Description: | Copper alloy scoop. Cast D section rod with one rounded end lightly expanded with a longitudinal groove of length 32mm and depth 2.2mm; the other end is lost. Casual decoration or, more likely, a grip, is provided by crudely incised diagonal and crossing incised lines on the flat surface of the rod, possibly executed initially as a group resembling Roman numerals IIIV with shallower additions; a further two deep oval cuts appear on the opposite side next to the broken end. The object is smoothed by wear and handling and has been twisted to a spiral form, necessarily with considerable force. The finder identifies this object as a marrowbone scoop. The crudely hatched grip is a feature of various improvised post-medieval implements including apple corers made of bone. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1800.Length (as found): 122.3mm, Width: 9.5mm, Thickness: 6.3mm, Weight: 34.54gms.
