Description: | An unidentified artefact of unknown date. The artefact is formed of copper alloy, there is an small chance that the fragment is a miscast Roman brooch, however it is more likely to be a melted piece of copper alloy / possibly a spill from casting. The object is irregular in plan and section although elements do resemble a bow brooch. It has a well formed mid green coloured patina that is not abraded. Due to the undiagnostic nature of this piece a direct parallel or comparable artefact cannot be suggested. This artefact is recorded as it may suggest metalworking in the Roman period on what is locally a very rich site.The object measures 25.0mm in length, 9.6mm width (across widest part) ,and 10.6mm thick (at the same point). It weighs 7.4 grams | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
