| Title |
an early medieval weight |
||
| Description |
English: A conical lead-alloy globule, originally recorded as a weight dating to the Early Medieval period, but now thought to be a piece of Post Medieval buckshot. It is made from a globule of metal that has had 4 circular impressions made on it. The bottom has been flattened. Above the bottom of the circular impressions the object mostly has a light brown patina whereas below the bottom of the circles, it is light grey.
It is 8.87mm in diameter and 7.25mm high. It weighs 3.18gm. Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities database such as SWYOR-E0A6C4 and SWYOR-E809B3. Though sometimes recorded as Anglo-Scandinavian polyhedral weights, the number of similar finds makes it more likely that these are pellets fired from a gun, similar to grape shot but smaller, and of Post Medieval date. Compare examples of buckshot in Harding (2012) "Lead Shot of the English Civil War", for example, Plate 21. Buckshot was used for hunting throughout the Post Medieval period, as well as in warfare. |
