Title
Medieval:_Metal_Vessel_Fragments
Description
English: Nine fragments of sheet copper alloy vessel of probable late medieval to post medieval date (1350 - 1650). The fragments are much worn and irregular in shape; three are joined by metal rivets and another two show evidence of copper alloy rivets and associated holes. At least one fragment is from the rim of a vessel and it is likely that the fragments represent several different vessels. The three joined sheets are riveted together by rivets formed from rolled copper alloy sheet which has been fixed by hammering the ends. The body of the vessel seems to have been constructed first whilst the rim is attached afterwards using the same technology. Most of the vessel fragments are a mid black (soot stained?) green colour with an abraded patina which has corroded in places. A direct parallel has not been found, but these sheet metal fragments are common within medieval assemblages.

The largest conjoined fragments measure 73.0mm length, 57.0mm width, is 5.4mm thick at rim, 1.6mm thick at body and weighs 46.55 grams.

All the fragments have a bulk weight of 110.23 grams
