Weight

Remnants of an unidentified lead weight. At Birka five main kinds of weights were found: bipolar, polyhedral, cylindrical, semi-spherical and conical. In addition to these there are a number of Viking Age types which have not been found at Birka, such as cubic weights. Svarta Jorden, Birka, Adelsö Parish, Uppland.
