Hoards continue to be published through the Coin Hoards of Roman Britain series, as well as the individual coins being reported on the PAS database. PAS hoard data are used for the ongoing ‘Oxford Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire’ project (http://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/content/about). The collaborative project between the British Museum and University of Leicester on coin-hoard contexts is now published: R. Bland, A. Chadwick, E. Ghey, C. Haselgrove and D.J. Mattingly, Iron Age and Roman Coin Hoards in Britain (2020).

⁸ A selection of the most important coins is published annually in the British Numismatic Journal by S. Moorhead.

¹² The object descriptions present substantially revised versions of PAS database entries by the authors of this report. Further discussion of the form and significance of individual objects has been added throughout. Where objects are referred to with the prefix ‘Artefacts’, plus a reference number, we refer to Artefacts: Online Collaborative Encyclopaedia of Archaeological Small Finds (http://artefacts.mom.fr/).

¹³ Our very great debt to Martin Henig will again be clear from the footnotes, and we thank him for his generosity in discussing many of the artefacts published here. With his permission we have also quoted his comments on the Much Hadham intaglio (no. 20). We also record our gratitude to Alessandra Esposito, Justine Bayley, Rita Chinelli, Michel Feugère, Richard Hobbs, Tony King and Daphne Nash Briggs for commenting on objects published here and making references available, especially in a period when restricted library access due to the corona virus has limited our ability sometimes to put finds in a wider context or identify comparanda. Likewise, we also express our thanks to the editor, Hella Eckardt, for her comments on a draft. Any errors are of course our own responsibility.

⁴² Found by T. Camm. Identified and recorded by L. Brundle. We are very grateful to Justine Bayley for her comments on this brooch.

⁴³ Justine Bayley (pers. comm.) suggests that traces of ‘pea-soup’-coloured enamel are visible at the base of the field over the catchplate, suggesting that both crescentic fields were most likely originally full of red enamel.

⁴⁴ For example, Justine Bayley (pers. comm.) notes parallels to the perforations and other elements on some plate brooches in Hull's unpublished corpus, for example Colchester, pl. 756, 0575 and 0576; Castor, pl. 757, 4099; Silchester, pl. 782, 4940; Wall, pl. 810, 6809.

¹²² Adrian Marsden's record for the object, informed by comments from Ralph Jackson, notes how few other steelyard weights from the province are of similar or greater weight. Martin Henig draws our attention to an ornate example of similar weight from Kingscote in the form of the bust of an empress, weighing 1,010 g and carrying a graffito giving an approximate Roman weight of three librae and one uncia: Henig, M., ‘Bronze steelyard weight from Roman villa, Kingscote, Gloucestershire’, Antiquaries Journal 58 (1978), 370–1Google Scholar.

¹²⁶ Found by M. Thomas. Identified and documented by A. Tyacke. We are grateful to Anna Tyacke for discussion of this find and to Justine Bayley for comments on the vessel form and parallel motifs. The enamelled fragment was found in association with sherds identified by H. Quinnell as deriving from a cooking pot of Roman type in a gabbroic fabric, dated perhaps to the late first or early second centuy a.d. Further analysis is planned of charcoal also recovered from the findspot (A. Tyacke, pers. comm.). It is hoped that future work will help to establish a fuller context for this vessel, a western outlier in the distribution of objects of this type.

¹²⁹ The vessel recently excavated from an Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Scremby, Lincs. (Hugh Wilmott, pers. comm.) and the sprinkler or ‘wine-thief’ found with third-century coins from Ambleteuse, near Boulogne, now in the British Museum (BM 1843,0623.1), offer further examples.
