Object type: POWDER FLASK
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A half-rounded lead vessel, probably a post-medieval powder flask. The flask has lip which steps out from the vessel wall. This object was found along with six lead bullets (LIN-6A7411) and a metal badge that probably refers to the regiment (LIN-6ACA37). The finder suggests that this site was a rifle range for the Loyal Lincolnshire Yeomanry (1794-1828). Peter Hart kindly suggests that this could be a liner for a cartridge box. The cartridges would be paper wrapped in a cylindrical form and contain the powder change and the bullet.
