本文列举了公元1200年至1500年中世纪英国手工纺纱的考古证据。陶瓷，石头和烤粘土主轴螺纹占主导地位的挖掘发现，但一个新的语料库的铅合金主轴螺纹，记录通过便携式文物计划和苏格兰宝库，在这里提出。分析了金属螺纹的分布、制造、年代和装饰，阐明了它们使用的广泛的社会和经济背景。从虔诚的纺纱工的死亡纪念品到代表色情八卦的性强力物品，无处不在的纺锤螺纹是一种具有强大代理力的通用工具。这些文物是体现日常生活的小发现，但也与中世纪晚期和晚期更广泛的国民经济有关。
THIS PAPER EXAMINES the archaeological evidence for hand spinning in medieval Britain from c 1200 to c 1500. Ceramic, stone and baked clay spindle whorls have dominated the excavated finds, but a new corpus of lead-alloy spindle whorls, recorded through the Portable Antiquities Scheme and Scottish Treasure Trove, is presented here. Analysis of the metal whorls’ distribution, manufacture, dating and decoration is provided, illuminating the wide social and economic contexts in which they were used. From memento mori of pious spinners to sexually potent objects representative of lubricious gossips, the ubiquitous spindle whorl was a universal tool that had a powerful agency. The artefacts are small finds embodying daily life but also tie into the wider national economy of the High and Late Middle Ages.
