Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead spindle-whorl of Medieval date (c. AD1200-1500). It is a circular spindle whorl with a central circular hole and appears to be undecorated. Lead weights like these are common finds, but only rarely from excavated contexts which is why date and origin are difficult to pinpoint. Decorated lead-alloy weights are very rare finds in excavations, but are often found by metal detectorists. They are usually biconical or cylindrical in shape and are decorated on both faces with raised dots and radiating lines or zig-zag ribs. They have been found in ploughsoil over the site of Roman …

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval copper alloy strap fitting, a belt mount with a separate centrally placed rivet and a round concavity on the reverse. The form is suggestive of a stylised facing bust with neck. Two moulded low projections bear some resemblance to brow ridges. However, the cross-hatched engraved decoration has no clear relation to facial features. Several examples on this database are said to represent scallop shells (see LIN-1C4243), while of two examples from Buckinghamshire (Milton Keynes), one was described as pear-shaped and the other as an animal head (Ivens et al. 1995, fig. 153, nos. …

A lead alloy probable weight likely to be of Medieval date. The object is a circular disc with a small (1.6mm diameter) hole through the centre. One face is marked with a scratched cross covering the face. There is no other decoration or marks. The weight has a well developed white patina, and a little modern damage. It is 32.2mm diameter and 5.1mm thick. At 36.6g (1.2oz) it does not appear to be a standard mass, except possibly for 24 pennyweights (Egan, 1998, The Medieval Household, page 302).

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

A uni-face lead alloy token dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and flat. The object is decorated on one face with a four pettaled flower with a central moulded pellet. The rear of the object is undecorated. The object has a light white patina. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD), those which seem…
