Description: | Three Post Medieval rolled copper alloy sheet rivets with large sheet roves. Two of the rivets have octagonal shaped roves (one broken) and one an oval shape. All have one end heavily flattened while the other, which has been pushed through the rove, is slightly bent out of shape but not completely flattened (the one with the damaged rove has a slightly more damaged end). This may suggest they had not been used but were ready to be used as patches when required. Rolled sheet rivets replaced the earlier folded sheet rivets in pot repairs from the late 15th - 16th centuries (Egan 2005:101).Rivet 1: Complete octagonal head 28.4mm by 28.4mm by 0.9mm, rivet 17.4mm long, 10.74 grams.Rivet 2: Broken octagonal head (old break) 27.8mm by 15.1mm by 0.9mm, rivet 15.5mm long, 11.06 grams.Rivet 3: Oval head 29.5mm by 26.5mm by 1.4mm, rivet 18.8mm long, 10.61 grams.
