"Bara spik" : Potentialen hos arkeologiska fynd av byggnadsjärn

• Although finds of nails and fittings are common from urban, early modern archaeological sites, they are rarely used in the interpretations of the excavated buildings. These finds are often poorly documented and they seldom get preserved once the excavation report is completed. This means that the finds in many cases cannot be used in future research projects. In this article, we discuss the potential of these types of artefacts in research on early modern buildings and house construction. We furthermore discuss what would be required in the handling of the material in order for it to be used as a general resource.
