Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible chert scraper of Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 9000 BC - 1000 BC. The possible tool is formed on a tertiary flake of black chert with a dorsal ridge. It has possible retouch on all edges which is abrupt, sub-parallel and short. The removals are not particularly uniform, casting some doubt about their intentionality.
Length: 50.57mm
Width: 36.33mm
Thickness: 11.1mm
Weight: 26.96g
The thickness of the flake and abruptness of the retouch rules out use as an arrowhead, but it would be a functional scraper.

County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sheet copper-alloy bell of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1400. The form of this piece suggests it may have been a horse harness pendant (cf. Griffiths 1986: 4, no. 20 cited in BH-95B355). The bell chamber is made from a piece of sheet metal which has had its corners folded inwards, creating a void in which the 'pea' is enclosed. It does not appears to be magnetic, suggesting the pea is made of copper alloy. The hanger is a bar which projects from the apex of the bell; it is of circular cross section and tapers to a rounded end with a circular suspen…
