Late Medieval - early Post Medieval copper alloy sheet rivet. The rivet has been rolled and the both ends hammered flat suggesting it had been used. Rolled sheet rivets replaced the earlier folded sheet rivets in pot repairs from the late 15th - 16th centuries (Egan 2005:101). A piece of sheet, usually kite shaped was rolled into a cylinder, the short point folded over and the long point pushed through a hole in the vessel and sheet repair. Both ends were then hammered flat to grip the two pieces together. This is a small example and may have been used to rivet a finer thin walled…
