Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy annular bead. It measures 14.8mm in diameter x 6.5mm and weighs 2.6g. The bead has a dark greyish-green patina. Much of the original surface has been lost. It is decorated with an incised line close to the edge of the bead, arranged in a spiral, on both the upper and lower surfaces. The object possibly dates to the Bronze Age, circa 2150-800BC. But a more modern date (maybe medieval can not be ruled out).

Object type: GOUGE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy Bronze Age gouge found as a single find. It has a circular mouth and a flat top, the mouth and socket are damaged. There is also damage or wear on the gouge furrow, largely caused by bronze disease but also faint striations can be seen in the furrow, possibly indicating sharpening. The gouge survives in a very good condition and much of the well-finished original surface still survives. The mouth of the socket is also experiencing some active corrosion; bronze disease is affecting the metal. The majority of the gouge is still covered with the original surface, which has a…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The fragment comes from the tip end and all that survives is the tip proper. The spearhead seems to have been very long and thin judging by the angles of the two sides. The midrib is very shallow, forming a lozenge section and is solid. The blade edges are eroded, and the whole artefact is worn, with a pitted surface, which is light greyish-green. An insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed. However, as t…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment, copper-alloy spearhead probably dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The mib-rib and the wings are intact, but the entire object is worn and corroded. The blade edge has been lost due to damage and corrosion. The object has a dark green patina with patches of copper corrosion products. An insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed, though it is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete Middle Bronze Age unlooped palstave, dating to circa 1400-1150 BC. The palstave is in a poor condition, but most of the elements survive, despite the high level of pitting and corrosion on the surface. The butt end is damaged, measuring 21.8mm in width. The septum is defined and the flanges on either side are still evident. The flange facets are not so clear. There does not appear to be a ‘stop’ in the centre, as the septum simply continues becoming the blade. This area measures 24.4mm x 13.5mm. The blade is relatively straight and parallel in form, as the blad…

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.
