Abstract:		 Among the objects displayed at Luton Museum, Wardon Park is an artefact described in the Accession Register (52/120/58) as "Bronze Disc with punched decoration"; it was found, with other grave goods in Burial E3, that of a young girl at the Anglo-Saxon Cemetery, Marina Drive, Bedfordshire. Its position in the grave indicates that it had been attached to her waist-belt or chatelaine, presumably to serve as a decorative ornament, possibly having some amuletic significance. The purpose of this article is to record the discovery and resulting scientific examination of solder found adhering to the underside of the disc and to offer an explanation as to its original function and purpose.
