last night, Anna showed me more photos she'd taken of the finds in situ. I'm hoping she'll let me put them up here.
One thing which I don't think has been clear (or at least wasn't to me) is that those small discs have integral shanks, more like round headed rivets or pins than anything else. The ends of the shanks are bent, but not enough (in my opinion) to secure them into a leather backing (as conjectured on site). It's very, very odd.
