Archaeology — Late Medieval; late 14th century
Leather, shoe
Pointed shoe fastened by a strap and buckle. This shoe has quite a modest point - other shoes of this 'poulaine' type had very long points which had to be stuffed with moss to keep their shape. Medieval shoes were made by 'cordwainers' (the word comes from 'cordwain', or 'cordovan', the name for the leather made in Córdoba, Spain). TL74[275]<2010> and TL74[275]<2011> are part of the same shoe.
