Is that a screw in the lower left-hand photo? If so, I'm amazed. I had no idea that screws per see went back that far.
oh, good spot! :) Yes, seems an early one: in use in antiquity for wine/oil presses etchttp://www.britannica.com/technology/screw …
It appears to be quite finely made, with a knurled edge on the head for hand tightening. Scare at the time, I would think.
I realize that pins, dowels, hooks, etc. go way back, but I thought that screws were a medieval invention.
