Description: | Ten fragments of casting slag. The fragments are of mixed composition, most appear to be copper alloy but some probably have a high tin/lead content as they are silvery in appearence. They have been cmpletely melted and some show evidence or having cooled on a smooth but curved surface, possibly a crucible or furnace bowl. The fragments weigh in total 162 grams. Metal working debries are hard to date precisely but the high lead/tin ratio in some of these pieces may suggests a Roman or later date rather than a prehistoric use. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
