A complete lead pencil dating from the Medieval to Post Medieval period circa AD (1200-1900). The pencil is in the form of a cylindrical rod with one end that tapers to a point. It is circular in section and has a light-cream to grey coloured patina. A similar pencil is recorded under HAMP-C8365B which notes: ​Dr Helen Geake of the Portable Antiquities Scheme has commented: "The use of lead pencils is still not really understood. At Winchester they are found mainly in 13th or 14th-century contexts, and it was thought some years ago that when graphite was discovered i…

A lead shot of Post-Medieval to Modern date, dating from AD 1600-1900.  The object is spherical with a cream to grey coloured surface patina.  The surface is abraded.  It is problematic to assign projectiles to specific calibres of firearm because most shot will have lost weight in the plough zone and there was a huge variety of firearms and they were also used in other machinery. Small musket balls in the 17th century weighed between 23-27 grams. However, it may have been used with later firearms. Reference: …
