Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Lead object, thick, flat, oval and measuring 42 x 30mm and 7mm thick. A few short cut marks on both faces. It weighs 66.9g. It may be a palm guard, although these more normally have one curved surface to fit in the hand. Palm guards were used to protect the palm while using tools to pierce leather or canvas, and therefore function like thimbles. They are thought, on little evidence so far, to date to the 17th to 19th centuries.

It may possibly be a separate terminal from a purse bar, but no parallel has yet been found.

Cast copper-alloy leg from a cooking vessel. The object is 40mm long and has a basically rectangular form, tapering from 27mm wide at the sloping upper surface to 19mm at the bottom. It is also basically rectangular in cross-section but has a central ridge running down its outer face. There is some black material on the surface, possibly soot from the cooking fire. It weighs 49.43g. Legs with this form were used on cooking vessels from late medieval times into the 17th century.

Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy trumpet brooch fragment, head only. The head is oval and three-dimensional, with a groove around the edge. It tapers centrally into a narrow, oval-section bow which is soon broken. On the reverse, cast in one piece with the head, is a cylindrical tube running horizontally and with a slot in the centre. In this is a tiny fragment of copper-alloy pin. A wire emerges from either end of the tube and passes through a hole in a rectangular plate or collar before ending in breaks; originally this would have formed a circular headloop. The collar is decorated with two longitudina…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast lead spindle whorl. Both faces are flat and undecorated with a slightly raised edge. 8mm circular hole in the centre. 30mm diameter, 8mm thick, 58.24g. Lead whorls are not easy to date, as few are found in excavated contexts, perhaps because they were far easier to recycle than whorls of bone, stone or pottery. None have been found in Roman contexts in Colchester (Crummy 1983, 67) but also none have been found in medieval contexts in Norwich (Goodall in Margeson 1993, 184-5) or York (Ottaway and Rogers 2002, 2736-7). At Winchester, three neat and two very crude conical lead …

A biconvex cast lead spindle whorl, decorated on one face with closely spaced oblique raised lines and on the other face with worn raised lines and pellets.

Incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate, a single rectangular straight-sided sheet of metal with a pin slot and frame recesses cut. The two hinge loops thus formed are broken through and have been bent under the rest of the sheet, so any underplate is missing. The surviving part has two rivet holes, one in either corner of the attachment end (the opposite end to the pin slot), blocked with what may be iron corrosion. There is a third circular empty hole in the centre, and next to this is a hole caused by damage. There are traces of what may be a fourth deliberate hole close to one of the…

Lead-alloy drop-haped palm guard. It has a convex face and a flat face. The flat face has a dip in the centre and small stab marks, probably from use. A pattern of textile type material remains on the curved surface of the item, perhaps the result of using a textile-lined mould. 47 x 40mm, 13mm thick, 142.51g. Palm guards were used to protect the palm while using tools to pierce leather or canvas, and therefore function like thimbles. They are thought, on little evidence so far, to date to the 17th to 19th centuries.

Copper-alloy purse bar of LMMC Type B (Ward-Perkins 1940, 167-9) but not conforming exactly to any of the individual sub-types. It is perhaps closest to B5. In Williams's classification, it is Williams class B. The object consists of a trapezoidal loop above a vertical stem with three rounded mouldings, a larger rounded central moulding between a conical moulding at the bottom and a short rounded moulding at the top. All these mouldings are faceted in cross-section. The stem is then narrowed to pass through a rounded loop in the horizontal bar, and ends in a rove. The horizontal…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete cast copper alloy awl or tracer. The cente of the awl is sub-square in cross-section, and measures approximately 5 x 5mm. To one side of the centre, the awl has a circular cross-section and tapers to a complete point. To the other side there is a square cross-section which tapers slightly to a break. Plain copper-alloy awls are hard to date precisely, but ones of this form are known to have been introduced in the Bronze Age (2150-800 BC) with most being Late Bronze Age in date (1150-800 BC). SOM-990775, SOM-D995B1 and SOM-7C6ED1 on this database are similar.
