Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Opaque turquoise blue glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is oval in plan and circular in section with slight rims around the holes. It has a rough sided hole c.2.4mm in diameter running though it. It is 8.9mm long and 9.2mm in diameter and weighs 0.89 grams.

Guido (1978:70) comments that stray examples of such be…

Probable Weight. Cast conical weight with a rounded top and an irregular indentation at the base. A central longitudinal hole, probably cast using a former, tapers from 4.6mm to 3.5mm diameter from base to top. Patinated overall.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and worn lead-alloy uniface token of probable Medieval to Modern date (c. AD 1250-1800). It has a raised long cross design on one side, dividing the token into quarters; within each quarter is a single pellet. The other side is undecorated. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval to late Post Medieval or Modern in date (c. AD 1250-1800).
