Record ID: SF7243
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Iron arrowhead. Although it was probably originally socketed, the socket is now missing leaving only a relatively long solid tapering cylindrical neck below the blade. This neck is 10 mm in diameter at its lowest surviving point. The blade has straight sides and may originally have had small barbs as the lower corners are also incomplete. The blade is a pointed oval in cross-section, 5.5 mm thick at most, and is a maximum of 14 mm wide. The total surviving length is 45 mm; the blade makes up 28 mm of this.

Iron and copper alloy object, probably a copper-alloy mend from an iron vessel. The copper alloy forms a sheath, wrapping right around two faces of the rectangular-section iron fragment and coming a little way down a third (wide) face. At first sight it looks like a rim mend (cf. Egan 1998 fig. 135) but the wider faces are not curved along their length - instead, the complete shorter face is curved. It seems therefore more likely to be the flat handle of an iron skillet which has been largely encased (all apart from perhaps the bottom face) in copper alloy, and with one long side no…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Mystery object made of iron and also probably of copper alloy. As far as can be seen, the object consists of a circular-section iron rod, flattened and widened in the centre, bent into a U shape. On the outer curve of the U is some smooth greenish metal, perhaps an elongated copper-alloy plate, with a blob of iron in the centre which may be the remains of a rivet holding the copper alloy on. Although both ends of the iron rod are broken, the most complete tapers to 5 mm in diameter; the centre of the U has expanded to 11 mm wide and 3 mm thick. This is perhaps similar to one from …

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Iron arrowhead; corroded; base of socket and side and tip of blade damaged; sub-triangular blade; straight bottom edge, slight inward curvature at 'wings' (though no obvious barbs); central spine runs length of blade to tip; elongated narrow socket 57mm in length with a maximum diameter of 11.5mm; this belongs to Jessop's 'socketed with compact cutting blade'. Examples with sub-triangular heads are considered a multi-purpose form with a long period of usage spanning the 11th to the 15th century.
