what kind of contexts were these objects found in: in houses,
outbuildings pits etc. Does their surface suggest they fell off something after
site abandonment or were they buried quickly. That might give a hint about how
they were used. They must be very frustating objects to study because they look
like they were very useful, common and obvious things.Any people out there with
Celtic or early medieval analogies out there?<br>
