Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an upstanding rim or recess on its upper surface. Dave Haldenby kindly comments that this may leave the date uncertain, as well as the mass if the recess were to indicate the loss of an inserted object. The definition of the form is especially crisp and might open the possibility of a Roman date, perhaps as a [slightly overweight] half uncia, or even as a later half ounce under the averdepois system. The present mass does not suggest close correspondence with suspected Viking Age systems of measurement. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Diame…

Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead probable steelyard weight. Cast conical lead weight with small apical hole and a larger hole in its base. It is just possible that the body of the weight was cast in two stages, and probable that it was cast in an open mould, inferences from the appearance of the base with shrinkage lines and/or a discernible separation between two putative stages of manufacture. A tall plano-convex form might appear on a Roman steelyard weight whence the iron hook was withdrawn before deposition - hence there is no trace of rust staining. Dave Haldenby kindly notes that this weight could be con…

Copper alloy and iron brooch. Cast headstud brooch, Mackreth type Headstud 8.b. A plain tubular case retains an iron axis bar for a hinged iron pin, the stub of which remains.

A low ridge passes along the crest of the bow, tapering out at the site of a separate oval stud with central annulus retaining mid blue enamel and surrounded by a deep g…

Object type: ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular chunk of a dense off-white stone in which crystalline structures appear to run in two distinct planes. These are exposed at either sub-oval end as a mass of  platelets set on end, with zones of a contrasting orientation on its sides exhibiting a smoother or finer-grained surface with linear striations, though still sparkling under strong lighting. It is uncertain whether this material may originate from veins in the local chalk geology, or from an imported building stone. The texture of the material appears, however, too friable for any sculptural use. It wa…
