Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead steelyard weight. The weight is globular in shape and has a corroded iron shank passing through the centre, emerging at both ends. There also appears to be regularly spaced iron protrusions emerging from the side of the weight. The weight would probably have been used on a steelyard for measuring commodities. It may date from the Roman period or after and such artefacts can be difficult to date when found outside of a stratified archaeological deposit. Length 40 mm, thickness 23.7 mm, weight 73.1 grams.

Cast lead disc shaped weight with three raided parallel lines across one side and rounded edges. It is 28.4mm in diameter, 7.5mm thick and weighs 31.67 grams, 1.11ounces. The edges have corroded and there are various nicks and dents that suggest it was once slightly heavier. Simple cast least weights were made at home from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses, they are therefore hard to date precisely; this example could also be a gaming counter.

Object type: CRUCIBLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two fragments of a ceramic crucible. The fabric is a white ware with no obvious inclusions and is highly fired, but is still able to be scratched. The exterior appears to have fine linear grooves which may be decoration or part of the manufacturing process. On the interior of each sherd there is traces of a copper alloy adhered to it. The copper alloy has traces of red copper corrosion and has a 'bubbled' surface. The two sherds together weigh 5.5g. The date of the sherds are uncertain, but probably date to the Medieval or Post Medieval period.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy object of uncertain date or function. The object is sub-rectangular in plan. One end has a circular sectioned socket for attachment. The rim of the socket is of uneven thickness and the base of the socket has broken away. The edges are uneven suggesting that it was origionally longer. The object then tapers downwards and becomes sub-rectangular in cross-section. The upper part of the object is dome-shaped and smooth while the lower face is irregular with three transverse grooves where it flattens out. At either side of the object is a rounded projecting lug, both of …

A large cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. It is domed but otherwise fairly amorphous. The slot to fit into the vessel is towards the flattened base. A general date is given below although the presence of large numbers of Roman finds in the vicinity is noted.

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy ring, broadly hexagonal (with rounded corners) in cross-section with a slight carination at the centre of the outer side. The side is slightly irregular in width and thickness. The object is 20.6 in external diameter, 11.2mm in internal; 4.2mm thick by 4.8mm wide at the widest point and 3.6mm thick by 3.8mm wide at the narrowest; it weighs 5.01 grams. Plain rings like this are very hard to date, although this artefact is plausibly Iron Age or Roman in date. It may have had a variety of uses including on harnesses and as suspension rings. The object has a dark-gr…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete cast copper alloy biconical bead of uncertain date. Circular in plan, with a bi conical profile and a central cylindrical perforation. It has been covered in a black substance by the finder. Similar beads are known from elsewhere in England and at least 25 examples are recorded on the PAS database including examples from Essex (e.g. ESS-81C115) Suffolk (e.g. SF-988881) and Kent (KENT-A3BC02.) However while Roman or Late Iron Age dates are regularly proposed, the simple form of these beads makes them impossible to securely assign ot a date range.

Fragment of an unidentified cast copper alloy object. This object consists of a thick sheet of metal, broken at either end but with two original rounded edges survive with converging angles which give the fragment a triangular shape. An irregular ridge or casting flash runs down the centre of this sheet. On the reverse a second integrally cast sheet, running along the same alignment as the casting flash projects outwards on a perpendicular plane. This sheet has no original surviving edges and bubbles from casting are visible in the abraded broken edges.The finder has covered this obj…

Record ID: PUBLIC-419247
Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A substantial copper-alloy bracelet of undetermined date. The bracelet is complex in design and construction. The bracelet has suffered a break in antiquity with the broken ends smoothed. The two breaks do not quite match and it appears there may be a section missing.The attachment ends are confusing, with the largest piece having a two prong ( one section is missing) arrangement creating a narrow sub-oval opening. The terminal end of the remaining prong has a knop which is drilled which suggests the use of a pin. The opposite terminal has a circular loop.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper alloy openwork unidentified object, of uncertain date (but probably Roman to Post-Medieval, AD 43-1800). It is curving in profile and measures 28.41x14.25x5.44mm. It weighs 5.6g. One edge consists of a rib, D-shaped in section and being flat to the inside of the curve, to the side of which extends three cross-shaped extensions. One of these has broken and only a stub survives. At the centre of the other two is a lozenge. Breaks beyond these as well as breaks at either end of the D-sectioned rod, suggest this is only a small fragment of a larger object. However t…
