Object type: SHOT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead shot. Cast ball, possibly with slight traces of a circumferential belt arising from 'set up' at the time of firing. The mass, at just under one averdepois ounce, would be apt to a smoothbore firearm of military specification. The slight surface irregularity of this ball suggests local rather than industrial manufacture. However, the total lack of patination may indicate a later date than is usual, unless disturbance from a sealed context can be adduced. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1850. Diameter: 17.1mm, Weight: 27.77gms.

Fragment of a cast copper alloy two loop bucke. A rectangular section stem or shank which extends between two flat elements with, in so far as they remain, curved edges, and both bearing a rayed pattern of grooves converging on the stem. Rusty stains on the central shank hint at the former presence of a ferrous metal component. This identification was kindly offered by Laura Burnett, with confirmation of this offered by Rob Webley, who comments as follows: 'This looks like the pin bar of a post-medieval buckle, the rust from the missing iron pin. Cf. Whitehead (2003, 65; e.g. no. 402)…

White metal, of light weight, probably aluminium. Fragment from a hollow strut or component of external diameter c.100mm, very slightly flared at the top. The metal is coated overall - including all fracture surfaces - in a thick buff corrosion deposit. This is probably from an aircraft, and the extent of corrosion may arise from the intense heat of a catastrophic explosion and fire. The finder has previously reported similarly distressed debris from the documented site of a downed British bomber. The material was kindly identified by members of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research…

Copper alloy button fragment. Flat discoid and probably composite button, comprising two layers of sheet metal pressed together with a rim, and bearing a crude stamped device on the front. The device appears quasi-heraldic, and presents a creature sitting facing right in an oval panel, flanked by the fronds of a wreath, with a crude crown above. A loop was perhaps formerly held between the layers of metal, whence it has been torn away. The execution is almost rustic, and in strong contrast to the factory-made series of livery buttons, though this might be a crude and early imitation o…

Probable Post Medieval cast lead uniface token. The token carries a design consisting of two concentric rings with a saltire within. The reverse is undecorated. The surface is a matte cream colour. The token measures 19.69mm, 17.88mm wide, and weighs 4.4g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD), those which seem to mimic Medieval …

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy metalworking debris. Fragment of copper alloy with a bubbled surface on one side and possibly with flow lines on the other. One 'end' is dished, and this, together with a possibly ridged section of the object, might suggest this to be the remains of a cauldron leg detached and melted down during an episode of recycling. This identification would suggest a Medieval date for this activity. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1200-1500. Height: 43mm, Width: 35mm, Thickness: 25mm, Weight: 83.68gms

Less than one half of a post-medieval gilt copper alloy buckle frame, the edge and most of both sides of one oval loop. The cup of a large acorn knop in the centre of the edge is engraved with cross-hatching. All of the reverse is hollowed. The complete object would have been double-looped, both loops oval, with four similar knops (one at both ends of the narrowed bar), cf. Whitehead 2003, no. 406. Extant length and width 32 and 47.5mm. c.1550 - c.1650. Copper alloy buckles were very uncommonly gilded at this period.

A white metal seal matrix that seems to be complete having no obvious breaks. This artefact weighs 3.25g. The body of the seal matrix is circular with a diameter of 13.3mm and rectangular cross-section of 2.1mm thickness. This part of the matrix appears flat however a slight curve, more noticeable on the reverse, is present which allows the artefact to balance stably on a finger-tip. The upper surface of the matrix has a legend, starting at the 4 or 5 o'clock position (this would be 7 or 8 o'clock on any impression made by the matrix) and ending at the 7 or 8 o'clock position (this wo…
