Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead or lead alloy weight, of probable Late Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1300 to AD 1800). The weight is cylindrial in plan, and sub circular in cross section. One end has been squashed together. The central hole has an internal diameter of 8.1 mm. Corrosion products and soil are still present inside the central perforation. It is a light to mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, probably caused by movement in the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of a significant proportion of the original surface. It measures 42.6 mm long, has a diame…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy object of uncertain function and date but possibly a strap end of medieval to modern date. The object is formed from two strips of tapering rectangular metal both with a rectangular cross section. At the narrower end on piece of metal is worn and broken and the other bends back on itself. The metal is a light brownish-green colour and is worn. The object is 48.1mm long, 5.8mm wide, 2.9mm thick and weighs 4g. Due to the lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to identify or date this find any more closely.

A pair of copper-alloy sub-triangular plates of unknown purpose or date. The plates have two coincident perforations, one close to the centre and the other near to one point. It is possible that the object is a strap-end; however, it may have served a different purpose.There is no decoration on any surface, but traces of a black coating can be observed on two of the surfaces.This type of coating is often seen on dress accessories and is sometimes referred to as lacquer (Buckles 1250-1800, Whitehead, 2003. p8). The degree of corrosion is extensive and suggests that the item is of s…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron chain links. Two oval chain links of wrought iron, of apparently rectangular section. Each link is narrowed by wear at its ends. The links are also slightly bowed, apparently in alternating directions which suggests this is a deliberate aspect of construction rather than damage arising from wear. Suggested date: Unknown, Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1200-1800. Length (both links): 107.61mm, Width: 33.4mm, Thickness: 5.6mm, Weight: 30.87gms

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular fragment of copper alloy casting waste, of uncertain dating, but possibly Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval (1400 - 1800 AD). The casting waste fragment consists of a sub rectangular sheet, with uneven, almost bubbly surfaces. It is sub rectangular in cross section. Two edges are smooth and unabraded, indicative of a fairly recent break. It is a mid grey colour, with a couple of areas which display a distinctive shiny sheer to it. This shiny sheer is suggestive that the copper alloy has a high tin content. The weight of the fragment is suggestive that lead …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two pieces of copper alloy industrial waste or slag, of probable Medieval dating (11th to 15th Century). 1: measures 53.9mm in length, 29.9mm wide and 10.7mm thick. It weighs 32.2 grams. 2: measures 31.0mm in length, 22.6mm wide and 25.7mm thick. It weighs 13.7 grams. Together both pieces weigh 45.9 grams. Both pieces are consistent with the waste produced as part of the copper smelting process, which did not significantly change from the Bronze Age through the Late Medieval period. However these fragments are more likely to be Medieval in date, as more Medieva…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy conical staff base fitting (possibly), of uncertain date. The object has two opposing rivet holes on the open end that may have been used to secure to fitting to the staff. Internally, the fitting has iron corrosion on one side, suggesting either the rivets were iron or that whatever was inserted into the fitting had an iron element. There are numerous scored vertical lines all over the outer body of the object although these are rough and uneven and may not be intentional design elements. One side of the fitting has suffered damage and an area is broken and …

Complete lead alloy weight of uncertain date. This crude weight is circular and flat. It is made of lead and has no decoration or marks. Its shape suggests it was used as a measure, and its pre-decimal weight of 1.02oz makes this likely. It has an off white patina. One side is smoother and flatter than the other. Its diameter is 26.7mm, its thickness is 6.2mm and it weighs 28.9g. A similar weight, PUBLIC-7E00A6 Weight, was found nearby.
