Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular cast lead die of uncertain, Roman to post-medieval, date (c.AD 43 - 1800). The die is oblong in shape (rather than a cube, suggesting it is probably home-made) with incuse dots indicating the values of each side. The die measures 10.3mm by 9.4mm by 8.0mm and weighs 6.87g. The opposing longer, wider faces are 6 and 5; the longer, narrower faces are 3 and 2; the short ends are 1 and 4. None of these faces add up to seven so it does not conform to a 'regular' known pattern. Opposing faces adding to seven becomes common during the medieval and especially post-medieval perio…

An incomplete copper alloy unidentifed object of uncertain date, from the Roman to post-medieval periods (AD 43 - 1700). The object is D-shaped in cross-section with a flat reverse and convex front. It is in the form of an oval with an arm of narrowing width projecting from one of the long edges. To the reverse of the oval (12.9x9.8x3.2mm), and slightly off-centre, is a broken (old damge) pyramidal projection c.7mm long, 5.2mm wide and 4.2mm thick. The arm curves in an arc and narrows from 7.6x3.1mm to 3.7x2.5mm at an old break. The object measures 21.9mm in length, 12.9mm in max.wid…

Lead object, possibly a pot mend. It is in the form of an oval plate with one flat face. The reverse of the object has a shield-shaped protrusion which is a little off-centre; a few mm in from (and following the line of) the perimeter are arranged 7 small round protrusions. The maximum dimensions are 34.7 by 30.0mm, and the thickness at the protrusions is 7.3mm, and the plate is generally c4.3mm thick. It weighs 33.4g. It has a well developed white patina, and could be of Roman or any post-Roman date - but it is thought that it is unlikely to be post-medieval due to the degree of p…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy weight of uncertain date. The object is circular and plano-convex with a flat base domed top. An irregular central perforation runs through the object and all surfaces appear undecorated. The metal has a light brown patina and is worn. The object is 23.9mm in diameter, 6.9mm thick and weighs 17.3g. The perforation is 9.5mm in diameter. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are di…
