Copper vessel
Comment
Three large and 15 small fragments of a thin-walled cu alloy vessel. The largest fragment is from the base of the vessel with a shallow portion of the wall still attached in places. This fragment measures a maximum of 120.5mm x 99.0mm in diameter. It is flat and the remainder of one edge indicates a circular shape, 0.9mm think and weighing 32.0g. Two other large fragments derive from the walls of the vessel and are gently curved. They measure a maximum of 84.7mm x 41.0mm and 77.7mm x 30.5mm and weigh 9.0g and 6.5g respectively. Both are 0.9mm thick.
From the curvature of the edge of the base, it is estimated that the base would have been approximately 12cm in diameter. The curvature of the wall fragments suggests maximum diameter of approximately 15cm for the bowl, tapering inwards slightly towards the rim.
The fragments are all undecorated though one tiny fragment may have been coated with a silver metal
The vessel is likely to be Iron Age or Roman in date
