A copper-alloy vessel rim fragment of late medieval to early post-medieval dating (c. AD 1400-1700). The rim fragment is irregular, broadly sub-triangular, in plan, with a cross section which has a slightly thickened upper lip section and thins as it travels down. The rim type consists of an internally rounded lip which would arguably have sat flat. The exterior and interior surfaces are unpolished and rough. The fragment is a dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. There are possible traces of sooting below the internal under-hang of the r…

A very worn fragment from a cast copper-alloy vessel: a pot leg probably dating to the post-medieval period, c. AD 1500-1750. The leg is sub-circular to sub-rectangular in cross-section, tapering gradually, but consistently, from one to the other; it is very worn at the terminal through abrasion. There is no clear decoration on the fragment, but much of the surface is corroded. The junction of the leg with the vessel interior has a dull, mid-grey patina. Measurements: 65 mm length, up to 22 mm width; weight 81.78 g Cast copper-alloy vessels were widely used from&…

Two joining sherds from the rim of a large open bowl in a North Devon gravel-tempered fabric of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The sherd has oxidised orange surfaces and margins, and a reduced mid-grey/brown core. The rim is flared and slightly dished, with a flat, angled top and a slightly wavy outer edge. About 40 mm below the rim there is an internal ridge and at this point the wall angle changes, becoming steeper. There is a small splash of glaze beside the ridge. Measurements: 47 mm maximum height, 68 mm maximum width, weight 42.36 g overall Complete bowls of similar…

A very worn fragment from a cast copper-alloy vessel: a pot leg probably dating to the post-medieval period, c. AD 1500-1750. The leg is sub-triangular to sub-trapezoidal cross section with a flat back and an angled front. On the front there are suggestions of a central longitudinal ridge. A loss to one of the sides may have resulted in part from the leaching out of lead in the alloy during use (Naomi Payne pers. comm.) Measurements: 59 mm length, 37.5 mm width, 19 mm thickness, weight 143 g Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from AD 1200 to 1700 for serving and cooking…

A very worn fragment from a cast copper-alloy vessel: a pot leg/foot probably dating to the post-medieval period, c. AD 1500-1750. The leg is D-shaped in cross section with a flat back and a convex front. Just below an old break is a prominent and wide transverse rib. The foot is so worn through in-life use that its original form has surely been lost, leaving a rounded terminal. Measurements: 32 mm length, 25.5 mm width, 15.5 mm thickness, weight 44.03 g Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from AD 1200 to 1700 for serving and cooking.

Three lead vessel mends of uncertain date, possibly Roman given finds made in the vicinity. All three have waisted centres to accommodate the vessel wall, above and below which sub-circular tops and bases. The largest retains a small sherd of what may be a greyware. It measures 30 mm by 24 mm by 8.5 mm and weighs 39.65 g. A smaller repair may also retain a small piece of greyware. It measures 21 mm by 15 mm by 9 mm and weighs 15.36 g. No pottery is retained in the smallest repair. This measures 18 mm by 14.5 mm by 8 mm and weighs 7.65 g. Measurements: overall weight 62.66 g

A flat piece of copper-alloy sheet broadly of semicircular form, now incomplete, with two originally conical sheet rivets, now squashed to secure them. This is probably a vessel repair of medieval to post-medieval date. Small losses have occurred to the apparent semicircle on the curved edge. One of the rivets is central, with the other between this and the edge. The object has bent upwards around the breaks. Measurements: length 34.5 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 0.5 mm (at plate), 2 mm at rivet, weight 3.48 g

A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy leg and foot from a later medieval to post-medieval cooking vessel. The object is splayed at the base in a simple, out-turned, pad-like foot of now sub-oval cross-section, significantly worn at both front corners, and probably abraded at the reverse corners. The front of the foot and the leg are faceted around the central longitudinal plane, giving the fragment a five-sided cross-section, with flat reverse. The long sides of the leg appear to be heavily abraded. The break where the leg would have joined the body of the vessel is old. The fl…

A zoomorphic copper-alloy spout probably from a ewer of later medieval or early post-medieval date. The spout is tubular and terminates in a particularly well rendered dog's head with open mouth; the tube spout protrudes from the open mouth. At the other end it curves through ninety degrees downwards, and expands into a long, pointed neck where it would have joined the vessel (it is tear shaped in cross-section). The surface that would have joined is bevelled and covered in file marks; within the neck the metal has been left as cast. The dog's head has a moulded nose, prominent, sq…

The leg and foot from a post-medieval cast copper-alloy cooking vessel, probably a cauldron. The foot is triangular in cross-section with a slightly convex back and slight ridge down the centre of the front. The end of the leg is very worn and rounded, which may be the result of use wear. Retained at the top of the leg is the curved inner surface of the vessel itself, with worn edges at the breaks. It is 56.7mm long, up to 29.5mm wide and up to 17.8mm thick; it weigh 98.86 grams. Crudely made cast copper-alloy vessels were widely used from c.1100-1800 for serving and cooking. Butle…

A worn and probably miscast copper-alloy vessel fragment of medieval or post-medieval date. The piece is T-shaped in cross-section with an irregularly shaped slightly uneven 'base' which is slightly concave from end to end. This base appears to have very worn breaks around all the edges. From the probable outer side projects up a rectangular extension, 43.8mm wide, at right angles to the 'base'. This extension is flat, slightly curved when viewed from above and appears smoother on one side and irregular on the other, the outer edge (opposite the base) is irregular but rounded suggesti…

A copper-alloy foot from a fragmentary later medieval to early post-medieval cooking vessel. The object is straight at its base in the form of a simple foot of trapezoidal cross-section. It is short and broken at the attachment end where is splays out. The break is before the body of the vessel, diagonal, old and ragged.Any decoration on the front of the foot is obscured by wear and corrosion product, other than hints of a median rib. The reverse is flat and plain. The object has become corroded post deposition, and is largely a variable grey/green colour. The object is 39.5mm long…

A fragment from a later medieval to early post-medieval copper-alloy foot from a cooking vessel. The object is broken across both large flat surfaces, and may have also suffered fire damage which has distorted the form. The foot has a splayed out base in the form of a simple, out-turned, pad-like foot of trapezoidal cross-section, significantly worn across the front. Any decoration on the front of the foot is obscured by corrosion product and losses. The breaks are irregular and old. The back is flat.

A medieval to post-medieval copper-alloy vessel foot. The leg is broadly triangular in cross-section with a flat back; it is broken off just above a transverse collar with an old break. The collar is slightly wider compared to the leg. The foot is slightly flared and is hoof like. It features a prominent central ridge; and rounded mouldings flank it to each side. It measures 39.2mm by 22.7mm by 15.6mm and weighs 56.08g. Crudely made copper-alloy vessels were widely used from c.1100-1800 for serving and cooking. Butler et al.

A post-medieval cast copper-alloy vessel leg. The leg is triangular in cross-section with a flat back. The foot is significantly tapered, which may be the result of wear. It measures only 14.3mm wide at its tip. It is notably worn to both sides. The leg is decorated with five prominent longitudinal ribs, the central one the most prominent, flanked by a pair of lower ribs to each side. Retained at the top of the leg is the curved inner surface of the vessel itself, with worn edges at the breaks. The fragment has a dark-green patina where it survives with the inner surface dark grey, po…
