Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified lead and/or copper alloy object. The object is subcircular in plan, with one concave and one convex side. The surface is pitted and irregular. The convex side appears to have a series of raised lines, but poor surface condition means that these are rather unclear. The object has a green surface with brown deposits, possibly soil, adhered in parts. The object has a maximum diameter of 17.8mm, and it weighs 3.89g. Without further context it has not been possible to identify the object.

Record ID: SWYOR-FFA8B6
Object type: SHOT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy musket ball with a diameter of 17.5mm and a weight of 25.91gm. It has a casting flash offset, which is possibly a result of mould slip. In colour it is light grey, with a pitted and dusty surface. It probably dates from 1644 as it was recovered from the Marston Moor battlefield.
