Last year in Norfolk a new type of Ale Sca silver unit was found which varies significantly from VA 996, BMC 4576, Chris Rudd list 54, no.48. Assuming that the boar’s forelegs stand for II (which equates with the Celtic letter E) and that the final letter is O (not N), we may read the new inscription as ALII FF SCAVO, which might be interpreted as 'Ale son-of-son of Scavo' or ‘made by Ale son of Scavo.’ Dr Philip de Jersey sees a vague parallel with the blundered Aun Cost legends which sometimes read CNAVO (Chris Rudd list 45, no.19). We’ll publish a fuller report later.                                                                          6.1.03
