Description: | A body fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel. The body fragment is a sub-trapezoidal in plan, with all the edges being broken. The breaks are not recent. The fragment is slightly curved in profile. The exterior surface is rough with linear striations. The interior is quite smooth. The surface of the fragment has a dark grey coloured patina. The fragment measures 65.39mm wide, 39.25mm tall and 3.75mm thick. It weighs 30.9g. 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 Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Unpublished) suggests such vessels were used from the mid 13th to 16th centuries. Butler and Green (2003 English Bronze Cooking Vessels and Their Founders 1350-1830 Acanthus Press) comment cooking vessels can date up to the mid 18th century.
