Description

4 clay loomweights

three from the Royal Road and one from the Road Trials. One has an excavation number

the others do not. The one with the excavation number is spherical

broken in half

and with holes placed at 180 degrees of the loomweight. The loomweight from RT is conoid/lentoid in shape

and fully preserved. Of the other two

one has wide holes and a lentoid/conoid shape

while the other is smaller and preserves one hole intact

and traces of two other indents to the side of the loomweight

which potentially could have been two other holes (totalling to three holes in that loomweight).
