Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular uniface token, c. 1250-1800 AD. Powell Type 14. The token has been cast with a raised design of a equal arm cross with a pellet in each quarter on the obverse and a flat, undecorated reverse. The token measures 20.86mm in diameter, 2.68mm thick and weighs 5.9 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date. Until recently cross and pellet designs were thought to be contemporary with the similar Medieval coin designs…

A group of five small rounded lead alloy weight pellets, their collective weight being 2.83gram.
The individual dimensions of each pellet is:
1: Weight 0.72 grams Diameter 5.30mm
2: Weight 0.73 grams Diameter 4.64mm

Object type: DIE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A crudely cast, lead alloy die. The numbers are indicated by circular pits. The sum of the dots on opposing sides is not seven, as in regular dice, but 4, 7 and 10 respectively (1 & 3, 2 & 5, and 4 & 6), suggesting that it may possibly be of Roman date, 43-410AD. Egan in Finds Research Group Datasheet 23 suggests that medieval and later dice are usually of the regular layout. Alternatively, it could be a home made irregular die of later date. Compare SWYOR-13BAF7, IOW-F6ADA3, HAMP-1FD124,LEIC-5721E8, SWYOR-0B2B80 and LEIC-8806C0.

A lead alloy spindle whorl of probable Medieval date. The spindle whorl is sub circular in plan and sub rectangular in cross section with rounded edges.

Broad period: MODERN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Alloy, with coat of paint or tar, possible vessel fragments. Two fragments of a cast vessel with curved body of thickness 2.6mm and a thickened rim, the latter possibly serving as a lid seat. A thick black paint or tarry coating is splashed on the outside surface of both fragments, and may suggest its use rather than a decorative finish. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900.

Object type: TOY
Broad period: MODERN
