Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy tanged and collared chisel dating from the Late Bronze Age, that is c. 1000-800BC. The chisel is in good condition, but very worn. It has a long tange with square cross-section, that tapers to a point. It would have held the wooden or antler/bone handle. There is a stop-ridge with three additional collar mouldings between the tang and the blade. The blade is triangular with softly-rounded edges. It appears to have started off much wider/larger but it looks to have been used extensively and it was repeatedly resharpened, resulting in a small triangular blade with roun…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Published
A penny of Eadgar, AD959-975 (EMC 2014.0296); parts of the circumference are missing in two areas. The obverse has been gilded. The edge of a small circular hole survives in the edges of one of the breaks which, together with the gilding, suggests that the coin was converted into a brooch, the hole being one of two used to attach a pin.
The coin is of a previously unrecorded type. In view of the missing portions the best guess is that the obverse would originally have read EA / DG / AR / REX (in a design reminiscent of the Luda penny of Alfred); it would fit in with other revival…
