Description: | Wrought IronNails. Two near complete hand made nails and three other nail shank fragments (a-e); the most complete nail (d) probably had a flat rounded head. The making of nails by a blacksmith would produce a rectilinear section, as opposed to the round section of modern mechanically drawn nail shanks. The process of manufacture remained effectively unchanged through the Medieval and Post-Medieval period. Suggested date: Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1200-1800.Lengths and Weights: a) L 135mm W 38.54gms, b) L 68mm W 16.79gms, c) L 58mm W 5.47gms, d) L 54mm W 10.74gms, e) L 37mm W 5.19gms
