Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy medieval or post-medieval (AD 1300-1600) strainer or skimmer, broken along all of its edges. It measures 32.9mm long, 26.7mm wide and 0.8mm thick. It weighs 2.66g. The fragment is broadly rectangular in shape with a rough grid of circular perforations (only two of which are complete). Skimmers were used in cooking to remove items from the stew pot while strainers probably had a use as a drain filter. Cf. HAMP-D60555, NMS-F1F7D5 and WILT-B5D0C2, and Egan 1998; p.158 fig.127.
