Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1250 - c. AD 1650). Length: 40.2mm; width: 51.9mm; thickness: 3.6mm; weight: 24.93g. The fragment is a rim sherd of a large thin-walled vessel. Inside the rim the surface is flat and the outer part of the rim expands slightly to form a lip.This fragment has a mottled matt-green patina overall. However, the outer face has blemishes of a black substance which is probably consolidated soot. The breaks are old and abraded. Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001, 52).
