A damaged iron knife. The knife has a tapering integral tang. The back of the tang is flush with the back of the blade. The blade edge is missing, but the shape is elongated and the tip is missing. The knife is now bent at the point where blade meets tang. Possibly Anglo-Saxon, but probably much later.

Object type: STUD
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron Stud. Wrought Iron stud with a broad straight-sided domed head and a short pointed shank of rectangular section. The good condition should probably argue a relatively recent date. This object would be apt to the reinforcement of a hefty door; the short shank does not suggest a role in the joining of major structural elements, which would more usually be achieved by carpentry. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800. Length (overall): 53.6mm, Width (head): 55mm by 59mm, Weight: circa 245gms.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Post Medieval cast iron hammer head probably dating to the 17th century. This is a claw hammer head with a rectangular socket for the handle and a conical head at one end and angled split end at the other. The conical head is decoratively case with bands of ridges and grooves along the neck. There are also decorative grooves on each side of the socket, near the edges. The iron is in reasonable condition with a few small areas of rust developing on the surface. There are no visible maker's marks. A similar example is recorded on the database as LON- 94C927, which Tony Pi…

Object type: SHEARS
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Half of a set of Medieval to Modern shears. One complete blade and arm survive, along with roughly half of the broader connecting loop. The shears are undecorated three pairs of double notches on the sides of the arm. The shears are covered in iron corrosion and part of the edge of the blade has chipped. Shears are often undecorated or simply decorated and there shape changes little between the Medieval and Modern periods, therefore a broad 1200-1900 AD date is suggested. Dimensions: length: 124.29 mm; width: 16.77 mm; thicness: 11.23 mm; weight 11.84g.

An incomplete Post Medieval to Modern iron knife. The knife has a complete scale tang with a, now flattened, round terminal. There are two in-situ rivets through the tang, and a hole for a third, which would have held the scales in place. The scales are no longer present. The tang and the blade are integrally attached by a short solid bolster. The blade itself is broken, so the true length of the knife is uncertain. None of the remaining iron knife is decorated. Scale tang knifes were made from the late medieval period onwards, and the lack of decoration or maker's mark on this ex…

County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a Post Medieval iron knife, dating AD 1600-1650. The knife has a long, solid bolster, hexagonal in section, which flattens into a narrow blade. The blade has a straight, worn break across its width, 47.9mm from the bolster. At the other end of the bolster is a pin tang with a worn tip. The rest of the handle is missing. The bolster is undecorated beyond its six facets. A knife with a similar hexagonal bolster previously found on the Thames foreshore is early 16th century in date(Brown 2001, 83), so this knife is likely of a similar date. Dimension: length: 119.38 m…

An incomplete Post Medieval iron knife, dating AD 1550-1650. The knife has a long, solid cylindrical bolster which flats into a narrow blade. The blade has a straight, worn break across its width. At the other end of the bolster is the remains of a tang which has broken near to its start. The rest of the handle is missing. The bolster is decorated with two engraved sets of four-petalled flowers; one set aligned with each face of the blade. The narrow blade and the bolster/tang configuration suggests an early Post Medieval date, AD 1550 to 1650. Similar examples can be found in Brow…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast iron cannonball of Post-Medieval date, probably dating to 1640 or later. The cannonball is spherical with an even coat of corrosion across its surface. There may be some indication through the corrosion of the flashmarks, from the two moulds from which the ball was cast. The weight is approximated at 2.5kg or 5lbs.

Cast iron shot, spherical in shape, with pitted surface, but with most of the surface iron corrosion product having fallen away since it was found, leaving the original object. The shot is about an inch and a quarter in diameter, or 39 mm, which could have been used by the smaller artillery pieces like the 'base', or small cannon, which was the smallest of the 'standard' list of guns of the late 16th century, at one and a quarter inch calibre, but equally could have been used as grape shot for some of the larger pieces. In the 17th century, during the Civil War, any iron object was us…

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast iron cannon ball, spherical in shape, pitted and corroded on the surface but not damaged from use. The diameter of 82 mm and weight of almost 2kg of the cannon ball compares well with examples of Civil War shot in the Royal Institution of Cornwall's collections, in particular a cannon ball from Castle Dore, Lostwithiel (TRURI 1992.91) and another from Tresillian Bridge (TRURI 1993.8), both Civil Ware battle sites. The size and weight of the ball suggests that it would fit a 'Minion' cannon which had a 3.5 inch bore and shot a 4 pound ball (Bailey, 2000, 95). These were used from …

Copper alloy and iron possible screw. An iron shank sheathed in copper alloy, with three turns of a finely inscribed screw thread on its outer surface. Corroded iron projects from one end; the other appears to have been cut with heavy shears. The mass may suggest further iron within the object, which is perhaps treated to retard corrosion while retaining strength. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800. Length: 29.8mm, Diameter (mid shaft): 6.1mm, Weight: 7.26gms.

Post Medieval? Iron cannonball, 95mm in diameter and weighing 1,760 grams (3lb 3.4 oz.). The ball may have been fired as it has a flat patch with scratching (the area reflecting light in the photo). Although the ball was found at Dadlington, a place long associated with the Battle of Bosworth, it is not believed to be as early as that. However it is interesting that several 'cannonballs' have been noted in this area.
