Record ID: YORYM-A2E2F3
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC .The spearhead is triangular in plan and has been broken just above the neck where the shaft would have fitted. It is decorated on both sides with a raised central ridge and grooves radiating from the terminal point. The point has been bent slightly 40.6mm below the terminal point and there is a stress fracture present on the surface to indicate this. An insufficient portion of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be confidently attributed. Howe…

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but heavily corroded cast copper alloy flanged axehead of early Bronze Age date. The axehead is sub-rectangular in plan with a narrow and thin rounded butt end which extends to a curved cutting edge with splayed blade. Raised flanges are present along the edges of both sides of the axehead each showing signs of heavily wear. No casting flashes are visible though this may be due to the advance nature of the corrosion.
The metal has a mid brownish-green colour and is worn. The axehead is 112.1mm long, 50.2mm wide at the blade, 21.9mm wide at the butt end, 18.1mm thick and we…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
TREASURE CASE : 2015 T76.
Description: A complete gold penannular ring. The object is circular in both shape and cross section with a narrow gap between the terminals which are flat ended. The surface comprises gold of a bright yellow colour decorated with narrow stripes of a paler silvery gold which can be clearly seen on the interior of the ring but are barely visible on the outer edge. The stripes appear fairly evenly spaced. While it is common for such objects to be formed around a copper alloy core there is no obvious visual evidence of it here.
