Object type: BEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An annular ring, probably a bead, probably of prehistoric date, but uncertain, potentially Bronze Age to Roman, BC 1100 - 410. The object is annular in plan, with a circular hole which is not central, of 7.2mm diameter. It is a thick oval in cross-section, and the ring is thicker at one side than at the other. The hole is nearer to the thinner part. There is a irregular concavity (3mm diameter) on the outer face of the thinnest part of the ring, which is probably a casting flaw. The bead is also decorated with a narrow circumferential ridge around the outer face. The ridge intersects w…

An incomplete copper alloy Bronze Age tanged knife or razor dating from the middle to late Bronze Age, about 2,150 BC - 800 BC. The object has a narrow and tapering flat tang of rectangular cross-section, which flares smoothly to the shoulders of the blade. The tip of the tang is missing but it appears to be non-pierced.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint chunk, possibly minimally worked into a denticulate, of possible Bronze Age or Iron Age date, 2200 BC - 200 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of patinated mottled light grey flint, and has much cortex surviving, covering all but 2 faces. The chunk is a knobbly nodule, with two struck faces at right angles to each other. A notch in the centre of the right side of the larger flat face could be intentional, with short, scalar, abrupt retouch, but could also be natural damage. There are also some removals from the distal end of the large flat face, on the right, but these …

A flint flake, possibly a utilised flake, or retouched flake possibly of late Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 3300 BC - 600 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of dark grey flint, and is oval, wider than it is long. There is cortex on the distal right side of the dorsal face. There are a few previous removal scars and possible platform preparation on the dorsal face, but the flake otherwise appears to be as struck. The curved distal end may have been utilised as a knife or cutting tool. There is possible exceedingly fine retouch, but this is so slight that it is pro…

A complete, but folded, sheet gold basket-shaped ornament of Bronze Age date (2500-2200 BC). The object is composed of a single, oval sheet of gold, rolled into a cylinder. There is an integral, flat, sub-rectangular tang projecting from the centre of one long edge which appears to be truncated. In use, the object would have been a tube, but this example has been further folded. Both ends have been folded towards the middle, and the tube has been flattened, making the ornament now sub-rectangular. There is a crease visible about 2mm from the edge of the sheet all the way round, like a …

County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A highly worn fragment of copper-alloy axehead, probably a flat axehead, of Early to Middle Bronze Age date about 2400 BC - 1400 BC. The axehead survives as part of the splayed crescent blade and part of the body of the axe including one curved side where it flares to the cutting edge. The blade is very worn and only part of the cutting edge survives. In profile the fragment tapers to the cutting edge. The breaks are uneven and patinated, but not worn. The object has a heavily pitted green and mottled brown patinated surface. It is 33.8mm long, 37.1mm wide and 9.9mm thick. 37.1g.…

Object type: RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A probably Late Bronze Age (1100-750 BC) solid gold ring of hexagonal cross-section, with flat upper and lower faces, and the internal and external faces to either side being angled. Two areas opposite each other display some wear gloss on the inner surfaces. The outer faces have fairly uniform lack of wear, but do have some scratches. It is 28.4mm external diameter, 20.5mm internal diameter, 4mm thick and weighs 13.2g. The internal angle makes it unlikely that this ring was worn as a finger ring. It is likely to have been a linking component of a composite object or suite of fit…
