Clothing for 1420-1482: clothing hook and eyes - Where are they?

http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/D/dressfasteners.htm

The page above is for a metal finds group in England. What I see on their page is 2 pairs of 17th century hooks and eyes that look very similar to both modern hooks and eyes and those I have seen from the 15th and 16th c. What I also see is a huge gap in their items - where are the 15th century finds?
