| Description (summary) | 2008-08-20 | eE | a small cylindrical iron fragment bent along one end into a cane-shape. The piece is covered almost entirely with soil encrustation, beneath which is a thick layer of iron oxide. The consistency of the diameter makes it difficult to detect a taper or possible point to indicate a pin or needle. There is also the possibility that the piece was left over for a casting process. However, taking into account that it was found beneath topsoil, it can be compared to an iron piece from J7 topsoil (q 45.3), a dirk which preserves a rivet inserted through the tang of the blade in order to hold a wooden handle in place. The diameter of this rivet, 0.3 cm, matches well with this cylindrical piece from A20, making it the most promising interpretation for this piece. [Input: S820SE.j] |
| 2008-09-11 | sC | Shaft of circular cross-section which is blunt at one terminal and bent at the other into a hook; the shaft is uniform in diameter; the surface is characterized by oxidation and the metal looks to be iron, but a fracture of the shaft seems to reveal some lead. Find below topsoil, therefore could possible it is iron. [Input: S917LC.j] |
