A cast lead pencil of Post-Medieval date. The stylus is curcular in section and tapers towards the writing point. The opposite end of the stylus is worn and broken.
The metal is a mid-greyish-white colour and is worn and pitted. The stylus is 29.3mm long, 5.4mm in diameter and weighs 6.4g.
A stylus is a writing implement used to scratch letters into the wax of a writing tablet while a pencil makes a coloured mark on wood, paper or parchment. Lead is rarely used for objects that appear to be conventional styli, with the majority of such objects most probably functioning as pencils from the 16th century onward.
In record IOW-ED968C, Dr Helen Geake of the Portable Antiquities Scheme has commented: "The use of lead pencils is still not really understood. At Winchester they are found mainly in 13th- or 14th-century contexts, and it was thought some years ago that when graphite was discovered in Cumbria in the late 16th century lead pencils went out of use; but metal-detector finds of well-made mass-produced pencils suggest that in fact they carried on being used well into the post-medieval period".
Medieval examples are described and illustrated in Egan (1998, pgs.270-271; fig 209) dating from around 1150 to 1300. They have one end which flares and becomes wedge shaped, probably for erasure of marks made on wax tablets. Roman styli are usually longer and made of iron or copper alloy.
Styli and pencils are significant objects, both in showing literacy and in helping us understand more about the actual practice of writing and the production of text.

A complete cast lead bead of uncertain date and function though possibly a net weight or similar. The object is spherical with a slightly flattened top and base. It has a circular perforation centrally along the flattened axis.
The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn. The weight is 12.6mm long, 14.1mm in diameter and weighs 12.9g.
Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely though it is possibly either Roman or medieval in date.

An incomplete post-Medieval to Modern cast lead or lead-alloy circular double-sided token (c. 1500-c. 1850 AD).
The token has raised numerals on one side: '173' and a raised 'compass-drawn' flower-head motif with six petals on the other side. Diameter: 19.4mm. Weight: 3.89g.
Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are thought to date c. 1500-c. 1850 AD.

An incomplete copper alloy weight of probable Early-Medieval date, c.AD 950 - 1050.
The weight is square with a rectangular section and rounded corners. It is undecorated.
The metal is a light brownish-white colour and is worn. The weight is 21.1mm long, 19.6mm wide, 10mm thick and weighs 35.7g.
Similar weights have been published by Haldenby Kershaw (2014) and are dated to the late 9th - early 10th century due to their association with more diagnostic object types from the same site which provide a "narrow chronological window of activity" (p.108). They are described as belonging "to a Scandinavian lead scale-weight tradition, and were produced in line with established Scandinavian weight standards, most likely for use within an economic context" (p.106).

A complete cast lead trade weight of medieval date. The weight is shield shaped and has four deep gouges in the front face which is unlikely to have been part of the original design which can no longer be determined. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Two patches of iron corrosion are present on the top and bottom faces of the weight.
The metal is a mid brownish-grey colour and is extremely worn. The weight is 39.8mm long, 31.7mm wide, 9.5mm thick and weighs 61g.
Similar weights can be seen in Biggs, p.43 which discusses how lead weighs such as this were used to weigh goods under the averdepois system from 1390 in England and were used throughout the 15th century. It is likely that these weights represent a desire to standardize the trade weight system.
Lead shield-shaped weights of various qualities of workmanship and numerous designs have been in use over a long period of time. Therefore due to the lack of any further contextual evidence it is not possible to date this object any more closely.

A cast lead weight of post-Medieval date.
The discoidal weight has a slightly convex upper surface bearing an inverted triangular arrangement of three stamped marks: at the top left is a poorly formed letter 'I' (for James I), surmounted by a crown; the top right mark is that of the sword of St. Paul, representing London; at the bottom is a sub-rectangular mark containing the 'angel and scales' of the Plumbers Company. The artefact measures 50.6mm in diameter and 12.2mm thick. The weight of 224.73g indicates that this is a half pound.
Weights bearing marks of the Plumbers Company are discussed by Biggs and Withers (2000: 58-59). Charged with the responsibility of checking weights made of bronze, the Founders Company of London made efforts, in the 1590s, to prohibit the use of lead weights. This campaign was unsuccessful and such weights are known from the reign of James I up until the 18th century.

A damaged lead cloth seal, probably dating from the 17th or 18th centuries.
The seal consists of two sub-oval discs and a folded connecting strip. On one side is a relief-stamped privy mark containing the letters 'I-(G, C or E)', separated by a triple-stranded foliate design. Into the surface of the other disc have been stamped the letters 'V E'. The object measures 26mm long, 17.4mm wide, 6.2mm thick and weighs 6.73g.

A cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. It is sub-oval and flat in profile, with the section below the slot far smaller than that above and over to one side of it. A small fragment of light-orange pottery survives within the slot but it is not diagnostic. The repair has corroded to a light-grey colour. It is plausibly of Roman date although a later date ought not to be ruled out.

Centrally there is a large raised circle around which is a band of pellets. The area around the outer edge of the mount bears alternating incised lines and circular indentations.
The reverse of the mount is extremely worn and two shallow knops are all that remain of the attachment rivets.
The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and is very worn. The mount is 61.4mm in diameter, 3.7mm thick and weighs 59.8g.

A complete cast lead pilgrim's ampulla of medieval date. The ampulla has a wide rectangular neck which tapers inward slightly before flaring out to form a wide rectangular body. The front face of the ampulla is stamped with an elaborated design featuring a central shield with six petelled rose. The areas to either side of this also appear to bear shield shaped devises though their exact nature can not be determined. Above the central shield is a triangle and below is a strip of short diagonal lines. The reverse of the ampulla is also stamped with an elaborate design this time featuring crosses at alternating angles, the central one again within a shield.
The metal is a light brownish-white colour and is worn. The ampulla is 51.7mm long, 37.6mm wide, 6.2mm thick and weighs 49.5g.
Ampullae such as this were an important pilgrim souvenir known to have been in use from the late 12th century and were designed to contain a dose of thaumaturgic water, which would have been given to pilgrims at holy shrines and wells. The popularity of ampulla dwindled in the early 14th century, giving way to pilgrim badges, however it is believed that they continued in use to the end of the 15th century.

A complete cast lead spindle whorl of probable medieval date. The spindle whorl is circular with a flat top and base and a large central perforation. A series of recessed rectangular cells are present around the circumference of the hole on the top. The bottom is undecorated.
The metal is a light greyish-white colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 25.2mm in diameter, 9.5mm thick and weighs 30.7g.
While this spindle whorl is likely to be medieval in date the lack of contextual evidence from a secure archaeological context make precise dating difficult.
