Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two pieces of copper-alloy casting waste. They are both slightly concave as though they have fomed on a surface. Though with irregular sides both are broadly of quadrilateral form. Both surfaces of both pieces are rough with cooling lines suggesting they were formed from molton metal. The pieces are not distinctive and could be of any date from the Bronze Age onwards although they are evidence for specialist, high temperature, metal working.
