Description: | A copper alloy late Medieval or Post-Medieval rivet, of the type usually used for repairing metal vessels. The rivet is formed from a square piece of sheet metal, rolled into a cone, with the top squashed down to form the head. It is 20.2mm in length, the head is 13.7 mm by 10.3 mm and the thickness of the copper alloy sheet used to create the rivet is 0.9 mm; it weighs 2.59.A discussion of these rivets can be found in Egan (2005, p.101). Egan suggests that these were a later form a rivet, which took over from the Medieval folded staples in the late 15th to the mid to late 16th century and continued in use into the 18th century (ibid.).
