Title
Medieval tweezers
Description
English: A small, simple pair of copper-alloy tweezers. Made from a thin sheet bent double with a small loop. The straight arms are now slightly misaligned. They sit at an acute angle of approximately ten degrees. The ends turn in at an angle of approximately 135 degrees. As Pritchard (1991, 383) notes, such a construction method is characteristic of Romano-British tweezers as well as medieval ones. In the absence of surface decoration it is difficult to date simple tweezers. However, as this pair were found on a known deserted medieval village (DMV) site a medieval date can be suggested.
