Description: | Three post medieval (1500 - 1700) copper alloy sheet repairs for metal or ceramic vessels. Two of the sheet repairs are conjoined. Each repair is irregular in plan and cross section and would originally have been formed from a single sheet rolled into a cone and inserted through the damaged area or tear in the metal or ceramic vessel. The cone would then have been crushed against the vessel to form a water tight repair. This form of repair is relatively common in late medieval and post medieval urban contexts. The metal repairs measure 22.4mm length, 15.6mm width, is 10.8mm thick and weighs 6.12 grams; the other repair measures 15.7mm length, 18mm width is 11.6mm thick and weighs 8.81 grams. Each of the repairs is a bright brass yellow colour with no visible green patina present. The colour of these objects is likely to be du to them being deposited in running water. There is a brown concreated sediment around some areas of the repairs.
