8007A (none) (none) B16770 Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing]. [B] A copper pin 0075 long was corroded on the back [C] (as were many beads) but need not belong to it. The three are cataloged under the same number.
8007B (none) (none) B17462 Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing].

7996 (none) (none) B17164 Stone pot. Coarse white calcite or limestone. Containing a black pigment. Type IX.
7997 (none) (none) B17137 Stone pot. White calcite. Open straight-sided bowl containing yellow pigment. [drawing] Type XIII.
7999 (none) 1928,1009.427 (none) Stone vase. Hemispherical bowl. White calcite(?) blackened by fire. Containing black substance, presumably a pigment. Type IX.
7998 (none) 1928,1009.423 (none) Stone vase. White calcite. Small vertical-sided bowl; covered with a cockle-shell containing green pigment. Type VI.
8000 (none) 1928,1009.184 (none) Three silver cockle shells. One inside the other. The inner one shows signs of a red substance perhaps a pigment. Natural size.
8017 (none) (none) (none) Two gold beads. Elongated double conoids made of thin gold leaf over a core which has split and decayed, leaving the gold in fragments. These beads went with U.8011.
8019B (none) (none) (none) Two lapis eye sockets [A-B]. Intended to have shell iris set in (cf. one attached to U.8013)
8020A (none) (none) (none) Two squares. [A] One of white bone. [B] One of dark grey stone. Each set with 5 inlay dots, black on the white square, white on the black, thus: [drawing 1:1]
8020B (none) (none) (none) Two squares. [A] One of white bone. [B] One of dark grey stone. Each set with 5 inlay dots, black on the white square, white on the black, thus: [drawing 1:1]
8009 (none) (none) B17622 White shell beads. All small, mostly minute: several thousands of them, with one white spacer.
8013A (none) (none) B17084 [A and B] Two silver bracelets. Made of three twists of wire. To one of these is attached by corrosion an [C] object of silver apparently containing a cockle shell [D]; the cockle shell has in it green pigment and was covered by a silver shell (broken) thus: [drawing] though it is impossible to say whether the shell is really belonging or only accidentally attached. Various beads are also attached by corrosion to the bracelet and also [E] an eye of lapis with white shell filling.
8013D (none) (none) B16838 [A and B] Two silver bracelets. Made of three twists of wire. To one of these is attached by corrosion an [C] object of silver apparently containing a cockle shell [D]; the cockle shell has in it green pigment and was covered by a silver shell (broken) thus: [drawing] though it is impossible to say whether the shell is really belonging or only accidentally attached. Various beads are also attached by corrosion to the bracelet and also [E] an eye of lapis with white shell filling.
8013E (none) (none) B16851 [A and B] Two silver bracelets. Made of three twists of wire. To one of these is attached by corrosion an [C] object of silver apparently containing a cockle shell [D]; the cockle shell has in it green pigment and was covered by a silver shell (broken) thus: [drawing] though it is impossible to say whether the shell is really belonging or only accidentally attached. Various beads are also attached by corrosion to the bracelet and also [E] an eye of lapis with white shell filling.

8013C (none) (none) B17716 [A and B] Two silver bracelets. Made of three twists of wire.
