Copper alloy possible weight. Cast trapezoid flat-sided weight. The mass is near-equivalent to a single unit of 4.43gms as is thought to have governed silver bullion transactions in areas under Danish Viking control. Almost all the weights hitherto considered to relate to this system are made of lead, and most represent multiple units, though there is no reason why other materials could not be put to the same use. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 850-950 Length: 14.5mm, Width: 13.1mm, Thickness: 4.0mm, Weight: 4.38gms

Two copper alloy possible polyhedral weights. They are of polyhedral shape but faceted unevenly on all sides. Most of the faces have a pattern of parallel lines on them. Overall they have an even green patina, the incised lines have orange soil in them. They have a sheen and if made of lead this would be unusual, it is suspected though because of the weight that it is a lead alloy but with a greater proportion of another metal in it, hence designation as copper alloy. The weights fall between both the Scandinavian and Dublin Viking unit weight sy…
