Dorchester. 



A tool the use of which it is hard to 

 understand. Just possibly it may have 

 been for stamping leather or pottery. It is 

 like a shallow gouge. But instead of hav- 

 ing a sharp edge it has filed or sawn lines 

 on each side, eight outside and apparently 

 seven inside. These indented lines are 

 alternate, so that the edge, pressed verti- 

 cally down, makes a curved serrated im- 

 pression. The edge is lin. across. The 

 tool tapers for if in. where the shaft begins. 

 This is now fin. long, but is imperfect. 



Dorchester. 



A fragment, possibly of a lamp. It is 

 part of a round hollow vessel, ornamented 

 with concentric fillets in relief. N.B. On 

 the same card are two small fragments of 

 bronze, use unknown. 



Fordmgton Field, Dorchester. 



This looks like a barrel-key with two 

 opposite wards, which are broken off. The 

 handle consists of two flat rings united, 

 roughly lin. and in. across respectively. 

 The small one ends in two little knobs or 

 projections. The flat surfaces are roughly 

 engraved with slight ornament suggesting 

 sprays of foliage. 



On the same card is a button of doubt- 

 ful date.
