Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead unidentified object. A cast cylindrical or drum-shaped object with a circular indentation of diameter c.5.5mm at either end, in both cases stained with rust. One edge of the drum is chipped; as patina extends over this damage it is considered to have been incurred in antiquity. The markings could suggest the object was retained at its ends by a tensile clip or holder, or that an object or objects were embedded. In the latter case, which is sometimes a feature of Viking-Age weights, the damage to the object and the possible or partial loss of the additional element/s tend to vitia…
