Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The butt end of a polished flint-knapped axe of the Neolitich period. The object is basically trapezoidal in plan and a pointed oval in section. It has been knapped from a grey flint of brownish tinge that has large areas of milky-coloured patches (which are still the same type of flint, and not inclusions). This flint is consistent with other flint Neolithic artefacts from Northumberland, with a potentially similar axe made in the same flint found in the Cheviots and on display at the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle. The butt has broken from the rest of the axehead, with th…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A highly tinned copper-alloy finger ring of post-Medieval date, probably 18-19th century. The finger ring has an undecorated hoop with a flat bezel. The bezel is roughly hexagonal in plan with an impression of corded decoration around the edges. The flat surface has a crude anchor carved into its face. The object was originally tinned to give it a silvery appearance. The light weight of the object and poor production quality suggests it was a low cost trinket rather than a valuable piece of jewellery.

Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper-alloy rotary key of Medieval date. The bow is lozenge-shaped with knobs on three corners (35.45mm x 23.43mm). There is the swelling of a shoulder below the bow that merges into the stem of the key. The end of the stem is hollow to take a pin, but broken so that only a small triangular projection remains. This break was subsequently filed, and the remaining projection probably enabled the key to remain in use. The bit has two wards that together measure 15.25 x 26.75 x 5.97mm. Corrosion between the two wards bridges them. Eachward has a channel parallel to the shank appro…

Fragment of a copper alloy annular brooch of the Early Medieval period. The shape of the object suggests that it is approximately half of the original brooch, corrosion and wear having caused it to break. One break shows iron corrosion, suggesting that the brooch was damaged where the pin had caused corrosion. What remains of the brooch is also badly damaged. There are a number of splits in the metal of the band and the metal is slightly bent in places. Despite the breakage, it is possible to measure the diameter of the brooch, as it would have been complete, the diameter of…
