Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three fragments of possible whetstones, dating to the period c.AD 43-1700. Fragments 1 and 2 are possibly from the same artefact. It is not possible to suggest a narrower date range, however it should be noted that these fragments are all from a site with known Early Medieval activity.
Fragment 1 is broadly trapezoidal in plan with a break along its narrowest and widest sides. This break extends into the body from the narrowest edge and therefore some of the surface is missing. The stone is buff in colour and Stuart Ogilvey (geologist) states that it is a fine grained, siliceous sa…

Record ID: YORYM-EE08F5
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead weight of probable Roman date. The weight is tall and plano-convex in plan with a central rod of iron projecting from the base and apex. Both end of the rod have split terminals and were most probably used for suspension.
The metal has a mid whitish-brown colour and is worn. The weight is 24.8mm tall, 15.8mm in diameter and weighs 24.6g.
Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses and are hard to date precisely. However, it is likely that this example is Roman in date.
