Description: | A corroded lead plug for the repair of a damaged vessel. The main element is sub square in shape with a broadly triangular depression on its upper surface. The plug has a groove where it was fitted to the wall of the broken vessel. Retained within it is a very small sherd of grey pottery, possibly Roman greyware, although too little to be diagnostic. Such plugs were in use from at least the Roman period until the post-medieval period, and without the presence of a diagnostic pottery sherd are almost impossible to date closely. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
