Description: | Probable Medieval or Post Medieval (. 1100 until c. 1850) cooking vessel fragment: The copper alloy fragment is sub semi-circular in plan, with a broken obliquely angled lower edge. The break is quite recent. In the centre of this edge is an incomplete sub-circular perforation which would be where the handle or chain would be suspended from. Both faces have the hole being slightly counter-sunk. The fragment has heavy deposits of carbon build-up. Otherwise the fragment has a dark green/grey patina. It measures 15.2mm long, 21.27mm wide and 7.28mm thick. It weighs 9.9g.The fragment is from a type of cooking vessel, some of which were suspended by chains. Egan (1998) illustrates a suspended cooking vessel with similar suspension loops, Figure 146, and Figure 137. These types of objects tend to date to the Medieval and early Post Medieval periods, c. 1100 until c. 1850 when cast iron cooking vessels are used instead.Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office
