Description: | A body fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel. The body fragment is a sub-rectangular in plan, with all the edges being broken. The breaks are not recent. The fragment is slightly curved in profile. The exterior surface slightly rough and has patches of a brown green patina, the interior is similar but is a consistent dark grey colour. The fragment measures 31.04mm wide, 22.34mm tall and 4.29mm thick. It weighs 13.3g. It is uncertain what type of vessel this fragment comes from, but Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Unpublished) suggests such vessels were used from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
