Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Four fragments of copper alloy metal working debris, probably dating to c. AD 1500-1700 by association with other material in the vicinity. The fragments are irregular in size and shape, with three fragments collectively weighing 86.76g, and with the fourth weighing in excess of 200g. A small sample of a larger body of similar material found on the same site, a number of Post-Medieval pot legs have also been found in the vicinity (DEV-7F1E00, DEV-7F00E7, DEV-7EED86, DEV-7E790C) possibly suggesting activity relating to foundaries and the recycling of copper alloy.
