The ventral surface shows the butt of the striking platform, a bulb of percussion and cracking ripples. The dorsal edge shows retouch all the way along the irregularly shaped left edge which appears to be intended to sharpen the edge for use as a cutting tool. The flint is of a light milky grey colour. 21.1mm long, 15.6mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 1.55 grams. 6) A flint waster flake with some evidence of retouch probably of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1000 BC). The ventral surface shows the butt of the striking platform, a bulb of percussion and cracking ripples. The dorsal surface is partially cortical apart from on the right edge which has at least three negative scars. The retouch is all the way along this edge and appears to be intended to sharpen the edge for use as a cutting tool. 41.1mm long, 29.9mm wide, 9.4mm thick and weighs 11.10 grams.

SUSS-001CB4: RETOUCHED FLAKE
A flint waster flake with some evidence of retouch probably of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1000 BC). The dorsal surface is partially cortical with two negative scars. The ventral surface has the butt of the striking platform, bulb of percussion and cracking ripples. Small amounts of retouch are on both edges of the ventral surface. The flake is of a very dark grey/brown, high quality flint. 47.9mm long, 28.7mm wide, 10.2mm thick and weighs 12.6 grams.

SUSS-FFEAE6: BLADE
Flint blade of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date (4500-1000 BC). The blade has an "S" shaped twisted profile with a trapezoidal cross section. The dorsal surface is partially cortical with six negative scars. The ventral surface has the butt of the striking platform, bulb of percussion and cracking ripples. There is a small amount of retouch on both edges of the dorsal surface which appear sharpen the edges to create edge. 77.8mm long, 27.9mm wide, 6.1mm thick and weighs 16.6 grams.

SUSS-D82337: HANDAXE
Lower Palaeolithic, Acheulean, bifaced ovate flint hand axe. The hand axe is oval, and the thickest area about half of the way down. It is generally symmetrical in plan and profile with a slight S shape to the edge, more prominent on one side to the other. The axe is almost completely covered in shallow flake removal scars with evidence for more precise retouch around some edges. There is some small evidence of relatively modern edge damage particularly around the edges. The arises on both faces are slightly smoothed consistant with some post depositional wear but not long term rolling or erosion. The surface colour is comprised of a range of browns, one side being slightly darker than the other. Such hand axes were in widespread use from c.600,000 to 245,000 years ago in Britain although most finds date from 500-300,000 years ago corresponding to a period of warmer climate. They were produced by the hominid species Homo heidelbergensis. It has been suggested ovate hand axes were used more for cutting like a knife rather than as an axe.

SUSS-333B55: HARNESS PENDANT
Medieval cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant is lozenge shaped, with the transverse circular suspension loop extending from the top point of the lozenge. The pendant is in the shape of a cross fleuretty with a large fleur de lys at the end of each cross arm arranged so that the outer petals of each touch. The petals are divided by indented, cast, lines, the back is flat. The outer edge of the pendant is scalloped around the petals. There are four drilled holes arranged in a square between the fleurs defining a central lozenge. The pendant was gilded on the obverse and traces of this remain. The reverse of the pendant is flat and undecorated. The length is 31.9mm, width 21.8mm and thickness 2.7mm. It weighs 5.14 grams. A similar example from York is published in Ottaway and Rogers (2002: 2962, 2964; fig. 1529), no.14495 from a late 13th century context.

SUSS-081086: TOKEN
A cast unifaced lead token. The design is a double line of squares with triangles above and below with pellets between. The diameter is 18.9 mm, the thickness 2.1 mm. The weight is 3.83 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely, this example could be Medieval or post medieval in date (1250-1850 AD).

SUSS-48D603: TOKEN
Post medieval copper alloy traders token farthing issued by Thomas Valer of Chichester, Williamson Vol 3, page 1168 Sussex 66. Thomas Valer was an alderman and Mayor of Chichester in 1666 and 1676
