Copper alloy oil lamp fragment. A hollow unit comprising a bevelled circular concavo-convex top with round central aperture, crimped around a cylindrical base with constricted and torn lower edge. A rod passing between the two retains a cog with eight triangular teeth. Turning the rod, the teeth engaged the fabric wick of an oil lamp to enable it to be lowered or raised, and the brightness of light to be regulated. This component would be situated between an oil reservoir below and the mantle and lampshade above. Such lamps would use whale oil, a major product of Hull. Suggested date:…

An incomplete possible copper alloy lamp hanger dating to the Medieval period, (AD 1100-1500). The object has a circular head with a large circular perforation. There is one long arm that extends from the circular head and curves back on itself to a rounded hook. The remaining arm slighly expands and flares towards the hook end. Extending from the head in the two opposing corners are now damaged and broken terminals that would have presumably extended to two further arms with hooks at the end. The object has a corroded mid brown coloured patina. A similar complete example re…

Copper alloy item of uncertain use, probably a candle or lamp holder and of uncertain date, possibly Roman or Medieval. The item appears almost complete and is made of four copper alloy pieces. At one end is a conical socket with an open end and a triangular gap down one side where the triangular sheet piece was rolled into a socket and the edges didn't fully join. It is possible this is a socket to go onto a woodern pole or handle as it does not have the more cylindrical section common on candlesticks but a function as a socket for a candle can't be ruled out. The cone is 18.8mm in d…

A copper-alloy lamp suspender of Medieval date. The artefact comprises a slightly domed, irregular plate, from which spring the remains of five perforated lugs. The hanger extends vertically upwards from the top of this plate and is of oval section, with a collar beneath its worn apex loop. Height: 14.6mm; length: 20.1mm; width: 16.3mm. weight: 3.03g. Similar artefacts have been found in excavations in London and are discussed by Egan (1998: 130 - 133). Their interpretation as lamp hangers is based on evidence provided by contemporary illustrations, along with the fact that s…
