A replica of Cnut of Northumbria (c. 900 - 905).

Copper alloy metalworking debris. Two small [lengths 67.6mm and 22mm] fragments of off-white and relatively lightweight skim from the early stages of metalworking. The larger fragment bears two longitudinal grooves of width 10.5mm which may show where the spillage has congealed over a pair of long objects. The smaller fragment appears to have solidified in the corner of a straight-sided trough. Similar to associated NLM-87C967 except these fragments have preserved the partial forms of objects which they came into contact with as they solidified. Associated with a group of other copper …

Grey oyster shell fragment. A small chip from the bottom half of a bivalve oyster. Oysters were introduced to the British diet by the Romans and remained a popular food, especially for the poor or abstinent, until post-medieval times. The cachet of oysters as a luxury food is of relatively recent origin. If not archaeological, this fragment may be an ancient fossil fragment of Geological date – a possible inference from its grey tint and hardness. Suggested date: Unknown, possibly Roman to Medieval, 43-1500 Length: 28.7mm, Weight: 3.06gms
