Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy strap end. It is probably a forked spacer. It has a knopped end with a collar at the base. The plate is circular, and has a rectangular projection at the base of the plate; this has an old break, which is where the fork would have been. The spacer is flat over all. It is in fair condition, with corrosion, and scratches along the plate. It measures 26.18 mm L x 5.17 mm W (at knop) x 13.99 DIA (of circular plate) x 2.54 mm TH and weighs 2.01 g. A similar strap end can be seen on the database LIN-8AE656

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy hooked strap fitting (c. 1500-c. 1700 AD). The plate is slightly convex at the front and slightly concave at the rear. At the top the corners are rounded in plan and the centre is slightly indented where there is a small piece of projecting sprue. In plan, the sides of the plate taper inwards towards the integral hook. The hook curves rearwards and its tip almost makes contact with the rear of the plate. The hook is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. Along the longitudinal centre-line of the plate are two rivet holes filled with…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broad , short flake of mottled grey, cream and tan chert.On the distal end is a line of fine semi-abrupt retouch. At the proximal end the butt is facetted and after flake production the right ventral margin has had parallel bladelets removed, thinning it; perhaps to improve grip on the end scraper. Butler(2005) illustrates end scrapers on short flakes on page 127, fig 51.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flake of translucent brown flint with pale grey brown clouds. It looks like a piece of utilised waste. The cortex is of a lightly rolled pebble and this covers most of the dorsal surface. The left corner of the snapped distal end has been abruptly retouched and worn from use. there are small lines of fine retouch on the right distal margin and more serrated on the left proximal margin. Butler (2005) describes expedient tools on page 134.

A wide thin flake of banded grey and opaque cream flint.The right margin has been truncated longitudinally and straight and left un- retouched. The thin distal end has been semi-abruptly and evenly worked to a straight end scraper, The left margin is abruptly retouched with an under cutting notch near the distal end. The proximal dorsal surface has the flakelet scars of platform preparation but also more invasive bladelet retouch and on the ventral edge to make a bifacially worked sharp edge.

A wide flake of translucent brown nodular flint altered more opaque grey and internally fractured by overheating by fire. The piece unusually has 2 bulbs of percussion side by side. These have been partially removed as has another straight part of the right margin by using the flake for grinding. The distal end is a stepped termination and this has been used unretouched as an end scraper. It too has begun to fragment to a rough finish from working a tough material. It seems to have been a Neolithic phenomenon to have made use of heat damaged flint for grinding. Other local examples …

A thick cortical flake of heat altered grey brown flint. The pebble seems to have broken into large pieces either from the heat or being smashed by force. There has been no deliberate flaking as a core; rather the outstanding medial ridge has been battered and crushed along its length. It may hve been used as a hammer stone or a strike-a-light. D.L.Clarke(1970) illustrates on page 386 fig 876 an 'Iron ore Flint striker' combination in a Beaker context.

A thick cortical flake of heat altered grey brown flint with the distal end semi-abruptly retouched to an end scraper. A little additional fine edgework has straightened the margin so that it does not cut the worked material.Later the scraper has been left in a hot environment like a hearth and a pot-lid spall has blown out of the ventral surface, revealing a greyer colour within. Butler(2005) illustrates a cortical flake scraper on page 127, fig 51, 4.
