Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of lead alloy casting waste of uncertain date. The object is sub-oval in plan and is flat. One surface is smooth and worn while the opposite face has a raised ridge, possibly a casting seem. Dimensions: 30mm in length, 25mm in width, 5mm thick, 14.4g Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. As casting waste represents re-usable metal, it was often retained and regularly turns up in founder's hoards. It can however also be found in isolation. The object has a dark grey patina suggesting a post-medieval date is probable.

A misshapen cast lead cap for a powder measures of post-Medieval date (1600-1700). The cap was used for measuring a charge of gunpowder. It is squashed and misshapen possibly due to damage within the plough soil. Originally, the open end would have been circular or perhaps oval in plan. The sides tapered to the oval base. The integral loops for attachment at the base of the object are missing. On each side a pronounced casting seem is visible. The object has a light grey-brown patina. The loops enabled the cap to be attached separately to the bandolier (belt) of the wearer so that …
