Description: | An incomplete cast-copper alloy object, probably a foot or handle from a medieval or post-medieval vessel. Mass: 80.4g; length: 34.7mm; width: 34.0mm; depth: 27.7mm. The fragment has a flat D-sectioned end, possibly a foot, which tapers to a sub-oval slightly angled projection, possibly part of the leg. The projection is broken at the end. The break does not appear to be recent. Portions of the surface of the object are complete and appear to be sooted, suggesting that this is a fragment from a cooking vessel. Otherwise, the object has a pitted, green corroded surface. In "Finds Recording Guide", Geake (2001, p46) states that cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and continued at least until around 1600.
