Lead spindle whorl, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast biconical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 10mm.

Lead powder flask cap. A small cylindrical vessel with thickened rim, now squashed closed. Patinated. This is the cap from a powder flask. A powder flask might be used singly by a sportsman or might be carried on a bandolier as one of the ‘twelve apostles’ to equip a musketeer, and contained a measured charge. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700 Width: 32.1mm, Height: 18.3mm, Thickness (overall at base): 18.4mm, Weight: 23.78gms

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead alloy possible spoon fragment. A scrap of cast lead alloy with one flat face, one with a triangular chevroned ridge, and broken on all its edges. The ridged side is here interpreted as the reinforcement of the meeting of stem and bowl. A grey tint may suggest a relatively recent date for the object while a partly delaminated appearance is typical of homemade spoons.

Copper alloy probable purse bar fragment. A cast D-section bar with a double collar separating bar from a small pointed ridged and possibly zoomorphic terminal (cf. Williams Class A), and with a U-shaped drilled loop projecting from its flat side. If the identification were sustained this would have been an unusually light and dainty purse.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object fragment, possibly part of a strap fitting. A cast bar, now part-melted, to which are attached the expanded ends of a small integrally cast spool-shaped object of length 14.2mm with expanded round ends with a space 9.4mm wide between bar and spool. A function entailing the constraint of a light strap might explain this form. The melting of the object is unlikely to have come about accidentally. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Length: 28.1mm, Width: 15.4mm, Thickness (bar): 6.3mm, Weight: 6.34gms

Ceramic building material. Buff reduced fabric with occasional calcareous inclusions [rock] to length 4mm. Handmade roof tile fragment with one straight edge, and with the imprints of a sanded surface on its underside where the green or unfired tile was laid, and either glaze or vitrification traces on the smoothed upper surface. The glaze might suggest this to be part of a ridge tile or roof furniture, which were often glazed; the object is thinner than a plain ceramic roof tile.

Copper alloy bell.

Traces of gilding appear. Probably for attachment to clothing, or even a jester’s hat given this is an unusually massy example (cf. Egan and Prtichard 1991, fig. 219).

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an uneven surface with off-centre dimple and a flat base; perhaps cast in an open mould suggesting the flat side to have been uppermost at the time of fabrication. Opposed pairs of nicks appear on the flat side. The metal retains a grey tint suggesting its relatively recent date. Though a weight close to this mass was reported from the London waterfront (Egan 1998, table 15) though it was not thought to respect any prevailing standard. This object might alternatively represent one and a half averdepois ounces, perhaps as a homemade weight for the k…

Copper alloy bell. Cast one-piece spherical animal bell, with opposed blowholes in its upper hemisphere and opposed sounding holes linked by a slot in the lower. Incised letters next to the slot may be a maker’s or owner’s mark, possibly reading I G. A pronounced circumferential rib marks the meeting of the two halves; the upper part is surmounted by a rectangular loop. Abraded, with loss of half the lower hemisphere and the clapper.

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an uneven upper surface on which appear straight lines moulded in bold relief. The lines may represent two separate arrowhead forms or perhaps an untidy monogram including letter forms resembling M and V. On the base – or the top as cast in an open mould - there is a central dimple with a crudely incised triangle around it. Patinated. The combination of relief features, dimple and incised base recur in medieval London (e.g. Egan 1998 fig. 233 no. 993, see also no. 990) where they may respect a medieval standard (ibid. table 15), and were poss…

Copper alloy possible buckle fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A small cast loop with a markedly projecting lip in the zoomorphic form of a pointed beast head with prominent sub-triangular eyes or ears upstanding on top and with a grooved or hollowed underside; the putative strap bar is absent. The reddish tint of the metal is a feature often associated with Anglo-Scandinavian metalwork.
