Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Cast lead spindle whorl. No decoration. The perforation is 11 mm diameter. It has been noted 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). This example weighs 31.7 grams, so it seems likely that it would have been used to spin a heavy material such as wool. The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult. However, Egan (1998, page 256) has argued that there was an apparent lack o…

Cast copper alloy post-medieval (Georgian) sub-rectangular shoe buckle with rounded ends and a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The loop chape is broken although would have had two internal spikes and the pitchfork tongue is present. Shoe buckles increased in size after 1720 and after 1770 the fixing arrangements became more elaborate with a double looped chape, therefore it is probable that this example dates between 1720 and 1770.

They may have been produced as a form of working class low denomination currency associated with rural areas (Bailey 2000 pages 13-14). Alternative uses may have been for payment of casual workers or gambling (ibid. page 14).

Cast copper alloy brooch buckle. The ring section is thick and circular. One half of the ring depicts twisted ridges in relief and the other half is smooth and rounded. The division between the two halves is very clear cut and it would seem therefore that there would have been an intentional way to wear the item. The pin is large with a length of 36mm and its thickness is 4mm. The head of the pin is largely worn. The pin is blunt and knobbled and due to its thick section the object would be too large to function as a brooch but as a buckle in the style of a brooch. There is what…

Cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch. A mature example of a trumpet brooch, early 2nd century AD in date. The bow has decoration at its middle consisting of upper and lower units sprouting leaves which enwrap the centre knob from above and below-known as the acanthus. The brooch would have had a chain loop inserted into the axial bar which is now missing. Decoration is applied to the upper and lower mid-bow flanges though this is fairly worn. The underface of the foot knob is recessed which Hattatt explains is to accommodate enamel (1982 page 107), although this is now missing.…

Denarius of Marcus Antonius minted in the east 32-31 BC. Augustus convinced the Roman world (wrongly) that Antonius' coins were made of base silver so examples like this remained in circulation until about AD 230.

Although this coin was struck in the late 30s BC, coins of its type stayed in circulation until the 3rd century AD when they are still being hoarded.

Cast lead stud/disc. Irregular in form. Front face demonstrates a central pellet in relief with a surrounding circular form. The reverse is plain. Possibly a miss-cast token. The site of recovery of the object could suggest however that this object is Roman in date and could therefore be a lead pot mend. These were used to hold broken vessels together before glue. A hole would be drilled into a broken vessel along the line of the break and then molten lead poured through which would harden on cooling (Cuddeford 1994 page 51).
