Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Medieval pilgrims ampulla, c.1350- 1530. It has the common scallop shaped rounded base which narrows to the neck. The scallop design is carried on on one face with grooved lines coming in from the scalloped edges. The other face has no scallop decoration but has the raised letters IC for Iesu Christ (Jesus Christ), reflecting the religious nature of these items. The neck widens slightly towards the top, which is now broken. The handles are broken and mostly missing with just the base of one visible close to where the neck meets the scallop base. The ampulla has been flattened a…

Medieval lead pilgrims ampulla, dating to c. 1350- 1530. It is flask shaped in plan, as with most ampullae it is fairly flat, although the neck of this example is open. It would have had 2 handles, one on each side but one has broken off. The remaining example shows they were triangular, and placed at the base of the neck. A casting seam can be seen along both edges of the ampulla. One side of the rounded lower half is decorated with a central shield, with its border raised. Inside the shield is a raised letter, possibly a G. The shield is inside two concentric circles. The othe…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy Chalcolithic flat axe, Type Growton/Milton Moss, dating to c.2500- 2300 BC. It is broken into two pieces, this break seems to have broken in antiquity, possibly it was purposeful.

The axe is very thin, and its thickness does not vary much along its length. The blade edge is rounded, as is the butt end. It has an brown coloured patina with an uneven surface due to corrosion. The blade piece measures 63.25mm in length, 58.…

Knapped, ground and polished axe head of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). This axe is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-oval (humped) in cross section. In plan the sides of the axe taper from the widest point at the cutting edge to a relatively narrow rounded butt. Width at widest- 55.04mm, at narrowest- 21.30mm. It is mostly complete with just a few chips missing from the edges. It has a white/cream patina and where the surface has chipped away a dark grey stone can be seen. This difference in the colours may be to do with patination from the time spent…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blade fragment of a Bronze Age axe, c.2300 BC- 800 BC. The blade edge is curved, and appears complete. It has broken before the shaft, having a rectangular cross-section at the broken edge where it is thickening. The axe has a dark brown patina which is slightly patchy due to corrosion. As so little remains it is not possible to pin it down to a certain type of axe, or a more specific period within the Bronze Age.

Jet bead, of uncertain date. It is sub-circular in plan with a central circular hole. The edges are rounded. Lindsay Allason-Jones of Newcastle University has looked at this item and confirmed that it is jet. However she comments that it is impossible to date a generic bead of this type when found out of context, it could have been made in any time from the Bronze Age onwards.

Blue opaque glass diamond-faceted bead of uncertain date. It is 8mm long and 5mm in diameter. It is rectangular with facetted corners at each end. There is a central cylindrical hole running the length of the bead. It is possibly Roman or Early Medieval in date but it is impossible to be certain when found as a stray find. Guido’s book on Anglo-Saxon beads (1999, 50-51) says they could be Roman but some are also found in 6th century (and later) graves.
