Archaeological description
Dabîca and Angelescu 2014–17: Pond de plumb rotund unifață. 76,00 g; 4,4 × 0,6 cm. Neclar. Pondul nu are niciun alt element care să permită determinarea. Având în vedere că are o greutate de 76,00 g, ar putea să reprezinte, la fel de bine, o optime de mină (raportată la o mină de 620 g) sau 3 uncii, ceea ce face dificilă încadrarea lui cronologică.
