Description: | A corroded cast copper alloy stud with broken and corroded iron shaft, probably Roman in date. The stud has a globular head, now somewhat mis-shapen, with a ridged collar at its base. The shaft has lost its original form as a result of corrosion and only extends for 4.95mm.Similar large spherical headed studs or nails are recorded in Crummy (1981:115, no.2995) although those had copper alloy shanks. Crummy suggests these were used on furniture and are Roman in date. See SUSS-DFE0E6 on this database for another similar example with an iron shank.
