Bronze arm band

DERSB : 3653

Bronze arm band found at Thirst House Cave, Deepdale, 100CE-280CE. The cave was excavated by Micah and William Salt of Buxton in the 1890s, with both the interior and slope outside being dug. Burials were found at the base of the slope. One individual had been placed in a limestone pit with a pot of cremated bone, a bronze ring, and this bronze armband. These burials were hard to date other artefacts such as brooches, pottery, and coins suggest that the cave was occupied between 100CE-160CE and again between 240CE-280CE.
