HER Number WSM38650 Report prepared by Worcestershire HER. Tel 01905 765560 or email archaeology@worcestershire.gov.uk. Information valid for three months from date of production. HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM38650 Parish of Evesham, Portable Antiquities Scheme General Parish Info Monument Types and Dates EVENT (IRON AGE - 800 BC to 42 AD) Evidence UNSTRATIFIED FIND EVENT (ROMAN - 43 AD to 410 AD) Evidence UNSTRATIFIED FIND EVENT (EARLY MEDIEVAL - 411 AD to 1065 AD) Evidence UNSTRATIFIED FIND EVENT (MEDIEVAL - 1066 AD to 1539 AD) Evidence UNSTRATIFIED FIND EVENT (POST MEDIEVAL - 1540 AD to 1900 AD) Evidence UNSTRATIFIED FIND Description WAW-739F07. Roman Coin: it is either an as or a dupondius. Both of these dominations were in use from 23 BC to 260 AD. The style of the bust may suggest a 1st century date for this coin. It is very worn, therefore the legends are not visible [1]. WAW-89BDE3. A cast lead or lead alloy button. The button head is sub-circular in plan, the front is domed and the back flat. The back has a central integral loop, which is not sited on a stem terminal. The front of the head is decorated with a high-relief cross pattee with a central pellet, and the arms of the cross having transverse ridges. The surface has a matt beige coloured patina. The diameter of the head is 11.55mm diameter and 15.68mm long from the apex of the loop to the furthest edge of the head. It weighs 3.3g. Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate similar buttons, particularly, No. 1381 which is decorated and described as cast from a three-part mould. These buttons date to early 13th to 14th century [2]. WAW-969902. A Post Medieval cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal. It is composed of two sub-circular discs linked with an integral ribbon. The ribbon is folded in half, thereby the two discs lay over each other with the stud passing through the perforation in the second disc. Both discs have then been flattened and stamped with ‘?f // W’ on one face and ‘L 8’ on the other. The ‘f’ shaped figure may be a privy mark which identifies an artisan dyer (Egan G. 1992 Leaden cloth Seals Datasheet 3 Finds Research Group 700-1700 p. 4). The surface of the seal has oxidised forming a mottled cream/grey colour. It measures 24.79mm long, 18.11mm wide and 4.15mm thick. It weighs 7.7g. Cloth seals were in use between the 14th and 18th centuries (Egan, G. 1989 ‘Leaden Seals for Textiles – Some Archaeological Evidence Relating to Fabric and Trade’ Costume No. 23) as a form of quality control. The seal probably dates to the 16th to 17th centuries [3]. WAW-A9F8D5. Medieval Coin: halfpenny of Edward I, II or III [4]. WAW-AE3AA5. A Post Medieval cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal. It is composed of a large sub-circular discs with a possible smaller second disc on the reverse. It is unclear how they are connected as there is no integral ribbon. The face of the large disc has a central ornate shield with a ‘+’ at the apex and an unclear design below. Around the edge there is a legend starting with a crescent and then possibly reading ‘RAE[ ]S[ ]’. The smaller disc on the reverse has ‘20’ slightly off the flan. The field around the smaller disc, on the reverse of the larger disc has a coating of feint pellets. The surface of the seal has oxidised forming a cream colour. It measures 27.82mm long, 26.72mm wide and 4.18mm thick. It weighs 8.9g. Cloth seals were in use between the 14th and 18th centuries (Egan, G. 1989 ‘Leaden Seals for Textiles – Some Archaeological Evidence Relating to Fabric and Trade’ Costume No. 23) as a form of quality control. Larger seals were used in the 17th to 18th century, for example from Colchester (Egan G. 1992 Leaden cloth Seals Datasheet 3 Finds Research Group 700-1700, Figure 11a-c) [5]. WAW-AED541. The portion of the buckle which remains is the apex of the loop and some of the sides. Egan and Pritchard illustrates similar frame(No. 421), but this is not decorated with a face. The face is possibly that of a man with a beard, but otheriwse there is no headwear or clothing visible. The London example is dated to the 14th century. It is made from cast copper alloy. The loop which protrudes from either side of the neck is triangular in section. Each terminal of the loop is broken, but not recently. The reverse of the frame is flat and flush with the protruding head. The object has a dark green shiny patina. It measures 21.6mm long, 19mm wide and weighs 1.88g [6]. WAW-AFDF12. A sub-circular cast copper alloy ring or loop, with a slender sub-pointed oval section. In profile the loop is slightly twisted. The loop has an abraded surface with traces of a mid green patina. It measures 26.13mm long, 24.24mm wide and 1.6mm thick. It weighs 1.5g.
