Record ID: SWYOR-B230B2
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy fragmentary mount of unknown date. The mount is roughly D shaped but at least one edge, the straight one, is broken. It is 28.3mm long, 19.8mm wide and 1.9mm thick. There is a rivet hole in the centre of the curved area and moulded decoration near the straight edge. Unfortunately not enough survives to be able to understand the design. Two curved lines each containing two rounded elements are visible. There is a curved notch in one end of the mount which interrupts the decoration but appears to be an original edge. The object has a smooth mid green patina. Its date canno…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead alloy possible weight of unknown date. The weight is a narrow shield shape with a loop arching from side to side at the top. The front is convex. The weight is 22.8mm long, 10.3mm wide and 5.4mm thick. It weighs 6.1g (0.2oz). Helen Geake writes: “It is very difficult to establish hard and fast rules with lead weights, as we have little material from excavated contexts to compare. The function of lead weights would have varied, from spindle whorls to fishing weights to trade weights.” Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as …

County: Rotherham

Object type: CORE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint chunk which could be debitage (waste material from flint working) or is possibly a core fragment. It looks to have some blade removals, but it is not as intensively worked as most cores, and is not the normal form. It is extensively patinated.

Object type: HARNESS RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy harness ring of uncertain date. The ring is a sub-circular loop which is a rounded hexagon in section. It is 25.4mm long, 24.9mm wide and 3.6mm thick. At the narrower end of the loop the metal is much thinner and is worn, suggesting that the loop was suspended from this point. The exact function of the ring is uncertain; it may have been an attachment loop, a strap guide, or decorative. These objects are usually impossible to date as they have changed very little in the many centuries in which they were used.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy probable perforated weight. The weight is cone shaped and has a circular hole through the centre. It appears to have been made in two pieces, first a hollow cone which was then filled with more lead leaving a line between the two pieces. There are two incised lines round the outside of the coin and possible cast decoration in the form of small vertical lines and hearts round the apex of the cone. At the top of the coin a small tube of lead extends; it is not clear whether this is part of a longer damaged tube, or whether damage to the cone has produced the tube. It is also…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. It is a wedge shaped piece of solid copper alloy. At one end is a rounded terminal, divided from the wedge by an uneven circumferential groove. The rounded end is rectangular in section and has a notch in the centre, extending into grooves along the front and rear face. The main body of the object has slightly convex faces, is square in section and tapers in thickness towards the end. At the smaller end, one face is concave, giving a C shaped section rather like a prehistoric gouge. The object has a dark green but uneven patina. Th…

Object type: CORE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible core rejuvenation flake of unknown date, about 9000 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on patinated to white flint and is sub-triangular in plan. The distal end appears to have been snapped prior to patination. The right egde is part of an earlier striking platform with platform preparation visible on the dorsal face as well as a removal scar. There is possible fine retouch from the ventral face on the left side perhaps indicating that the flake was utilised. The flake is 17.9mm long, 12.2mm wide and 2.4mm thick. 0.52g.
