Record ID: BERK-0605B4
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead alloy spindle whorl of probable Early-medieval date. The spindle whorl is plano-convex with a rising to a flat-topped peak, through which is the central perforation (8.2mm diameter) that extends right through the object. The sides of the whorl are decorated with sets of vertical lines; unusually the underside of the spindle whorl is also decorated, with four lines set equidistant around the base. While spindle whorls are hard to date out of context, similar whorls are discussed in Walton Rogers (2007). She suggests that this shape and central holes of a diameter of 6-9…

Object type: RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper-alloy ring of uncertain date. The object is oval in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. The object is worn and there is no visible decoration. It has a dark green patina. This object may have functioned as a finger-ring or a decorative binding ring on a larger object such as a walking stick or umbrella. It is probably post-medieval in date, perhaps 18th or 19th century.

Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Jet possible pendant fragment. Flat fragment from the curved end of a plate with a round countersunk aperture of diameter c.5mm drilled from both sides, and with a smoothed angled facet along one edge. The object is broken along a diagonal line which could suggest its original form to have been sub-triangular, and is encrusted with roughened textures at aperture and along lower broken edge. Jet has long been regarded as magical in that it is a stone that may float or burn, and, like amber, it collects static electricity if rubbed.
Objects of this form do not appear among Roman je…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible palstave axe fragment. Cast fragment from the angular edge of a hollow cast object with its sides meeting each other at right angles, of overall L section. The object appears to have tapered, and the extent of bubbled material on its inside surface increases as its sides converge. The outer surface bears patches of tarry material, possibly sooting, which carry across one fracture surface and appears as a small spot on the inner surface. Suggested date: possibly Middle Bronze Age, 1601-1000 BC.

Workflow stage: Published
A Roman copper alloy incomplete nail cleaner with moulded neck and shouldered blade. It has a circular suspension loop set at a right angle to the blade, which contains traces of iron corrosion product. Below this is short handle with bead, reel and spool mouldings. The blade is leaf-shaped and its tip is missing. A very similar example was found at Lion Walk, Colchester (Crummy 1983, 58, 1872). Crummy (ibid.) suggests that this is a developed form that was in use from the mid to late 1st century, probably continuing into the 2nd century.
