A lead alloy perforated weight. The weight is 17.6mm long, 15.8mm wide and 16.4mm thick. It weighs 22.01g, or 0.8oz. It is oval in shape, with its perforation running through it vertically. The weight has a creamy white patina remaining on the inside, with the outside a pale blue/grey. Helen Geake writes: "It is very difficult to establish hard and fast rules with lead weights, as we have little material from excavated contexts to compare. The function of lead weights would have varied, from spindle whorls to fishing weights to trade weights." Lead weights are very imperfectly underst…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead conical shaped weight, probably Medieval in date. It has a circular loop set at the top. The top is rounded. It has a height of 24.12mm. There are 7 raised lines running from the top down to the bottom of the weight. The base of the weight has a slight raised rim. Weights are very hard to date precisely as few have been found in dateable contexts in excavation and no real work has been done on them.

Record ID: SWYOR-2AC7A5
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Sheffield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy cooking vessel leg from the Medieval or Early Post Medieval period. The leg is triangular with concave sides in section. It flares out slightly towards the base. The top end is an old break. The leg appears to be sooted at the lower end as a result of use. The leg is 35.5mm long, 26.7mm wide and 9.9mm thick, weighing 38.60g. It is probably from a cooking vessel such as a cauldron or skillet. A similar example to this can be seen on the PAS database, find WAW-18E9E6.

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late medieval/ post medieval bronze possible skillet or similar leg. It measures 38mm in incomplete length, is 16mm wide and max.13mm thick. It weighs 38.3g. At the break, the section of the leg is trapezoidal. At the (finished) foot it is more triangular (max thickness). The point of this triangle, which is quite rounded, flattens just before the break to give the trapezoidal cross-section (9.8mm thick). If this object is a leg, it will be from a smallish or slim vessel. The metal appears to be quite a pure bronze.

Record ID: HAMP-2DB1D2
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly worn body sherd of prehistoric date, probably from a Middle Bronze Age urn. The sherd is irregular, but roughly four sided. The clay has been tempered abundantly with quite fine flint. The external surface has become oxidised to a mid-light orange colour which contrasts with the black of the internal face which is also the colour of most of the profile. As the fragment is fairly undiagnostic the date and original vessel form remain tentative.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn base sherd from a Roman greyware strainer, probably specifically a colander. The fabric is light grey-brown with some micaceous inclusions. On the upper surface there is an angled zone at around forty-five degrees presumably where the body and base met. The base of the vessel features a number of perforations for straining arranged in fairly neat rows. The sherd has an irregular, roughly four-sided shape. The greyware probably has an Alice Holt/Farnham kiln provenance.

Part of a cast copper alloy pot leg. The fragment is very worn making it hard to identify which edges are original and which old breaks. It appears to be oval in section with a fairly flat back and front and rounded sides. There is a raised ridge running down the centre of the front. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1250-1650 for serving and cooking. The fragment is 38.6mm long, 26.2mm wide, 13.1mm thick and weighs 50.23 grams.

Record ID: LANCUM-2DEA62
Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead-alloy token probably dating from the late medieval, post-medieval or early modern period. It is very worn on both obverse and reverse, but seems to have had a capital letter on one side and a spider's-web decoration on the other side. Lead-alloy tokens like this one are extremely common and very difficult to date unless they have a company's name or a value printed on their faces. However, they are usually considered to date from c. 1600-1900 when they were used as mining tokens or factory shops where employees could exchange them for goods or labour.
