To the best of my knowledge (from the curator at the museum where the
band is held) the reasons for this view are:
1. the only other known band in a similar technique is from a secure
mediaeval context (chevrons not diamonds, but the same alternate-tablet
turning and double-sided structure, most distinctive)
2. the strap end resembles mediaeval ones (though it also look exactly
like the saxon ones from the area, see T.C. Lethbridge, can dig out
paper if required)
3. the context of the find was "anglo saxon" but there isn't that great
a record of the dig, it being before archaeologists improved.
I didn't think it had been proved, however. And I'm sure they won't want
a sample to be taken for dating - it's awful small!

Ok, I'll bite:
I'm starting in on the threaded in pattern from St John's Cambridge,
which I thought was Anglo-Saxon, but now I'm seeing (courtesy of
Christina Krupp) that Penelope Walton Rogers says on pg 219 of Cloth and
Clothing of A-S England that this piece has recently been proved to be
of medieval origin instead, but she gives no further info as to where
one can read more about this change in opinion. Googling it doesn't
seem to be helping.
Any ideas where I can find out more??
Thanks!
