Copper alloy possible stylus. Cast round section rod with a moulded point at one end, flat at the other. The form closely resembles that of both lead dry-points of medieval date and the similar lead pencils for schoolroom use which are of later post-medieval date. Late Roman finds are prominent in the vicinity, so this may be a fragment wjhich has lost the spatulate eraser usually associated with Rpman styli.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy object, most likely a finger ring of unknown date. The ring has a bezel which is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section with a thickness of c. 1.5-2mm. It is curved in profile, which may be a combination of its original shape to fit the curvature of a finger, and post-depositional distortion. At one end, this has a rounded edge which may represent a terminal break. At the other end, it narrows steeply towards a thin hoop, c. 1.5-1.8mm wide. The hoop is heavily distorted and curved back on itself. At the opposite end, it widens again sharply to a small s…

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of casting waste. The fragment is a long thin narrow bar but with a slightly irregular form and section being globular at points and sub-rectangular at others. It has a medium green patina. The object is 93.2mm long, c.10mm wide, 4.6mm thick and weighs 13.66 grams. The object's irregular form suggests this object may have been the result of the casting process but is not a component part of an object.

Object type: CASTING WASTE

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two (2) copper-alloy fragments of casting waste of uncertain date. The pieces are irregularly shaped globules of solidified molten metal. They are irregular in form and section with no identifying features. Cremation material of Early-Medieval date has also been found in this area. These pieces may represent further additions to this though the lack of identifiable features makes this difficult to ascertain.  1: Weight: 6g; Length: 35mm; Width: 20.1mm; Thickness: 5mm. 2: Weight: 1.4g; Length: 14.8mm; Width: 8.8mm; Thickness: 2.8mm.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Stone rubber. A water-rolled pebble with abundant black flecks to diameter 3mm, with one flattened sub-triangular surface. The object is of a size to fit snugly in the hand and may have been used for a grinding or polishing task using the flat face. The use of a probable Glacial Erratic for such purposes might be ascribed to Prehistory, or indeed any time up to the Viking Age, when the international supply of stone for specialist purposes was revived.

Object type: OYSTER SHELL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Oyster shell. The bottom half of an edible oyster shell. A seafood diet was introduced or expanded under Roman rule, when British oysters acquired an empire-wide reputation. Oysters remained as a common foodstuff into the early post-medieval period, their availability probably only declining with environmental degradation in industrial times – though Viking Age York contrived to pollute its waterways to an extent which altered the local faunal range significantly.
