Record ID: CAM-5EAD35
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An egg shaped lead weight with the remains of an iron loop just visible within the depression at the top of the weight. Weight is approximately 175g (6oz), height 39.44mm, maximum diameter 33.45mm. The date of this weight is uncertain and could range from Roman to Post-Medieval (AD43-1700) however it is likely to be Roman due to associated finds.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Conical lead weight with slender iron loop at top. The base is oval, 15 x 14 mm, and the weight is 34 mm tall in total. It weighs 28.08g (0.99 oz). Because it weighs almost exactly one ounce, it may be a trading weight of the 14th century onwards; but because it has a hanging loop, it may be a steelyard weight. It is not of the conventional Roman form, so may date to any time from the Roman to post-medieval periods.

A Roman rim sherd from a ceramic mortarium. The fabric is a pale cream colour and the eleven surviving pieces of grit are black and angular. Weight 59.29g, thickness 6.35mm, the sherd is 83.85mm x 44.47mm. Use of a rim chart shows that the vessel would have had a diameter of 260mm and that 12.5% of the circumference of the vessel is represented by this sherd. In places the sherd has lost patches of its surface and none of the outer tip of the rim is present.
Mortaria were used to grind food in the same way that a pestle and mortar are used today. A rough surface was created by pu…

A rim sherd of Roman Nene Valley colour coat ware with barbotine decoration. This sherd is from an open vessel, for example a bowl. The fabric is pale, being cream/white in colour. The surface colour coat, where it survives, is dark grey to black in colour. All surfaces and broken edges have dried mud adhering in places. The rim has a thickness of 11.06mm. Weight is 21.24g. Use of a rim chart indicates that the vessel is likely to originally have had a diameter of 240mm and that the sherd represents c.just over 10% of the total circumference.

A ceramic vessel rim sherd of Roman date. The fabric has a pale grey/off-white coloured core and a dark grey to black surface.

Weight 5.84g, thickness of the base 6.22mm, thickness of the wall just above the base 4.20mm. Maximum height of the sherd 11.30mm. Use of a rim chart indicates that the vessel base had a diameter of 75.00mm and that about 21.25% of the circumference of the base survives. The fabric of the sherd is very pale creamy white with a dark grey reduced outer surface at the base which seems to possibly be changing to lighter grey at the top of the sherd. The fabric is very …

A fragment of a ceramic Roman vessel. This sherd is part of a closed vessel such as a flagon or jar. It comprises the rim and neck probably of Nene Valley Colour Coat fabric.
The sherd weighs 73.48g. It has a flat topped circular rim of 67.4mm external diameter.

A fragment of ceramic vessel of Roman date. This is a body sherd of Nene Valley Grey Ware. The vessel form is uncertain. The sherd weighs 4.38g and is 6.60mm thick. The roughly rectangular sherd measures 29.72mm x 20.43mm. This sherd is probably from the rim area, it curves slightly tapering in thickness towards a groove on what would presumably have been the underside of the rim that is 5.82mm in from the current edge. The fabric is a pale creamy grey colour with a slightly speckled grey colour coat applied to all surviving original surfaces although it has worn thin in places. The s…

A copper alloy artefact with an iron rivet. Possibly a mount of Roman date or alternatively it has been suggested that the artefact is a Medieval (possibly 11th-12th century) buckle with intergral plate.

Fragment of an unidentified object made from copper alloy. The object is flat, and one end appears to be an openwork plate, broken across a pair of perforations; these may once have been back-to-back C-shapes or kidney shapes. The edge of the object follows the shape of these perforations, so is curved. At the other end are two projections perforated to take a hinge bar; the perforations are now blocked with corrosion which appears to be of copper alloy. A slight groove runs across the object between the projections and the openwork plate; this appears only on one face. All the br…
