Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lithic, waste flint flake of uncertain date (probably late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age: 2500-1500 BC). The dorsal (upper) face has one central prominent arise and the striking platform is clearly evident. On the ventral (lower) face the bulb of percussion is less clearly evident. The flint is of poor quality for knapping due to large irregular inclusions. 51.1g

Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy loop, possibly related to horse harnesses or cart fittings, such as a terret ring or reign guide. The loop is plain and undecorated but taper in thickness slightly from one surviving terminal to the other. This object is unlikely to be a bracelet because it has an oval cross section, differing to those of bracelets. Due to the object's fragmentary nature, assigning a specific date is not possible, although it is unlikely to date to the prehistoric periods.

Object type: SCULPTURE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Limestone bivalve fossil with carved face on one side. The face has pronounced lips & nose although the lower part of the nose is broken. The eyes are oval and recesed. There is further decoration in the form of two crescents with transverse grooves to either side of the head - these are perhaps intended to represent hair, horns, ears or some kind of headress. Stone carvings are notoriously difficult to date and therefore this item must remain undated. It was initially suspected that the item may be Late Iron Age to Roman period based on the style of the face and locally ass…

A cast copper alloy sub-ovoid object of uncertain function or date.

A complete cast copper alloy double horse-head plate brooch,possibly Roman in date but potentially a modern creation. The brooch has a curved rectangular panel bar that curves downwards and is filled with yellow enamel.

Projecting from the centre of the lower side of the curved bar is a short neck that leads into two opposing horse heads. The horse heads are depicted in profile and face outwards from the centre of the brooch. They are equidistant either side of the neck. The …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large, roughly rectangular lump of bronze slag, airholes throughout and some elements of the raw copper sulphide are visible (a green-blue colour). The slag has a good deep green patina, similar to that seen on some local Bronze Age metalwork, so it may date from this period. If this lump of slag is indeed Bronze Age, it is interesting that it has survived and was not re-melted, as it is quite an amount of bronze.

Silver ingot with a rectangular cross section, the sides and ends have been heavily hammered. The exact nature of this artefact is unknown. Although this object has been reported as treasure, it is undiagnostic and undateable. Therefore, because it is not possible to prove that it is more than 300 years old, it falls outside the definition of 1996 Treasure Act and has been disclaimed as non-treasure.
