Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A circular lead spindle whorl. The spindle whorl is plano-convex and undecorated. The central perforation for the spindle is approximately 9.8 mm in diamater. It measures 32.06 mm in diameter, 9.5 mm thick and weighs 43.1 grams. It is plain and undecorated.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A roughly circular lead spindle whorl from a stratified Roman site. The object was originally identified as a loom weight but its size and the shape and size of the central perforation suggests a heavy spindle whorl rather than a loom weight. The weight measures 37.52mm diameter with the perforation measuring 9.46mm in diameter, 14.41mm thick and weighs 104.3gms.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A conical lead weight from a stratified Roman site. The weight has a hole from the top going through to the base that varies in width and is off-centre. Originally this object was identified as a plumb-bob but the perforation is not central and the object would have swing unevenly, so it is suggested that this is not a plumb-bob but a weight possibly used in the weighing of goods.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-oval lead plug/mend for the repair of a damaged vessel. The larger element is flat; the smaller one above the groove is slightly convex. The larger element extends beyond the groove in one direction. In the absence of any diagnostic pottery surviving within the groove the mend is difficult to date. However, given the large number of Roman finds made in the vicinity such a date is suggested.
