Object type: WINDOW GLASS
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of Roman window glass with one original edge. A translucent pale greyish green in colour, both faces are matt but one is much rougher than the other. (This is caused by blowing a cylinder, cutting it up one side and allowing it to flatten onto a sand bed). 37.5 mm long (parallel to the original edge) and 19 mm wide, and just over 5 mm thick. The original edge is rounded, but slopes much more gently to the smoother face.

Broad period: ROMAN

Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of cast window glass. Clear glass with many small air bubbles, it has a matt finish on one surface due to a blown cylinder being laid on sand and then cut and unrolled to form a flat pane. The other face is smoother with many fine scratches. Two edges are original and two are broken.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Squarish fragment of window glass, just under 2 mm thick. The surface is lost and the glass is iridescent on both faces. Although the glass is not post-medieval, it is hard to put a precise date on it; it is probably either Roman or medieval.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Description: Tubular whistle made from sheet silver. The silver is bent into a tube, with a longitudinal seam; it flares slightly from one end to the other. The narrower end was about 5mm in diameter and is now squashed flat and broken across; the wider end, about 6mm in diameter, has been cut into four lobes which are pushed slightly inwards to form a complete end to the whistle. It is decorated and reinforced by two encircling silver collars decorated with two grooves and three ridges, both probably soldered on. One of these triple-strand collars is off centre towards the wider…

Description: Small silver hawking whistle. It is tubular, flaring from an open D-shaped mouthpiece to a closed, convex end. A D-shaped sound hole has been cut out of the front, with neat filing on the curved edge. There is a maker's mark above the sound hole, probably reading ED within a shield-shaped cartouche; this is the right way up when the whistle is viewed from the front, mouthpiece uppermost. A circular wire loop has been soldered to the reverse, with a silver wire ring surviving in the loop; the ring is made of circular wire with the ends soldered …

Description: Post-medieval silver bosun's or boatswain's whistle, essentially a narrow tube with cast three-dimensional decoration. One end is complete (the mouthpiece), decorated with a collar of two encircling bands with ribbing in between. There is a second similar collar about halfway along, which is joined to the scrolling tail of a three-dimensional fish or dolphin. The tail is also decorated with ribbing between raised lines, and is divided from the body by projecting elements, perhaps fins. There is scrolly relief decoration on the fish's body, a…

Lead object, probably a weight. It is roughly circular and plano-convex, and looks very like a spindle whorl except that it is unperforated. There is a 5 mm deep circular dimple (diameter 4 mm) in the centre of the flat base. The base measures 23 x 20 mm and the weight is 10 mm tall. It weighs 25.46g (0.85 oz).

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Standing lead weight with flattened perforated top. The base is circular, 14 mm in diameter, and has a central depression 5 mm in diameter and 18.5 mm deep. The weight is cylindrical for about half its length, and then tapers and flattens to 8 x 4 mm. Here it has a 3 mm diameter circular perforation. Although this weight could have been hung from a steelyard (giving a variable weight) it could also have been used on its own; it wouldn't have been in a trader's interest to use it, though, as even today it is just over weight at 29.29g (1.01 oz).

Irregular lead weight, a rough truncated cone in shape, which has a U-shaped iron loop in the middle of the larger face. It weighs 39.26g. Weights with iron or copper-alloy loops may be Roman; biconical ones certainly are, but these more irregular shapes could possibly be of other dates too.

Thick lead disc with raised border on either face. On one face the border has at least three and perhaps four transverse grooves, deep ones at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and a shallow one at 3 o'clock; there may be a very shallow and broad one at 9 o'clock. Possibly a trade weight, although at 59.48g (2.05 oz) it seems unlikely as it is overweight for 2 oz. Undatable.

Unusual lead trade weight. Although it is circular and stamped on one face with a crown, the reverse has some unusual features. The circle is 23 mm in diameter and 6 mm thick with a bevelled edge on the reverse. In the middle of the reverse is a short projecting lug with a burred-over end; one edge of this burred-over end projects out to the edge of the circle. The crown on the front is, I think, of the medieval type with a band around the head, a high central ornament and two lower side ornaments, but it is tall and thin and the details are blurred. The weight weighs 26.4g, which…

Copper-alloy disc, 3 mm thick and imperfectly circular (17-18 mm diameter). On one face are three off-centre dots; on the other are two engraved lines perhaps making up the letter L. It weighs 6.36g, which is 0.22 oz - close to a quarter of an ounce. It is therefore possibly a quarter-ounce weight, but has no official markings. The markings it does have are not obviously those for a quarter-ounce.
