A single metal object shown on a pale background, set on a card mount with a beige border. It is a flat-bladed tool, narrow at the top and flaring to a broad, slightly curved cutting edge at the bottom. The dark surface is pitted and encrusted, with some light patches and a small chip on the left edge.

Metal tools, weapons and small finds are arranged in rows on a pale background. The top row includes a long thin pin with a looped top, a long leaf-shaped blade with a central rib, two pins with domed heads and perforated shafts, and several pointed tapering pieces. Lower down are a conical socketed piece, a small rectangular pendant, several ring beads and a large oval stone bead with a hole, with number labels beneath some items.

A single oval object with a rough, pitted surface and a round hole pierced through the narrower upper end. It is photographed alone on a pale grey backdrop, with a small dark number label at the lower right. The material looks porous and stone-like rather than metal.
Description, scan 5
Two long metal objects are shown side by side on pale card strips, each with a domed, conical head at the top and a slender shaft that narrows to a point. Each shaft has a small diamond-shaped opening partway down. A small paper tag marked 55 sits at the top of the right-hand strip, and blue handwritten notes show at the edges.
Description, scan 6
A pale card mount holds two photographs of metal objects. The larger one shows five elongated, tapering objects standing upright in a row; the leftmost is longest with an encrusted, knobbly surface, while the others are smoother and darker with a raised central ridge and small knobs near the top. A smaller photograph at the right shows one similar object, and blue handwriting is partly visible along the bottom edge.
Description, scan 7
Three metal objects lie side by side on a pale card: at left a flat strip bent into a tall loop with a split along one side, in the centre a slender rod that tapers to a flat, squared end, and at right a narrow U-shaped strip with a pitted surface. Handwritten blue ink and a printed number appear along the bottom edge of the card.
Description, scan 8
A single long, narrow metal object photographed upright against a pale card. It tapers to a point at the lower end, with a raised central ridge running down its length and a hooked tang at the top. The dark surface is pitted and corroded, and a small number label is fixed at the top of the card.
Description, scan 9
Seven ring-shaped objects with central holes are arranged in three rows on a grey mounted card. Several have incised lines or grooves on their surfaces, and the object at bottom centre has a handwritten number label in ink. Their surfaces look matte and slightly rough, and the largest object at lower left shows pitted texture.
Description, scan 10
A pale grey-white paper shape with a notch cut into its right side lies on a cream card background. Three dark lines run down its surface, one bent in a zigzag near the centre and two long near-vertical lines at the left and right. The shape is flat and photographed straight on, with no metal objects or tools visible.
