ON THE LAKE VILLAGE AT GLASTONBURY. 21 
199. Small piece of bordering for some perishable material. Mound 69. 
200. Small piece of bordering. Mound 69. 
201. Fragment of rim of a bronze vessel, length 24:3 mm. ‘The inside is orna- 
mented with a row of short vertical incisions. Mound 70. 
202. Rivet-head, diam. 13 mm., height 6-4 mm. The rivet, diam. 2 mm., projects 
0-9 mm. below the base of the head. Mound 69. 
206. Handle (length 53 mm.), probably of a bronze vessel, and perhaps one of a 
pair. It is of D-shaped design, the vertical face (length 45 mm.), which followed the 
neck of the vessel, being slightly convex, whilst the inner surface of the lugs, or ears, 
of which one remains, is, on the contrary, more decidedly concave, for adaptation to 
the horizontal curve of the neck of the vessel. The remaining lug is almost circular, 
max. diam. 13 mm., with a central rivet-hole 1:7 mm. in diam. The handle is of 
circular section at top and bottom, with a min. diam. of 5:3 mm., and expands toa 
max. width of 17 mm. This expansion is bounded on either side by a heavy beading, 
4 mm. in width, enclosing a sunken field ornamented by an incised representation of 
a symmetrical curvilinear design, the interspaces being filled by successions of slight 
grooves arranged horizontally, vertically, and obliquely. Similar ornamentation 
occurs on the pottery from the village. Found in Mound 69. 
211. Small fibula in four pieces, the pin and spring 26:3 mm. long. The catch- 
plate is not perforated, but the outline of the usual hole has survived as ornament 
and is clearly traceable, crossed centrally and vertically by two slight conjoined 
bands. The collar, which in rather earlier fibule of this type served to secure the 
retroflected end of the fibula to the bow, survives in this example as ornament, 
Mound 70. 
223. Slender needle in several fragments ; max. diam. of eye, 2°5 mm, Mound 70. 
235. Fragment of corroded bronze. Mound 71. 
236. Hook (width 9:7 mm.) attached to thin crumpled bronze; the end of the 
hook tapers to a thin squared edge. Ornamented by a deep groove lengthwise. 
Mound 70. 
237. Two pieces of bordering; max. width, 65 mm. Mound 70. 
238. Hight fragments of bronze, much corroded and crumpled. Mound 71. 
239. Harp-shaped tibula of La ‘Téne type, with a small portion of the tail missing; 
length, 78-5 mm. Constructed from one piece of metal, with the addition of a short 
tubular piece of bronze inserted into the coil of the spring. The latter, after twisting 
round once on one side, arches round the back and completes a symmetrical twist on 
the other side, turning inwards to form the pin. The catch-plate, being perforated, is 
strengthened by a vertical but curved strut. A raised band or collar forms part of 
the ornament on the bow, and is, in this respect, similar to E 211 described above, 
Mound 71, 
240 and 241. Portions of two large rivet-heads; max. diams., 15 and 16 mm, 
Also several fragments of corroded bronze. Mound 71. 
242. Three damaged rivet-heads and several rivets without heads. Also frag- 
ments of corroded bronze. Mound 71. 
245. Stout but small child’s finger-ting, ornamented by a continuous groove round 
the middle ; width at front 3:3 mm., tapering to 1°8 mm. at back; int. diam., 12mm. 
Mound 73. 
246. Fibula, complete, made of one piece of bronze; total length,43 mm. The 
bow is almost straight, the flattened top (max. width 4mm.) being ornamented with 
three longitudinal grooves tapering towards the nose or tail of the fibula. One face 
of the catch-plate exhibits signs of slight incised ornamentation. The coil com- 
mencing from the bow makes two twists outwards on one side and, folding under the 
head of the bow, completes two symmetrical turns inwards before the pin emerges. 
Mound 72. 
247. Bronze chape of scabbard of sword or dagger, the bulbous termination of 
which is 13°5 mm. in diam. Bronze bordering for the edges of the sheath spring in 
both directions, and measures 7-8 mm, in average width, being of semicircular sec- 
tion. Several inches of this bordering were observed in the peat in continuation of 
what now remains, but being in a very fragile condition it could not be removed 
entire. Found in Mound 72. A similar chape was found in Mound 58 (1896), and is 
figured in the ‘ Proc, Som, Arch. foc.,’ yol. 50, pt. 2, Pl. VII., E 107.
