Part of a set of copper alloy tweezers of uncertain date. They are of a type with flaring arms which are known from Roman to Medieval times, though it is suspected that the widest flaring arms date from the Middle Anglo-Saxon period (Geake, Finds Recording Guide). Only the terminal of one arm survives and it is bent into a U shape. The base of the arm is triangular and the very end turns inwards at an angle of about 45 degrees. The rest of the arm is rectangular in plan and is bent backwards on itself. The outer face is decorated with transverse moulded grooves. The break is patinat…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy Medieval strap end made from three pieces with a sheet spacer occupying the whole width. The strap end has an angled end at the closed end and is slightly rounded at the open end. The sheet spacer extends for two thirds of the length. It is presumably soldered in place. In the centre at the open end is a copper alloy rivet to fasten the two outer sheets to the strap. There is no decoration and the strap end has a mid green patina. Compare number 692 and 693 on page 147 of Egan and Pritchard which are dated from 1270 - 1350.

An incomplete cast copper alloy book fitting or clasp, the hook piece, of Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1650). The book fitting is sub rectangular in plan, with concave sides.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval uniface lead alloy token. The design appears to be an uneven cross with flared arms outlined with curved relief lines, filled with hatching. This may be intended to be mill sails which would make it a Powell type 22, or could be a petalled flower (type 1). The token has a well developed white patina and probably dates from 1200 - 1600. A similar example is illustrated on page 23 (number 2 on row 6) of Fletcher (2005) Leaden Tokens and Tallies.

A Post Medieval, lead alloy cloth seal, probably dating from AD 1500-1700. It consists of two circular discs, one of which is perforated to take an integral rivet.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy Post-Medieval rowel spur dating from about the 17th-18th Century. The spur is formed of a curved and flattened copper alloy band which would fit around the base of the ankle/heel. Both terminals are missing. The breaks show the arm to be D shaped in section. In the centre of the curve is a projection which splits into two with a slot where a rowel would have fitted. Compare to PAS record ID: LVPL-319747 and SWYOR-8AEE12. The small size of this spur may suggest it belonged to a child.
