Some 1250 cut lengths of cast copper-alloy rod as well as a small number of waste off-cuts and swarf.

However, the majority are around 3mm in length". pot 3

Record ID: NARC-EA6D63
Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy sprue cap waster - waste from the casting process. The concaved outline of the sprue cap is quite clear and the object has a single runner. The waster is sub-oval with dimensions of 20 by 16 mm. It measures 17 mm from its top to the bottom of the runner. Such finds are common from Bronze Age metalworking sites and hoards, although they are well known from other periods also. It is rather difficult to place a date on this artefact without any additional evidence.
