A copper-alloy awl, probably dating from the Late Bronze Age (about 1150 BC - 800 BC). The widest point of the artefact is approximately two thirds along, either side of which it tapers. The longer part has a rectangular cross section and extends to a wedge-shaped terminal; the other side is of circular cross section and terminates in a sharp point. The artefact has a smooth, well-developed blue green patina. It is 43mm long, 3.8mm wide and 3.6mm thick. 2.59g. The form of the awl does not change much through time and similar objects are also noted in the Roman period and possibly l…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed axe of Late Bronze Age date ( about 1000 - 800 BC). The object can be classified as fitting into the Ewart Park phase of metalwork. The object has been broken and just the tip, including the deepest part of the socket survives. The object is sub-rectangular in plan with the cutting edge flaring outwards to form a convex cutting edge. The cutting edge is almost complete but is very abraded. It measures 41mm in width, and is 1.4mm thick. At the incomplete socket end the object measures 34.8mm in width and is 12.1mm thick. The remaining socke…

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A gold penannular ring made from three strands of wire, and probably dating from the Middle to Late Bronze Age. The strands of wire are stacked on top of each other to produce a ribbed effect. The wires are all of 1.7mm diameter and are almost circular in cross-section. The ends are cut on an angle and the longer side of each is slightly burred.One strand has separated slightly from the others at one end revealing a rough surface on the wire below where they were once joined and there are a number of stress cracks elsewhere on the ring. Similar objects from the British Museum collectio…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy ribbed socketed axe of Late Bronze Age date (1000 - 800 BC). The object can be classified as fitting into the Ewart Park phase of metalwork. The axe is sub-rectangular in plan with the cutting edge expanding outwards. The cutting edge of the axe is missing and the break is patinated, though perhaps to a less extent than the rest of the axe. The broken edges are not worn. This break may be intentional and may indicate ritual deposition. The socket has a sub square mouth (internal width 29.22mm, internal length 28mm, external width 40.5mm, exter…

A cast copper alloy side looped and socketed spearhead of Middle Bronze Age date, about 1550 - 1250 BC; Davis Group 6, 'developed side looped'. The tip of the blade and some of the socket are missing. The breaks are patinated. The spearhead is broadly sub-triangular in plan and profile with an incomplete and abraded leaf-shaped blade. Two single cast 'string' side loops are present, one on either edge. The spearhead measures 75.4mm length, has a maximum width of 17.8mm across the base of the blade, and maximum thickness of 13.6mm across the socket. The depth of the…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The tip (cutting edge) of a Late Bronze Age socketed axehead dating from about 1000 - 700 BC. The cutting edge is worn and rounded. It is wider than the rest of the axe; the sides curve inwards. The casting seams are visible on the edges, but they have been smoothed. The break is also patinated suggesting the axe has been broken in the ground for a long time. The patination on the inside of the socket is darker. On the outside, the smooth olive green patina survives in places, but patches are missing showing lighter coloured corroded metal beneath. Compare KENT-279A24.

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy incomplete spearhead dating from the later Middle Bronze Age, about 1400 – 1125 BC. Davis Group 10, 'protected looped'. Only one side (wing) of the leaf shaped blade survives, and the tip is missing. The centre rib is circular in section and hollow (socketed). The lower edge of the blade is rounded, though this is emphasised by also being bent. There is a carefully made hole through the wing next to the rib at the base. The hole has corroded edges and its original shape is not clear. It has a D shaped (in plan and section) cast raised flange on the sid…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small fragment of a copper alloy unidentified object which may date from the Bronze Age. The fragment is triangular in plan and slightly curved in section. The edges are rounded and worn. One end is thicker than the other. It has a well developed green patina. Though it is not possible to say what object this is part of, the wear, metal and patina suggest a Bronze Age date. Though not associated, the fact that a Bronze Age spear tip was found in an adjacent field may be significant.
