Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Lead alloy possible spoon fragment. A scrap of cast lead alloy with one flat face, one with a triangular chevroned ridge, and broken on all its edges. The ridged side is here interpreted as the reinforcement of the meeting of stem and bowl. A grey tint may suggest a relatively recent date for the object while a partly delaminated appearance is typical of homemade spoons. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1800 Length: 20mm, Width: 15.9mm, Thickness: 4.6mm, Weight: 3.80gms

Lead alloy spoon fragment. Cast handle from a teaspoon or similar, with moulded ovulos aligned down the centre line of its display side in a linear series which is continued by two or more stamped dots; bowl lost and terminal chipped.

Lead alloy ingot. A round ingot of plano-convex section which has set in a shallow hollow, probably in a fine sand bed. A sand bed would be the usual requirement for a scheme of professional lead working.
