Clog Clasps (2001 guide)

Table of Contents

Introduction

Please note that this guide has not been fundamentally changed from the original print version of the Finds Recording Guide (Geake 2001), written when the database contained just 8,800 non-numismatic records.

Clog clasps will rarely be included on the database, as they are of late post-medieval or modern date. They often have anchor-shaped ends and three rectangular holes (see, for example, Read 1995).
