WEIGHT

Unique ID: SUSS-1E8C47

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A small, but tall dome shaped lead weight, with a circular base. There is a small irregular perforation running through the centre of the weight. The hole is now largely filled with lead corrosion product and soil. The weight is undecorated but the weight has a very rough surface, suggesting that it has been crudely made. A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to a lack of excavated examples and a lack of context this weight must remain undated. The weight appears to be complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.
