MULLER
Unique ID: NLM-74889D
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey-green stone possible muller. A rounded possibly water-rolled pebble with a dull and speckled surface appearance, possibly with worn and in one case slightly concave faces, well-adapted to hold in the hand. This object was recovered as distinctively different from the local stones, and as such is probably a manuport [i.e. brought to the site by human agency]. Such stones might be retrieved as glacial erratics, and lent themselves to uses as rubbers, grinders and burnishers. They are noted particularly from contexts between the Iron Age and the Early Medieval period, though as a field find this piece lacks any contextual association. Suggested date: Unknown, Iron Age to Early Medieval, 800BC-AD1000.
