It weighs 32.2 grams.2: measures 31.0mm in length, 22.6mm wide and 25.7mm thick. It weighs 13.7 grams.Together both pieces weigh 45.9 grams.Both pieces are consistent with the waste produced as part of the copper smelting process, which did not significantly change from the Bronze Age through the Late Medieval period.
