Lead possible dental cast. A crescentic fragment of lead bearing what resemble the cast triangular impressions of closely spaced teeth; patinated. This may have been formed adventitiously by a gnawing animal, or possibly through the taking of impressions for dentistry, though whether human or veterinary remains uncertain.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy weight. Cast discoid weight with a low upstanding bevelled rim, probably from a nesting set. A circumferential line on the concave side and a central pit may both suggest the object to have been finished on a lathe. On the same surface, a pair of juxtaposed marks, each with a pit at one end of a line, might refer to either value or checking. A further stamped device, resembling a vessel with broad base and spout, may indicate official checking. The system the weight observes is uncertain, though its mass equates to just over seven drachms under the averdepois system. Sugg…

County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White heavily patinated flint with cortex, probably from Glacial Drift, possibly a fragment of debitage reworked as a muller or grinder. A small sub-rectangular and handy block with crystalline fracturing along all its arises. The flint has been very roughly trimmed by two or three strokes of abrupt hard hammer working in antiquity; such rough work is typical of the Bronze Age. It was then probably abandoned, as subsequent grinding appears to post-date the formation of a dense white patina on all exposed surfaces. This later use seems to have been to grind material with the considerab…
