A complete cast lead-alloy weight of medieval to post-medieval date, c.AD 1300 - 1600. The weight is conical with a rounded top and flat base and was likely formed by pouring molten lead into a thimble casing then allowing it to cool. The object is 19.2mm tall, 17.5mm to 13.9mm in diameter and weighs 32.8g. Although this object has been described as a weight, it may also be a gaming piece. Thimbles have been in common use in England from the 14th century onwards and Geoff Egan (2010, p.265) states that no medieval thimble indisputably dating from before the 14th century has been…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead spindle whorl. Cast, or rather miscast, spindle whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 11.5mm, possibly intended to be of plano-convex form; patinated. The plano-convex form might point to an early medieval whorl, or perhaps a failed attempt to copy one half of a biconvex early post-medieval whorl. |At all events, shrinkage lines around the hole show the whorl was cast in an open mould, which would be the simplest technique of casting at any date. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Post-Medieval, 850-1600 Diameter: 31.6mm, Thickness: 10.6mm, Weight: 29.46gms

Lead shot. Cast ball with opposed flattened faces, probably from its inclusion as the middle ball of a multiple load. Patinated. The mass may suggest this to have been used with a pistol. The use of multiple loads, like that of other eccentric projectiles, was characteristic of the 17th century, though it might also occur accidentally at any time, especially when a shooter was under stress. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Diameter: 14.7mm, Length: 10.4mm, Weight: 13.09gms
