Description: | Two Post Medieval iron knife blades (probably 15th ? 16th century). Both knives have tapering blades and whittle tangs. Both are incomplete, on the first knife the tip of the blade and the tang are missing; on the second knife the tip of the tang and the majority of the blade is missing. The iron is corroded and very fragile.
The knives are similar to examples excavated in London and dated to the 15th ? 16th centuries, although this style of knife is very common (Egan 2005: 90-91).

Dimensions knife 2: length: 55.90mm; width: 13.55mm; thickness: 3.84mm; weight: 4.27g.
