During the Roman period chopping tools such as cleavers were predominantly used whilst during the medieval period knives and cleavers were the preferred tools for butchering carcasses. Cleavers were also often depicted in medieval art as having riveted handles. Such handles made a cleaver more durable, whilst using steel as a component of the blade made it last longer. -

In medieval Southampton, jugs and cups were found in great number and were the most common forms of Tudor green ware. They were small and plain, and possibly used for drinking rather than serving and therefore can be classified as drinking jugs (or mugs).
