Copper alloy strap end. A strap end of composite construction with two plates of thickness 0.9 and 0.4mm with a central probably forked spacer plate between them whose tip projects at the outer ogival end. The inner end is lightly engrailed. A rivet of diameter 1.7mm passes through the inner end to attach the plates to each other and the strap. A woven fabric strap remains preserved between the plates – the finder kindly notes he had kept the object wet to preserve what was at first thought to be a leather strap, as the find-spot was also damp. The use of a textile strap may deno…

Possible buckle plate fragment. A trapezoid fragment of cast copper alloy sheet with faint horizontal lines at its wider end and with an impressed slot at the other narrower end. Folded.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy boot fragment. A flat cast and probably pressed metal curved component, flanged on the inner side of its curve, probably from the heel of a work boot with metal inserts or attachments. This interpretation is suggested by the form, and by four drilled holes of diameter 2.5mm equidistantly distributed along the flange, which would have enabled the object to be incorporated into the layers of a stitched sole.

A series of incised chevrons appear on the outer side, though with a zone along one edge of the series undecorated. Probably originally of annular form with a butted seam, now partly flattened. Abraded. A function as a binding might be implied by the annular form. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1400 Length (as found): 19.5mm, Width: 7.4mm, Thickness: 1.5mm, Weight: 2.35gms

Copper alloy unidentified object. A narrow straight-sided strip with a drilled rivet hole of diameter 1.7mm towards one end and possibly broken across a further hole at the other. The rivet hole may hint at a medieval date. A function associated with a strap or as a strap fitting might be implied by its narrow form.

Copper alloy unidentified object. A rectangular sheet metal plate with a series of closely spaced [8 per cm] fine grooves of length 15mm extending from one straight edge, and with faint traces of grooves and a split in the opposite side. Probably for a craft usage. Marks of this form on bones have been associated with the making of pins, on ‘pinner’s bones’, though at a larger scale. Similar close spacing is also seen on comb teeth, so this object might have figured in the cutting of comb teeth – small one-piece bone combs for beards and moustaches are known fro…

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible buckle fragment. A part of what is taken to be the cast spacer plate from a buckle of composite construction, retaining the inner edge of a small single loop and a prong – presumably one of a pair. The lack of a hole for the pin might suggest that the spacer has broken across that aperture or may hint that the spacer was part of a strap end rather than a buckle. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450 Length: 19.1mm, Width: 8.1mm, Thickness (at loop): 3mm, Weight: 1.47gms

Iron and copper alloy penknife fragment. Two iron blades and possibly another implement for a folding knife, retained between fragmentary flat plain copper alloy side plates of thickness 0.7mm by long rivets – whether one or two is now uncertain. A flat oval plate with faint traces of cross-hatching marks the end of the knife handle. Side plates of bone or ivory would have been secured outside the copper plates which remain and would have butted up to the end plate. The object has been exploded by the expansion of its corroding iron blades. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-190…

Copper alloy probable vessel fragment. Cast plano-convex section fragment from a cauldron leg with a pronounced moulded rib on its outer side, flat behind. Raggedly broken at both ends of its short remaining extent. This might suggest multiple casting flaws, the vigorous dismantling of an object for recycling, or recurrent plough-strike damage - pot legs are robust objects and this pattern of breakage is unusual. So too, for a cauldron leg, is the lack of sooting - though black spots were observed on the magnified views achieved during image processing, so this could have been part of …
