| The only eating utensil
recovered so far is an incomplete pewter spoon, the end of its stem
and about half the bowl missing. Its surface is uneven due to corrosion.
The rats tail stem has a flat base and rounded upper surface and
extends for c. 1 inch over the back of the spoon. Since this item
was found in association with lead shot, gunflints and chips, it
has been suggested that it might have been altered to serve as a
powder scoop. |
