Description: | A worn, asymmetrical lead object, probably a plug for the repair of a damaged vessel. The plug has a groove where it was fitted to the wall of the broken object. Fragments of this metal vessel remain in the groove and appear to be ferrous. Both faces of the plug are quite heavily corroded. Such plugs were in use from at least the Roman period until the post-medieval period, and without the help of diagnostic elements are impossible to date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
