Object type: PIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy pin of probable Roman date. It has a small flattened globular head and there is no collar nor grooves. The shaft is thick, and expands slightly in diameter as it extends further from the head (3.18mm under the head, 3.5mm at the widest point). It tapers again slightly at the far end, but it is not clear whether it is intentionally hipped. The far end is patinated, but may be a break. The pin has a smooth well developed grey green patina. Compare NARC-CBCBE1.

A large ceramic greyware spindle whorl which is probably Roman. The object is plano-convex and has a central perforation which is 8.4mm in diameter. The fabric is reduced and fairly soft, a light grey to brown throughout. It has small quartz and grit inclusions including a few large pieces of red stone. One face is shallower than the other. Compare NCL-AAE256 and LIN-6F06A5, but note that spindle whorls are notoriously difficult to date.

A base sherd from a Roman ceramic vessel. It is the base of a small vessel such as a flask or beaker and it probably dates from 150 - 300 AD. The fabric is coarse and fairly soft. It is reduced and light grey in colour. The inclusions are generally very small. They include red and grey particles (grit?) and smaller pieces of quartz. The texture is fine, but the breaks are a little abraded. Only the base of the vessel survives. It is concave and has a diameter of 4.5cm. The side walls slope inwards to the break. Compare the flasks and beakers on page 8-12 of Gillam's "Types of Roman Co…

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy thimble of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date (about 1400-1650). The thimble has a shallow domed top and angled sides. The exterior is decorated with a continuous spiral of D shaped pits or depressions covering the sides and top; there is no tonsure. The bottom end of the spiral is corroded so it is not clear if there was a maker's mark here. The thimble has a dark green-brown patina. Examples of the spiral design from this period may be seen at PAS record IDs: DENO-AA9B85, SOM-6B8B37 and IOW-EB5878.

An incomplete cast copper alloy composite Medieval buckle frame with forked spacer dating from about 1350-1500 AD. The frame is D-shaped with a pointed outer edge. In section the frame is sub triangular. The pin is missing as well as the plates. The back of the frame has a slightly raised moulded border, which would have originally separated it from the now missing plates that fit on either face of the spacer. Corrosion suggests that the pin may have been iron. The buckle is smooth and has a medium-dark green patina. Examples may also be seen in Meols, page 95, plate 15. Please a…

A corroded Post Medieval copper alloy mount in the shape of a heart. The reverse side is flat and there are two spikes which are both bent in a hoop towards the centre. The copper alloy has a patchy green patina through which red metal shows. According to Egan; Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition (2005); p40; No 136; the provision of double pointed prongs has been claimed as a characteristic of horse harness mounts. SUSS-5A7F53 is a similar but longer mount. It cites a heart shaped two-pronged mount in Read; Metal Artefacts of Antiquity (2001) p37; No. 323 which i…
