Lead and glass Weight. Cast lead plano-convex domed weight with three transparent colourless glass beads embedded in its upper surface. Weights with embedded objects are an Early Medieval form. The mass of this example is equivalent to one slightly overweight uncia or Roman ounce (of 27.3gms), and the Middle Saxon use of Roman weights and measures after the Conversion would seem to provide the most appropriate context for its use. The distinction of plano-convex counters with embedded objects has also encouraged their identification as game pieces for hnafetafl, in which a king was di…

A cast lead alloy, shield-shaped weight dating from the Medieval period, AD 1350 - 1500. It has a raised central field, also shield-shaped, that is undecorated. The weight has a light grey patina. It is 32.1mm long, 29.8mm wide and 10.3mm thick. It weighs 52gm and was probably intended to be a 2oz weight, though it is a little light. Similar weights, usually decorated, are illustrated in Biggs and Withers, 2000, Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection, page 38.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A lead-alloy weight of probable medieval to post-Medieval date. The weight has been constructed from a sheet of metal which has been rolled lengthways, creating a cylinder which has then been flattened.The surface has a matt greyish /white patina. Length 33.90 mm. Diameter 15.56 mm. Aperture 7.02 mm x 4.55 mm. Weight 28 grams. It would seem feasable to use these type of weights for the weighing down of nets around the outer edge for the trapping of small game or fish. The weight would be rolled around the cord and would be less likely to create tangling of the net.

Pottery. Sherd of externally oxidised and internally reduced hard fired fabric. The fabric is well made but the form poorly modelled. This reporter initially considered the sherd to be from the thumbed attachment of a strap handle to a large vessel; however, Wallace Collyer of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research Group identifies this as a base sherd from a large vessel with a foot ring. Relict patches of transparent splashed glaze appear on the outer surface. These characteristics offer contradictory dates: the form and poor modelling suggests an early date, c.1150-1300, while the…

A body sherd from a copper alloy cooking vessel, possibly a cauldron and dating from the 12th to 18th century, but probably medieval. The body sherd is of uniform thickness and has no decoration or disgnostic elements. According to Butler, Green and Payne (Finds Research Group Datasheet 41), "From about AD 1100, cast copper alloy vessels...were commonly used for downhearth cooking, with the vessel sitting among the embers or suspended over the fire. All but the poorest medieval or post-medieval households would have had at least one metal cooking vessel....These vessels gradually pas…
