Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy vessel fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A triangular section curving bar, expanding to an everted thickened rounded terminal at one end, broken at the other. Subsequently fiercely abraded, with more damage to the outer side of its curved form than elsewhere. The finder kindly suggests a function as a detached vessel handle. This reporter would deem the triangular section and keeled appearance more likely to point to a vessel leg. There is no trace of sooting to suggest its use on the hearth, so, if this is its leg, the putative vessel may have been an item of f…
