County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric flint retouched flake, probably of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date The flake is complete (with a length of 25.1mm, a width of 21.8mm, a thickness of 6.4mm and a weight of 2.6g). The retouch is neatly worked on a small distal area of one side (9mm long), with an area of utilisation on the proximal part of the same side. Both the retouch and utilisation are on the ventral surface of the flake. The dorsal surface displays evidence of core-preparation abutting the striking platform. The flake is made on grey, unpatinated flint.

Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead steelyard weight of uncertain date The lead weight is of irregular biconical form and is complete with a copper alloy suspension loop at both ends (with a length of 36.0mm and internal loop diameters of 4 - 5mm). One of the end loops contains iron corrosion. The weight is widest around its midsection (with a maximum diameter of 22.6mm) and is undecorated. The weight has few diagnostic features and weighs 35.0g which does not closely correspond to Roman period weighing systems. 35.0 grams roughly equates to a 1¼ ounce weight in both modern (1.235oz) and medieval Avoirdupois s…
