Record ID: YORYM-05938B
Object type: INGOT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy ingot of uncertain date.
The object is sub-rectangular with a D-shaped section, rounded corners and ends. Often referred to as ‘finger’ shaped. The object is fairly regular in form, suggesting it was cast, and no signs of hammering are present.
The metal has a dark green/brown patina and is worn. The object is 54.7mm long, 15.4mm wide, 12.2mm thick and weighs 44.6g.
Ingots of this general form in precious metals have been found associated with Early-Medieval hoards such as 2010 T373 (YORYM-CEE620) from Bedale, North Yorkshire. These however g…

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan with a slightly off-central sub-circular perforation. The glass is a semi-translucent dark blue colour.
The bead is 10.2mm in diameter, 4.9mm thick and weighs 0.5g. The perforation is 5.2mm in diameter.
Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty. They are often thought to be Roman in date though blue glass beads were commonly for use in spangles on lace making bobbins in the 19th century. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any …

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy gaming piece or weight of uncertain date. The object is sub-conical with a flat base and tapering sides to a rounded top. It appears undecorated.
The object is 10mm tall, 16.5mm in diameter and weighs 12.8g.
Lead objects such as this are common metal detector finds but are rare from excavated contexts. This means that the dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain.
Similarly shaped objects are known from Viking contexts and are interpreted as weights or gaming pieces. The predominant Viking Age sy…

Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead-alloy steelyard weight of uncertain date, likely Roman to Post-Medieval, c. AD 43-1800.
The weight is spherical with an incomplete iron sprue projecting from the top. The object is undecorated.
The metal has a mid-grey/white patina and is worn. The object is 23mm long, 18.6mm in diameter and weighs 35.4g.
Medieval steelyard weights usually had a copper alloy shell, so this weight is likely to be Roman or Post Medieval. Roman steelyard weights are more usually bi-conical. It is also possible that it is another form of Post medieval weight such as a clock weight or …

Object type: PIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy pin of uncertain date, Roman to Post-Medieval, c.AD 43 – 1700.
The head of the pin is broadly plano-convex with a flat base and irregular rounded top. An integral circular sectioned shank extends from the centre of the base of the head, terminating in a worn break.
The metal has a delaminated dark green patina and is worn. The pin is 22.2mm long, 17.4mm in diameter at the head, 1.2mm in diameter at the shank and weighs 1.3g.
This pin does not appear to sit within known typologies of Roman or Early-Medieval pins which may suggest it is later in date t…

An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object of uncertain date and function.
The object is square with rounded knops to each pointed terminal. The upper surface is decorated with a quatrefoil of ovate enamelled cells radiating from the centre to each corner of the square. The enamel appears to be a pale blue or green. A circular sectioned shaft is present which appears to be glued into an indentation at the centre. The shaft terminates in a worn break.
Two broken and worn parallel lugs are present to the reverse of the object which is otherwise flat and undecorated.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy weight or gaming piece of uncertain date. The object is sub-conical with a flat base and tapering sides to a rounded top. The object appears to have faint decoration around the base though this is too worn to be adequately determined.
The object is 9.6mm tall, 12.9mm in diameter and weighs 7.7g.
Lead objects such as this are common metal detector finds but are rare from excavated contexts. This means that the dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest …

An incomplete copper-alloy possible bead of uncertain date.
The object is a circular bead with circular section, narrower to one side than the other giving a crescentic appearance. The surface of the bead has irregular stippling and a portion is missing due to old breaks allowing the hollow interior to be seen.
The metal has a dark brown patina and is worn. The object is 16.9mm long, 16.7mm wide, 8.7mm thick and weighs 1.7g.
Several similar object are recorded on the PAS database though with a range of suggested uses and dates. One example has been recorded as Iron Age to early Ro…

A complete lead-alloy probable net sinker weight of uncertain date, c. 200 BC – AD 1900.
The object is biconical with a widened mid-point and narrowed open ends. It is undecorated with no visible seam.
The metal has a mid-grey/brown patina and is worn. The object is 21.4mm long, 14.5mm wide, 10.7mm thick and weighs 16.6g.
The dating of such weights is difficult as their design and method of manufacture remained unchanged for a considerable period. The proposed function is also uncertain though, if a net sinker, would have been positioned around the edge of a net, probably used…
