Description: | An incomplete copper alloy pot leg of medieval to post-medieval date. The object is triangular in cross-section and is L-shaped in profile. A large part of the leg survives but about half of the foot is missing due to an old break from wear or from post-depositional processes. The surface is worn with a worn break across the top.It has a light brownish grey patina. It measures 58.56mm in length, 37.7mm in width and is 10.01mm thick and weighs 90g.Copper alloy vessels were commonly used for downhearth cooking from AD1100 to the late 1700s where they were gradually phased out in favour of cast-iron pots and saucepans designed for kitchen ranges. Therefore it is difficult to closely date this object without any further archeological context.
