Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy weight, probably dating from the medieval to post-medieval periods. The weight is circular in plan with a roughly D-shaped cross section. There are no markings, stamps or decorations on either the upper or lower face of the weight. There is a small depression on the underside of the weight, and this may be a result of manufacturing by turning. The weight weighs 41gms or 1.45oz. Although very hard to date without contextual information, the weight is most likely to date from the medieval to post-medieval period, c. AD 1300-1600,

Object type: SCREW
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy thumb screw, possibly from a watch winder, nutcracker or even a musical instrument. The screw has a sub-circular dished head with small knop at the apex, a skirted collar beneath which separates the turning head from the shaft; only a fragment of the screw thread survives. Similar objects are recorded as the screw heads for open-box nutcrackers; although no watch-winder exactly like this example has been found, it is possibly this may have also been the objects original purpose. 17th to 18th century AD.

A lead alloy 'pot mend', probably dating from the medieval period. The pot mend comprises two sub-oval discs joined by a thick central shank and was used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. Although very hard to date on their own, some pot-mends do date to the Roman period, although the majority date to the medieval and post-medieval period, c. AD 1300-1550.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy sexfoil mount dating to the medieval period. The mount has six lobed petals raised around a domed centre. The petals have trilobed terminals and each petal is defined by a narrow incised line. The central raised area contains iron corrosion on both the upper and underneath surfaces; this suggests an iron shank which is now missing. The rear of the mount is plain and undecorated. Egan and Pritchard (1993:186-194) illustrate a range of copper alloy flower mounts which were used to adorn straps and harnesses or belts. These mounts were in common use by the middle o…

Object type: TOKEN

County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token. The token has a raised design of an intial or intials, probably intended to be a single letter W (designed as two overlapping letter Vs). There is a single raised pellet both above and below the letter. The reverse is blank. Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth century or later, c. 1600-1800, especially those which depict lettering or initials, this token is therefore dated in lin…
