Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead probable spindle whorl. Cast cylindrical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 11.6mm, Walton Rogers form B. A possibly moulded design has been partially carried over to one flat side only, unless these irregularities represent shrinkage in an open mould, and lipping appears on the opposite side. Patinated, and probably lightly distorted. The mass points to a primary function plying cord, if not as a flywheel for some other mechanical purpose. The size of spindle hole could admit an Anglo-Scandinavian date, but the possible decoration on one side might rather point to …

Copper alloy chain fragment. Two links of a chain, each comprising a round-section cast bar of length 44mm with a constriction and bend at either end, two ends being linked to each other and the others being broken across their thinnest point.

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object. Triangle of thin sheet metal with two rounded corners and two tiny [diameter 1.1mm] holes, one blind. Possibly for a small value from a set of chemist’s weights. The discovery of a scale of Roman lorica squamata (NLM-C42002) which also has cut corners, reported along with this object, might alternatively suggest this to be another piece of scale armour, albeit of different form.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy disc brooch. A large plain disc with the stub of a small integrally cast loop at its edge; the loop coincides with the position of long paired U-shaped lugs on the back which retained a hinged pin; the stub of a small catch plate lies at the opposite edge of the plate. The lack of rust stains – a diagnostic trait for a brooch fastened with an iron pin – could suggest a Roman date, as might the length of the lugs at the pin seat [as discussed in the PAS Guide to brooches], though the disc form is more usually regarded as Anglo-Saxon. A Roman date is perhaps more…

Base metal possible ingots of this form have been suggested [by this reporter and few others!] to represent some aspect of a possibly Early Medieval system of bullion exchange, but none of the examples recorded to date have such a cut-out.
