Description: | Two Late Saxon to medieval weights in soft and pale grey lead. Diameters 18 and 12mm. Thicknesses 9.5 and 7.5mm. Weighing 24.31 and 7.68g. With the heavier there is no correlation with either the troy or avoirdupois systems, but it is very close to the postulated Scandinavian (Viking period) unit of 24.4g (Kruse 1992, 86-7). The lighter example weighs 0.2465 ounce troy, so may be for ΒΌ ounce. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
