Object type: APOTHECARY WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy apothecaries' weight of Post-Medieval date. It is square in form and rectangular in section. On one face is a stamped mark of value for a half drachm (1.94g), the other face is unmarked. This weight measures 10.46mm in length, 10.22mm in width, 2.44mm in thickness, and 1.75g in weight. This is an apothecaries' of Post-Medieval date falling just below the standard weight for a half drachm. It is likely to date to between the 17th and 19th centuries Ad (see Withers and Withers, 1995: p. 65; Biggs, 1992: pp. 8-9).

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead object probably a weight or gaming piece of uncertain date. It is rectangular in form and section. All surfaces are undecorated. This object measures 22.85mm in length, 18.87mm in width, 6.65mm in thickness, 26.06g in weight. There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-EB7D11), (LON-6A4983), (NMS-7F64B5), (NMS-05E756). These all suggest a variety of dates, however a later date seems most likely, perhaps in the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods.

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of cast copper-alloy metal working debris of uncertain date. It is triangular in form and section, terminating on at least two sides in old breaks.

On the back face of this plate is a second rectangular plate of equal dimensions and form, but which projects at its centre to form a rectangular socket that runs the length of the plates and would have enabled attachment of a handle. The two plates are held…
