At the Nieuwe Groenmarkt a clock-shaped red earthenware object was found. Height 29 cm, diameter 24 cm, diameter mouth 10 cm, contents 5,25 liter. This object is only glazed on the outside and has little holes in the rim. The object can be dated to the second halve of the 17th century. Who knows what this object is and what it was used for ?

At Huis ter Kleef a clock-shaped turned, massive piece of willow wood was found which was drilled through. In this drill there was a ash core. The top of this clock-shaped object was propped up with an iron ring. Close to this object two pieces of ash wood were found which probably belonged to the stick. This object can be dated to the second halve of the 16th century. This object appeared to be the (revolving) knob of a hand-drill. The big knob must be seen 180° turned.
