[Illustration: FIGURE 16.--BUILDERS' HARDWARE and other metal items. One-half.] 10. Iron rivet with large head approximately rectangular in shape and measuring 1-3/8 in. by 1-3/16 in. Shaft originally round-sectioned but now much decayed and showing evidence of having spread at its flat terminal. T.N. 23. 11. Tube of sheet iron. Wider at one end than the other, having an aperture of 3/8 in. at the narrow end and approximately 7/8 in. at the other end. Possibly the nozzle from a pair of bellows or, conceivably, a large ferrule; however, there seem to be no holes for mounting the iron to wood. The object has been hammered at its wide end, causing the metal to spread and roll and the entire object to buckle and yawn at its midsection. T.N. 23. 12. An object of uncertain purpose sometimes described as a door or shutter latch. The blade section is neither pointed nor sharpened, and the shank or tang is slightly spread at the end.[143] T.N. 18. 13. Fragment of object of uncertain purpose. Sheet iron is folded over at one edge to grip an iron strap, only a small section of which survives. T.N. 23. 14. Iron hasp from trunk or chest lock; has rectangular keeper and rolled terminal for lifting.[144] T.N. 18. 15. Iron strap with rectangular #T#-shaped terminal at one end and pierced by a 7/8 in. rivet at the other end; of uncertain purpose. T.N. 23. 16. Ward plate, possibly from large padlock, iron. T.N. 22. 17. Ward plate from large rimlock. Lugs at either end serve as rivets that pass through iron supports extending back from the front plate. T.N. 17. 18. Bolt, iron, from large rimlock. The head is approximately 1/2 in. thick. Two wards extending from the shaft show that, to lock, the bolt moved from right to left. Unstratified. 19. Bolt, iron, from large rimlock. The head is approximately 1/2 in. thick. The remains of two wards extend from the shaft and show that, to lock, the bolt moved from left to right. T.N. 18. 20. Harness buckle, iron. Almost square-sectioned, with the tang round-sectioned, flattened at the top, and rolled around the buckle. T.N. 16. 21. Harness buckle, iron. The tang side is round-sectioned, the other sides flattened. The tang is pointed, square-sectioned in the shaft, and possesses an ornamental ridge below the point at which it rolls over the frame.[145] T.N. 23. 22. Harness buckle, iron, much decayed. Frame and tang apparently square-sectioned, the former perhaps unintentionally constricted at one side. T.N. 23. FIGURE 17. OBJECTS OF IRON, BRASS, BONE, AND GLASS 1. Ring, iron, with evidence of wear at one side; possibly a handle or a chain terminal. T.N. 23.
