Object type: SLING SHOT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
A highly damaged and worn Roman lead sling shot, probably dating from the 1st century AD. The object is biconical, thickest at the centre and tapering towards the ends. An assemblage of over 100 lead sling-shots we found on farm in St Albans (south-east of the Roman town of Verulamium) and published by Greep (1987: 183-200), who suggested the possible first century date. The surface of the object is very damaged.

County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead Roman to post-medieval weight. It is very small in size and roughly pyramidal in shape. There is a small amount of damage to one side.
Weights such as these were in use from the Roman to post-medieval periods changing little in form and as such are difficult to date more precisely without further diagnostic features.

A complete lead steelyard weight of possible Roman date. It is biconical in shape with the corroded remains of an iron rod protruding from either end.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight. Cast sub-cylindrical weight with a central moulded aperture of diameter 5.9mm. The diameter is slightly expanded towards the flat ends, though subsequently knife trimmed where this was more marked. A low groove crosses one flat end, passing over the position of the aperture; subsequently patinated. The form approaches that of bobbin or cotton reel-shaped lead weights of uncertain purpose but probably Roman date, as, for example, recorded by David Haldenby from a Roman site at Newbald Lodge, East Riding of Yorkshire, and also reported elsewhere in northern Lincolnshire.
