A complete lead spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date circa AD 43-1650. The whorl is discoidal in shape and sub-rectangular in cross section.

No decoration is present on either surfaces, though there are small areas of pitting seen on both sides.  The whorl is a light grey colour with a slightly uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.  Measurements: Diameter: 32mm Thickness: 6.2mm Weig…

Object type: DIE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: City of Wolverhampton
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly uneven cast lead die of three-dimensional cuboid shape (14.4mm x 14.5mm; weight: 30.92g). Each side shows a number from 1-6 that have been incised as single dots to a depth of approximately 1mm. There is one deep cut/ damage mark on the side with 5 dots. The die is in a slightly worn but fair condition. It is difficult to date dice as they appear in all periods, but Mills suggests that the more conventional Roman dice were made of bone or lead (see Mills, 'Celtic & Roman Artefacts', 2000, page 113, Ref no RB356). However, many examples of excavated dice from Roman sit…
