Stone: Moderately compacted sandstone with occasional black flecks, perhaps from Coal Measures (non-specialist identification by MF). Beehive Quern top stone. Carved plano-convex top stone fragment from a beehive quern; about one half of the stone remains, having broken across the feeder hole and, apparently, two handle holes - one presumably replaced the other. The top of stone has been flattened, albeit at an eccentric angle to the lower flat working surface. A broad hopper of estimated diameter 110mm narrows to meet the lower part of an hour-glass shaped feeder chan…

Object type: PENCIL
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Slate Pencil fragment. Fragment of a rod of purple-grey slate, rounded by use at one broken end; the other end (now lost) would often be flattened to serve as an eraser. Like the related drawing slate, this would be a familiar part of later 19th-century schoolroom equipment. Suggested date: Modern, 1850-1920.

Stone, Volcanic Tufa (non-specialist identification by MF) polished axehead. One end of a polished stone axe, broken short of its mid-point with a large chip spalled from the break in antiquity. Of oval section with a well-preserved cutting edge which bears two small chips. Though the colour is now brown overall this is probably staining from the sandy local soil. Small chips of recent damage reveal a grey-green colour suggesting this to be a Group 6 axe from Langdale Pike, Cumbria. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100 BC. Length: 49mm, Width: 47.7mm, Thickness: 23.6mm, Weight: 6…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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, 40-105…

Grey stone, possibly limestone (non-specialist identification by MF) possible rubber. An irregular cobble of handy size, with one flattened surface.
