Copper alloy tweezers that have been broken in antiquity resulting in only the end of one arm surviving. This has a narrow rectangular cross-section arm which gently expands to a triangular base that is bent inward slightly. Although a roman date is a distinct possibility, a medieval date cannot be ruled out.

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete probable casting jet from copper casting, of uncertain date, c.2350 BC-AD 1800. The casting jet is conical in shape. The top surface is sub oval in shape, with a rounded edge, and a concaved surface. Below this, the jet narrows to a point, with slightly facetted sides. It measures 39 mm in length, 29 mm wide and 33 mm thick. It weighs 39.61 g. The casting jet is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. For similar examples, see WMI…

Object type: NET SINKER
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead net sinker or line weight of unknown date, 400 BC - AD 1800. It is circular in cross-section and oval in profile with tapering ends and a circular perforation of 3.6mm diameter. It has a overlapping longitudinal seam. Measurements are; length 30.0mm, maximum diameter 12.9mm and weight 20.37g. This weight is probably a type that would have been positioned around the edge of a net, probably used for fishing or netting birds, to hold it taut. The dating of such weights is difficult as their design and method of manufacture remained unchanged for a con…

Object type: PIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crudely cast, lead alloy artefact of uncertain date, possibly the head of a Medieval pin, but more likely to be a counterweight from a doll with closing eyes. It consists of a circular head, 13.6mm in diameter and 6.9mm thick, together with a short section of hollow shaft, oval in section. There is no decoration. The lead has a deep cream coloured patina. The total length of the artefact is 16.7mm; the weight is 8.54g.

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A white semi-opaque glass bead of Iron Age to Modern date (about 400 BC - AD 1900). It is globular and slightly asymmetrical. Measurements are; diameter 9.4mm, length 6.5mm and weight 0.75g.  The central hole has a diameter of 2.3mm. Owing to the lack of diagnostic features and contextual evidence it is very difficult to accurately date simple beads such as this example, because they were in use across a number of different periods.

An unidentified object which is a possible fragment from a lead vessel or pot of uncertain date. The fragment is irregular but broadly triangulat in shape and sub oval in plan. One surface is convex and the other slightly convex. It is slightly thicker at one end, with old and worn breaks on the non "rim" sides. The rim itself is thicker than the rest of the fragment suggesting that it comes from a curved vessel. The outer surface has a coarse surface with a grey coloration with occasional brown and lighter grey patches across the…

A fragment of a copper alloy object, possibly a locking arm of a Medieval double loop 'locking buckle' (c. AD 1350-1450). The object is 24.54mm high and has a sub-rectangular cross section. There is a break at the top. The object tapers from 4.45mm wide and 4.09mm thick near the break, to 2.84mm wide and 3.09mm thick near the bottom of the shaft, before expanding to a maximum 4.08mm wide and 5.48mm thick on the lozengiform foot or knop. The object has a largely dull, dark grey patina with some cream coloured sections and small patches of possible white metal coating. The…
