An lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is circular in plan and is D-shaped in cross-section. The flat face is rough and uneven with no visible pitting. Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Post-Medieval date is likely. The object may have functioned as a palm guard however there are no diagnostic features. Palm guards were for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.

One a small flake waste removed from the lower part of the nodule with some cortex (piece 1), and another small flake with more cortex remaining on the back but with evidence of fine edge damage and smoothing on the flint interior edge probably from use (piece 2). Piece 1: 12mm in length, 12mm in width, 3.5mm thick, 0.55g Piece 2: 18mm in length, 13mm in width, 5mm thick, 1.50g Two pieces of flint which look like very rough waste, (piece 3 & 4) with evidence of small narrow flake scars having previously come from thi…

Record ID: LVPL-77D1A1
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint flake with broad striking platform and prominent bulb of percussion and bulbar scar, suggesting removal from a large flint nodule with a hard hammer such as a pebble. The flint is good quality and may most likely be of river gravel origin. The flake has been broken laterally and the irregular damage along the upper left hand side may be natural post-depositional damage rather than through use, although the latter is not impossible particularly if the lateral break to the flake was deliberate, although there is no way of knowing whether this was the case. This is dis…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic implement of prehistoric date. The object is triangular in plan and is a light creamy brown colour. Ron Cowell, Curator of Prehistoric Archaeology, Museum of Liverpool notes: Triangular piece of miscellaneous-type flint I haven't seen much of in the region. There is some possible working around the thinner butt end, with a vertical break on the reverse side removing where the bulb of percussion may have been. There are some longitudinal fine scars along the right hand side, although difficult to tell whether these were put on before the piece was removed from the nodule or…

Object type: PIPE (SMOKING)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Warrington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of the stem of a clay pipe of post-medieval date. The object is tubular and is circular in cross-section. A central hole, with an internal diameter of 3mm, runs through the length of the object. Each end of the object terminates with a break. Dimensions: 7mm - width of stem, 3mm - diameter of hole, 23mm in length, 2.10g. Clay tobacco pipe stems are very difficult to date accuratly without accompanying makers mark or bowl. the internal diameter of the hole at 3mm converts to about 7/64" which would suggest that it is a late 17th to early 18th century stem.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large lead alloy weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and has a central circular perforation and raised rim. The perforation has an internal diameter of 12mm. Each face is undecorated. Dimensions: 61mm in diameter, 15mm thick, 420g. The dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were probably mostly used as net weights, loom weights.
