Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead-alloy weight, probably a Roman or medieval steelyard weight dating from c. 1st-16th century AD. The weight is made from lead-alloy and is onion-shaped with no further marks on the surface. There are remains of an iron hook at the top which is now corroded away and missing. Steelyards weights such as this were in common use in agricultural areas, but they were not official weights seeing that they were not marked in any way. Official weights would be clearly marked with an indication of the weight and the assayer's mark.

A complete circular biconical cast lead-alloy weight, possibly a spindle whorl dating from the later medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. AD1200-1600. The lead weight is flat biconical in cross-section with a rounded base and top. It is decorated with an erratic criss-cross pattern on both sides. The edges on both sides are decorated with large circular pellets giving the rim a bulgy look. This, however, may have improved the spinning motion of the spindle whorl, similar to modern spinning tops which have a thickened or bulging edge. Lead weights like these are common finds…

Two, raised, concentric circles then divide these panels up into cels with some cells then sub-divided again by shorter, linear ribs. The overall design is of a spider-web. The reverse of the button is…

Record ID: NARC-15FCC4
Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy uniface circular token. The token has a raised three line design, creating a stylised H. It measures 19mm in diameter, 6.5mm thick and weighs 11.55g. Its globular shape may suggest its use as a gaming counter rather than a currency or reckoning token. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were manufactured locally. They are therefore difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MODERN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast lead-alloy weight, probably home-made/unofficial, dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1800. The reverse is plain and shows that the weight was roughly cast whilst the obverse displays lettering withing two concentric circles. It is mirror-writing and it is not possible to make out the writing in the outer circle. However, the central writing reads '[1/2]lb'. It is very similar to two lead weights recorded under LANCUM-1440E4 and LANCUM-0FA5A3. The artefact is incomplete due to old breaks. Dimensions: Diameter: 36.05mm, thickness: 3…
