Description: | A Medieval to post-Medieval leg/foot from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel (c. 1250-1650).The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. The front is divided by a prominent horizontal rib which is situated close to a transverse break at the top. Below this rib there are four vertical ribs. A fifth rib is missing due to a break at the side. Part of the base is missing and the surviving part is flat on the underside. At the rear it is slightly concave.This object is greyish green and is mainly covered with a black substance which is probably consolidated soot. The break on the base is also covered with the same black substance.Height: 44.34mm; width: 30.24mm; thickness: 20.77mm. Weight: 84.58g.Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001: 52).Butler, Green and Payne 2009: Finds Recording Guide - Datasheet 41, p. 4, fig. 4c.
