Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete ceramic object, possibly a loom weight for a warp weighted loom of uncertain date, probably Roman to Medieval, c.AD 43 - 1300.  The weight has a dark orange fabric with large white, possibly calcite inclusions. It is C-shaped with a sub-ovate section and worn breaks to each end. One surface is flat, the other rounded. There is a partial sub-circular off-centre perforation of approximately 8.3mm diameter. The object is 61.1mm long, 27.8mm wide, 23.6mm thick and weighs 64.2g. Loomweights tend to weigh between 150g and 550g. Accounting for the loss of over half of the…

Two (2) conjoined sheets of heavily leaded copper-alloy of uncertain date. The fragments are irregularly shaped with worn breaks to all edges. No identifying features are present. The metal has a mid-green patina with shiny grey patches and is in fair condition. The object is 54.1mm long, 41mm wide, 9.6mm thick and weighs 63.8g. Due to a lack of diagnostic features it is not possible to identify these fragments with confidence. It was found in the same area as a number of fragments of a statue of Roman date though is thinner in section that any currently known pieces of this object.…

A complete copper-alloy ingot of uncertain date. The object is sub-rectangular with a D-shaped section, rounded corners and ends. Often referred to as ‘finger’ shaped. The object is fairly regular in form, suggesting it was cast, and no signs of hammering are present. The metal has a dark green/brown patina and is worn. The object is 54.7mm long, 15.4mm wide, 12.2mm thick and weighs 44.6g. Ingots of this general form in precious metals have been found associated with Early-Medieval hoards such as 2010 T373 (YORYM-CEE620) from Bedale, North Yorkshire. These however g…
