Description: | LeadMetal Working debris. Four fragments. Two are droplets of lead melt solidified on a flat surface. One is a small irregular fragment of cast lead sheet of thickness 4mm with a discoid hole of diameter circa 17mm cut in its centre. The last is a tubular or cylindrical fragment made of very fine solidified layered dribbles of lead, of length 23.8mm, which indicates an episode of fairly fine casting work, albeit possibly carried out in the ad hoc manner which the low melting point of lead permits. Suggested date: Unknown, 40-1800.Combined weight: 76.30gms.
