Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of bone of unknown date. It is part of a long bone, judging from the size, from a cow or horse. With only part of the shaft remaining, it is not possible to be certain of the species. The thickness perhaps indicates a tibia. The bone is not fresh, so is likely to be archaeological, but cannot be dated without using scientific techniques. Since it was found on Marston Moor Battlefield, a date of 1644 is perhaps most likely.

A group of five small rounded lead alloy weight pellets, their collective weight being 2.83gram. The individual dimensions of each pellet is: 1: Weight 0.72 grams Diameter 5.30mm 2: Weight 0.73 grams Diameter 4.64mm 3: Weight 0.49 grams Diameter 3.88mm 4: Weight 0.54 grams Diameter 4.53mm 5: Weight 0.34 grams Diameter 3.55mm. One object (0.73g) is a neat sphere with four circular depressions, one on each face leaving rounded ends. This looks to have been carefully made. The others are less neat, but all are rounded with facets. Compare SWYOR-21D072 and SWYOR-E…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A damaged copper alloy strap end of Early Medieval date. It splits at one end to for a slot for the strap, but most of both plates are missing. The closed end is also missing and the sides are damaged. This makes it hard to determine the original shape and therefore the class. The front is decorated with niello in the grooves of an incised design. A pentagon shaped panel at the open end extends by curving lines down the centre of the body of the strap end. The design is unclear.

Object type: PIN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy pin of Medieval date with a wire wound head. The circular shaft tapers to a point and is complete. The head is made from a separate piece of wire coiled round the top of the shaft. the spiral starts at the bottom and travels up to the right. The head formed is spherical. Similar pins are described in Egan and Pritchard and a late Medieval date of 1300 - 1500 AD is suggested. Most of the patina has been lost, but otherwise the pin is in good condition. Compare WMID3683.

Object type: DIE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A crudely cast, lead alloy die. The numbers are indicated by circular pits. The sum of the dots on opposing sides is not seven, as in regular dice, but 4, 7 and 10 respectively (1 & 3, 2 & 5, and 4 & 6), suggesting that it may possibly be of Roman date, 43-410AD. Egan in Finds Research Group Datasheet 23 suggests that medieval and later dice are usually of the regular layout. Alternatively, it could be a home made irregular die of later date. Compare SWYOR-13BAF7, IOW-F6ADA3, HAMP-1FD124,LEIC-5721E8, SWYOR-0B2B80 and LEIC-8806C0.

A complete cast copper alloy thimble of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date (about 1400-1650). The thimble has a shallow domed top and angled sides. The exterior is decorated with a continuous spiral of D shaped pits or depressions covering the sides and top; there is no tonsure. There is a plain undecorated border approximately 4.3 - 5.6mm wide around the base. The bottom end of the spiral is corroded so it is not clear if there was a maker's mark here. The thimble has a dark green-brown patina. Examples of the spiral design from this period may be seen at PAS record IDs: DENO-…

A lead alloy spindle whorl of probable Medieval date. The spindle whorl is sub circular in plan and sub rectangular in cross section with rounded edges.

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy seal matrix of Medieval date (about 1200-1500). The matrix face is circular and the conical handle has six facets. The terminal of the handle is a suspension loop, but this has been broken; only a stub remains were the loop was. There is a thick collar between the loop and the shaft. The edges of the face are worn and broken which unfortunately makes most of the legend illegible. The following letters in the legend can be made out: "WILL DE(O)[-](CIS)[---](DCA)[-]" so it was probably a personal seal of William (Surname missing). The design is of a stylised…
