Description: | Cast-copper alloy fragment, possibly from a medieval or post-medieval vessel. Mass: 48.8g; extant length: 39.2mm; width: 23.6mm; depth: 13.2mm. The fragment consists of a rounded terminal with a transverse rib at one end. The fragment has a sub-D-shaped section and the end of the transverse rib id broken. The break is not recent. The surface has a pitted green surface, although it may be partially sooted as there are some black deposits on the surface (not on the break) which suggests that this may have been from a cooking vessel. 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.
