A rim fragment of Medieval/ Post-Medieval (1200-1800) copper alloy cooking vessel, measuring 61.58x33.71x8.36mm and weighing 39.8g. The rim is diamond-shaped in cross-section. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1800 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use later 'bronze cauldrons in general seem to have been superseded in …

An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval/ Post-Medieval (1200-1800) vessel leg from a ewer or skillet. The top of the leg is missing and the entire object has suffered for partial melting. The surviving leg measures 75.44mm in length, 30.73mm in max.width and 20.41mm in max.thickness. It weighs 114.53g. The leg is triangular in section at the base of foot, although the melting obscures this further up the leg. A fragment of the vessel itself may also survive at the top of the leg. The foot (which is the widest part) has five vertical toe-ribs to create a claw/ paw, above which is a …

A rim fragment of Medieval/ Post-Medieval (1200-1800) copper alloy vessel, measuring 98.02x87.37x0.53mm and weighing 22.4g. A (now incomplete) repair patch has been rivetted over the vessel, 2 rivets of which survive. The rivets are rectangular in form and sheet metal (apparently the same metal as the vessel and repair patch), folded concertina-style with narrow pointed ends that bend backwards to secure themselves. Constructions of this form were typically used to repair damaged copper-alloy vessels.

A rim fragment of probably Medieval/ Post-Medieval (1200-1800) copper alloy vessel, measuring 23.03x8.47x2.17mm and weighing 1.7g. The fragment is triangular in cross-section with one original edge and two broken. The original edge is this thinnest part, and thickens to the break. A decorative groove flanks the original edge. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1800 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries…
