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

A copper alloy mount from a medieval laver. The mount is in the form of a dog's head and neck. The head resembles 14th/15th century spouts which sometimes show a dog's head at the front. Although quite corroded, one can still see the snout, eyes and ears of the dog. On the back it has a deep circular hollow which was for the attachment of a handle, and the break at the neck is where the head would have been soldered to the side of the vessel. Finds of mounts are not uncommon since the mount represents the laver's greatest point of weakness and thus is most vulnerable to being broke…

Four rim sherds and one body sherd from a probably medieval (AD c.1066-c.1200) or possibly Iron Age to Medieval (c.800 BC-AD c.1200) ceramic vessel. The sherds appear to have come from a large wheel made vessel with a rim of at least 560mm in diameter. The fabric is hard and very coarse. It is brown in colour with a thick dark grey unoxidised core. It contains many large white shell inclusions. This type of pottery is called shelly ware because of these inclusions. The outer surface of the vessel is covered in black soot showing that it was used for cooking. Rim sherd 1: Length: 16…

A complete but worn struck / hammered copper alloy trade token, issued by Samuel Lvdinton (of the Mercer's Arms), during the mid 17th Century (1660-1683). Both Townsend (1983, p.40) and Williamson (1889, p461, #155) has identified this token as belong to that of Samuel Ludinton, who was mayor of the City of Lincoln in 1647 and 1660. There was another Samuel Ludinton, probably the son of the former, who held the office of Sheriff in 1681 and Mayor in 1683 (Williamson, 1889, p461). This trade token could therefore date from between 1647 to 1683. Obverse: The Mercer's Arms Obverse l…
