Abstract
Two Late Saxon swords
David A Hinton
1 - 4
Cleaning of the Drayton sword (found 1965) revealed a bead-edged bronze plate above the guard and surrounding the hilt-tang. The guard is undecorated and probably had expanded terminals; an 11th century date is proposed. X-rays revealed nothing further, but the opportunity was taken to re-examine the Abingdon sword, on which X-rays revealed the expected pattern-welding of the blade. This sword is now thought to have expanded terminals and date to late 9th/early 10th century. The lobed pelta-leaf of its decoration is found in several other objects, including some with royal connections from Winchester.
Excavations of medieval remains at Oxford, 1969: second interim report
Tom G Hassall
5 - 18
A new method of excavating the very complex and densely-set pits was successfully evolved on the Church Street site. Here the stone footings of Whitehall, a 14th/15th century building, had been preceded by two ovens. Traces next door were still more vestigial and the future of medieval tenement excavation in Oxford looks unpromising in terms of structures. The Greyfriars site had been heavily robbed but parts of this major church could be planned, together with an upstanding piece of "city wall" coinciding with the N wall of the choir. Some of the moulded pier bases will be preserved in the new development. Five phases of the church are recognised, c 1246-late 15th century. No certain remains of Saxon defences were found; the sections dug so far are however untypical owing to later works. Under Castle Street was found a coffin from St Budoc's church.

Sealed bottles from All Souls College Oxford
Jeremy Haslam
27 - 33
Glass bottles with impressed seals from the college cellars have been studied and a typological sequence of rims worked out with documentary aids. The 1,000 or more hand-blown bottles span the years 1750-1830 in a fairly steady developmental sequence showing three main types of string-rim. The earlier bottles at least are known from college accounts to have come from a Stourbridge factory. Seal-types confirm the developmental sequence, and clearly bottles were made and sealed in batches. See Oxoniensia, 34, 1969 (1970), 45-77 for relevant documents.
