Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint 'horseshoe' scraper. The scraper is circular with one straight edge in plan, and fabricated on a white patinated tertiary flake.

Object type: RAZOR
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early to Mid Bronze Age copper-alloy leaf-shaped rat tail razor. The razor is leaf-shaped in plan with a projecting rectangular cross-sectioned tang at one end. The tang is 35mm in length, 8mm wide at its base tapering to 2mm at its termination. The tang terminates in a distinct curve which constitutes the remnants of the 'rat tail' which would have held the original wood, bone or antler handle in place. On one edge there is a circular perforation of 5mm diameter. This is probably a casting flaw resulting from the thinness of the casting and insufficient molten bronze to fill the moul…

Medieval lead ampulla dating to c. AD 1400 - 1600. One face is decorated with a raised crown in its lower half.

Probably an early Post Medieval cast lead alloy, or lead, biface weight or possibly token. One face is decorated with an impressed fleur de lys & on the other a raised long cross with raised single pellets in each angle and a damaged boss at the centre of the cross. The decoration derives from medieval long cross coins but the impressed fleur is more suggestive of the Post Medieval period, though it may indicate reuse. The heaviness of the object suggests it is a weight rather than a token even though its decoration is token like. The weight is …
