A piece of cast lead alloy slag of unclear date, 11th-18th century AD. This object is a piece of slag, formed when molten lead fell during the casting process onto a firmer surface. The metal dripped down on one side and the main body of the item has formed from several drops landing on top of each other. Lead was a common metal throughout the Medieval and early Post Medieval period and was used for many items, from tokens and gaming pieces to seal matrices, pilgrim badges, and other religious items. This piece of slag was most likely lost during the casting process; lead is eas…

Iron Age to Post Medieval bloomery slag. It is weakly magnetic suggesting it still has a reasonably high iron content, suggestive of the more inefficient recovery rate of the Early Medieval and early Medieval. Bloomeries were used for the production of iron until the 1700s in the North West of England of some other areas, but by and large they were being superseded by the more efficient blast furnaces by the 1500s. Dates to between c800 and c1700 AD. The length is 18mm, the width is 17mm, thickness 9mm, and the weight 6.02g.
