Description: | A worn, sub-circular cast lead plug for the repair of a damaged vessel. The plug has a groove where it was fitted to the wall of the broken object. The ?outer face of the plug has a convex centre. Such plugs were in use from at least the Roman period until the post-medieval period, and without the help of diagnostic elements are almost impossible to date. However, the attribution of a possible Roman date can be suggested, primarily due to the large amounts of Roman material found in the locale. | 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
