Fine Grained Compacted Sandstone Cobble
Possible rubber fragment or Muller. Fragment of stone with fairly flat upper and lower surfaces, one curved edge and one broken edge. The flattest surface is not so smooth as to permit identification as a quern fragment, and nor is the curve of the edge entirely regular, though a use as an improvised rubber in the finishing of leather or other craft work is possible. Such ephemeral objects are most commonly identified from Roman and Early Medieval contexts, though a wider date range is possible. Suggested date: Roman to Early Medieval, 40-1050.
Length: 136mm, Width: 74mm, Thickness: 37mm, Weight: in excess of 500gms.
