Incomplete white-metal vessel handle of probable 18th century date. The handle is roughly C-shaped and cast in pewter, with a break at the top and base of the handle, probably the weak points. The handle has a decorated top, with a concave plate that probably gave way to a scrolling extension, though this is now incomplete. The base of this extension, however can be seen abutting a cylindrical shape on the underside with the appearance of a lug, though without any fixtures relating to it. Below the plate on the top of the handle is a flower, and from this point the handle tapers in…

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A hand-wrought iron knife, probably Early Medieval in date, but feasibly from any point between the late Roman to Medieval period. The knife is incomplete and is in two parts. The blade has a narrow tang of rectangular section, closer in position to the back of the blade, but slightly offset. Two points with thinner and slightly different corrosion may suggest the position of rivets that would have attached the handle plates to the tang. The knife blade itself was probably triangular, and has a broader face to it than most Medieval examples and fits best in the late Roman and Ear…

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron head of an Adze, heavily corroded, dating from any point in the Roman to Modern periods. In plan, the adze has a trapezoidal head with a projecting base. In profile the adze is triangular with a gentle curve. The projecting base that fits into a haft is subsquare in section while the main blade of the tool is rectangular in section. The edge is more extensively worn in one corner, and this wear combined with the curvature of the blade indicates that the user was probably right-handed.
