38060	Bracelet	Copper Alloy	Roman (150 - 400)	view Find Information for small find number 38060 Object: Bracelet Accession number: 38060 Material: Copper Alloy Material species: Unidentified Species Function: Personal adornment or dress Small find period: Roman Period of stratigraphy: Roman Early date: 150 Late date: 400 Typology: PENANNULAR - SNAKE-HEADED 2nd typology: COOL 1983 XA/B Description: Complete; Diam 66.8 x 52.6mm; int Diam 58 x 44mm; min W hoop 5mm; max W terminals 11.3mm. Copper-alloy penannular snake bracelet; D-sectioned hoop expanding to stylised 'snake-head' terminals with pointed ends, decorated with central hatched ribs, opposed crescentic 'eye' mouldings and lightly incised details on the tip of the nose. Found on right forearm of SK380592. As Cool group Xa/b (1983, 146-8) this example does have low relief features, but these are more like incised/stamped Xa decoration than nauralistic Xb high relief examples. High relief Xb examples are earlier, often 2nd century. Examples from dated contexts span mid 2nd to late 4th century . Burials include Colchester (Crummy 1983, 43-4, fig 45, nos1711 and 1712; 3rd/4th C inhumation) London, Eastern Cemetery (Barber and Bowsher 2000, 166, B291.2-1, in silver; ibid 156, B201.1 in copper alloy).

Copper-alloy penannular bracelet; undecorated hoop, oval or slightly D-section; gradual taper towards pointed terminals, which (as found) do not quite meet. Found on the left forearm of SK380592, the terminals towards the eastern side. As Cool (1983, 139-40) group V, not closely datable but perhaps most common in Late Roman contexts.

38062	Finger Ring	Copper Alloy	Roman (200 - 500)	view Find Information for small find number 38062 Object: Finger Ring Accession number: 38062 Material: Copper Alloy Material species: Unidentified Species Function: Personal adornment or dress Small find period: Roman Period of stratigraphy: Roman Early date: 200 Late date: 500 Typology: FINGER RING X 2 2nd typology: COOL 1983 XVIII/XXVII VARIANT Description: Two near-matching finger rings on 4th digit of left hand. A) Complete; Diam 21mm; int Diam 14.8mm; W bezel 3.9mm; min W hoop 3.4mm Copper-alloy finger ring; cast ?circular hoop, perhaps originally slightly facetted, with sub-square section of even width; integral rectangular block bezel the same width as the hoop set at one side. B) Complete; Diam 20mm; int Diam 16.3mm; W bezel 4.4mm; min W hoop 3.1mm. Copper-alloy finger ring; cast hoop possibly slightly facetted, becoming more robust and expanding very slightly towards slightly angled/keeled shoulders; integral rectangular block bezel of same width as hoop. Best considered a variant of Cool group XXVII (1983, 279-81 and 1148, especially fig 125 no. 8 from Richborough, Kent, though it is more circular). In discussing the type generally Cool notes a likely late Roman emphasis on dating, with many probably of 4th- or even 5th-century date (ibid, 280-1). The slightly facetted hoop is reminiscent of her group XVII-XVIII and the trace of keeled shoulders is reminiscent of her group XVI; these other types belong to the 3rd/4th centruy (Cool 1983, 264-6) Completeness: C Weight: 5g Count of fragments: 2 Estimated number of vessels represented by this material: 2 Method of recovery: Unrecorded - Default assumption is hand collected Was the object discovered during survey?: 0 Does the object fall under the treasure act?: 0 the object has been discarded?: 0	Post excavation photograph of Small Find Number 38062 Post excavation photograph of Small Find Number 38062 [DOWNLOAD] right-click and save link View file information
