Description: | Copper alloy casting waste. The waste is a sprue or jet from a moulded object. The sprue is an inverted conical which is sub-circular in section. The tip is flattened and enlarged. The sprue has a heavy brown patina, and measures 33.62mm long, 24.84mm wide and weighs 46.53g.
Phil Watson (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) comments the sprue is likely to date to the Bronze Age due to the nature of the patina and its shape. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -2150
