Abstract

TIZIANA VITALI and TOMÁS Ó CARRAGÁIN with PATRICK GLEESON This section of the journal comprises two core sets of reports linked to work in 2012: on finds and analyses relating to the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and on site-specific discoveries and reports in medieval Britain and Ireland (MB&I), with a selection of highlighted projects. For the PAS report, reviews on coin and non-coin finds and on specific research angles are presented. For MB&I, the Society is most grateful to all contributors

Early or Late Medieval? Metal Strap-Decorations That Caused Some ConfusionZbigniew Robak

Slovenska archeologia, 2022

The paper aims at refining the information about the composition of a 'hoard' found by amateur treasure hunters in Dolné orešany, Trnava dist. in Slovakia. The 'hoard' contains 86 bronze decorations and, initially, it was attributed to the turn of the 8 th and 9 th centuries. Most items are late avar decorations the origin and chronology of which is beyond any doubt. Several items, however, aroused suspicions. one of the fittings was classified as carolingian and, unfortunately, was published as such. Further studies revealed that the 'hoard' included items that should be dated back to the period between 1300 and 1450 AD instead. This applies to the fitting initially described as carolingian. The paper also questions the chronology of some well-known finds that have long been considered to be early medieval.

An ornamented copper-alloy buckle and matching strap-end were recovered from a Viking Age grave, together with remains of a belt and the linen clothing that it fastened. The metalwork appears to have been re-worked from horse fittings and is likely to have originated in the Irish Sea region.

Medieval Archaeology, 2019

This paper introduces and discusses a group of broadly 14th-century single-looped buckles. These oval buckles are characterised by an outer edge which widens gradually towards its centre, thus providing a sizeable field either side of the pin rest. Two-thirds of the corpus of over 100 examples are decorated with engraved and punched motifs. These motifs comprise abstract forms, schematic or realistic vegetal or animal motifs, representations of humans and architectural features, and religious inscriptions. Such buckles are typical of the South of France, but are documented here for the first time from the eastern and southern coasts of England. Their presence in England can be framed in a commercial context; once diffused, they might have been copied, and other decorative motifs introduced in order to meet local needs. Compositional analyses revealed the existence of alloy groups with high proportions of lead or tin, potentially testifying to production in separate workshops.

The Oxford Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology in Britain, 2018

This chapter discusses the relationship between numismatics and archaeology in the later medieval period. It begins by tracing the beginning of the serious study of medieval coins in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and discusses the estranged relationship between the disciplines of archaeology and numismatics into the modern period. It demonstrates the vital role that coin hoards have played in the study of the monetary economy of medieval England and Wales and the growth of numismatics as a discipline. However, the emergence of single find evidence (principally metal-detector finds recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme) provides us with a new dataset that has the potential to rewrite what we can say about monetization, especially in rural contexts. Imported coins and those used as jewellery or as votive objects are discussed.

The following objects have been reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) during 2017. In some cases the objects were found in previous years but only reported to the PAS during 2017. Full descriptions of all finds recorded by the PAS are available via their online database (www.finds.org.uk). The finds described here are only a selection of the finds of note from Lincolnshire. A total of 6106 finds were reported to the scheme from Lincolnshire in 2017, which have been recorded by the Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs), and in some cases by PAS interns or volunteers under the guidance of FLOs. The reported finds ranged in date from the Mesolithic to modern periods, although were predominantly dated to the Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods.

The Journal of Irish Archaeology, 2021

Hoards of the Irish Later Bronze Age regularly include different forms of rings and chain links that historically have been identified vaguely as tack components or ‘ornaments’; these occur, too, as stray finds. If, however, they are examined in their wider European context, it becomes clear that some represent components of a hitherto unrecognised class of Irish composite copper-alloy ornament, dating from the tenth–eighth/seventh centuries BC, and exemplified by the Derrane, Co. Roscommon, chain complex.

What characterizes the openwork structure of the recently discovered strap-ends?add

The research identifies seven copper-alloy strap-ends with a hollow box-like socket, allowing visibility of the strap within. This differs from conventional strap-ends, indicating a potential alternative function as scabbard chapes.

How do the newly found strap-ends relate to existing Anglo-Saxon styles?add

The discovered strap-ends show stylistic affinities with Class A and Class B Anglo-Saxon designs, yet differ in their construction. Their unique features suggest a possible dating into the late 9th to 10th century.

What types of decoration are present on the newly recorded strap-end groups?add

Group 2 terminals feature foliate decorations similar to Class E strap-ends, while Group 3 displays triangular shapes with zoomorphic motifs. One Group 3 piece exhibits a lion biting its tail, linking it to late Anglo-Saxon artistic traditions.

How does the construction of these strap-ends diverge from typical examples?add

Unlike typical strap-ends which have rivet holes, these newly classified examples lack such features and are crafted as a single molded piece with an open centre. This could suggest multifunctionality beyond traditional strap usage.

What implications do these strap-ends have for understanding late Anglo-Saxon craftsmanship?add

The variety in construction and decoration of these strap-ends indicates a rich tradition of metalworking during this period, reflecting diverse functional applications and aesthetic choices among late Anglo-Saxon artisans.

Strap-ends represent the most common class of dress accessory known from late Anglo-Saxon England. At this period, new materials, notably lead and its alloys, were being deployed in the manufacture of personal possessions and jewellery. This newly found strap-end adds to the growing number of tongue-shaped examples fashioned from lead dating from this period. It is, however, distinctive in being inscribed with a personal name. The present article provides an account of the object and its text, and assesses its general significance in the context of a more nuanced interpretation of the social status of lead artefacts in late Anglo-Saxon England.

The Coat of Arms, 2012

In what is hoped to be the first of a continuing series, we list here a short selection of small finds of heraldic or related interest recently reported under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996 or the Portable Antiquities Scheme. All the objects were found by metal-detectorists; most will be (and some already are) listed on line in the PAS database at www.finds.org.uk; these are ascribed a unique PAS number. Objects found to be treasure have a T number prefixed by the year in which they were declared. All the items in this initial list (save one) were found in Norfolk and accordingly have a Norfolk Historic Environment Database number (NHER) which identifies the site at which they were found in the on-line database at www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk. The editors are grateful to Steven Ashley for his assistance in the preparation of this list.

Ancient lives: object, people and places in early Scotland. Essays for D.V. Clarke, (eds)F Hunter, A Sheridan, 2016

A very few dress items were adopted in Britain and Ireland in the object-poor post-Roman period. One was the handpin, a distinctive pin with offset head. Made primarily in silver, the first handpins were to occur in hoards and as stray finds very widely distributed inside and beyond Roman Britain in the later fourth and fifth centuries. Some were richly decorated in a distinctive late Roman style, a local hybrid produced to a high standard. The basic pin type, however, was already manufactured beyond the Imperial northern border. Recent finds and new research into the design and materials have added to our knowledge but not solved the challenge of their origin and significance both inside and beyond the Roman frontier.
