Description: | Two cast copper alloy vessel fragments from separate vessels, probably Medieval in date. It is likely the smaller fragment originates from a cooking vessel such as a cauldron, whereas the larger fragment may form part of an ewer or skillet. The smaller fragment is thicker walled, has a pronounced everted rim and has traces of sooting on the external surface; it measures an approximate 14 cm rim diameter and is 5.63 mm thick at rim and 1.89 mm thick wall. The larger fragment is finer in fabric and decoration with circumferential ridges on the interior and exterior walls and a slightly flared rim; its approximate rim diameter measures 15.5 cm and is 2.61 mm thick at rim and 1.62 mm thick vessel wall. Their total weight is 18.13 grams.Based upon ceramic dating from secure contexts, Egan (1998, pp161-164) identifies cast copper alloy vessel fragments such as these to various phases ranging from c. 1150-1450 AD.
