Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-circular disc-like lead alloy object, probably a vessel repair ('pot-mend') of Roman to medieval date. The vessel mend is crudely made with the remains of a shank on one side - the opposing side is pitted and uneven. These objects are very hard to date without contextual information. Suggested date: AD 43-1500. For comparison see NLM-61DCBD. The diameter is 20mm and the weight 20.38g. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. The lack of any vessel material left in the groove means they cannot be dat…

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A glass bead possibly of unknown period possibly Early Medieval but more likely modern, cylindrical or drum-shaped formed from transparent yellow glass with a dull yellow collar around either end. It may well be a reticella bead made up of panels of twisted cable laid onto the surface of the bead as there are blue and red rods around the edge around the centre. Beads are very difficult to date as they do not change a great deal upto the modern day hence the attribution. The diameter is 7mm, the length is 8mm, the width is 7mm and the weight 0.57g.

A penannular ring of cast copper alloy, possibly an ear ring of unknown date. The ring is decorated with opposing incised lines. Objects of similar shape are quite common finds from Roman contexts and are usually interpreted as earrings (Allason-Jones "Ear-Rings in Roman Britain"; this is interpreted as Type 1 common from 1st to the 4th century). Similar objects have, however, also been found from later, Early Medieval contexts, where they are interpreted as finger rings or earrings (Rogers "Anglian and other finds from Fishergate" pages 1370-1371, inc fig 668, artefacts 5411-5413).
