Object type: WINDOW GLASS
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
White [i.e. colourless] translucent bubble glass with a greenish tint and slight iridescence mainly on one side, possibly window glass. A thin [1.7mm] flat form with one straight made edge which is slightly curled or lipped during its manufacture might suggest this to be from a small pane from a window. The good condition tends to argue against a medieval date as the 'forest glass' of that period usually deteriorates to a darkened crumbly friable texture whereas this is solid, probably a soda glass made to a Roman recipe. Evidence for glazing at any period before the later post-mediev…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Fine grained honey coloured Sandstone, possible whetstone fragment. Rectangular section fragment, possibly from a bar shaped workshop or kitchen whetstone - as distinct from hones worn or carried at the belt. All four sides appear smoothed, and one side may also be lightly dished. A break at one end is ancient damage inflicted before a prolonged period of immersion; the break at the other end is recent, exposing tiny quartz inclusions. The rest of the surface has been smoothed after its ancient breakage by prolonged immersion and rolling by water. The material is not ideal for sharpen…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Buff Coloured medium compacted Sandstone (non-specialist identification by MF). Whetstone. Tapered hone of square section, carefully shaped and smoothed by use on all four sides, chipped at its narrow end and broken at the other. Either point-sharpening grooves or, more likely, post-depositional damage, occurs on one flat face; one aris also bears damage post-dating use of the object. The rectangular form is common for Roman hones, but continued in use - as perhaps did some of the same hones - into the Anglo-Saxon period. At this later period, large and carefully shaped hones,…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Fine grained Sandstone possible whetstone. Trapezoid straight-sided object of rectangular section, chipped at both ends and thickest at its wider end. The fine grained stone would lend itself to use as an improvised sharpener, and such mediocre honestones are most commonly reported from Roman contexts, though were also used before and after. Some doubt may be introduced by the tendency of some sedimentary stones to split neatly along bedding planes, as well as by other natural processes such as Aeolian sand-blasting, and by the lack of dishing from wear. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.…

County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Dark grey micaceous Mudstone possible hone fragment. Fragment from a possible hone; a needle or point sharpening groove of width 3mm runs along the one unbroken edge. The use of such stone, perhaps derived from glacial Drift, may argue an early date and local manufacture. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410. Length:49.6mm, Width: 20.2mm, Thickness: 13.3mm, Weight: 15.10gms.

Fine-grained compacted Sandstone, whetstone. A short bar hone of originally rectangular section, reduced to oval section towards one end by heavy wear. All four sides are lightly dished towards their centre by this use. The flat ends suggest the object is complete. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Length: 59.3mm, Width: 26.9mm, Thickness: 19.2mm, Weight: 61.33gms

Object type: WHETSTONE

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Fine-grained stone whetstone fragment; uncleaned, so material remains uncertain. One end of a rectangular section hone with all four sides dished by wear, in two opposed faces very heavily so. One proximal corner is rubbed or worn, broken across the other end. The improvised use of sharpening stones is especially typical of the Roman and Early Medieval periods; the former dating may be suggested here by accompanying finds. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Length: 37.9mm, Width: 29.1mm, Thickness: 21.6mm, Weight: 34.07gms

Object type: WHEEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Copper alloy wheel. Cast four-spoked 'wheel' - the object is actually square with rounded corners, of which one is lost .This recalls the wheel attribute associated with the Celtic deity Taranis or a sun-ray symbol, though this squared version also recalls the eccentric bicycle wheel designed by Hengist Pod in the film Carry on Cleo. One 'spoke' is slightly thinned, apparently by wear, so the object may conceivably have functioned as a strap distributor or union. More recognisably circular wheel motifs from Winteringham, North Lincolnshire were associated with a large collection …

John Creighton writes: Model Wheel. A Piece of openwork, comprising a circular wheel with four radiating spokes, two spiralling out clockwise, two spiralling out anti-clockwise; there are three other spokes which do not quite reach the edge of the circle, these all spiral out clockwise. At the centre is a hole, diameter 6.5mm, filled with a different kind of [ferrous] corrosion product. Possibly related to Romano-Celtic Wheel God artefacts recorded by Miranda Green – MF would also suggest possibility of a model cart. Diameter: 41mm, Thickness: 2.41mm, Weight: 9.7gms

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Lead probable weight. Cast waisted weight, resembling an exaggerated cotton reel form. This may have facilitated tied attachment, or movement along a guide or channel. Comparable weights accompany groups of Roman finds from Newbald Lodge, East Yorkshire, in the Foster Collection of metal detector finds held at the Hull and East Riding Museum. However, their function remains uncertain, and it is equally uncertain whether they form part of the Roman assemblage, or may derive from later activity centred on the 19th-century farm. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Diameter: 36mm, Height:…

Lead weight. A drum or cotton reel shaped weight: a solid cast cylindrical object with expanded and slightly convex ends. Patinated overall. The waisted form may have permitted a tied attachment. Similar weights among detector finds from the Yorkshire Wolds have been associated with finds of Roman date. Alternative and more recent uses might also be considered. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410. Diameter: 22.95mm, Height: 27.0mm, Weight: 83.38gms.

Lead Spindle whorl or weight. Penannular weight made by rolling a rectangular-section billet of cast lead around - presumably - a former, leaving central sub-circular hole (of diameter c.8.5mm).

Lead Spindle whorl or weight. Cast circular flattened conical whorl or weight with an off-centre square-sided perforation (c.5.1mm square); the perforation has been formed by driving a square-section object - perhaps a nail - through the lead, as the metal is markedly lipped on one side. One of two lead objects from this group of similar size and weight, just over one half imperial (British) ounce. Diameter; c.19.5mm, Thickness: 7.12mm, weight: 16.9gms.
