A complete cast lead alloy conical hanging weight with a narrow iron suspension loop running through it, of uncertain date. The iron wire does not protrude through the base like similar examples; therefore it is unclear whether the wire runs the length of the weight or if it simple loops through the top of the weight. It measures 27.91 mm in diameter, 28.64 mm high and weighs 105 grams. Because lead weights of this type were relatively easy to produce locally and were distributed throughout a wide period of time, they are difficult to date precisely. These types seem to date to b…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy spear probably dating to the Middle or Late Bronze Age (c. 1500-800 BC). The fragment consists of the tip of the spear blade, which is triangular in plan. The tip is slender with a pronounced middle rib which tapers to the edges in 'wings', creating a rounded lozenge-shaped cross section. The shaft opening is circular in shape on the underside and is completely filled with soil and other possible material. The metal is of a dark green colour, but there are areas of reddish brown corrosion and indication of chalky encrustation, presumably from t…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A perforated lead-alloy weight of unknown date. The object is sub-conical in shape, with a slightly domed upper surface and a flat bottom. It measures 21.48 in diameter, 7.17 mm thick and weighs 13.66 grams. The vertical hole in the centre measures 5.83 mm in diameter. The weight has no decoration on any surface. The metal is light grey in colour. Weights of simple design were cast easily throughout the Roman to post-Medieval periods; therefore, they are difficult to date precisely. Cf. PAS records: SWYOR-057922; SWYOR-61B660; SOM-64B0D8.

Broad period: UNKNOWN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy cylindrical weight with circular perforation, possibly a net weight, of uncertain date (c. 43-1800 AD). The surface is smooth and light grey. Lead alloy weights were easy to make and often manufactured locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely when found outside of secure archaeological context. It measures 15 mm long, 12.6 mm wide and weighs 10.95 grams. For similar objects recorded on the PAS database cf. WILT-0F35D2.

A very worn and clipped Medieval silver Three-halfpence of Elizabeth I (1558-1603); London mint; uncertain initial mark and date. Second Issue, c. 1561-1582. This coin has been pierced through the legend at 'SINE' on the obverse and in the middle of 'LONDON' on the reverse. Most of the detail and legends of the coin are missing due to extreme surface wear and damage; in addition to the damage, the circular punch and a small section of either clipped or torn coin further disfigure its surface. Cf. North 1991 Vol II, No. 2000.
