An incomplete cast copper alloy rim fragment from a copper alloy large posnet or cauldron of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (1400 - 1700 AD). The rim fragment is irregular in plan, but rectangular in cross section. The internal surface is smooth, whereas a subtle ridge is present running vertically on the exterior. A short section of rim is present at the top of the fragment and is of the rounded rim type. Not enough is present to estimate the original diameter, however the size and profile would suggest that it came from a large posnet or cauldron (See Fig 1 in But…

A fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim. The rim is internally bevelled. The rim is the only original edge remaining, all other edges demonstrate old breaks. The fragment measures 40.38mm in length, 27.17mm in width, 8.32mm thick. It weighs 52.5 grams. The shape of the rim suggests it most likely comes from a cooking vessel, however it is uncertain what type of vessel. Copper alloy cooking vessels were commonly in use during the Medieval period, from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.

An incomplete cast copper alloy probable foot / leg from a copper alloy cooking vessel of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (1400 - 1700 AD). The vessel fragment is sub rectangular in plan and sub rectangular in cross section. It consists of a straight body, with an irregular rough surface, both at the back, top and bottom. This surface is probably the result of a flaw during the casting process, resulting in fracture of the leg during use in the fire. A concave black surface patina is present at the top of the vessel foot leg, which is probably the result of time spent in…
