Description: | A cast lead die. The die is a sub-cuboid, with the '1' and '6' faces being square and the others are rectangular in plan. The surface of each face has the numbers formed by conical shaped cells. The surface of the die has a well developed beige patina. It measures mm by 18.6mm by 18.35mm by 15.33mm. It weighs 52.8g.The die has the Roman numbering system, which has the spots on opposing sides adding to seven. This numbering system was used from the Roman period through to the present day (Ottaway, P. and Rogers, N. 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York York Archaeological Trust and CBA p. 2949). The condition of the surface of the die may suggest it dates to the Roman or early Post Medieval period.
