Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy fitting of uncertain date and function The fitting is of rod from and is complete (with a length of 65.1mm and a weight of 7.9g). The implement is of circular section (4.0mm diameter at the apex, widening to 4.8mm) before a rectangular-sectioned and tapering 'plug' at the terminal (15mm long and 4.4mm x 5.4mm, tapering to 2.9mm x 4.5mm) with a flat end. The other end has a small oval perforation (4mm from the end), presumably for securing or suspending it. No decoration is evident on the fitting. The surface has pale to mid-green patina.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight. Cast conical flat-based standing weight with a central moulded longitudinal tapered aperture of length c.3.5mmand with slightly fluted sides. Patinated overall. The mass might suggest this to represent ten Viking Age Scandinavian units of 4.07gms, as used for bullion transactions. Against this suggestion, David Haldenby kindly comments that weights of this period are not usually perforated (pers. comm.; cf Haldenby, D. and Richards 2016, J.D., Internet Archaeology no. 42) . This is, however, a feature of fishing weights of a more general medieval currency. Suggested date:…

Record ID: SF-C786D4
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An unpatinated struck flint implement of uncertain form, possibly an ovate or a roughout for an axe or similar implement. It is struck from a mottled pale grey flint and is of crude handaxe form with pointed oval cross-section, tapering in profile at both ends. The object has very crude bifacial working, although some of the flakes, particularly at each end, may well be the result of damage rather than deliberate striking of the flint. It measures 114.88mm in length, 66.28mm in width, 27.19mm in thickness, and 165.80g in weight. This is a flint object of uncertain function. It is p…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead weight or possibly spindle whorl. It is circular and has a slightly domed top and bottom and convex sides giving it an oval cross section. There is a oval hole runing through the centre and seven evenly spaced grooves running down the sides. It is 17.8mm in diameter, 8.8mm thick and weights 9.35g, the hole is 6.3 by 5.5mm across. Plain spindle whorls and weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards and are hard to date precisely although most are late Medieval - Post Medieval.

A copper alloy object of uncertain function or date. The object is made up of a square sectioned bar which is 63.3mm long, 5.5mm wide, 4.9mm thick and tapers towards both ends. There is an integral circular sectioned shank projecting from one side that terminates in a globular knop with a central perforation travelling through the center, presumably for attachment. On the side of the bar opposite to this projection there is an old break suggesting that there was once another projection. The function and date of this object have not been identified and it has not been possible to find …

Stone button of uncertain date The button is sub-circular in plan and pointed oval in section (with a diameter of 14.5mm - 16.0mm, a thickness of 5.5mm and a weight of 2.4g) and appears to be made of a fine-grained black shale. Both faces are convex and have been polished to achieve the form. One face has two small parallel holes (of c. 0.8mm diameter) drilled through, from just above the edges. The line of the channels has been crudely scored into the surface above each channel. No other decoration is evident. The surface is abraded chipped. The 'button' is unusual and is diffi…
