Lead hemispherical weight. Cast plano-convex weight with longitudinal perforation, tapering from 7mm diameter on the flat base to 3.5mm diameter at the apex. This may have been intended for attachment of a suspension loop. Of two hemispherical weights from Early Medieval Flixborough, one is unperforated but the other is of similar diameter to this example and is equipped with an iron loop; it comes from a context of supposedly Viking-Age date though with residual material present - careful review (by Ian Riddler) has cast doubt on the likelihood of an Anglo-Scandinavian phase at Flixbo…

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Pottery Bodysherd of shell-tempered fabric, possibly from a hand-made vessel. The inner surface is black; the outer surface is oxidised to a pale orange-buff colour. The diameter of the vessel, at least where this sherd comes from, would be about 140mm. Despite the coarse fabric, there is no sign of external sooting, and therefore no evidence that this was from a vessel used as a cooking pot. Sandra Firth kindly examined this sherd, suggesting a possible Roman date. Suggested date: Later Iron Age to Early Roman, -300 to 200. Length: 43.19mm, Thickness: 8.7mm, Weight: 18.04gms.
