Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East

A collection of 657 probable round shot all found in the same hole. The balls are of two main sizes, the larger making up the majority of the group. The smaller balls are possibly for a pistol. One ball more closely resembles a shot plug. The rough diameter for the larger balls is approximately 17mm, and many have mould lines. There is a variation across the group in the level of oxidation on the surface of the balls, but this may be due to varying soil conditions throughout the hole. The average weight for the sample taken was 33.97g, with individual weights in the sample from 26.…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible figurine fragment. Cast flat-backed object, possibly the paw and arm of a creature such as a bear, and possibly cast in an open mould. The identification is prompted by moulded detail at the complete end, which appears as three or four parallel claws at the slightly expanded end of a grooved arm, the texture presumed to represent a rough pelt. The outer [convex] side bears closely-spaced diagonal striations; while these resemble file marks they may have been made with a mechanical rather than a manual tool. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900. Length: 33.…
