Object type: HECKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron heckle comb. A ferrous metal bar with a central part of width 26mm, thickness 4.7mm and of V-section with narrowed and thickened [to 5mm] projections of length 55mm at either end with a step on their upper edges; and a serrated ‘blade’ with three points per cm extending for 109mm along the lower edge, clasped within a thin [1.8mm] ferrous metal case with a curved upper edge, of which some is probably lost. There is an E-shaped attachment secured at the end of each bar of its E on top of the case, both probably having been attached to a handle [lost]. Either for fibre p…

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron knife. A narrow pointed knife blade, with a pointed tip with angled back, otherwise parallel-sided except where corrosion has spalled away to reveal the metal core. As the presumed proximal [i.e. nearer the handle] end is the same width as the blade a scale tanged form is inferred. The mass suggests good survival of the metal. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Early Post-Medieval, 1400-1550

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy and iron sword fragment. The pointed wrought iron tip of a broad-bladed sword, retained within a scabbard chape with a pointed end and an openwork display side with a moulded pattern of interlaced strands discerned between oval holes which are partly blocked by rust extruded from the blade. The back is plainer though a border line appears incised along one descending side. The decoration confers an early medieval appearance on an object whose affinities might more usually lie in the later medieval to early post-medieval periods [see notes below]. Suggested date: Early Medi…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron bolt fragment. A thick possibly round-section shank with a thickened and expanded head of width 28.5mm, now broken, and lacking its tip. The mass suggests good survival of the metal core, and hence a probably relatively recent date. Possibly from a burnt or decayed structural timber. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1850

Iron nails. Eight wrought iron nail fragments, two retaining flat oval heads and with shanks of possibly square tapered section, though the flaking of corrosion may confer an inauthentically square section entailing the loss of the actual metal surface. The form of the more complete nails corresponds to Manning’s very common Type 1b/Inchtuthil Type E, which made up 87.3% of the nails from a hoard of 800,000 nails recorded from Inchtuthil fort on Hadrian’s Wall. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.

Iron nail. A probably rectangular-section shank, tip lost, with an enlarged head of possibly lozenge form. Expanded overall by corrosion, though the mass indicates good survival of a metal core. Accompanying material is mainly Roman in date, though with traces of later material also present. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 43-1750

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron staple. Wrought iron strip, sharply tapered to a point at either end and expanded in the middle, bent to U-shape. Enlarged by rusting. The pointed ends would be driven into timber to anchor a bracket, hinge or pipe in the hollow of the U. The mass indicates good survival of the metal core, and hence a probably relatively recent date, while the preservation of the pointed ends may suggest a structural timber has burnt to release the object in such good condition. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron unidentified object fragment. A cast concavo-convex conical object, with an indication of a square feature, perhaps lost from this site, and with a conical hollow 23mm deepwithin. Chipped at top and bottom. The finder kindly notes this comes from an area of Roman finds. However, Dr Kevin Leahy considers almost all cast iron objects are likely to date to the later medieval or early post-medieval periods at the earliest. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1900

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron and copper alloy metalworking debris. A compact oval cake made up of three discrete layers or components. The earliest appears to comprise fragments of copper alloy which has congealed on a flat smooth surface leaving a glossy surface to the object. A maximum thickness of 7mm might be inferred for this part. The massiest largest central part is a metallic ferrous cake [giving a strong magnetic response] with an intermittently vesicular appearance, of thickness 45mm. An upper layer is a splash of off-white ashy vesicular skim [compare NLM-87C967 and NLM-882816 which …

Iron probable tuyere with copper alloy melt adhering. A cast round-section oval iron object with a central round longitudinal aperture of diameter 15.5mm. The object is shaped like a large lentoid bead at its open end and is possibly narrowed from its midpoint with a circumferential groove. Associated with a group of copper alloy metalworking waste. The blocked end bears parallel grooves in a limited zone. The object was kindly viewed by Dr James Dilley, Experimental Archaeologist at the University of Southampton, who considers that a late date is implied by this detail. This conc…

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron possible heckle comb tooth. Tapered cast square-section shank, lightly curved. The material was identified by testing with a magnet. A wooden comb handle mounted with rows of teeth would be used to separate the fibres of flax or hemp, or to card wool. The good condition and regular curvature of this object prompts an identification other than as a nail fragment. It may arise from the use of a high quality steel to make comb teeth. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800

Iron nail. Wrought iron handmade nail with a square-section very slightly tapered shank [tip lost, 9mm by 9mm] and a rectangular head which appears triangular in profile.

Iron possible vessel fragment. Cast cauldron leg of trilobate section, with a narrow flat foot, expanding towards its junction with the rest of the vessel. The outer surface [as used, inferred from the angle at the foot] is lightly concave, with an integrally cast reinforcing rib behind it. Broken unevenly at the top. Polishing appears on the inner side, if not the result of heating or light sooting. The mass suggests good survival of the metal core. Dr Kevin Leahy asserts that cast iron was introduced only from the end of the medieval period [c.1490] for a restricted range of uses beg…
