The paper talks about a workshop from the last quarter of the 3rd century AD. They have found enough sigillata and coins to clearly date the excavation level.
The fragments found there are more than 90, between them some tie rings, 11 lobate hinges, 5 embossed washers, 4 hinged strap fittings, 1 hook, 5 pieces of binding for lower girdle plates, 18 leathering rivets, 9 river tips, 10 medium rivets with a concave circular head, 1 nail of brass with a conical head filled with lead, 1 pin with a spherical head, 7 bars, sheets, rings or uncertain items, and 1 fragment of iron sheet corresponding to a girdle plate.
I have read the paper only two or three days after having discussed with some of my commilitones that romans NEVER have used concave nails filled with lead, as they have done on his caligae... :oops:
