A fragment of a copper alloy figurine of uncertain date, possibly Roman to Medieval (AD 1-1500). The fragment is sub-square in plan and curves in profile. The details represent the top of a figure's head with forehead, hair combed back and the top of the ear visible. The hair appears to have been painted red. The patina is light green. A similar fragment recorded on the PAS database is LEIC-328D15. However, this example shows more detail in the hairstyle more securely suggesting the figurine depicted a Roman female. Owing to the lack of such detail in the fragment in question a bro…

Probable sling stone of undeterminate date.

A tall, conical lead weight, known as a standing weight. A hole has been punch through the apex. These weighs are not yet completely understood.

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy perforated weight, probably a medieval fishing weight. The weight is 58.2mm long, 20.3mm wide and 17.7mm thick. It weighs 68.3g. It is square with concave sides in section and tapers at both ends. One end extends into a simple oval suspension loop. The weight is deeply patinated and is a creamy white colour. Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as often as possible, a large body of data that can be studied will be built up.

Object type: FIGURINE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy figurine, in the shape of a bird. The figurine appears to have broken off from a much larger object as it has a flat, corroded base. It is possibly that this bird was positioned on the end of something like a shaft as a decorative terminal. The bird has its wings out stretched. The metal is extremely corroded and pitted, and is a mid reddish-brown colour. It does not appear to be Roman in date ad does not comfortable fit into the medieval or post-medieval periods, so therefore it remains undated.

The object is a piece of slag of uncertain date. More specifically, this object is tap slag; it was formed during the smelting process when it became necessary to empty the furnace to keep the channels clear. This slag was removed by tapping the furnace, causing it to run out from a hole at the base of the furnace while it was hot. This forms the characteristic ropey-looking surface. The material is dark grey and dense. There are inclusions showing iron corrosion in the base of the object. Though it is not possible to date this object, it was recorded due its proximity to Dere St…
