Overview
The dataset presented here comprises the analytical data on which the book is based. Table 1 summarises the data, indicating the total numbers of quantitative and qualitative analyses of brooches from each site included in this spreadsheet and references to any publications including the brooches and/or related analytical data.
Each entry in this appendix contains:
- a four letter site code (Table 1 provides a key)
- an English Heritage Ancient Monuments Laboratory inventory number (where one exists)
- a site number (which is usually a small finds number)
- a publication reference (if the brooch has been published - either a catalogue number or a figure number)
- a Hull type number (see Table 2)
- codes describing any applied decoration (see Table 3 for a key)
- the colour(s) of any enamel decoration (Table 4 provides a key)
- the percentages of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), tin (Sn), lead (Pb) and silver (Ag) present (where quantitative analyses have been carried out)
- the alloy name assigned as described in Chapter 1 of the book
Where it has not been possible to assign a brooch to one of Hull's types, either because it is incomplete or because it is of an undefined type, it has usually been allocated to one of Hull's groups (defined in Table 2) and the group number is given instead of the type number. Brooches that are clearly variants of a particular type have '+' added to the type number; '++' indicates a more distantly-related brooch. Question marks denote uncertainty.
