Object type: QUERN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two ovoid lead pot-mends of Roman to Post-Medieval date (AD 43-1800). Each carries a small piece of earthenware, possibly Roman greyware, but not enough survives to be certain. Both have one flatter face and one domed face. They measure and weigh 31.99x27.01x9.81mm and 44.3g; 22.07x17.08x9.02mm and 13.7g. Unfortunately such repairs are not diagnostic; a wide date range is therefore offered.

Object type: SEAL BOX
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete copper alloy Roman seal box. The two halves fit together perfectly, but detach due to a break in the hinge of both halves with the rivet missing. The box is lozenge shaped with 'heart'-shaped and rectangular cells which held enamel. Some enamel is still present but is much degraded. The cells are arranged around a central circular 8-armed star. There is some uneven blue coloured residue on the inside of each half, which may be a result of the wax held inside. The bottom half has four circular holes in the base, and cut outs of the two side corners. The edges of th…
