Oxon Hill/Addison
Context: Well Feature 1002, Level 34, Lot 2301
Context Date Range: c. 1711-1895
Metal: Copper alloy
Tine Length: Domes are 0.35”, Axe head shaped
have unmeasurable broken tines
Leather Thickness: 0.1”-0.15”
Description:
Plain domes are outlined around the edge and show evidence of tinning.
The artifacts with the axe head motif also may have been tinned. Leather is intact on
four of the five pieces, one of which shows the arrangement of the dome
and axe head shaped piece on one leather fragment. This leather fragment
also has an area with contour that fits the dome that has no leather
attached. If that dome had indeed been placed there, the domes would
have been very close together on the original piece.
