Description: | Copper alloy possible Metal Working Debris. Partially melted object of square section - c.5mm wide and thick - and stepped form, possibly a key bit, though of uncertain date. The distortion and melting of the object would be unlikely to occur adventitiously given its material, and indicates this object to have been caught up in a high temperature process. This might have been an episode of recycling, but it may equally have been incorporated in a cremation pyre. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1800.Length: 26.3mm, Width: 20mm, Thickness: 5.1mm, Weight: 9.67gms.
