Description: | A globular and very burnt fragment of copper-alloy resultant from metal working. It has one globular knop with concave collar that resembles a complete object, such as a brooch knop, but this has clearly been exposed to very high temperatures and the precise form of the original object remains uncertain. This fragment measures 24.72mm in length, 22.70mm in width, 13.65mm in maximum thickness, and weighs 14.23g. It is of uncertain Roman or later date and probably hints at the active re-use of metal objects, or at least their exposure to high temperatures, on the site. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
