Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead-alloy pilgrim's ampulla. The body is rounded and has no visible decorationon either side. Both handles are missing and the top has been broken off. What remains of the neck had been heavily damaged, pinched shut and folded in some places. Ampulla are known from the late 12th century as a popuar way of carrying a blessed item, in this case water, upon the person. Pilgrim badges in the early 14th century began to perform a similar function, but the use of ampullae is thought to have continued in use to the end of the 15th century.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Knowsley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Unidentified decorated object. The object has a rounded triangular head which is decorated, possibly depicting a skull. The back of this portion has two small circular depressions which could have been used in the mountint of the object. Below this, the object projects downwards from the bottom of the triangle and then forward at 90 degrees. The section projecting forward seems to have been snapped, but the patina suggests this is not a new break. The object is symmetrical, decorated on either side of the forward projection with a series of concentric circles.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy leg, possibly from medieval or post-medieval cooking pot or cauldron. The leg has two moulded furrows running vertically down the front face. The reverse of the object is flat, and where the object may have joined on to the main vessel there is a third face which is concave to fit the face of the vessel. Cast coppor alloy vessels became popular from c. AD1100, and gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superseded by cast-iron pots and by saucepans designed for use on kitchen ranges.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Body fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel / skillet / cauldron of probably medieval date (c.AD 1200-1700). The fragment is part of the main body of the vessel. Its form is mostly flat but has a slight curvature. It has a dark brown / dark green patina. Bronze cooking vessels were expensive to purchase and so repairs were often made to the vessel when it became broken. Vessel legs broke more often than the body of the vessel and were readily replaced, this is why so many vessel legs are recorded on the PAS database and so few body sherds or large fragments of …
