A lead alloy oval pot mend. These mends were used throughout the roman and medieval periods as a result these are extremely difficult to date unless there is datable ceramic evidence within the repair.

Record ID: SWYOR-D43925
Object type: POWDER MEASURE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead alloy possible powder measure cap dating from AD 1500 - 1700. Now squashed, the circular base and side walls of the cap survive. The rim is damaged and parts of the walls are missing. There is a pronounced ring on the base of the cap at the base of the wall. The lead is a grey colour and is hardly patinated. There are no attachment loops surviving. These observations cast some doubt on the identification. The object could be later in date of function unknown.

Record ID: KENT-D413D7
Object type: PIPE TAMPER
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post-Medieval cast lead figurine in the shape of a human head, possibly part of a pipe tamper. The facial features appear to be that of a young male with full cheeks and short hair (in the fashion of a 'short back and sides'). The back of the head appears to be undecorated below the hair line. The head is ovoid with the longer axis lying front to back and apparently sitting on a plinth. The underside of the base is level with a slight circular indentation in the centre.

Object type: PIN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small, cast lead alloy artefact, probably the head of a flat-headed pin dating from AD 1150 - 1200. It is disc shaped and the face is decorated with a central dome within an outer ring of twelve small pellets. The central dome has cross-hatched decoration. The reverse is flat and carries an integral tube of metal, of sub rectangular shape, one end of which protrudes over the edge of the disc, where it has broken away. A copper alloy shaft would probably have been soldered into this tube. Compare LON-F98353 for a complete example, and number 1470 on page 300 of Egan and Pritchard whi…

Record ID: YORYM-CFB8B6
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead spindle whorl or weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan with a flat top and base and a central perforation running through it and is undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is worn. The object is 28.2mm in diameter, 8mm thick and weighs 36.9g. The perforation is 9.6mm in diameter. Lead spindle whorls and weights were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty without supporting archaeological context. The function of such objects is also difficult to determine…
