Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Late Mesolithic flint microlith made from a tertiary flake of pale grey near transparent flint. It is rectangular in plan. Both the proximal and distal end terminate where they have been snapped, leaving hinge fractures. Dorsal ridge runs parallel approximately 1mm from the edge, for the entire length of the microlith. The other mesal edge, 2mm from the ridge, has extremely fine short, parallel, abrupt retouch. Dating from c7000 to c4000 BC. The length is 5mm, width 3mm, thickness 0.5mm, and the weight is less than 0.1g.

Copper alloy metalworking debris. Fragment of copper alloy with a bubbled surface on one side and possibly with flow lines on the other. One 'end' is dished, and this, together with a possibly ridged section of the object, might suggest this to be the remains of a cauldron leg detached and melted down during an episode of recycling. This identification would suggest a Medieval date for this activity. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1200-1500. Height: 43mm, Width: 35mm, Thickness: 25mm, Weight: 83.68gms

County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval copper alloy horse harness pendant. The item is shield shaped in plan. One face has traces of red enamel remaining but it is not possible to ascertain what the decoration is. The reverse face is plain and there are no traces of enamel. The top narrow to a short point- this presumably was the attachment loop for suspension but it has now partially broken away and worn. This harness pendant is particularly small in comparisson to other pendants, and it is possible that this was used for on a smaller animal rather than a horse (Brian Read, pers comm).

Description: A gold finger ring in the form of a D-sectioned band. The outer surface of this band bears a moulded herringbone pattern, with traces of niello or dark enamel remaining in some of the cells, and a single plain area, which may represent evidence of an enlargement.

Large and heavy Roman silver finger-ring set with an intaglio. Most of the lower part of the hoop is missing, but is of rectangular profile which expands and swells to triangular shoulders and flat ovoid bezel. Around the top of the ring is a collar of gilding. The intaglio is a pale orange carnelian engraved with a figure of Victory crowning a standing figure of Mars with his head turned the right, unusually away from Victory. The surface of the ring is very tarnished, suggesting that it has been out of the ground for some time. Discussion: no good parallels can be found for th…
