A complete cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. The spindle whorl is plano-convex, having a flat base and domed top, with an off-central perforation running through it. The whorl is undecorated. The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 31.8mm in diameter, 10.8mm thick and weighs 50.6g. Lead spindle whorls were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty. Decorated examples are thought to date to the medieval to post-medieval periods while undecorated examples cannot be secur…

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan with a central circular perforation. The glass is a dark blue colour and survives in good condition. The bead is 22.9mm in diameter, 11.8mm thick and weighs 7.2g. Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty therefore due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and it could be Roman through to post-medieval in date.

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable and possibly incomplete unidentified copper alloy penannular ring-shaped object, flat and slightly angled on its underside and curving to the upper face. It measures 17.52x16.28mm (internal 10.72x10.52mm) and weighs 1.43g. It is c.2mm thick. The object is rather rough to the underside with traces of a possibly metallic deposit or corrosion there. The other face has a little of this but is otherwise smooth shiny and brown. The ends of the ring are rather more lozengiform in cross-section than the rest of the object and it is difficult to see if there is a break. On one e…

Fragment of unidentified object made from iron with a white-metal coating (perhaps tin) on the decorated face. The surviving piece is flat and roughly rectangular, measuring 18.4mm long and 11.0mm wide; there are no identifiable original edges. It is decorated with a pair of circular domed bosses with square or lozenge-shaped flat tops. The white metal has worn away here and there is some lumpy iron corrosion. Around the bosses is a groove with very fine transverse ribbing in the base. Outside this, each boss has a penannular ridge when appears to end in a pellet in the centre of the …

Two fairly crude lead weights of uncertain date and function. The weights seem too small and crude to be spindle whorls. Both are sub-circular and plano-convex in profile and both measure approximately 15 mm in diameter. They each have a circular hole through the centre, approximately 5.5 mm in diameter. They weigh 6.5 and 8.2 mm respectively. Both have a pale cream patina.

Lead Weight. Cast cylindrical weight. Four gouges appear on one end. The mass may indicate this object to represent five units of 4.07gms, which was a sub-unit in the early medieval Scandinavian system of mensuration; if less precisely calculated, it may alternatively relate to an Anglo-Saxon system employing modules of 3.1gms, in which case it would be approximately 7 units. The match with the former system is closer, though neither seems to relate to the marks on the object which are without discernible significance. Suggested date: if a weight, Early Medieval, 850-1100. The form…

Record ID: BERK-6DBD46
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but distorted lead alloy finger ring. The ring is small, possibly for a child or little finger, and has a raised circular bezel that contains a dark blue galss or paste. Either side of the bezel on the shoulders is two smaller circular mouldings that may have once also contained inserts. The band extends from beneath the latter and is plain and circular in section. The ring is similar in form to some Roman finger rings, however the size, material used and quality may suggests a much later date, possibly the post-medieval or even early-modern period.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of an unidentified copper alloy object. The object comproses of three faceted sides, the external faces of which are decorated with punched dots arragned in ring-and-dot and other unidentifiable patterns. Internally, there is a concretion adhering to the inside of the object's wall. This appears to be small flecks of flint or stone and is reminiscent of prehistoric pottery fabric, having a 'biscuit-like' quality. The metal has a tinny tint to it. Further research is continuing to try and identify a function and date for this object.
