Title
A lead conical weight. Undiagnostic. Roman to post Medieval.
Description
English: A conical lead weight with a circular perforation through a flattened section at the top. These weights are fairly undiagnostic. Helen Geake writes: "It is very difficult to establish hard and fast rules with lead weights, as we have little material from excavated contexts to compare. The function of lead weights would have varied, from spindle whorls to fishing weights to trade weights." The weight is 31mm high and 22.8mm in diameter around the base. It weighs 57.9gm.
