County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete tinned cast copper alloy spectacle or double-loop buckle frame with lozenge-shaped knops on the outer edge of each side loop and trefoil moulding at either end of the strap bar. Beyond the strap bar, the other half of the frame has broken off. The strap bar is narrowed and flush with the frame and the pin that would have attached to it is now missing. Surface white powdering and small white metal patches suggest that the frame was originally tinned. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 65, No.402, which is dated from c.1550-1650.

A post-Medieval copper-alloy candlestick. The artefact has become detached from its base. The baluster-moulded stem has a hollow centre and extends into a hollow cylindrical socket at the top. Dimensions: 103.7mm long, 29.9mm wide. Weight: 85.91g.

The suggested date range for this piece is late 16th to 17th century.

Five lead alloy shot / balls, of probable post medieval or early modern date (1600-1800 AD). Three of these are from musket / carbine whilst the other two are from pistols. All the shot is sub spherical in shape with an uneven surface. Several of the balls have flat or flattened areas from use (probably hitting something hard when fired), and some show evidence of casting seams from the moulds. The colour of the balls varies from a slight grey colour to a mid yellow grey. Similar shot has been dated to the later post medieval period however the date range should extend into the early …

Complete cast copper-alloy asymmetrical double loop buckle of Post-Medieval date. The frame has one trapezoid and one D-shaped loop and is D-shaped in section with a flattened back. A lobed knop, possibly a stylized acorn, projects outwards from the centre of the outer edge of the D-shaped loop forming a finial. There are also smaller lobed knops to either end of the strap bar. The strap bar has traces of iron corrosion around the centre which is all that remains of the iron pin. Whitehead illustrates a similar buckle (2003: 92) no. 584, which he dates to 1575-1700 AD.

The ball is a mid grey colour, with an abraded surface patina. Similar sized shot have been dated to the later post medieval period however the date range should extend into the early modern period as similar projectiles were used in firearms throughout this period.

Post Medieval cast lead-alloy spherical shot (musket ball). The casting seam, with the two halves of the shot misaligned, runs around the circumference and the stub of the casting sprue is still attached. There is no sign of impact. Although usually termed 'musket ball' the shot may have been used with other weapons and therefore the term lead shot is usually preferred. The shot has been dated c.1600-1800 in line with the basic usage period for this type of ammunition.
