A fragment of slate, with incised lines on both faces; one face has a grid of squares, each 7mm wide (approximately 1/4 inch). The other face has parallel lines, 9 mm apart. This is probably part of a writing slate, used in schools and work places from the 18th century. The lined side would have been used for handwriting practice, the grid for arithmetic or drawing. The fragment is roughly rectangular, measuring 37 mm by 34 mm, it is 4 mm thick and weighs 10.7 g. A similar item is described in record BERK-C1D811

Large copper alloy disc. Irregular shape and bent across the centre. 41mm in diameter. Lots of scratch marks on both sides but particuarly on the inside close to the fold. Exact function is uncertain but may be a scrap piece of copper alloy use to clean metallic/conductive parts on machinery. Form is similar to coins and tokens used as a 17th to 19th century love tokens, but the scratch marks on theinside suggest it had a more practical function.

The object is 138.3mm long and 47.3mm in diameter. It is a very precise plaster cast of a cattle femur which was made in two pieces which have been glued together, allowing the detail from the inside of the hollow bone to be faithfully reproduced. A thin skim of fine plaster was then put over the top to hide the join. This outer layer has been decorated with incised lines. There are three bands of circumferential line…

Fragment of dense greenish stone with deeply carved recesses on both sides. Overall the piece was probably circular – the remaining original edge is curving. The edge is sharp on one side and rounded on the other. On the sharp edged the carving consists of part of a (possibly central) circular recess with angled sides and a central circular hole. Towards the edge is a smaller circular recess with a central boss (truncated cone) with a recessed dot on top. This joins to a u-shaped channel. On the other side are traces of a similar recess to the latter.

A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The flint is sub-triangular in shape and resembles an arrowhead in shape. However, the flint has no invasive retouch and it retains the bulb of percussion and striking platform, a very unusual feature in Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads as the bulb of percussion is normally removed to facilitate hafting. The 'arrowhead' shape therefore seems likely to be coincidence rather than design. Very fine possible retouch resembling a saw blade may have been applied to both lateral edges, although it is possible that this has been caused during use …

Probable copper alloy lid from an Anglo-Saxon workbox. The lid is circular thin sheet of copper alloy with a central hole, containing a suspension loop. The loop consists of a single oval strip of copper alloy looped over at the top, threaded through the hole and then splayed on the reverse to secure it to the lid. Attached to the suspension loop is another small strip of copper alloy looped through the suspension loop, perhaps forming the first link in a chain. There is a further hole to either side of the central hole although it is not certain whether these are areas of damage. …

A large iron bowl measuring 300mm in diameter with walls of 50mm high, and suffering from corrosion. Embedded within the corrosion are pebbles and rocks, and what appears to be part of a ceramic tile or drainage pipe. Some of these large, post-depositional inclusions maintain the integrity of the bowl's current outline. Within the bowl 11 small copper-alloy pins and pin fragments were found, along with an iron stud, pin, tack and possible nail. X-rays have revealed that at least 10 other pins remain hidden within the corrosion. A bone handle juts out on the bowl's wall at one side, and…

The thin straight form might suggest this to have been intended as a pin shank, but no trace of the head or its loss were noted, nor is one end pointed beyond what resulted from its cutting. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1900. Length: 42.2mm, Diameter: 1.2mm, Weight: 0.42gms
