Resumen en inglés

This paper studies the metrological characteristics of a series of balance weights recovered at Danebury hillfort (Stockbridge, Hampshire). It is based on the use of 3D‐digitalization to virtually reconstruct broken weights and statistical analysis to approach their metrology. The results of this investigation suggests the use of two weighing units during the Late Iron Age at Danebury, one of 309 g and another of 257.7 g. The comparison of the weighing metrology inferred with currency bars found on the settlement and elsewhere suggests that a complex practice of weighing and counting linked the use of weights and iron bars.< Leer menos
