THE IDENTIFICATION OF ORGANIC MATERIAL PRESERVED ON IRONWORK FROM BURTON FLEMING, YORKSHIRE

Author(s): Jacqui Watson

This is an identification report on the mineral preserved organic material associated with ironwork from this Iron Age cemetery. The groups of objects examined include swords, spears, shields, knives and tools, and are discussed under these headings. The swords are a particularly interesting group as a large variety of materials were used in the construction of their hilts and scabbards. In order to illustrate these and some of the organic additions on the other objects, many diagrams and micrographs have been included in this report.
