Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified, copper alloy artefact in the form of an open loop with a ferrous extension on one side. The date is uncertain, but the condition of the metal makes a Post medieval date most likely. The loop is circular with a narrow (2mm) gap in the frame. The terminal on one side of the gap is worn to a blunt point, and the other terminal is square. It is unclear whether the gap is damage or intentional. The loop is circular in cross-section except at a point opposite the gap, where there is a curved depression in one face, making the hoop thinner. At one side of this depression is&n…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of an Early Medieval cast copper alloy openwork strap end, dating from AD 875 - 1100. It can be classified as Thomas' Class E. Only part of the middle survives. The strap end would have been tongue shaped (rectangular, probably with a rounded closed end). It has a series of holes giving an openwork pattern probably representing either a plant design (Class E type 1) or anthropomorphic decoration (Class E type 2), but not enough survives to tell which. Measurements are; length 25.5mm, width 16.1mm, thickness 2.1mm and weight 2.31g. …

County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead pot mend and a fragment of the ceramic vessel, of probable Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The mend is two discs of lead, one large and oval and one smaller and nearly square. They are joined by a short stem (making the mend H shaped in cross-section) through a hole in the ceramic vessel. Some of the ceramic fabric survives. It appears to be a greyware with frequent quartz inclusions, suggesting a Roman date. Measurements are; length 28.3mm, width 24.2mm, thickness 9.9mm and weight 22.87g.

A length of copper alloy bar of rectangular cross-section, of unknown date, probably Roman - Post Medieval. It has a well developed turquoise green patina. The thickness and width of the bar varies and it is slightly curved. The finder reports decorationin the form of small Xs, but these are difficult to positively identify as intentional and distinct from the other pitting on the surface. The edges are abraded making it difficult to determine whether the end are complete or breaks. Measurements are; length 59.9mm, width 4.5mm, thickness 3.6mm and weight 5.04g.

A fragment of a copper alloy strap end or buckle plate or clasp plate, dating from the Medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is a sub-rectangular plate, tapering towards one end. The narrow end is slightly curved, perhaps where the strap end was folded widthways. If the plate is from a strap clasp, the bend could be where it was folded round the frame. At the wider end are two rivet hole, and there is a third hole or notch in the broken end. The third hole could be a slot for the pin if the plate is form a buckle. The plate is 23.4mm long,12.4mm wide and 0.6mm thick. It weighs…

An incomplete copper alloy mount, probably a Medieval harness pendant suspension mount, but it could also be a casket mount or other harness mount, dating from AD 1200 - 1500. The surviving part is a shell shaped or perhaps a septfoil terminal, that is convex on the outer face and hollow behind. A rectangular bar extends from the top of the shell, and is broken across a circular rivet hole. The bar is flat, with a hollow reverse. Traces of gilding survive on the front. Unusually, there is no rivet or fixing point on the reverse of the terminal, suggesting it is the end of a longer…

A stone possible gaming piece of possible Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The object is formed from a very smooth circular pebble, identified by the finder as Cornish greenstone. The pebble has two shallowly convex faces and rounded sides. It would have functioned well as a counter or gaming piece. It may have been naturally formed but collected for use as a playing piece. Measurements are; diameter 24.3mm, thickness 7.5mm and weight 6.74g. The stone is dark brown, fine grained and smooth, but with a slightly pitted surface under magnification. There appears to be a high quartz content.…
