SPINDLE WHORL

Unique ID: WREX-A7F44C

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

Lead weights of this form were commonly used throughout the Medieval and Post-Medieval period and are therefore difficult to date accurately. Examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are typically dated broadly to the medieval period c.1100-1500
