Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead roll, probably a fishing weight, of uncertain date although a Roman one cannot be ruled out. The roll comprises a thick strip of lead which has been bent to form a hollow cylindrical shape. It measures 14mm in length, 12mm in diameter and 4mm in thickness. It weighs 15.27 grams. This object can possibly be classified as a Tyrell (2015) Type B4 weight: a weight not made by directly casting a simple block but by rolling a pre-cast sheet rectangle into a narrow, occasionally uneven, cylinder. It has been suggested that these objects may be fishing line or net sinkers or possibl…

A lead object, possibly a weight of uncertain date. The object comprises a flat circular disc with a slightly off-centre perforation. It measures 25mm in diameter and 3mm in thickness. It weighs 16.49 grams. If a weight, it can be classified as a Tyrell (2015) Type A1: a disc-shaped weight with a central circular perforation. Although resembling a spindle whorl such a function is unlikely given the small diameter of the perforation.
