County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy object, function currently uncertain. The object is cylindrical in shape and hollow, with an integrally cast sub-circular suspension or attachment loop on the top (or bottom, depending on how the article was used). The aforementioned loop is fairly intricately cast, situated on a moulded rectangular plate. The cylinder tapers very gradually, from 12.49 mm at the widest end to 10.77 mm at the narrowest. From the widest end there are two projections, one broken and incomplete. The complete projection emerges from the same side as the loop. The incomplete projection i…

Two stone cobbles which are heat altered and shaped. Both are rounded cobbles which have one face worn or shaped to be flat. One stone is complete. It is dense and well consolidated with many mica particles. Originally a yellow grey colour, pink discolouration suggests heating. The flat surface looks to have been pecked rather than cut or ground. It is 80.52mm long, 60.4mm wide and 33.14mm thick. It weighs 222g. The other stone is broken with a jagged, irregular break. One face is rounded, the original cobble, and the other is ground flat. The stone is dense and well consoli…

An incomplete unidentified cast copper alloy object, of unknown date. It is flat and fairly even, with a longer stem that terminates in a curved 'T' shape. The bottom of the T is curved, and the sides terminate at a point, and are cocave as the edge goes back to the stem. It has been slightly bent. The condition is fair as it is broken and has some dark patina covering most of the surface, but the original metal can be seen through the patina.

A cast lead alloy fragment of uncertain date. It is raised and bevelled on one side and flat on the reverse. It measures 35.9 mm long, 9.25mm wide 5.58mm thick and weighs 16.63 grams. This fragment has been recorded due to its close association with a huge array of Roman objects. It is possible, therefore, that this fragment is Roman in date.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead-alloy conical standing weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical in form, with a slightly concave base; it is hollow and narrows towards the top where it is damaged possibly where there may have been a vertical suspension element. Standing weights of this type were easy to make and used throughout a large period of time. Biconical steelyard weights are common in the Roman period and although this is conical rather than biconical it has been found in direct association with a large quantity of finds from the Roman period. Therefore, it is possible that this weig…
