Anglo-Saxon Cemetery: Winfarthing Coin Pendants - 3D Model
Added 2023-07-20 13:07:42 +0000 UTCThe lady of Winfarthing was richly adorned with stunning gold jewellery. Alongside the mesmerising gold and garnet pendant, there were several smaller examples, including two pendants refashioned out of coins.

Enjoy!
UPDATE: Helen, Helena and Gus discuss the significance of the coins on Day 2, around 9m13s onwards. The ruler represented is the Frankish king, Sigebert III - see link here: https://youtu.be/EG-j8TJDLwg?t=553

Putting aside the inferences used this far back in time when doing genealogy, King Sigebert III is my 40th great-granduncle. This is crazy to see a connection be discovered in this fashion. Wow! As always, Time Team, you're fantastic. Thank you!

2023-08-05 20:46:12 +0000 UTCNo, they're not hollow. As Anders says, it is an undesirable artifact of the 3D rendering program.

2023-08-05 01:36:43 +0000 UTCOK. Please consider it! I think it'd be really fun for those of us with 3D printers to print our own copy of what you all are finding. It would be an opportunity for us to have a physical copy of what you're finding. It'd be a great opportunity to bring a tactile experience to the show.

2023-07-24 02:38:38 +0000 UTCSince Sigebert died in 656 and coins are worn, is is likely that the Lady died around 686, or is it the fact that the coins are worn just isn''t evidence enough to speculate in any way about the time of her death?

2023-07-23 06:08:23 +0000 UTCI typed about: config because the 3D models never work in my Firefox. But it didn't know that command. So I can still not view these. Funny, after complaining and trying one more time it did work! :D I should complain more often. :D

2023-07-22 17:55:31 +0000 UTCHi Ben, models aren't currently available to download at the moment, but we're looking into the possibility of making some available in the future.
Time Team
2023-07-21 12:08:57 +0000 UTCDoes Time Team allow us to download the model files? I can't seem to find any sort of link in order to do so. It'd be nice to be able to 3D print these items. According to the SketchFab documentation, the creator has to explicitly allow people to download their models. Example: https://help.sketchfab.com/hc/en-us/articles/201368589-Downloading-3D-models

2023-07-20 20:54:04 +0000 UTCCould the 'upside down' crosses on the obverse, be so designed, that to the wearer, they looked as we would expect?

2023-07-20 17:13:04 +0000 UTCThey both have a similar picture that to my amateur eyes looks like a person holding a very fish/bag. Is there any particular significance to that image? Do we know what it actually represents?
Dominic Lacroix
2023-07-20 15:41:47 +0000 UTCIt's an artefact of the modelling. Previously, we'we also seen 3D images of pits, that could be viewed from the outside.

CCZ
2023-07-20 14:14:34 +0000 UTCAre these "coin pendants" hollow? The 3D models seem to show a black edge part of the way round, with gold for the rest.
