Record ID: DUR-5D0497
Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Four disc lead late Medieval- Post Medieval cloth seal, unused, dating to 1400- 1800.
It is complete, and has been folded in half, but not put together, and not stamped with any design. Disc 1 has the conical stud on the reverse, which fits through the hole of Disc 4. The seal has been folded at the connecting strip between Discs 2 and 3. Each of the discs is sub-circular.
Without any markings on it is not possible to date this example more closely as cloth seals were used over a long period of time.

Copper alloy sheet, possibly part of a flattened vessel, most likely Post Medieval in date.
It would originally have been circular in plan but around a third is missing, leaving it almost semi-circular. It is not entirely flat, being bent out of shape, but it could have been concave originally. Around the edge are circular rivet holes at even distances from each other. Some of these have rivets still attached, four remain. These have sub-circular heads and solid, circular shafts.

Object type: TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron blade, probably a knife, most likely Post Medieval in date.
The knife begins to curve around half way down the blade. At this point it also narrows (from 20.46mm to 7.57mm). It seems to have a rectangular cross section. It is very corroded and so little detail can be seen on it.
Iron tools such as this take a similar form over many centuries and so stray finds such as this are difficult to date precisely. Due to corrosion levels in the area it is unlikely this is pre the Post Medieval period as it would probably not have survived.

Cast copper alloy spout from a vessel, such as a ewer, Post Medieval in date.
It is sub-cylindrical with the inner surface being rounded whilst the outside is slightly angular. It has a slight curve and both ends appear broken. Near to one end there is a small sub-triangular protrusion, this could be casting waste or it could be to do with the spout, it is not clear.
The alloy appears to have some lead/pewter in it from the colour and patination.
