CASTING WASTE
Unique ID: LIN-6FBB83
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Two globules of solidified molten casting waste. The objects are irregular in form and section with no identifying features. They are dull silver in colour. In the absence of metallurgical analysis it is unclear as to whether the metal is silver or another white metal such as tin. Furthermore, due to the undiagnostic nature of the finds they cannot be securely dated.
Average dimensions are as follows: 30.3mm in length, 18.95mm in width, 13.94mm in thickness and 26.77g in weight.
