(b.) Articles made of Bronze or Brass.—1. Two fibulæ, represented full size in Figs. 140 and 141, found about the centre of the refuse-heap. Figs. 142 and 143 represent side and back views of a third fibula, much more elaborately ornamented, which was subsequently found in the débris when closing up the trenches. The diamond-shaped spaces on its back were originally filled with enamel.
2. A bronze ring pin, 6 inches long. The square-shaped portion at the top has a different device on each side, and the shank from its middle to the point is ornamented on both sides (Fig. 144).[27]
3. A bronze spatula or dagger-shaped instrument. It is very well preserved, and although shaped like a dagger, the edges are not sharp. Its length is about 111⁄4 inches and breadth 11⁄2 inch (Fig. 145).
4. Portion of strong wire, 4 inches long, showing evidence of having been in the fire.
