Description: | Medieval / post medieval copper alloy vessel foot, 43mm long, 31mm wide and 6mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 60.58grams.The object is rectangular in form and cross section and it has a tapering foot which is triangular in cross section.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would have had at least one metal cooking vessel....These vessels gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superseded by cast iron pots...".
