Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Polished Neolithic adze head. The adze is incomplete and has been heavily damaged although parts of the smooth polished surface remain intact. The butt of the adze (where it would have been hafted) has broken away and may have been used as a tool itself at one stage. The blade end also displays damage and there are large chips missing from the edges of the tool. Unlike an axe blade, the adze has a blunter edge.

Lead Seal matrix, pointed oval (vesica) in shape and dating to the 13th century. The matrix weighs 10.15g and measures 35.73mm in length, 21.9mm in width and 6.8mm in thickness (including loop).

Copper alloy medieval heraldic horse harness pendant. The pendant is shield shaped (suggesting a late 13th - early 14th century date) and is decorated on the front surface.
