Circular, roughly flat piece of lead alloy with small pieces of flint embedded in it and an irregular, pitted surface. The piece is possibly casting waste (see also SUSS-ED5D06). Lead was used domestically for many items such as tokens and toys and also for repairs to pots etc from the Roman period onwards. It is 22.7mm by 20.3mm by 5.9mm thick and weighs 10.87 grams.

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Roughly circular, plano-convex piece of lead alloy with a slightly rough flat base and smooth, slightly domed, top. The piece is probably a drop of molton lead that has cooled on a relatively smooth surface. The shape and smoothness of the domed top suggests this cooled in contact with air rather than a mould. Another piece of potential casting waste was found near by (SUSS-ED43B3). Lead was used domestically for many items such as tokens and toys and also for repairs to pots etc from the Roman period onwards. It is 22.9mm by 21.3mm by 3.9mm thick and weighs 13.47 grams.

Two pierced stone water worn pebbles of unknown date or function. The two pebbles are of differing sizes but each have a single pierced hole which is perforated diagonally from one edge to the other. Both holes differ in size and do not seem to be drilled, in that there profile does not conform to the usual (egg-timer) shape. There also seems to be little wear on the holes. It has been suggested by the finder that they may be beads and this is a possibility, the discovery of them together also increases the likelihood of this idea. Pebble 1 measures 22.7mm length, 13.8mm width, is 1…
