Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead weight of uncertain date, possibly a net or line weight. It is in the form of a truncated cone with a flat base and a flat top which has been pierced with a central, circular perforation of internal diameter 6.6mm at the base and 4.2mm at the apex. Some shallow grooves are visible on the surface, two of which form a cross with unequal arms, but it is likely that these markings are later damage. The weight is 19mm high, 19.8mm in diameter, tapering to 13.3mm at the apex. It weighs 39.4g. It does not appear to correspond closely to any standardised weighing system, though it…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three cast conical lead artefacts of uncertain date, probably Roman to Post Medieval, AD 43 - 1800. All have flat bases, sides tapering to a rounded apex and central, vertical perforations. Two of the perforations are circular but that in the smallest weight is square. These perforations are too small to allow for the passage of anything of greater diameter than thread or line, so are probably net or line weights of some type. None of the weights has any decoration, though all have deep cuts, probably inflicted post-production. The details of the individual weights are as follows…

Two matching lead probable weights of uncertain date, Roman to Post Medieval, about AD 43 - 1800. Each one is a solid cylinder. They have a depression on the underside from the lead contracting as it cooled, and each is decorated with a raing in relief on the top. They have a well developed white patina. 1. 11.86mm high, 16.52mm diameter, 21g. 2. 11.72mm high, 15.4mm diameter, 19.8g. This one is more worn on the top. The mass of these weights does not correspond with any standard weighing systems, so it is likely that they are weights for tensioning, weighing down or ad…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy asymmetrical probable finger ring of probable Roman to medieval date (c. AD 23-1400). Description: The ring is sub-circular in plan being asymmetrical with approximately three quarters being wider and slightly thicker than the other quarter. The ring is tear-shaped in cross section with the point of maximum diameter being from the top where the tear drop shape begins to the centre of the round section at the base of the tear. However, this does not correspond to the minimum thickness, which is shown when the ring is turned to the right, thus creating a square…
