A Roman to Post-Medieval large, pyramid-shaped lead weight, probably a spindle whorl. Length: 50.3mm, width at widest end: 38.4mm, width and narrow end: 11.8mm, weight: 301.9g. It has been pointed out that the weight of a spindle whorl is demonstrative of the thickness of yarn produced, with lighter spindle whorls (3 - 5 grams) being used for spinning cotton and the heavier ones (30 - 35 grams) for spinning wool (Margeson 1993, page 184). It therefore seems likely that this heavy example was used for spinning wool. The dating of unstratified Spindle whorls is very difficult. However, E…
