Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A re-shaped piece of a samian vessel, probably re-used as a spindle whorl dating to the second or third century AD. Very abraded and burnt cup base, no slip remains apart from in the groove at the top of the foot-ring; possibly a Dr27 foot/base but really too worn to be certain. Only half survives, apparently broken across a ?drilled central hole, suggesting this base was shaped and re-used as a spindle whorl (sherd ID no 230) SAMCG

Object type: LID
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large stone disc, possibly a pot base or lid dating from the Roman to the post medieval period. The disc measures 17.5cm in diameter and is perforated in the centre and burnt on one face and part of the circumference. Ruth Shaffrey notes that 'The type of burning present on this disc (blackening) is caused by direct exposure to flames (rather than just extreme heat) and it seems likely that this was used as a pot base, or more likely a pot lid (the perforation allowing for the release of some steam from a cooking vessel). Discs, of both small counter size, and larger pot base/lid si…
