Description: | LeadWeight. Tubular weight made from rolling cast lead sheet. This technique appears on Early Medieval net weights, where such weights were attached to the selvedge of nets used for fishing and wildfowling. The small size of this example is atypical; it might have served as a line weight. The date range is accordingly broad. Whether attached to line or net, this object was probably discarded or lost while still attached. Suggested date: Early Medieval to Medieval, 800-1500. Length: 24.2mm, Width: 12.3mm, Thickness (of sheet): 2.25mm, Weight (soil filled): 12.74gms.
