A collection of three flint secondary and tertiary bladelets of Mesolithic to early Neolithic date (c. 10,000 BC - 4000 BC). They are brownish grey in colour and semi-translucent at the edges. 1) The first bladelet is long and sub-rectangular in plan, with long sides that are almost parallel. It is rounded at the proximal end and square at the distal end. It is sub-trapezoidal in cross-section.The ventral face is generally flat and smooth, with a shallow bulb of percussion. There may be some very fine, short, scaled retouching at the distal end. Overall dimensions: 37.63mm in l…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy strap end dating to the Medieval period (c. AD 1300-1500). The object is a possible composite strap end, though the end where the spacer would be is now missing. The strap end is circular in plan with an oval, pointed, collared knop at the terminal. The main body of the strap end is flat and the face has some possible decoration though it is too corroded to accurately decipher. The reverse is undecorated and a hole has developed in the lower half through corrosion or wear, which is beginning to appear on the front face of the object. The strap end is simi…

An incomplete copper alloy palstave fragment of Middle Bronze Age date (c. 1500-1200 BC). The fragment is approximately triangular in profile and rectangular in section. The blade end survives intact but has corroded surfaces with some encrustation and a mid-brown to green patina. The sides of the palstave taper inwards from the ends of the blade, before terminating in an old break. This fragment is probably from a palstave, although it could potentially be from the tip of a socketed axe head or a small chisel.
