Record ID: YORYM-B1A82B
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
TREASURE CASE : 2021 T608
A probably complete gold mount probably of Early Bronze Age date, c.2150-1750 BC.
The mount consists of a sub-rectangular thin gold sheet that has been folded at least three times, into at least four layers. One outer layer consists of one terminal end of the mount. This end is rounded and tapers slightly before widening again into the main body of the mount. A fold, bending the mount completely back on itself, connects this layer to the outer layer on the opposite side of the folded mount. This outer layer continues to widen before a…

Record ID: YORYM-767309
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete copper-alloy side-looped spearhead of Middle Bronze Age date, c. 1550 - 1125 BC. It fits into the Acton Park or Taunton phases. These phases correspond with Needham's Period 5 (c. 1500 - 1150 BC).
The spearhead has a leaf-shaped blade with a pronounced triangular cross-sectioned mid-rib on both faces, giving a lozenge shaped cross-section at the point. The edges of the blade are irregular and highly fragmentary due to corrosion. Some trace of edge bevels are discernable along parts of the blade edge, but it is hard to distinguish these from areas of c…

Record ID: YORYM-0B8FDA
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a ceramic vessel dating to the early Bronze Age, c.2,400-1,200 BC. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan and section. Breaks form all edges of the fragment and no indication of the complete vessel form has survived. The pot fabric is black in colour, indicating that it has been highly reduced, and is soft with frequent quartz inclusions. The outer surface of the fragment is decorated with twisted cord impressions forming two parallel lines with several adjacent thinner lines on either side of them, almost giving the impression of cross-hatching. The indentations are cr…

Record ID: YORYM-F4A2BC
Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a copper-alloy Bronze Age socketed axehead (c. 1100 - 800 BC). Only the cutting edge remains. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, sub-rectangular in profile, and triangular in section. The fragment is hollow with an internal triangular recess tapering to a point towards the cutting edge. The edges and faces of the axehead fragment are smooth and precise. The break is uneven and runs diagonally down the body of the axehead. Unfortunately not enough remains of the axehead to be able to identify it more precisely or attribute a closer date.
The metal has a green patina…
