Notes:
NOTES: Egan (1998) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. Butler, Green and Payne (2009) comment that rim fragments which are found as individual fragments are likely to be from cauldrons or posnets. These vessels are in use from c1100 until c1850 when cast iron cooking vessels are used instead.
