A replica of Cnut of Northumbria (c. 900 - 905). This coin was found in an area of known Viking Age re-enactments and was examined by the FLO and Dr John Naylor, and was found to be a modern reproduction on the following grounds, Although the coin has inscriptions and obverse/reverse designs which are faithful to the originals, there are  problems when you examine the coin closely: the combination of obverse  (EC-1ii) and reverse (CR-G) type seen on this coin isn't seen in the Cuerdale hoard (which is a large sample) the letter forms are quite scruffy…

British oysters were an esteemed foodstuff in Roman times. Iron Age dietary preferences seem not to have included marine-derived foods; this was perhaps because of taboo rather than the difficulty of procur…

Iron Age to Post Medieval bloomery slag. It is weakly magnetic suggesting it still has a reasonably high iron content, suggestive of the more inefficient recovery rate of the Early Medieval and early Medieval. Bloomeries were used for the production of iron until the 1700s in the North West of England of some other areas, but by and large they were being superseded by the more efficient blast furnaces by the 1500s. Dates to between c800 and c1700 AD. The length is 18mm, the width is 17mm, thickness 9mm, and the weight 6.02g.

The left valve of an oyster shell with a central perforation. Description: The perforation has been made from the inside of the shell to the outside and is 14mm x 15mm with three staight sides and one outwardly-curved side. The perforation has been made carefully with minimal damage to the shell and, along with the precise shape, suggests it was made deliberately rather than through accidental damage. Measurements: 79.52mm in length, 75.06mm in width and 46.07g in weight. Discussion: Perforated oyster shells are found in many archaeologicaly-secure contexts dating from the Ro…

An incomplete pottery figurine of the late post-medieval to modern period.

Ferrous metalworking debris. A fragment from what appears to have been a cake of layered charcoal and iron slag capped by a smoother concreted off-white layer and with calcareous chips of stone at its base. Lumps of iron or ferrous slag also project from an otherwise smooth surface.

A brass cross artefact of unidentified function, most likely of post-medieval date. The cross is a cross pattée and appears to have had straight, cylindrical protrusions extending from the end of each arm.

The cross has a design hand-carved into it which appears to be some sort of rose in the centre and a series of lines on each arm that converge towards the centre of the arms' terminations.
