Breastplate Section—major section of an early 17th-century breastplate. It has been flattened while
buried in a trash pit and thus appears distorted. The rolled edges
and brass rivets at the shoulders and on the skirt are typical of the
pikeman suit breastplates commonly recovered from Virginia sites.
This example, however, also has a small flap in the armhole, a feature
not found on other breastplate sections recovered from the same site or
other nearby sites.
This example was recovered from Jordan's Journey, a 17th-century settlement site in Prince George County near Hopewell, Virginia. |
