stirrup ?
#1
I was reading/looking through the Curle 1911 Newstead documents (pdf) and in chapter XIII
Quote:Tools and Implements
, page 31, i came across the picture attached.
The links for these documents/chapters you can find on this forum.
The numbers 6 and 14 caught my eye.
Number 6 looks very much like an "Avar" stirrup and number 14 has the same features as a late medieval/modern stirrup.

In the text on page 30 number 6 is described as
Quote:Ring with two loops, probably part of the mounting of a small pail.
and number 14 as
Quote:Manacle (?)
.
The original page for these objects is 288.

So my question is:
Being an old excavation report has there been a new dating of these finds.
If the dating is correct then this could help the discussion about the use of stirrups in Roman time.
Looking forward to your answers.
Regards

Garrelt
