Object type: POINT
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint probable Mousterian point of Middle Palaeolithic date (c. 150,000 - 40,000 BC). The object is made flint with a mottled light grey and cream coloured opaque patina covering the entire surface of the object. There are small patches of re-cortication on the surface. It is a tertiary flake with no sign of the original cortex remaining and is roughly triangular in plan and plano-convex in cross-section, with a pointed distal end. A small striking platform is evident at the proximal end. This is not centrally placed, but offset to one side. A bulb of percussion extends from this pl…

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tranchet axehead from the early Mesolithic period (c.9000 - 8000 BC). The flint is a dark brownish-grey and fairly opaque with elements of the cortex visible. The axe is crudely worked, with a rounded cutting edge, roughly parallel sides and a pointed butt. It has a broadly triangular cross-section. The flint appears to be in the second stage of being worked due to the patches of cortex on its butt and and its ventral and dorsal faces. Also, a soft hammering technique seems to have been used, identifiable by the weak ripple marks and low bulbs of percussion. The broad shape of…

Object type: DIE STAMP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
Complete but worn and corroded copper-alloy die for making pressed appliqué and filigree pendants of later Early Medieval date and of Viking cultural design. Such dies are known as Hiddensee-Rügen type. The die is essentially cross-shaped and has a plain, flat back. The main part of the die consists of three cross-shaped arms which are co-joined creating two openwork circular holes through the body of the die. The fourth arm of the cross is an extended T-shape with the head of the T being rounded at the front and flat at the back. There are faint traces of interlace decoration on…

Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy (with high lead content) or lead-alloy pin of probable mid to late Early Medieval date (Anglo-Saxon). Only the pinhead and a short length of the shaft survive. The head is globular in form being an elongated oval in section with no notable surface design, although there is considerable pitting and corrosion. At the base of the globular head is a collar, a feature which is taken as a key indication of an early Medieval date. Below the collar is a short length of the shaft, due to corrosion it is not possible to discern the shape in section. There ap…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early medieval mount; cast copper alloy mount with applied decoration with inlaid silver wire. The mount probably dates from the 11th century. It is of roughly triangular shape with large, circular rivet holes. There are two holes in the ‘base’ of the triangle, one of which has a break running through it. There is then a smaller hole in the centre of the mount and the tip of the triangle has a curved break, suggesting that there was a fourth rivet hole there. The mount is decorated on one face with narrow, applied strips forming four, back-to-back curls. Each of the strips is furth…

Early medieval mount; cast copper alloy triangular mount with inscribed decoration and gilding over all surfaces. The mount is of the Anglo-Saxon tradition and is most likely to be of 7th century date. It is sub-triangular in shape with a narrow strip extending up from the apex of the triangle. This strip is bent back on itself and ends in a ragged, broken edge. The base of the triangle has a small rounded projection extending down from each corner. There are two small, circular rivet holes in the mount, along the base of the triangle. The front face of the mount is decorated with swir…

Object type: TAP
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Published
Medieval water tap; Large, cast copper alloy water spout in an elaborate housing. The tap is of probable 13th or 14th century date. The lower housing is in the form of a human head and there is a long stem coming out of the top of the head. The stem curls over and has a beast’s head at its terminal. There is a circular hole in the mouth of the beast and a corresponding hole in the back, at the base of the neck of the human head. This suggests that the piece has a channel running right through it. The human head is decorated with a cast nose and eyebrows in high relief. There are …
