Record ID: KENT-2D6F92
Object type: PIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy pin of uncertain date. It is bent, and currently in an L shape, with the shorter arm curving out at the end. The object is circular in section, and slowly expands towards the end that is bent. It is mostly light green in colour, with small patches of red. In its current state, it measures 51.52 mm L x 2.88 mm DIA (at its thickest point) and weighs 2.59 g.
It is possible that this pin is a brooch pin, but remains uncertain.

Object type: JAVELIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy projectile point, probably a javelin dating to the Bronze Age. All the survives is the tip and a small portion of the body. The fragment is sub-triangular in plan, and circular with rectangular projections in section. The round portion creates a visible round ridge down the centre of the point; this section is filled with a secondary hard black material, which has medium sized inclusions within it, and some red iron corrosion at the edge of the break. It is in good condition, with a dark green patina. It measures 37.82 mm L x 10.92 mm W x 5.40 m…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date and function. It is flat in section and has a sub-lozenged shaped body, with a rounded perforated terminal. It is red in colour with a few patches of light green corrosion. It is in good condition, with an old break on the loop in the terminal. It measures 35.04 mm L x 9.56 mm W x 1.73 mm TH and weighs 2.64 g.
This resembles Roman amphora shaped strap ends, however, it is simplified in comparison and no parallel can be found. A similar terminal can be seen in Crummy, no 4645, which is listed as a miscellaneou…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date and function. It has a round rivet at one end, a stem, and a trifoliate terminal. The rivet is round and set on a shallow diamond projection that matches the angle of the stem, which is diamond shape in section. There is a large oval double collar over the projection. The stem tapers inwards towards the centre and expands outwards towards the terminal; this includes two projects that shoot out, but are now missing. There are two incised parallel lines below these projections. The central projection is straight, but breaks…

A cast copper alloy terminal of uncertain date and function. It is sub-triangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. The large knop has a rounded point at the end, and the base of the triangular shape is attached to a round projection. The projection expands into a round collared rivet, where it breaks.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete, Age uncertain, cast, lead alloy, spindle whorl. The spindle whorl is roughly circular, plain, conical shape with tapering sides and relatively large, roughly central hole for a wooden spindle used by hand to spin the raw material i.e. wool from the fleece into yarn - later to make cloth. The spindle whorl is pale grey almost white coloured surface with a few blue and red corrosive spots on the slightly irregular surface. There are a number of small dents and scratches sustained by agricultural activites i.e. ploughing. This spindle whorl could date from the Roman to Post M…

A complete, Age uncertain, crudely cast, lead alloy, weight. This weight was probably used in the construction of textiles. The weight is a rounded conical shape with a central hole and slight recess in the base. It is pale cream coloured with a matt surface but bright metal on one edge where it has probably been hit by an agricultural implement recently. This weight is of uncertain date but probably dates between Roman to Post Medieval. Ref.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable pin manufactured from cast copper alloy. The object has a flattened disc-like terminal decorated with two raised horizontal lines, the shaft is rectangular in section around the middle, tapering to a point.
This object may be part of a brooch fastening, or used for securing clothing. Broadly similar examples, also from Lincolnshire, may be found on this database including NCL-DOCEC4. That particular example has been identified as an early medieval pin, dating from the 8th-9th centuries.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete, age uncertain, Roman-Post Medieval, crudely cast, lead alloy probable weight. Rounded, conical shaped apex but with tapering base otherwise oval in cross-section shape. There is a relatively, fair size hole of distorted crude oval shape that penetrates right down to the other end but does not go right the way through. This cavity 'mushrooms' out within the body creating an undercut. It is quite possible this weight was mounted on a wooden shaft, now rotted away, in which case it could have been used as a small club or walking stick handle. The weight has an uneven matt pal…

County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. It is broadly sub-oval and flat in profile, with the sections above and below the slot of similar sizes. There are no discernible pottery fragments within the slot. The repair has corroded to a light-grey colour. Unfortunately such repairs are not diagnostic; a wide date range is therefore offered.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is circular with a circular perforation running through the centre. Part of the weight has become misshapen, most probably as a result of its deposition.
The metal is a mid brownish-grey colour and is worn. The weight is 16.8mm in diameter, 9.6mm thick and weighs 12.7g.
Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely though it is possibly either Roman to Medieval in date.

A cast lead weight. The date of this type of weight ranges from Roman to Post-Medieval. The weight is circular in plan. The base has a diameter of 23.26mm and the sides slope upwards to a flat top with a diameter of c.15.00mm, this gives a flattened conical or hemispherical (D-shaped section). A circular perforation is present at the centre of the weight from flat base surface to flat top surface. This perforation is filled with hard dried mud which makes it difficult to determine an accurate diameter. The diameter of the perforation at the base is c.8.74mm and the diameter at the top…

Object type: PLUMB BOB
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead plumb bob of uncertain date. The weight is conical, with an iron suspension loop projecting from the top. There is some corrosion damage to the surface of the iron, and wear to the lead surface, but otherwise the object is in fair condition.
Still in use today, the plumb bob has a long history with its earliest recorded use by the Egyptians in around 2600BC (Murland). There are several examples on this database with numerous dates attributed, but no distinct typology has been developed to enable accurate dating of these tools. This example resembles LANCUM-8FA658, a roman…

Copper alloy possible lid fragment with handle. Cast flat plate 1.8mm thick with a rounded lug brazed to one surface, perhaps to facilitate attachment or suspension. There is no discernible curvature of the plate, so this is unlikely to be part of a vessel. The plate is broken on all sides. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1800.
