Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
Lilly Chitty Collection
A Mesolithic microlith (7,000 to 4,000 BC), off-white in colour.
This piece is sub-elliptical in plan and sub-rectilinear in section. The fourth of 10 pieces, this piece has the number "4" written in biro on the ventral face. The colour owes its origins to patination in chalk downland rather than having been burnt. There is minimal evidence of retouch on the blade edges of this microlith, however these edges remain sharp to this day - a lack of retouch does not account for a lack of utility. Whilst possessing 2 parallel edges running its length, this micr…

Broad period: MESOLITHIC

Lilly Chitty Collection
A Mesolithic microlith/bladelet (7,000 to 4,000 BC), grey in colour with a slightly blue hue.
This piece is sub-triangular in plan and sub-triangular in section. This piece belongs to Type F of the Clark classification (Clark, 1934), however Clark himself has dated this piece to the Bronze Age; in the judgment of the identifier, this piece is more likely to be of the former. It has evidence of retouch on all edges but the most distal. At this end on the ventral face is an erailleur scar. The dorsal face comprises 4 main facets. The proximal end tapers to …

Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy object, possibly a pin or an awl dating to the Roman period. The object possesses a irregular circular-section stem which tapers to a point at both ends. A seam is visible along the length of the stem, which is obviously the result of a flat piece of copper-alloy being rolled and hammered to form a circular-section form. The object measures 94mm in length and has a maximum diameter of 4mm.

An iron object, possibly a spatula or probe dating to the Roman period. The object possesses a circular-section stem which tapers at one end to a point.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast, copper alloy, zoomorphic Roman brooch in the shape of a fly probably dating from AD 150 - 250. The foot of the brooch is globular and forms the head of the fly; this is separated from the body by a narrow, raised, transverse collar. The body then is a plate which consists of two wings with rounded ends. The head of the brooch bends beckwards at 90 degrees to the body of the fly and terminates in a slot for the pin, but is broken here. Most of the catchplate is also missing. The brooch has a worn green patina. Compare an example in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue, number 1638 on pag…
