Description: | Two pieces of copper alloy industrial waste or slag, of probable Medieval dating (11th to 15th Century).1: measures 47.4mm in length, 32.0mm wide and 9.7mm thick. It weighs 26.6 grams.2: measures 12.9mm in length, 10.6mm wide and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 2.0 grams.Together both pieces weigh 28.7 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. However these fragments are more likely to be Medieval in date, as more Medieval copper alloy finds have been found in the vicinty of these pieces. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
