Description: | A conical lead weight from a stratified Roman site. The weight has a hole from the top going through to the base that varies in width and is off-centre. Originally this object was identified as a plumb-bob but the perforation is not central and the object would have swing unevenly, so it is suggested that this is not a plumb-bob but a weight possibly used in the weighing of goods. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
