Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Conical lead weight of uncertain date. The base is uneven and has an upwards-curled lip runnig around the circumference. Projecting from the top is an iron shank or loop, teminating in an old break and now heavily corroded. Weights can be difficult to date outside of a stratified context due to the fact that they are generally utilitarian objects and forms do not vary significantly over time. Weights of this form are evidenced from the Roman through to the post medieval period and numerous weight-related functions are likely, perhaps as a steelyard weight, standing weight, net weig…

Record ID: NMS-71ACD6
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead spindle whorl of probable medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1500). Biconical with a central circular perforation. Each face exhibits a mouolded pattern of zig zags and radiating lines. Spindle whorls as an artefact type can be hard to date accurately as they remained in use for a long period of time. However, Alberti (2017) comments that biconical spindle whorls are rare in the Roman period and that those examples which are decorated are more likely to be Medieval. See: Alberti, M. 2017 Spindle Whorls Roman Finds Group Datasheet No. 7.
