A complete cast copper-alloy swivel of medieval to post-medieval date. Each loop is broadly D shaped in plan and rectangular in cross section, one loop has been bent upwards slightly.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet buckle plate. Half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. It is broadly trapezoidal and narrows slightly at the attachment end (W.: 15.6mm). The other end is recessed to accommodate the frame and has broken at this weak point. There is a central notch for the pin at this end; the tabs curve round, one is incomplete. A central perforation towards the attachment end would have held an iron pin judging by the orange/brown corrosion product around it on the lower surface. Th…

Record ID: HAMP-ADAF44
Object type: RIVET
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete medieval to post-medieval sheet copper-alloy rivet. The rivet is made from a kite-shaped piece of copper-alloy rolled into a cone. The top is flattened to form a head. The function for these objects is unclear. However, it is thought that they may have been used for repairing metal vessels.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sheet plate from a copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end. The plate is trapezoidal in form, narrowing gradually to an tapered end with flattened tip. The second plate is missing. The strap-end is held together by a pair of rivets, both survive. The object has corroded to a variable mid/dark-green colour. It has been bent upwards slightly. It can be dated to the 13th to 14th century and examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 147; ref. 698) and also Griffiths et al. (2007, 134-135; ref. 1552).

Object type: STRAINER
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A damaged fragment of a copper-alloy strainer/skimmer plate of probable medieval/post-medieval date. Three pierced circular holes of slightly irregular outline are present plus at least six incomplete holes on the four broken edges.
Various more complete plates can be found on the database (e.g. WILT-0F6255, GLO-068886 and BH-F41444) and they seem to commonly break up along the perforations. Evidence from excavations in London suggests that most of these artefacts probably date from later medieval to early post-medieval period (see Egan 1998, 155-158). This fragment has corroded to …

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy medieval strap end. The strap end is a rectangular sheet which has been folded widthways. The two plates are uneven in width, one plate narrows towards the upper half before expanding slightly at the tip. At the opposite edge to the fold there is a single copper alloy rivet through a rivet hole on each plate. There is a 1.15mm gap between the two plates. The strap end is heavily worn, there are possibly a number of notches at the tip around the rivet on one face. The surface of the strap-end has a dark green patina.
