Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead and copper alloy weight. Cast lead weight with inset copper alloy object, possibly a fragment of a Late Roman coin - it resembles a bearded bust trimmed from a radiate issue of circa 260-275, though this appearance may be fortuitous. The lead is patinated overall. The use of weights with insets is considered characteristic of Viking Age activity. This example was either casually made or has been partly melted. Its mass falls within 0.3gms of a Viking Dublin unit of 4.43gms. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-950. Length: 19.2mm, Width: 15.7mm, Thickness: 3.9mm, Weight: 4.71gms.

A sheet copper alloy sword pommel, probably dating to the early-medieval period. The pommel is made from one sheet of copper alloy that has been folded from a flat rectangular base up and over into triangular profiled pommel with a rectangular cross section. The pommel is filled with a lead alloy substance, giving the object quite some weight for its size. The folds of the pommel do not quite touch each other and the lead infill has leached out. Through the centre of the pommel is the remains of an iron rivet or pin; possibly the remains of the tang but with a small diameter. Although…
