Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Battered strip of thin lightweight white metal, perhaps silver. The original dimensions of the strip must have been c. 26mm x 18mm, but it has been folded roughly in half down the long axis. The fold is not particularly sharp, and it is possible that it was folded over something organic such as cloth or thin leather which has not survived. On each face are two rows of sub-triangular or rectangular punchmarks set transversely and apparently not in neat pairs. The stamp used may have been a square stamp held at an angle. This object is hand-made, but cannot be identified or closely dated.

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Incomplete object, perhaps a bead, made of beaded silver wire. The wire is coiled into 4½ surviving turns which become gradually smaller, forming a truncated cone. The beading is very neat and perfect, with narrow beads forming transverse ridges on the inner surfaces rather than rounded beads. On the exterior, however, the beads are very worn so that the surface is almost smooth. The beading on the narrower end is in unworn condition, suggesting that at least one turn of the coil has been lost here. The beading on the wider end is unworn for about half its circumferen…
