Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible buckle fragment. A part of what is taken to be the cast spacer plate from a buckle of composite construction, retaining the inner edge of a small single loop and a prong – presumably one of a pair. The lack of a hole for the pin might suggest that the spacer has broken across that aperture or may hint that the spacer was part of a strap end rather than a buckle. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450 Length: 19.1mm, Width: 8.1mm, Thickness (at loop): 3mm, Weight: 1.47gms

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron and copper alloy penknife fragment. Two iron blades and possibly another implement for a folding knife, retained between fragmentary flat plain copper alloy side plates of thickness 0.7mm by long rivets – whether one or two is now uncertain. A flat oval plate with faint traces of cross-hatching marks the end of the knife handle. Side plates of bone or ivory would have been secured outside the copper plates which remain and would have butted up to the end plate. The object has been exploded by the expansion of its corroding iron blades. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-190…

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy probable vessel fragment. Cast plano-convex section fragment from a cauldron leg with a pronounced moulded rib on its outer side, flat behind. Raggedly broken at both ends of its short remaining extent. This might suggest multiple casting flaws, the vigorous dismantling of an object for recycling, or recurrent plough-strike damage - pot legs are robust objects and this pattern of breakage is unusual. So too, for a cauldron leg, is the lack of sooting - though black spots were observed on the magnified views achieved during image processing, so this could have been part of …

Object type: CAME
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead window came fragment. A short length of cast H-section window came with a trapped fragment of dark degraded glass at one end on one side. Patinated. This came would have permitted the setting of two small adjacent panes. The glass is reverting to its constituent ingredients, which is a feature of a medieval ‘forest’ glass made using potash, rather than the more robust soda glasses of earlier and later times. The width of the slot suggests a thickness of c.2.5mm for the panes. The reporting of window came of medieval date among field finds is remarkably rare. Suggested …

Copper alloy vessel repair patch. A twice sharply folded sub-rectangular sheet metal patch of thickness 0.6mm, used to repair a split in the wall of a wooden vessel of an estimated diameter exceeding 110mm. The flanges or flaps formed by the second folding of the patch are now worn and tattered. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700 Length: 44.4mm, Width: 18.3mm, Thickness (overall): 3.6mm

Copper alloy vessel fragment. Cast vessel leg with a single central longitudinal rib on its outer side and with a flat to slightly concave back. Tapered slightly towards a flat base; broken raggedly across the top. There is only a slight trace of sooting on the ribbed side, which might suggest this object to have been detached from an item of formal tableware such as a ewer rather than from a cauldron. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1350 Length: 50.9mm, Width: 29mm, Thickness: 8.1mm, Weight: 48.37gms

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake of suggested middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age date c. 3300-1000 BC.  The secondary flake is elongated and sub-triangular in plan and cross-section; a small section of cortex surviving at the distal edge which has a chip at the terminal with fresh breaks suggesting more recent damage. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a pronounced bulb of percussion and raised rippling suggested hard hammer working. The dorsal surface has five removal scars with crude removals at the proximal end, possibly damage, but some finer …
