Object type: TWEEZERS
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A set of Early-Medieval copper-alloy tweezers. An apex loop links two arms of equal form. Each of these arms is of 'D-shaped' section and has sides which bow inwards at the centre, flaring at either end. Their widest part is at the bottom, which is of unusual form, being rounded rather than the typical squared-off form, and not having had their points turned inwards. Another atypical feature is the use of two copper-alloy rivets to join the arms together at the top. Following the insertion of these circular-sectioned rivets, a simple geometric pattern, comprising a saltire flanked a…

County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead-alloy cap from a post-Medieval powder flask. The now-squashed cap has a flat, oval base, above which the sides flare towards the opening. No trace remains of any suspension lugs. Dimensions: maximum width: 24mm; height: 18.1mm. Weight: 14.27g. Powder flask caps are common finds from Civil War period sites.
