CRUCIBLES AND MOULDS FROM COOK STREET, SOUTHAMPTON (SOU 254), HAMPSHIRE
Author(s): Justine Bayley
Fourteen clay piece mould fragments and about forty crucible fragments of Middle Saxon date were examined. The crucibles were probably all thumb pots, some with thicker walls than others. Both copper alloys and silver were melted. The moulds were too fragmentary for the objects being cast to be identified. Both upper and lower valves are represented.
