Description: | Medieval/ post medieval copper alloy vessel foot, 56mm long, 32mm wide and 12mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 54.27grams.The object is oval in cross section and rectangular in form. It has tapering sides down to a rounded foot and a damaged upper surface.These can be difficult to date as they were used over a long period. Egan (1998) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. According to Butler, Green and Payne (2009), "From about AD 1100, cast copper alloy vessels...were commonly used for downhearth cooking, with the vessel sitting among the embers or suspended over the fire. All but the poorest medieval or post-medieval households would have had at least one metal cooking vessel....These vessels gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superseded by cast iron pots...".
