Broad period: ROMAN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast lead alloy form or model for the manufacture of a two part Colchester derivative Polden Hill style / type bow brooch of early Roman date (75-175 AD). This type of artefact is extremely rare and indicative of brooch manufacture on site. The brooch model has been flattened and slightly distorted by movement in the ploughsoil. The wings are complete with expanded terminals; they are semi-cylindrical in plan. On the reverse face of the wing, very near the wing terminal / ends, are two distinct sub-rectangular depressions. These would form a hollow in the casting where t…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead-alloy figurine of Hercules or Jupiter, probably dating to the late 1st-2nd century. The figurine is nearly complete, but considerably corroded, worn, and bent out of shape. The figurine was also a fitting or fixture rather than a freestanding figurine, as the reverse is flat, and the damage to the figure may be related to its removal from furniture or some other object. The figure is facing forward, left arm held to the side and bent at the elbow and holding a globe or perhaps the worn head of a lionskin. The right arm was positioned upright in an L-shape and is holdi…

Object type: PLUMB BOB
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crudely cast, lead artefact of unknown date, probably a weight or a plumb-bob. There is a thick body, oval in section and rounded at the bottom. At the top the artefact is flattened and there is a narrower, circular section rising from the centre of this flat surface, giving the whole artefact the appearance of a bottle with a rounded base. There is no decoration. The artefact is 31.2mm long, 23.2mm wide and 17mm thick. It weighs 72.13gm. The object is similar to LON-F35834, LANCUM-6822C2 and LIN-E94F54 which discusses published parallels. None of the dating in the records is confident.

Cast lead alloy figurine dating to the Roman period. The figure is cast in one piece and is relatively crude in both shape and design. It is broadly sub-rectangular in shape and D-shaped in cross-section with the reverse being almost flat. The figure is worn and has an exaggerated phallus. The arms of the figure are clasped together in front of the chest. The face is worn with no visible features and the eyes appear to be covered by a wide band. One foot is rounded while the other is incomplete. The form of depiction of the male genitals and the posture of the arms make it very probab…

An incomplete cast lead figurine of probable Roman date. The figure is of in a semi-seated position to its left and is of indeterminate sex.

County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and corroded cast copper-alloy steelyard weight with lead filling, probably dating from the Roman period. The weight is broadly piriform, with an integral suspension loop pierced by a circular aperture. At the base of the suspension loop are two ridges formed by two circumferential grooves. The body of the weight is undecorated but pitted and uneven from corrosion, which has resulted in areas of loss. The base of the weight is broken, revealing the internal lead alloy composition which is grey in colour, in contrast to the overall mid-green patina of the exterior. This …

County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date, but possibly Roman. It is semi-spherical in shape with a slightly concave upper face and a domed lower face. This shape is consistent with whorls thought to be Roman in Walton Rogers (2007). The central hole tapers from 9.5mm on the upper face to 7mm on the domed face. It is full of soil. It is 12.61mm in thickness, 29.83mm in diameter and weighs 54.26 grams. Lead alloy spindle whorls are very difficult to date as few are found in datable contexts.

Object type: DIE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A crudely cast, lead alloy die. The numbers are indicated by circular pits. The sum of the dots on opposing sides is not seven, as in regular dice, but 4, 7 and 10 respectively (1 & 3, 2 & 5, and 4 & 6), suggesting that it may possibly be of Roman date, 43-410AD. Egan in Finds Research Group Datasheet 23 suggests that medieval and later dice are usually of the regular layout. Alternatively, it could be a home made irregular die of later date. Compare SWYOR-13BAF7, IOW-F6ADA3, HAMP-1FD124,LEIC-5721E8, SWYOR-0B2B80 and LEIC-8806C0.
