Object type: MULLER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of greenstone cobble, triangular in plan, C-shaped in profile and semi-circular in section. The upper surface is rising at an 80-70 degree angle to the top of the stone, which would have been quite rounded, and the base has been ground flat, with two separate smooth-worn facets on the upper and lower faces, probably from use as a rubbing stone. This is one of a group of cobbles found in the same area, made of various materials, that were used as domestic artefacts such as mullers, rubbers and whetstones. All of these would be at home on a Middle Bronze Age settlement. Unfort…

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
A microlith formed on a bladelet of grey brown flint. The left margin has been abruptly retouched and blunted along its length forming a point at the distal end. The right margin is unretouched and sharp with a small natural nick in the edge. It may have been hafted with the blunt edge set with resin into a groove in a wood or bone tool. Butler(2005) illustrates a small lanceolate piece on page 101, fig 39, 14.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A shield-shaped cast lead weight, perhaps a trade weight, probably dating from the medieval period. The rally record does not record the mass of this object as it exceeded the maximum measurable on the scales. Given that it exceeded 200g, it may be equivelent to half an averdupois/avoirdupois pound. Also known as a 'wool pound', this measurement came into general use in the 14th century. The weight has a raised field in the centre; other examples on this database feature heraldic designs within this field, e.g. YORYM-529DB8.

Record ID: LIN-2A7B54
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A medieval copper alloy mount. The object consists of a flat oval plate with central circular attachment hole and a flat hook, with traces of gilding remaining on the surface. The mount is somewhat similar to hooked tags of Read's class A type 2 (Brian Read 2008: Hooked-clasps and Eyes, p.14), which date to the Early Medieval period. However, the presence of gilding and also the shape of the hook suggest a later date.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A double loop buckle manufactured from cast copper alloy. The buckle has projecting knops at the ends of the strap bar, which is recessed into the frame. The pin and plate are missing, and the surface has the remains of a black laquer coating. Ross Whitehead describes this type of buckle as "extremely common" during the mid 14th to late 17th centuries, and illustrates a similar example.

Record ID: LIN-29BD74
Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A double loop buckle, probably dating from the post-medieval period. The buckle is manufactured from cast copper-alloy, and has expanded outer edges with a narrowed strap bar. Ross Whitehead describes this type as dating from the mid 14th-mid 17th C, and discusses the difficulty of closely dating these plain buckle types. The object is in fair condition, with some surface wear and corrosion. The pin is missing from the frame.

Object type: MULLER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
Large granite cobble, used as a complete well-worn muller, oval in plan and plano-convex in profile and in section. The upper surface is convex with some wear and pitting and the base has been ground flat during its use as a muller, and then damaged more recently by the plough, judging by the gashes to the base and side of the stone. The sides also have several facets or shallow concavities due to damage. This is one of a group of cobbles found in the same area, made of various materials, that were used as domestic artefacts such as mullers, rubbers and whetstones. All of these would …
