A complete hollow gold bead of uncertain dating, probably Post Medieval to Modern (AD 1800 to AD 1900). The bead is spherical. Several small sub triangular depressions are present around the mid point, possibly teeth marks. A circular perforation, with an internal diameter of 1.3 mm is present top and bottom.  It has a diameter of 7.1 mm and is 7.0 mm long. It weighs 0.6 g. The bead is a mid yellow colour, with an even patina. The bead is non-diagnostic for earlier periods, so it can not be proved to be older than 300 years. Therefore it falls outside of the requirements of th…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead or lead alloy steelyard weight, of probable Roman dating (1st to 2nd Century AD) but could be of later dating (2nd Century to 19th Century AD). The weight is biconical in shape. A vertical suspension hole is present in the centre of the weight. A circular recess is present at the centre of the base. It measures 31.8 mm tall, with a maximum diameter of 46.9 mm. It weighs 334.9g (11.81 oz). The weight is a light grey to off white colour, with an even surface patina. Biconical weights are a functional artefact, as such, there is little typological change over …
