Object type: COIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cut and broken silver Islamic dirham, possibly of the Samanid or Abbasid dynasties, which has been 'hacked', possibly by Viking traders. Nearly 1/4 of the coin survives which is cut cleanly along one radius and partially broken along the other. Dirhams circulated for an extended period of time in Arabia, Scandinavia and England and are commonly found as hack silver in the Viking period. This association is likely to date this fragment to the mid 9th - 10th centuries AD. It is similar to YORYM-A2BAFE

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cu-alloy tool, possibly a chisel. It is very thin and if not a tool of some kind it may have been part of a metal vessel (part of the handle?).
There is a chance that it is a Bronze Age tool, but the overall shape does not suggest this (too thin for a wood working tool).
