Record ID: WILT-859CAB
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead standing weight of unknown date, Roman to Post Medieval, c. AD 43-1800. It is very crudely cast, being approximately conical with a large hole running from top to an increasing diameter at its base. Measurements: weight 75.6 grams, height 24.9mm, diameter of base (max) 27.9mm Weights of this type are ubiquitous and very difficult to date from undated contexts and were used from the Roman period through to the Post Medieval period where they had various functions such as fishing or trade weights.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Post Medieval lead alloy flat back figurine or mount depicting the Temptation of Adam and Eve. Largely complete but there a few break scars evident.

Length 94mm, width 73mm, and weight 163grams.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Distal end of large primary flake, the proximal end has been broken transversely in antiquity, both lateral edges are steeply retouched on the dorsal face to form an irregular point, this appears to have been used as some sort of piercer as the pointed end is damaged and an internal crack within the flint is visible. The flint is patinated slightly brown, but was originally mottled grey, the extant cortex is now a sandy colour. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

Small and stout discoidal core, of sub-plano-convex section with one side deeper than the other. The flint is patined almost white in some areas, with spotty iron stains to both faces, unusually the flint has a natural boundary between striped and swirls, both  of grey and white, recent damage to the edges show the main colour of the flint to have been of darker greys. All flakes appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Tertiary soft hammer struck blade from a single platform core, of lightly patinated mottled grey flint, the dorsal face has the blade removal scars from four similar strikes, the dorsal side of the platform has been abraded to remove overhangs before each blade was struck. both lateral edges have fine edge damage but most of this looks recent as the colour of the flint is slightly darker than the main faces and most likely does not represent retouch. Early Neolithic, 4,000 to 3,000 BC.

Polyhedral head of a middle-Saxon pin with a short extant length of collared shaft. The head is like a cuboid with each of the four corners of each face cut off, not particularly symmetrically. The theoretical cuboid would have two near-square faces and four rectangular faces, just over half as wide as they are long, with the pin emerging from the centre of one of the rectangular faces. The central and largest facet on each the broad (‘square’) faces is irregularly lozenge-shaped, or near-lozenge-shaped hexagonal. These are each decorated with four punched or negatively-mou…

A fragment of uncertain cast copper-alloy object, Description: The object has a roughly sub-triangular shape in plan, narrowing towards one end. Each end appears to have taken some damage so its original shape is uncertain. There is slightly flaring of the sites at each end perhaps indicating it broke across openwork elements. Each side has slightly curling protrusion but again these are incomplete and broken. The reverse is entirely undecorated. The front has indication of both cast and incised/engraved decoration although from survives it isn't clear as to the pattern or attemp…
