Incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic strap-end of Medieval date, in the form of a stylised animal head with elongated nose, protruding eyes and upturned triangular ears. The eyes are formed from an arrangement of four raised ridges (two forming the eyelids, one between with 2 slightly flattened areas forming the pupils and one above forming a brow ridge), above this and between the ears there are four incised chevrons for decoration.

Object type: MORTARIUM
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Published
Large worn rim sherd from a wheel made Roman food preparation bowl, or mortarium, probably dating from the 2nd or 3rd century AD. A large part of the rim and part of the body survives. The mortarium was made from a pale white/creamy coloured- fabric with smaller sandy inclusions. The fabric now has a pale sandy hue and could possibly be Nene Valley white ware. On the internal face some of the dark grits can be seen; these were included to aid grinding. The surface on the outside of the vessel is even and smooth. The heavy rim is of the hammer headed type, suggesting a later date, i.e.…

Record ID: NARC-8D1BE2
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper allloy vessel handle from a Medeival to Post-medieval date. The handle from a skillet or copper alloy pan. 65mm long. Circular in section. Broken at the terminal, which is 12mm in diameter. The opposite end is flat and slightly concave, which represents the inner surface of the vessel it was attached to. The base, or vessel end, is 23mm long and 19.5mm wide. A dark green patina with blackened areas suggesting fire damage through use. Sooting on the handle break suggests proximity to fire after the damage, probably through continual use. According to Butler, Green and P…

Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy object of Post-medieval date. Reddish-brown patina. Circular in plan. D-shaped in section. Linear scratches on the flat surface may be a motif. This object may be a small coin weight. However, coin weights of this size and shape are uncommon. An alternative use may be a gaming piece. There is no visible scar on the reverse to suggest that it was a button, or that it was ever attached to another component. By recording this as a 'coin weight', rather than 'unidentified object', it allows experts in that field to review this record and make changes if necessary.

Record ID: PUBLIC-8CAB15
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint flake which has been used as a scraper at both ends. The original flake has been snapped off at the distal end with some signs of retouch for possible use as an end scraper. At the proximal end there is retouch on the dorsal face. Retouch is apparent on right hand margin ventral view. No sign of cortex remaining. The flint is of a mid grey colour with mottled cream flecks and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond[2004] illustrates a similar example on page 141, fig 5.127, No.7 which is dated to the Neolithic.
