Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible harness pendant. Cast discoid plate with a suspension loop formed by the curling of a tapered lug. At first glance, the object looks as if made from a small spoon, but there is no sign of the cracking which would probably arise through the flattening of a concave bowl, nor of any rib between the putative stem and bowl. Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1250-1450. Cleaned by finder. Length: 35.4mm, Width: 23.5mm, Thickness (plate): 1mm, Weight: 4.95gms.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead and copper alloy weight. Cast lead weight with inset copper alloy object, possibly a fragment of a Late Roman coin - it resembles a bearded bust trimmed from a radiate issue of circa 260-275, though this appearance may be fortuitous. The lead is patinated overall. The use of weights with insets is considered characteristic of Viking Age activity. This example was either casually made or has been partly melted. Its mass falls within 0.3gms of a Viking Dublin unit of 4.43gms. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-950. Length: 19.2mm, Width: 15.7mm, Thickness: 3.9mm, Weight: 4.71gms.

Object type: PIN
Broad period: MODERN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Black opaque glass Probable Pin. Fragment, probably from the expanded section of the shaft of a hipped pin. Though pins of jet were made in the Roman and later periods, this reporter is unaware of examples made of glass. This is most likely to be an item of jewellery imitating jet, a material which became especially fashionable for mourning wear after the death of Queen Victoria's beloved consort Prince Albert in 1861. The object is perhaps water worn, though prolonged abrasion against hair or clothing might impart a similar smoothing. Reported along with another item of black glas…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead and iron fishing lure. Plano-convex casting representing a beetle with eyes, wing case and abdomen modelled, and with the bent stub of an iron hook or pin embedded in its flat underside on the centre line, a little towards the tail. The form of the object enabled it to spin as it was drawn through water, and the low relief detail on the convex face was intended to set up vibrations to entice fish such as salmon or pike - its 'realistic' appearance would be of more significance to the fisherman than to his prey. If successful, the object would function as a gorge, to stick crosswa…

Jet or shale ring. Carved ring, with five slightly irregular external circumferential facets, and smoothed within. The aperture, of diameter 22mm, appears too wide for this to have functioned as a whorl, a class of artefact for which a faceted finish has been reported, while the object as a whole appears somewhat large to have functioned comfortably as a finger ring. Finger rings and bracelets of jet or shale are, moreover, frequently lathe turned, unlike this object. It could have functioned as one item on a necklace, or even - given the light weight of the material - as a pendant ea…
