2) A small fragment of copper alloy that is sub-oval in plan and with rough surfaces and edges. It measures 20.75mm in width, 21.46mm in length, 11.08mm in thicknes, and weighs 17.04g.
3) A small, flattened fragment of copper alloy with coarse surfaces. It measures 29.88mm in length, 14.68mm in width, 3.71mm in thickness, and weighs 3.25g.
