28 sherds of handmade Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pottery, weighing in total 338g. The sherds are mainly body sherds, but one large rim sherd does survive. It has an inverted rim. The pottery is undecorated. It has chalk tempering, which has largely leached out, therefore resulting in the production of lots of holes in the matrix of the clay. The pottery is a coarse ware, which has been lightly fired in a clamp fire, rather than a kiln.

TREASURE CASE : 2007 T295 The pre-conservation state of the palstaves meant that the clayey soil adhering to the surfaces may have obscured more detailed typological features. However, given their heavily corroded condition this is unlikely. Unfortunately, this does mean that the weights of the objects include the adhering soil. Description of objects 1. Palstave. Light green coloured with heavy corrosion and chipping. It has a damaged butt, worn flanges and potentially the remains of a broken loop. There is no decoration evident.

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
TREASURE CASE : 2003 T198 Penannular ring with narrow stripes of yellow and paler gold; the latter shows some black tarnish. The outer surface of the ring is very worn in patches, including the top of the hoop. The terminals are flat and display some tearing and 'pushing in', indicating that the piece may consist of a gold covering over a core of some other material (usually base metal). This was confirmed in the laboratory. There is a marked ridge internally, along the length of the hoop. There is some distortion of the striping (which is extremely fine), which could have occurr…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy 'moustache-like' object. This is a three-dimensional casting consisting of two, drop-shaped parts on either side of a central constriction. The constricted area is rectangular and hollow. The drop-shaped parts have elongated narrow tips with abrupt angular terminals, these may be incomplete but appear rounded so could be complete. The metal is pitted and a dark blackish-green colour, with a high sheen. An example in 'The Salisbury Hoard' (Stead 1998) suggests an Iron Age or earlier date. There is another example from Mildenhall (see PAS database No: SF-9183). …

Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily corroded and fragmentary artefact which could be a small copper-alloy flat axehead in an early Bronze Age style. The axe is possibly a chisel axe used for fine carpentry work, but is could also be votive. The axe remains at a constant width towards the blade edge, the other end appears to have broken off but the breaks are very worn. The edges of the blade are straight. In profile the axe has a thin butt, which thickens slightly towards the main body and then thins again at the blade. The metal is mottled mid greenish-brown in colour and is heavily pitted. There are no signs …

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Published
Tip fragment, very tip extant, as is main body. Very denuded. Lozenge shaped section, mid rib cast in, middle both faces. Ref. to scan. Corroded surface sealed with unknown chemical. Although there is no image or illustration attached to this record, the brief description suggests a spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. Whilst, from the description, an insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, as the midrib appears to continues to the point, it is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.
