A flint retouched flake, possibly used as a point or borer, probably dating from the later Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age, 3300 BC - 500 BC. It is formed on a tertiary blade of dark grey flint with some inclusions on the right hand side. It is a pointed oval shape with previous removal scars on the dorsal face. There is edge damage on the sides, as well as some longer removals at the proximal left corner and proximal end, which remove the striking platform, though the bulb of percussion is still clear. There is short abrupt scaled retouch round the point, though also possible damage. …

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead weight of the Medieval or Post Medieval periods, about AD 1100-1800. The object is broadly conical though oval, with rough edges and surfaces. Off-centre is a sub-circular perforation that cuts through the length of the object. a hollow ring in the base suggests it was cast. It has a mottled grey and cream patina. Measurements; length 21.7mm, diameter 30.3mm, the diameter of perforation12.1mm, weight 61.01g. This mass corresponds to three ounces (3 oz or 1/4 mark) under the Troy system, but it is perhaps more likely that this object was used as a line weight or net sinker.

A flint debitage flake of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 10,000 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of yellow / tan flint with cortex on the striking platform and the left side. The flake is sub-oval. The dorsal face is covered with previous removal scars. There are also some scaled low-angle removals from the ventral face at the proximal right side, but these may be damage, as they do not appear to be intentional working. The flake is 22.2mm long, 19mm wide and 5.1mm thick. 2.6g.

Three ceramic vessel wall sherds, two of which join and which are probably all from a single vessel of uncertain date, Roman to Post Medieval, AD 43 - 1900. The piece that does not join has throwing ridges on the internal face that have the same pattern as the other two pieces. The fabric is dark orange throughout. It has a smooth feel and irregular breaks. There are frequent poorly sorted quartz inclusion and occasional large rounded black iron ore inclusions which break the surface. The pieces appear to have been joined in the past with a putty like substance, traces of wh…

A flint retouched chunk of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Iron Age, 10,000 BC - 1 BC. It is formed on a secondary chunk which has parallel removals on the dorsal face and cortex at the distal end. The distal end without cortex is irregular, perhaps battered. There is possible short, semi-abrupt, scaled retouch on the right side. There are also some low angle, invasive, scaled removals from the ventral face of the left side. It is not certain that the removals are intentional.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core which has been reused as a scraper, probably of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, 10,000 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on light grey flint which is partially patinated, with cortex along one edge and corner. The core is sub-square in plan, and oval in cross-section, of tabular form. There are two striking platforms, at right angles to each other, producing blades or small flakes. The core is worked out. There are two areas of retouch, at opposite corners, which interrupt the patination, suggesting it was done later than the initial working. The retouch is short, abrupt and scale…

A flint scraper of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Iron Age, 10,000 BC - 1BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of dark grey flint. It is sub-rectangular in plan. The proximal end has semi-abrupt, scaled, invasive removals on the dorsal face, which appear to be previous removals from the striking platform. The other three sides have short scaled, abrupt retouch; on the left edge it is from the dorsal face, but the rest of the working is from the ventral face. It is 20.2mm long, 31.1mm wide and 8.3mm thick. 4.96g.

A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date and function, probably AD 43 - 1800. In plan, it consists of a semicircular solid plate with the straight edge being wavy, with two concave area and rounded lobes between. In cross section the artefact is thicker at wavy side and then steps thinner in the centre, so the rounded side is thin. The edges are abrdaed, but there are no obvious breaks, and it has an overall brown and green patina. Dimensions: 20.6mm long, 15.1mm wide and 2.8mm thick. 2.6g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy object, possibly part of a cross-guard or quillon from a Medieval to Post Medieval dagger, dating from AD 1300 - 1600. The object is a bar of copper alloy, broken at one end. It has a rectangular cross-section but with a recess in the centre of the back face, so it is a square U shape in cross-section. The back face of the complete end is champfered; cast or cut or damaged at an angle so the upper face is longer than the back. There is no decoration and the metal has a rich green patina. It is 34.5mm long, 12.8mm wide and 6.2mm thick. 15.4g. The surviving recess is 27.8…

A cast, pear shaped lead weight or ingot of unknown date, probably Medieval to early Modern. It is flat on the underside and domed above. There is no decoration or piercing except for a deep, transverse slash, probably damage after deposition in the ground. The weight is 58.4mm long, 36.2mm wide and 20.4mm thick. It weighs 196g. This is equivalent to 6.91oz which seems to be too heavy for a 4 oz weight and too light for an 8 oz weight but is closest to the Roman septunx, which is 191.9g. It appears to have been cast in a spoon, and may simply be a convenient method of storing lead for…

A cast lead weight of uncertain date, possibly a net or line weight. It is in the form of a truncated cone with a flat base and a flat top which has been pierced with a central, circular perforation of internal diameter 6.6mm at the base and 4.2mm at the apex. Some shallow grooves are visible on the surface, two of which form a cross with unequal arms, but it is likely that these markings are later damage. The weight is 19mm high, 19.8mm in diameter, tapering to 13.3mm at the apex. It weighs 39.4g. It does not appear to correspond closely to any standardised weighing system, though it…
