Object type: ROOF TILE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Ceramic building material. Buff reduced fabric with occasional calcareous inclusions [rock] to length 4mm. Handmade roof tile fragment with one straight edge, and with the imprints of a sanded surface on its underside where the green or unfired tile was laid, and either glaze or vitrification traces on the smoothed upper surface. The glaze might suggest this to be part of a ridge tile or roof furniture, which were often glazed; the object is thinner than a plain ceramic roof tile. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1400 Width: 38mm, Thickness: 12.1mm, Weight: 26.29gms

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an uneven surface with off-centre dimple and a flat base; perhaps cast in an open mould suggesting the flat side to have been uppermost at the time of fabrication. Opposed pairs of nicks appear on the flat side. The metal retains a grey tint suggesting its relatively recent date. Though a weight close to this mass was reported from the London waterfront (Egan 1998, table 15) though it was not thought to respect any prevailing standard. This object might alternatively represent one and a half averdepois ounces, perhaps as a homemade weight for the k…

Object type: BRIDLE BIT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy bridle bit, possibly dating to the late Iron Age to the Roman period (circa 100BC to 200AD). The object consists of two bars placed parallel with a central moulded collar which has been worn and thus less prominent. On each end of the bit, one bar has broken off and the other continues a short distance, curving slightly outwards before also ending in a break. The object has a green surface patina, with areas of pitting, and is overall smooth.  It is similar to WMID-8B23B3 and OXON-2C1494, suggesting this object is likely a bridle bit dating fro…

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an uneven upper surface on which appear straight lines moulded in bold relief. The lines may represent two separate arrowhead forms or perhaps an untidy monogram including letter forms resembling M and V. On the base – or the top as cast in an open mould - there is a central dimple with a crudely incised triangle around it. Patinated. The combination of relief features, dimple and incised base recur in medieval London (e.g. Egan 1998 fig. 233 no. 993, see also no. 990) where they may respect a medieval standard (ibid. table 15), and were poss…
