Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (dating from the 14th century). The frame consists of a ring of sub square section measuring 16.99mm diameter by 2.62mm thick. The wire pin is circular in section and has been looped round the frame and there is no pin rest. The artefact has therefore been recorded as a buckle rather than a brooch (see Egan and Pritchard 1991, 57). Many examples of annular buckles have been found in London in 14th-century contexts (ibid., 57-58; fig. 36). The buckle has a dark-brown patina.

A fossilised shell (probably Gryphaea, commonly known as a Devil's Toenail), dating from the Jurassic period. The fossil may have been curated during in an archaeological period, or may be naturally occurring. They are so common near Scunthorpe, that they appear on the town's arms. In the 17th and 18th centuries, they were believed to be a cure for arthritic joints.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A group of fifteen smooth and rounded stone pebbles which could have been used as gaming counters. They vary in colour from grey through buff to pink. They were all found in one area of one field, but it remains a possibility that they are a natural river gravel deposit. The site is a known Early Medieval one, so if they are archaeological, an Early Medieval date is suggested.

A group of nine lead alloy, globular objects, originally recorded as polyhedral weights, probably of Early Medieval date, but now thought to be Post Medieval buckshot. Each consists of a globule of metal impressed with a number of circular depressions. They range in size from 4.5mm in diameter, weighing 0.43gm, to 5.7mm in diameter, weighing 0.9gm. The others are: 5.49mm, 0.73g; 5.3mm, 0.81g; 5.49mm, 0.72g; and 5.63mm, 0.72g. One further is angular rather than rounded (perhaps squashed) and measures 5.7mm x 4.6mm x 4.3mm and weighs 0.46g. Two additional examples are fused together. Th…

Two copper alloy mounts each with two rivets still in place, of probably Early Medieval date. The objects are rectangular in plan. One is D shaped in section, and one is U shaped in section. Each has two separate thin wire copper alloy rivets surviving, with the ends slightly thickened. The ends of the mounts appear to be complete. The function of these mounts is unknown but they could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy Medieval strap end with a sheet spacer probably dating from 1270 - 1350 AD. It is sub-rectangular with broken ends which are both patinated and rounded. The strap end is formed from two plates and a sheet spacer between. The sheet spacer stops before the attachment end to leave space for the strap. No decoration is visible, but the strap end may have once had an incised design. It now has a dusty green patina. There are the remains of a copper alloy rivet in the centre of the attachment end. See page 147 of Dress Accessories by Egan and Pritchard.
