Report by Krista McGrath at the BioArCh, Environment Building, University of York:
The results from the second sample of the whorl that I ran confirmed my initial results, with better spectra, that it appears to be a Red or Fallow Deer. Based on the context information provided it could have come from Norway and it could also be from an Elk as we cannot currently distinguish between Elk and Red/Fallow Deer with ZooMS.
Based on the images of the bone, and the fact that collagen was recovered from the whorl, it does not appear to be fossilised, but certainly there could be some taphonomic alteration from being in sandy conditions (Camilla Speller pers comm).

Bone spindle whorl, circular in plan and bi-convex in profile, 33.5 mm in diameter, 12 mm thick and with a circular central perforation that is 7.5 mm in diameter. The bone has been analysed and is likely from a Red or Fallow deer (see below). The smooth upper surface is decorated with a slightly off-centre, sub-circular incised ring around the central perforation which varies between 16 mm and 18 mm in diameter. Outside this is a circle of ring-and-dot decorations, at approximately 5.5 mm intervals (centre to centre) and each about 2 mm in diameter. The surface of the bone has laminated and flaked off around the circle so that only five of these decorations are still clearly visible. The underside is undecorated and consists of the coarser, inner part of the bone with many cut ends of the tubules (Haversian canals), which carry the blood supply inside the bone, clearly visible. Ring and dot decoration on bone objects was common from the late Iron Age, through the Roman period to the Medieval period. But the proximity of the findspot to the sea and to Early Medieval settlement sites in the area, and its similarity to other examples of Anglo-Scandinavian spindle whorls, as well as its source of Red Deer, perhaps from Norway, suggests that it may have Hiberno-Norse origins.
MacGregor (1985) illustrates similar bone spindle whorls decorated with concentric circles and ring-and-dot motifs from York, Portchester and unprovenanced on page 186, fig.101, nos.7, 8 & 11, which are dated from the Early Medieval period.
Leahy (2003) illustrates two similar antler spindle whorls with ring and dot decoration within borders, from the Coppergate excavations in York, on page 65, fig.32, nos.6692-6693, which are referred to as Anglo-Scandinavian and date from the late Early Medieval period, from the late 9th to the late 11th century.

A plated copper alloy livery button. It is in the form of a slightly convex disc of 16.7mm diameter, with an embossed crest of a cushion with waves of the sea over, from which arises a tilting-spear erect, headed and enfiled with a dolphin embowed. The rear has a scar where the soldered loop has broken away, and the makers mark 'T.Shaw Hemmings Row London'. This company were in business from that address in the early 19th century, from c.1805 to 1823 at least.
The crest is of the Horton family of Catton Hall, and the button is recorded as it is of local interest.

A worn Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token. (AD c1250-1800). The token has a raised design of an eight spoke like a cart wheel, on one side. There are raised pellets between each spoke. The reverse has a further raised design of four triangular petals joined together with a circular ring. The token measures 18.3mm diameter, 2.1mm thick and weighs 3.8 grams. The token is a greyish white in colour. Lead tokens with such simple designs had a wide variety of uses; they were often made locally and are hard to date precisely therefore a general AD c1250-1800 date is given.
This token can be identified as a Powell Classification Type 3, 'Cart Wheel' segmented design or Type 1 'Petal design'.
