Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy thimble of medieval date. The thimble has a worn circular base from which the sides taper and curve inwards towards the top. The crown of the thimble has been lost to old breaks and there is a crack extending the full length of the object. A second crack is also present, adjacent to the first, covering roughly half the length. Drilled pits of slightly different sizes decorate the thimble in an irregular pattern across its surface. The inside of the thimble is undecorated.
The metal is a light brownish-green colour and is worn. The thimble is 19.2mm in …

Record ID: YORYM-530EF3
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete stone axehead of Neolithic date. The axehead is sub-oval in both plan and section with extensive damage to one side. One face is smooth and polished while the other has lost much of its original surface due to damage resulting in a rough irregular appearance. The cutting edge of the axe is still fairly sharp with two small damaged notches to either side.
The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which…

Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead pilgrim's ampulla of medieval date. The body of the ampulla is sub-circular with an elongated rectangular neck which has been slightly crushed due to post-depositional damage. On each side of the ampulla semi-circular suspension loops are present though one has been crushed against the body. Both faces of the ampulla carry moulded decoration; one side bears a wide, irregular cross with radiating lines and the other is very worn rendering the exact design indeterminable.
The metal is a dark blackish-brown colour and is extremely worn. The ampulla is 44.4mm long, 3…

Record ID: YORYM-541E67
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead object of uncertain date and function. Both surfaces are decorated with a series of conjoined lozenge shapes resembling scales and both have circular protrusions for eyes. One side also bears a raised triangular fin-like protrusion while the reverse demonstrates a protruding knop, possibly incomplete but is a possible mount. These features give the appearance of a fish design though no parallels could be found.
The metal is a mid whitish-grey colour and is worn. The object is 70.6mm long, 35.9mm wide, 21.3mm thick and weighs 156g.

An incomplete stone axehead of Neolithic date. The axehead is triangular in plan and oval in section with extensive damage along one edge. Both faces are largely smooth and polished however both have numerous chipped and broken areas. The cutting edge of the axe remains largely in tact and is still fairly sharp.
The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which allowed it to be highly polished. It is likely that axes…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint leaf shaped lithic of probable Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC), possibly a waste flake with some indication of retouching to the lateral margins. There are four main negative scars on the dorsal surface which create a raised triangular plan toward the proximal end, each of which contain cracking ripples, the distal end terminates in a point. One area of demonstrable cracking ripples are present on the ventral surface from one negative scar, the ventral surface however is predominantly smooth and without large negative scars.
The lithic is light brown with cream inclus…

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy circular loop of uncertain date. The loop has know datable diagnostic features. It is possibly a strap loop and just possibly a very small finger ring, although the small diameter (external 18.43 mm, internal 13.4 mm) and relatively crude execution perhaps makes this less likely. The loop tapers from 4.56 mm in height to 3.55 mm, and from 3.26 mm thick to 2.6 mm. The outer surface is much abraded and corroded but the interior has a smooth dark green patina.
