Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy seal matrix. The handle of the object has a hexagonal section. The loop for suspension is trefoil-shaped with a collar located at the base (where the loop meets the handle). The collar has a 1.5mm wide central band with smaller bands to either side. The die of the seal matrix is damaged, but the central design is clear. This shows a semi-circle with an arrow falling through the centre (therefore an bow and arrow). The feathers of the arrow show in the middle of the semi-circle. The inscription reads: S' WILL'Z H (or M)OT and possibly E or B.

Object type: PADLOCK
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy object, possibly part of a medieval padlock. The surviving original surface appears to have been decorated with incised lines; these are crossed on the spike. The two looped spikes are anchored to a vertical bar with a conical head; the shaft of this bar passes through the circular looped part of the spikes. The bottom spike appears to have been intended to remain stationary, as there is a thin bar attaching the loop to the vertical bar. The upper spike was probably intended to be moveable.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy drum-shaped object. The object is similar in design to an item found at Winterton Roman Villa, identified as a 'reel', however, this object has a much larger central perforation than the Winterton example. There is no decoration. The object has a distinctive cylindrical drum shape with a narrow centre and flared terminals. The perforation runs through the centre of the object from top to bottom; it is irregularly formed at either mouth. The hole is filled with some kind of concretion or mineralisation. Another suggested use is as a spool, for example for thread.
