Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Early medieval lead strap-end. The strap end is rendered in the Winchester style. Although this decoration is fairly crude in execution and eccentric in detail, it depicts a fairly standard inhabited plant-scroll design featuring a pair of confronted lizard-like creatures with rounded heads (and possibly tails) at the top, each perched on the branches of a central plant which sprouts from an unusual calyx or bulb at the bottom. Whilst fairly low-level in craftsmanship, the fact the decoration has been finished and the rivet holes pierced shows that such lead examples were clearly inte…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy cast strap end from the late Anglo-Saxon period. It is almost triangular in plan and is not complete being broken at the top (widest) end. It is zoomorphic in design, probably a mouse, and dates to around the 9th century AD. The design is zoomorphic and a snout, eyes and ears can be seen. The snout is narrow at the bottom and widens up to the ears where it stops. The eyes are raised hollow circles, the ears are similar but sub-circular and larger. The ears may have been filled with something, possibly enamel for decoration.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy military 'amphora' type strap-end or, more correctly, belt terminal of the late Roman period. Although not common in Britain (from stratified contexts), examples are known such as one from the Winchester Lankhills cemetery, for instance. They belong to the type of belt with 'propeller' stiffeners similar to a complete set from Zengovarkarhony. They seem to have been worn with the tongue of the buckle facing the wearer's right hip, which meant the strap terminal ended up dangling on the left hip, after being wrapped around the belt a few times. Although most amphora type b…

The rim and shoulder of a curved-rimmed cooking pot. There is sooting under the rim and on the exterior, and a groove at the shoulder. The fabric is shell-tempered and similar to the fabric of Dales ware jars suggesting a north, rather than south-Lincolnshire or Northampton area of manufacture. It dates from the mid-2nd to the 3rd century. Vessels found with sooting should be handled carefully, since the sooting could indicate the type of wood used for cooking.
