Title
Early Medieval Weight from Winterton
Description
English: Lead

Weight. Cast rectangular weight with a stamped design in its upper surface: this comprises four bars with a pellet at each end, each bar being parallel to one of the edges of the weight. Patinated overall. The dots may each correlate to one sub-unit of circa 3.1gms. The mass of the object is close to that of a cylindrical weight from Flixborough (weighing 24.6gms), part of a group of which it is remarked 'four of the weights showed close correlation to the Anglo-Saxon, one to the Scandinavian, and two to the Dublin standard... There was some overlap with the weight of 24.6gms, where 8 x the Anglo-Saxon standard is equivalent to the Scandinavian system of truncated sphere weights in units of c.24gms' (Wastling, L.M. 2009, 422-3, in 'Lead and lead alloy mensuration weights', in Evans, D.H. and Loveluck, C., Life and Economy at Early Medieval Flixborough c. AD 600-1000, Excavations at Flixborough volume 2, Oxbow Books, Oxford and Oakville, pages 422-4). Suggested date: Early Medieval, 800-900.

Length: 19.5mm, Width: 19.0mm, Thickness: 7.2mm, Weight: 24.52gms.
