The Norfolk HER assigns Middle Saxon, Late Saxon, and Middle/Late Saxon periods to all its coins and artefacts, so it was possible to carry these dates over directly into the VASLE project, although in order to facilitate the dating analysis artefacts dated only as 'MS' or 'LS' in the SourceDate field were re-coded with an arbitrary numeric date ('753' or '953' respectively). For example, an artefact broadly dated as 'MS/LS' was re-coded with a SourceDateFrom '753' and a SourceDateTo '953'.
