Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy late Medieval to early Post- Medieval skimmer or strainer plate. Originally a circular piece of copper alloy sheet, part of the curved edge remains and the other edges have old breaks. Eight holes were punched into it from one side in a seemingly regular pattern. All but two are full of soil or metal corrosion products. It has broken across two other holes. The length is 26.1mm, width 20.8mm, thickness 1.6mm and weight 2.07 grams.Similar to no. 440 in Egan (1998, 158) where they are dated to the 14th to 16th century AD. Skimmers were used in cooking to remove items from the stew pot while strainers probably had a use as a drain filter, WILT-B5D0C2 on this database is a more complete example.
