Lead weights, especially those possibly used as spindle whorls or loom weights, are notoriously difficult to date out of context since very similar designs were in use from the Roman period through to the early Post Medieval era. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
