The book frames each chapter by buckle frame shape to simplify the classification process and avoid repetition across historic periods. Dating methods draw on stratified archaeological finds, pictorial art, and stylistic evidence, while noting cases where plain buckles were used over several centuries. Intended for metal detector users, collectors, museum staff, and archaeologists handling buckles regularly.","BUCKLES  \n—1250-1800-  \nRoss Whitehead  \nBUCKLES  \n1250-1800  \nRoss Whitehead  \nlhis book would nat hime beenpossible wltbout he encouragement and nssistance atmany people.I an indrbted to ordon Bailey.Diid Drummond.NisedMlls and 3reg Payne fot providingphototraplis wzukch helped to reducethe urcen of drawizig1 wouid asolke to cankc the following for providing me swith uiTestricted accr99 tocheir persond coilection FredBrowI.lobn Davles,Tony Cratton,Gavtn Ki David undt Jou Martn.Paul Norcot,Daid and Arine PilingBen Redsaw aund Roy wiDamsMany of the burkles photographed tnehapter 9 and vtrtusay all of thcseHllustruted n capter 10 appcar bykind perinssion o!Ane PIlinFually.I would like to thank my edtor.Gree Puync and my publisherAlan olhour.for their cnuthusiasmand support during the preparitlonof ths bonk  \n6      Foreword  \n7 Introduction  \n8 Chapter 1Buckle Manufacture  \n16 Chapter 2Single Looped Buckles:1250-1650  \n32 Chapter 3Buckles with Integral Plates:1250-1500  \n40 Chapter 4Clasp Fasteners:1300-1500  \n44 Chapter 5Annular Buckles:1350-1720  \n52 Chapter 6Spectacle Buckles:1350-1720  \n74 Chapter 7Rectangular and Trapezoidal Buckles:1350-1700  \n87 Chapter 8Asymmetrical Buckles:1350-1700  \n96 Chapter 9Two Piece Buckles:1660-1800  \n115 Chapter 10Buckles as Jewellery  \n126 Select Bibliography  \n\n| All rights reserved.No part of  \u003Cbr>Editor  \u003Cbr>Greg Payne  \u003Cbr>this publication may be  \u003Cbr>reproduced,stored in a  \u003Cbr>Design Editor  \u003Cbr>retrieval system,or  \u003Cbr>Liz Wright  \u003Cbr>transmitted in any form by  \u003Cbr>any means,electronic,  \u003Cbr>Origination  \u003Cbr>mechanical photocopying,  \u003Cbr>Sally Robinson  \u003Cbr>recording or otherwise,  \u003Cbr>without the prior permission  \u003Cbr>Published by  \u003Cbr>of Greenlight Publishing  \u003Cbr>Greenlight Publishing  \u003Cbr>The Publishing House,  \u003Cbr>ISBN 189773817X  \u003Cbr>119 Newland Street,  \u003Cbr>Witham,Essex CM81WF  \u003Cbr>◎2003 Greenlight Publishing  \u003Cbr>Tel:01376521900  \u003Cbr>email:info@greenlightpublishing.co.uk  \u003Cbr>Printed in Great Britain  \u003Cbr>www.greenlightpublishing.co.uk   |\n| --- |\n\nuckles are by far the largest category of medieval and post-medieval dress accessory,andover the last twenty five years vastnumbers have been brought to lightby the hobby of metal detecting.Thisbook is intended to assist in theidentification of these buckles,and itis hoped that it will be of use to metaldetector users.antiquity collectors.museum curators and archaeologistswho find or handle buckles of thisperiod on a regular basis.  \nIn deciding what to illustrate Ihave sought to obtain a balancebetween common and rare,plain anddecorated buckles.A book such asthis is necessarily selective in what itillustrates,as the number of typesand varieties amongst buckles of thisperiod is virtually limitless.  \nEach chapter covers the develop-ment of a particular group of bucklesbased on the shape of the frame.This was felt preferable to writing aseries of chapters divided into his-toric periods;it is usually simpler tostart the identification process fromthe shape of the buckle rather than  \nthe period to which it might belong.In addition,many types of bucklewere used over successive periods.This would have created a lot ofunnecessary repetition had a periodformat been adopted.  \nThe dating of the buckles in thisbook has been based on a number ofmethods.Where possible I have usedstratified finds from archaeologicalexcavations as a basis for dating dif-ferent groups of buckles.Depictionsof buckles in pictorial art has alsobeen of considerable help.Many ofthe more decorative buckles areamenable to fairly close dating onstylistic grounds.  \nHowever,many plain or simplydecorated buckles were manufac-tured and used over several succes-sive centuries.In these cases I haveused excavation finds to indicate themain period of usage,rather than thewhole period of time over which aparticular group of buckles were pro-duced.Where appropriate this isclearly indicated both in the main textand in the catalogue sub-headings.  \nRoss Whitehead,Paignton,Devon  \n","cbCaiikTyGpxcm3R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiikTyGpxcm3R","pdf",41572084,1,127,"English","en",105,"# Foreword\n# Introduction\n# Chapter 1 -
