Description: | Cubical bone die with one corner missing, apparently an old break. The arrangement of the single ring-and-dots accords with D. Brown's normal numbering system Type Ai ( Biddle, M. Winchester (1990), 692-4, fig. 191), and with Potter's Type 13 (The Medieval Household (1998), 290). A rather small example (7.2mm³ - 7.4mm³), it is not closely datable but is more likely to be medieval (11th - 15th century) than later in view of the use of single ring-and-dots. Two very similar dice have been excavated in Norwich (Norwich Households nos. 1767-8), from a 15th - early 16th century context at numbers 182-188 St George's Street (HER 284) and from a late 17th-century layer at the Shirehall car park, Market Avenue (HER 150).
