Copper alloy socketed axe-head. Cast copper alloy axe-head with a crescentic cutting edge, a plain body with slightly concave upper and lower sides and a sub-rectangular socket measuring 32.7mm in height and 28.4mm in width [externally]. A single loop of length 23.5mm is set on one side on the mould line at a distance of 9.5mm from the socket. Six triangular-section fragments of pale buff and desiccated wood were presented along with the object together with smaller splinters and dust, with slight evidence of green staining, and are regarded by the finder as relict fragments of a woode…

Opaque mid grey flint, possibly collected from the East Coast, possible debitage. A thick triangular chunk with a powdery possibly marine-derived deposit on one dorsal face interrupted either by short scalar retouch at its end or by battering at that site.

Gold metalworking debris. A small plano-convex pellet of solidified gold melt which has set on a flat smooth surface. A reddish tint suggests a significant presence of copper in the metal mix, making this a rose gold.

Pale brown toffee-coloured flint with pale cream markings, knife, as kindly identified by the finder. Oval flake with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trims one narrower end and probably the adjoining long side.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Stone polisher, as kindly identified by the finder. A sub-spherical water-rolled pebble with a pale grey surface and smooth overall, with a restricted very smooth zone of length 27mm. The use of such objects as craft tools is likely until the end of the early medieval period, though the finder opines the find-spot to be especially productive of material dated to the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. Suggested date: possibly Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 45.7mm, Width: 41.8mm, Thickness: 29.6mm, Weight: 77.01gms

Grey flint knife, as kindly identified by the finder. A thick oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch follows a curving edge; a chip was probably damage incurred in antiquity as orange staining from contact with gravels passes over the broken surface. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 42.5mm, Width: 38.4mm, Thickness: 14.4mm, Weight: 18.06gms

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy probable socketed axe-head fragment. The edge of a crescentic cutting edge from a copper alloy axe-head, most likely of socketed form – the latest type. Diagonal striations on one side of the blade may arise from its sharpening, suggesting this may have broken away - perhaps on a casting flaw - from an axe that was in use. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 Length/Height: 31.5mm, Width/Length along axe: 9.2mm, Thickness: 6mm, Weight: 4.94gms

Copper alloy possible sword fragment. Cast straight-sided trapezoid object of lentoid or flattened lozenge section, here taken to be the tip of a sword, dagger or rapier, broken at either end. The break at the wider end is relatively recent but the other, nearer the tip of the putative weapon, is ancient.

Copper alloy metalworking debris. An oval fragment of solidified copper alloy melt of plano-convex section, possibly from the casting ingate at the top of the mould used for casting a small object. The oval flat surface would represent the upper side with shrinkage lines resulting from the cooling of molten metal. The ingate would be broken from the object cast and was presumably intended to go back into the melting pot. This is an unusual example of metalworking debris whose form places it at a particular stage of the casting process, rather than the more common evidence for spillage.…

An incomplete cast copper alloy side looped spearhead fragment. A small cast and slightly tapered socket with opposed loops of length 11mm near its upper narrower end, both now worn or broken to paired stubs. The socket mouth [chipped] is of estimated diameter 15.4mm and the diameter at the broken upper end is 10.7mm. Davis 2012 dates these forms to c. 1500-1000 cal BC.

Grey flint possible fabricator. A knapped flint implement with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a flat rippled ventral surface with a tiny striking platform at one end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows one long edge of a triangular-section object; other marks along the arises between faces are from fortuitous edge-on impacts.

Sandstone burnt stone. One half of a river-rounded Sandstone cobble, possibly flattened by use as a rubber or hone on one side, reddened by heat which has promoted splitting on the putative flat or polished side. The use of stones to heat water – for what purpose is the topic of speculation, ranging from cooking to bathing of the better sort – is especially characteristic of the later Bronze Age. Of course, stones could be heated or incorporated into hearths and campfires  and water boiled at any later date as well. Suggested date: possibly Late Bronze Age to Iron Age,…
