Description: | A rim fragment from a cast copper alloy cooking vessel of late Medieval to early Post Medieval date, circa AD1400-1700. The vessel fragment is probably from a cooking vessel such as a cauldron or large posnet. The fragment is irregular in both plan and section. The exterior surface is unpolished and slightly uneven with numerous fine traverse surface scratches. The body of the vessel fragment curves gradually to the rim. A recessed line runs parallel to the rim approximately 5mm below the edge. On the interior, the rim forms a slight overhang clearly defining the rim from the body of the vessel. The interior surface of the vessel is smooth and polished. The vessel fragment is a dark grey colour on the surface with a light grey interior. The fragment is 37.75mm in height and 45.41mm in width. The thickness is 6.15mm. Weight is 37.7gA comparable rim fragment is recorded in The Finds Research Group AD700-1700, Datasheet 41, Butler, Green and Payne: 2009, fig 2a. The datasheet notes that Post Medieval metal cooking pots are not uncommon finds but their significance as strong indicators of Medieval and Post Medieval activity in an area can be easily overlooked.
