Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Early medieval lead strap-end. The strap end is rendered in the Winchester style. Although this decoration is fairly crude in execution and eccentric in detail, it depicts a fairly standard inhabited plant-scroll design featuring a pair of confronted lizard-like creatures with rounded heads (and possibly tails) at the top, each perched on the branches of a central plant which sprouts from an unusual calyx or bulb at the bottom. Whilst fairly low-level in craftsmanship, the fact the decoration has been finished and the rivet holes pierced shows that such lead examples were clearly inte…

Record ID: BH-3B39F0
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Lead plug with attached pottery fragment. Probably a mend for a pottery vessel. Although the pottery fragment is too small to be dated these items are usually Roman in date. Consists of a sub-oval, slightly convex (ie dome shaped) lead front plate, containing a small hole (damage) and irregular edges and surface. This measures 35.2mm long, by 27.1mm wide. On the reverse a lead stem extends from the mid point of the front plate and terminates in a smaller, irregularly-shaped, second plate (parallel to the first). A small piece of orange courseware pottery is sandwiched in between these …

Record ID: BH-3B8CC2
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Lead pot mend. Undatable, although it is likely to be Roman. It consists of an irregular, oblong oval flat lead front plate, measuring 35.6mm long, by 29mm wide. There are some indentations on the upper surface, although these are probably the result of post-depositional damage. On the reverse a lead stem extends from roughly the mid point of the front plate and terminates in a second, smaller, irregularly-shaped plate. Unlike example BH 3B39FO (with which it was found) there is no pottery sandwiched between the two plates. The total thickness of the piece is 12.4mm. The weight was not…

Object type: SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Russian lead bag seal of Post-medieval to modern date (AD 1700-1850). The seal is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by a hole running across its diameter. The holes would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag. Stamped text can be seen on both sides of the seal; one bears three lines of text which appear to read NI/AP12R/1802•. This text is likely to represent the name of the Quality Control Officer and possibly a code for the location at which the Officer worked or the registered number of the sealing tongs he used.…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead weight of Roman to Medieval date (AD 43-1500). The weight is cuboid in shape and contains no discernable decoration. Due to the long period during which such weights were used and the lack of differential diagnostic features during that period a broad date has to be applied to this object. The metal is a creamy white in colour. Length: 15.15mm Width: 12.67mm Thickness: 9.10mm Weight: 14.44g
