Circular lead weight or gaming piece. Circular possible weight or gaming piece which has a raised edge. It is decorated by 3 concentric circles, the central one being filled in. The back is plain but has some scratch marks and chips probably due to wear. Its function is unclear as although it appears decorative there is no obvious method of attachment. It could possibly be a gaming token or a weight.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible lid or cap made of lead, probably Roman. The top of the object is circular in plan and there is a raised edge. Inside the raised edge, in relief, is an animal, possibly a cockerel. On the back the edges have folded in on themselves so they would no longer fit as a lid.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hartlepool
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Sub-circular lead token, probably medieval. It has been mis-struck as the design is not central. It has writing on both sides which appears to be in the cyrillic alphabet which suggests it comes from around Russia. It is probably a trader's token and this would explain how it was found in England as Hartlepool was a trading port. The crossed keys design is used as the symbol of St. Peter, the gatekeeper of heaven for the Catholic faith. This could indicate that the company who made this token wanted to be associated with religion.

Lead spindle whorl which has been cast, dating to the Medieval period. The spindle whorl is sub-circular in plan. It is biconical with an equatorial ridge and a central perforation which is set transversely. Both faces are decorated with different patterns. One face is split into sections by lines running from the central perforation to the ridge. Inside each section is a raised dot. The other face is more worn and the decoration is not as clear. It consists of some dots and possible lines but that is all that can be seen.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead bi-conical spindle whorl with a central circular perforation. It is circular in plan although there are some bits of corrosion attached to the edges. It is worn so the decoration cannot be seen very clearly. It has been decorated on both sides in relief with zig-zag lines and dots. Spindle whorls are hard to date precisely as they were used for a long period of time. Therefore this find has been dated broadly to the Medieval period.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Rolled lead sheet which has formed a pencil/stylus type object. The lead has been rolled to form a cylindrical shape with a pointed end. The two edges can be seen where they haven't quite met, leaving a groove. The pencil has been bent in the middle. This is a proto-pencil dating to the late medieval period which could have been used for marking paper or cloth.

Lead token or weight. Circular in plan it is bun-shaped, giving a D-shape in cross section. The top surface is decorated with a 6 petalled flower. It is most likely to date to the Medieval or early Post-Medieval period. These types of weight have not been catalogued into a typology and so a more precise date cannot be given.

Lead trapezium shaped weight. The surfaces are not smooth- probably due to corrosion and wear. All the edges and corners are rounded. No typology has been made of weights so they are very difficult to date precisely. This is most likely to date to the Medieval or Post-Medieval periods.
