MINERAL PRESERVED ORGANIC MATERIAL FROM THE CORBRIDGE HOARD.
Author(s): Jacqui Watson
The Corbridge hoard contains a large group of metalwork including a suit of Roman armour and weapons, together with various organic objects packed in a wooden chest. As the metalwork was heavily corroded, many of the organic objects were preserved by iron oxides, and could be identified. Originally, the chest had been bound with iron corner brackets, so that there was sufficient evidence to suggest its original construction with dove-tail joints.
