Object type: KILN FURNITURE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of very hard fine grained stone which seems to have been used as kiln furniture, or been in a pottery kiln for another reason, because it has glaze covering one end, which probably ran off the vessels in the kiln during firing. The glaze is clear with patches of rich olive green (iron based?) and on one face is very thick and bubbly, and discoloured to a purple brown. The stone is pink on the outer face where not glazed, and grey inside. The stone has fractured, perhaps due to heat. The stone looks to have been roughly rectangular before it broke. It may have been used as a sp…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper dating from the late Neolithic period, about 2500 BC - 2100 BC. It is an oval flake of opaque grey flint with cortex surviving on part of the proximal end. The flake was formed by blows from two striking platforms; the first from the distal end which is now worked, and the second from the end with surviving cortex, which is thus described as the proximal end. The distal end has been worked into a wide scraper with high quality invasive shallow retouch. There is evidence of both percussion and pressure flaking.

A copper alloy medieval harness pendant dating from 1200 - 1405 AD. The pendant is shield shaped and has a blue enamel background covered with fleur de lis.

In fact, as coins show, the edict took some time to take effect, …
