A sherd of Roman Samian (Terra Sigillata) Central Gaulish Lezoux ware (c.AD150-180)
Remarkably, this sherd has both the makers mark (VXO[PILL]I M - VXOPILLI M) & the owners name (IVNIANI - Junianus) in graffiti!

2 late med/P-Med purse bars, recorded today C.AD1400-1600
Both Williams Class A1 (most common)
both with 'gripping animal heads' at centre
The suspended purses often LARGE & prob held more than just coins
Superceded by....pockets!

This lovely Middle Bronze Age, c. 1500-1300BC Dirk, reported to @FLODurhamFLO and ID'd by @BronzeDot, has just been published on the Db!
Annoyingly, found just a few 100 metres the wrong side of Durham / N. Yorks border! (still a beautiful dagger though)
