A fragment of a cast copper alloy unidentified object, probably of Medieval or Post Medieval date. The fragment is sub-triangular and slightly curved. One end is original and seems to be slightly convex. The other sides are patinated breaks. One face has been decorated with incised lines; one forms a border along the original edge, and the rest of the design on the body consists of two diagonal lines flanking a sub oval annulet. The back of the fragment is slightly rough and is undecorated. The fragment has a dark green patina and looks to have had a high tin content. Not enough mater…

A complete cast lead pot mend of probable medieval date. The pot mend is comprised of a large circular disc and a bulbous shank and was used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. The gap between the two plates is narrow and contains the remains of a ceramic of pale orange fabric suggesting a medieval date for the mend. The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn. The pot mend is 16mm long, 22.7mm in diameter and weighs 35.1g.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan with a flat top and base, rounded sides and a wide central perforation. One side of the spindle whorl is decorated with incised triangular cells around the perforation. The metal is a mid whitish-grey colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 28.5mm in diameter, 9.9mm thick and weighs 45.9g. Spindle whorls were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards and are difficult to date precisely without a secure archaeological context. Most however are late medieval to Post-medieval in date.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical with a wide circular base which tapers to a narrow apex. A central perforation runs longitudinally through the weight. There are no marks or decoration present on the object and there are no signs of an attachment loop. The metal is a light brownish-white colour and is worn. The weight is 15.1mm tall, 14.2mm in diameter at the base and weighs 14.2g. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and may date from the Roman to post-medieval periods.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy probable pendant or bead of unknown date. The object is an elongated oval of copper alloy, rectangular in section but with rounded edges. The surfaces are very smooth and patinated to a dark brown colour, but do not appear to have been decorated. At one end is a (possibly drilled) circular hole which is worn at one side suggesting the object was suspended from the hole. No close parallel has been found, but there are some similarities with SWYOR-6D5135 and WAW-35A745. The finder suggests it could be a bead spacer.
