Description: | A possible Medieval or Post Medieval (AD 1300-1700) strainer or skimmer: The copper alloy fragment is broken along all of its edges and has circular perforations of two sizes, one is 4.34mm diameter, and the remaining complete 6 are 3.06mm diameter. The surface is abraded and corroded. It measures 22.39mm long, 20.05mm wide and 2.31mm thick. It weighs 1.4g.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. Evidence from excavations in London suggests that most of these artefacts probably date from later Medieval to early post Medieval period (see Egan 1998: 155-158).Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office
