Incomplete copper-alloy pin of early medieval date (c. 800 - 900 AD). The pin head is largely globular in shape with a flat top and faceted ridge running around the middle of the pin head at the widest point. A ridged collar separates the pin head from the shank. The shank is oval in section and has lost its end. The object has a smooth dark green patina. It is 17.02mm in length and weighs 2.92g. The diameter of the pin head is 8.56mm. Pins of this type have been found in strong contexts dating to the early medieval period. This type is typical of the ninth century. See Haldenby, E…

Record ID: YORYM-E841F9
Object type: DODECAHEDRON
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a copper alloy dodecahedron dating to the Roman period (AD 43 - AD 410). In their full form, dodecahedrons are hollow, twelve-sided objects. This fragment consists of one complete edge with two spherical lugs in each corner. Each face of the dodecahedron would have contained a circular hole, and the edges of three circles are visible on this fragment. Surrounding two of these is a double incised border, which presumably forms two concentric rings around the holes. The reverse is hollow and undecorated. The metal is worn and mid green in colour. The fragment is 29.5…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment from a polished stone axehead of Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2350 BC), made from stone from Langdale, Cumbria. The fragment is light green in colour, with a smooth polished surface. The fragment seems to be from the butt end of the axehead; a small section of tapered edge from the butt end is evident, as well as one side edge. Much of the original face survives on one side but is largely missing on the other. Overall, the axehead appears to have been pointed oval in section. The fragment is 38.47mm in length, 47.89mm in width and 17.93mm in thickness. It weighs 36.59g. Langd…

Fragment probably from the butt end of a polished stone axehead of Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2350 BC). The fragment is tapered at the edge but widens rapidly. It has a pointed oval section. A portion has broken off to the side of one of the faces. The original surface of the object is smooth, while the surface of the breaks is rough. The butt edge is slightly chipped. The fragment is 50.97mm in length, 30.72mm in width and 34.48mm in thickness. It weighs 38.96g.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment probably from the blade end of a polished stone axehead of Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2350 BC). The fragment appears to be the corner of the blade end of the axehead, with a diagonal break at the top of the fragment. A section of the tapered curved cutting edge is evident and a side edge, which is set at an angle suggestive that the object flared towards the blade edge. Enough can be made out to infer that the overall section of the object would have been oval. The stone is rough with quartz inclusions. The fragment is 52.61mm in length, 25.86mm in width and 24.49mm in thickne…

Complete rounded flint scraper, dating within the period from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age (c. 10000 - 1600 BC). The flint is broadly triangular in plan. The ventral face is flat and smooth, with an angled lozenge-shaped striking platform at the proximal end and a shallow bulb of percussion below it. The dorsal face is convex and retains much of its cortex. It has short, semi-abrupt retouch covering 75% of its distal end and sides on the dorsal face and short, semi-abrupt retouch along the proximal edge on the ventral face. It is possible that these represent two periods of retouc…
