Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two flat lead fish with patterns of raised dots on the upper surface. One of the fish has two parallel vertical lines of dots between the body and the head area. The dots form a border round the edge of the body, with some in the central area. Another dot indicates the eye. The other fish is similar but the patterning is less distinct. The reverses are flat.

Object type: HAMMER
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron sledge hammer head with remains of wooden handle in situ. The hammer head is octagonal in section with one tapered, pointed end and one flat circular end. The ends are damaged, probably from use (the circular end extensively). The handle socket through the centre of the head is oval. The hammer head is broadest at this part and is waisted before flaring out again to form the circular end. On the surface of one side are a series of small square punch marks, apparently in a rough pattern that appears to read 10B. This type of hammer was used for ironworking.
