Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a ceramic vessel of uncertain date. The fragment is a body sherd with hard and coarse fabric of a dark brownish-orange colour. Numerous small quartz inclusions are present within the fabric. The fragment is 52.5mm long, 23.8mm wide, 10mm thick and weighs 15.5g. Generic fabric types such as this with no specific diagnostic features can be difficult to date precisely and range from Iron Age to medieval in date. However, it seems probable that this sherd is from a hand made vessel which suggests an earlier date.

Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy object, probably either a stud from an item of furniture or a gaming counter for a game such as cribbage. The object terminates in a conical head and an integrally cast shank emerges below. This tapers gradually to a point. The relatively crude appearance of the shank perhaps suggests that it was intended to remain hidden, making a stud from a piece of furniture more likely than a gaming piece. The object is heavily abraded and corroded and now has a dark green to brown colour, missing most of its suface patina. The object lacks any distinuigishing characteristics …

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of cast copper-alloy metal working debris. It is rectangular in form, D-shaped in section and terminates at both ends in old breaks. The surfaces demonstrate signs of post-depositional wear and corrosion, and are crudely/unevenly finished. It measures 24.94mm in length, 8.79mm in width, 5.04mm in thickness and 5.72g in weight. Although this fragment has a relatively uniform shape it does not appear to have been finished as a complete object. It is possible that it is a fragment from a larger object that has been subject to damage and/or re-use, but it seems most likely that…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable pin manufactured from cast copper alloy. The object has a flattened disc-like terminal decorated with two raised horizontal lines, the shaft is rectangular in section around the middle, tapering to a point. This object may be part of a brooch fastening, or used for securing clothing. Broadly similar examples, also from Lincolnshire, may be found on this database including NCL-DOCEC4. That particular example has been identified as an early medieval pin, dating from the 8th-9th centuries.

A cast copper-alloy gaming die. Dating dice is difficult as they were used at various stages in history. It may be Roman through to post-medieval in date. The die is cuboid with drilled holes on each face for numbers. The numbers on the die are arranged so that the one and two are at opposite faces whilst the three, four, five and six are arranged in order on each adjacent face. Each face measures approximately 12.5 mm wide. The die weighs 13.6 grams. It has an abraded dark green patina.
