Description: | A pair of oolitic limestone perforated objects probably used as fishing net weights. The perforations are probably too small for them to have functioned as loom weights and their shapes too irregular for them to have been spindle whorls. The underside of the objects have patterns of wear suggesting the string that passed through them was knotted underneath and attatched to a horizontal string for connection to other weights further along the net. The weights have been found in association with other Roman objects and may be of Roman date themselves.
They measure 62.11 x 45.64 x 25.97mm (76.67g) and 56.81 x 39.33 x 20.02mm (40.09g). | Subjects: | net | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Davey, John - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
