Author(s): Jacqui Watson
The identification of organic material preserved by metal corrosion products from excavations at the castle, dates range from C15 - C17th. The objects examined include a large group of arrowheads, some with shaft remains, several knives and tools, as well as a set of jackplates. One of the most interesting items is a knife with a mother-of-pearl handle and a contribution on the distribution of this material by S Payne. Electron micrographs of this material have been included as they may prove diagnostic in identifying this material at a microscopic level.
