METAL DETECTING FINDS: HOOKED-CLASPS AND EYES
by Brian Read
This book draws together an extensive range of small metal artefacture with one or more hooks, variously known as clothing-fasteners, clothing-hooks, dress-fasteners, dress-hooks, hooked-fasteners, hooked-tags, hooks and eyes, cloak-fasteners, cloak-clasps and scarf-hooks.
Periods covered are Roman, early medieval, late medieval, early post-medieval and late post-medieval.
The author explains both textually and illustratively what is currently known about when, where and how these objects were used, and their manufacture. Also covered are miscellaneous objects with hooks, eyes, loops, rings or toggles.
Intriguing and frequently beautiful works of art, these objects are subjected to their in-depth study under one cover.
A4, softback, 242 pages.
Brian Read was born in 1939 in Essex and raised in East and South-East London. With no formal educational qualifications, he left Secondary Modern School in 1954 and became a trainee millwright and then a trainee groundsman before joining the Merchant Navy in 1955 through which he travelled widely. In 1961 he embarked on fire service career, first with the Devon County Fire Service, then the City of Plymouth Fire Brigade, and finally the newly formed Devon Fire Brigade. While on duty in 1983, in the rank of assistant divisional officer, he sustained an injury that, in 1986, resulted in his medical discharge. Since leaving the fire service he has worked as a freelance writer. His first book, History Beneath Our Feet, published in 1988, was a bestseller and after extensive revision underwent re-publication in 1995 and again proved successful. Between 1999 - 2015 he self-published, under the imprint Portcullis Publishing. From 1978, metal detecting and its associated study of small metal artefacture has been his primary leisure interest.
