Description: | A Medieval to Post-Medieval spoon fragment (AD 1400-1900). The spoon is probably made of lead alloy; the metal appears flaky, suggesting the metal has a high tin content. The fragment consists of an almost complete, deep oval spoon bowl, with a protruding portion of the stem at one end; a fragment has broken off in antiquity from this side of the bowl. The spoon is undecorated on both sides; there is a raised elongated oval on the reverse, where the stem has been attached to the bowl.It measures 26.8 mm in length, 15.2 mm wide, 2.5 mm thick and weighs 2.8 g.The small proportions of the spoon bowl, indicate its use as a possible teaspoon. Objects of this type are very difficult to date due to their long period of use and similar manufacturing techniques.
