Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small piece of medium hard black stone, possibly jet or a Scottish pitch. It leaves a black mark when drawn across paper. There is a series of three parallel lines on one face, there is a chance that these may be artificial. A small piece of possible jet/shale debitage (LANCUM 585BA4) was found next to this jet/pitch. These may have come from a burial unearthed in the near vicinity in the antiquarian period. Measures 18x13x10mm. Dates between c2500BC & c800BC.

Object type: RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy gilded penannular ring fragment. About half of a cast round section ring with a coating of red-tinged gold over a base metal core. One end of the ring is broken, the other end is stepped and the plating goes over this stepped terminal.
Gold or gold-on-base-metal rings and penannular rings are characteristic finds of the Middle to Late Bronze Age (1300-800); those where a gold finish is produced by plating of a cast rod are speculatively identified as 'hair rings' or ear rings: the stepped terminal here would make the latter usage possible by crimping a tress or lobe.…
