Find Spot record 9013/54 - Possible Tenth Century Antler Comb, 67 Handbridge

Archaeological investigations carried out over a period of years between 1994 and 2000 in the garden of 67 Eaton Rd. produced one find that might indicate the presence of Saxon period activity. From otherwise medieval contexts, an incomplete antler bone comb back of early medieval type, perhaps tenth century was recovered, with a distinctive plano-convex section of early medieval forms (1).
