Record ID: NLM-6033AD
Object type: SADDLE QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained Limestone saddle quern. A neat sub-rectangular block of stepped wedge-shaped profile, worn on its upper surface with a flat base which is indented only at its thicker end. The form is Neolithic, and a saddle quern would be used with a separate cobble grinding stone to grind corn to a coarse flour, and hence marks the advent of arable farming in the area whence it was reported. The small size and flat base – the latter perhaps suggesting use on a flat surface or even a table, which would be a remarkable feature to postulate in a Neolithic settlement – are perhap…

Stone rubber. A water-rolled pebble with abundant black flecks to diameter 3mm, with one flattened sub-triangular surface. The object is of a size to fit snugly in the hand and may have been used for a grinding or polishing task using the flat face. The use of a probable Glacial Erratic for such purposes might be ascribed to Prehistory, or indeed any time up to the Viking Age, when the international supply of stone for specialist purposes was revived.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Oolitic Limestone stone shot. Pecked stone ball of a size apt to be fired by the smaller version of the Minion, which was one of the smaller guns mounted on wheeled carriages to support troops in the field. Stone shot was an early projectile derived from the similar balls made to be lobbed by catapult artillery. It would later be superseded by cast iron shot.
Stone shot was used during the Wars of the Roses (c.1450-1489) along with other projectiles, and by the armies of Henry VIII (1509-1547) and Elizabeth I (1558-1603) – though the English ships which assailed the Great Spani…

Stone polisher, as kindly identified by the finder. A sub-spherical water-rolled pebble with a pale grey surface and smooth overall, with a restricted very smooth zone of length 27mm. The use of such objects as craft tools is likely until the end of the early medieval period, though the finder opines the find-spot to be especially productive of material dated to the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age.

Quartz plough pebble. About one half of an oval quartz pebble, worn to a flat surface across its putative middle with unidirectional fine scoring marks on the flat surface. Kevin Leahy identifies such objects as plough pebbles, considering they were driven into the mould board of a plough to reduce the erosion of the wood by the heavy wear incurred during the use of a plough, with unidirectional wear patterns arising from this setting. These were first identified in Scandinavia, and their British appearance may signal a minor technological introduction by the Vikings. Suggested date: E…

Limestone spindle whorl. Plain fat limestone disc with large hole, Walton Rogers form B. The source record alludes to a large hole which may hint at an Anglo-Scandinavian date. The flat cylindrical form is common at Flixborough in a 8th-to-9th-century assemblage, and continues as a popular form into the medieval period. The mass may suggest this example could be used to spin a fine yarn. Stone whorls are much more common than lead when occupation deposits are hand-excavated. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 950-1100

Red-buff fine grained Sandstone roof tile fragment, with one or two sides side probably as made and implying a rhomboid form, the others broken.

Reddish-buff fine grained micaceous or glittering Sandstone fragment, possibly broken from a stone roof tile; all edges broken. The finder kindly notes marks on both flat sides: on the greyer side these comprise a long cross with rays projecting from its angles beside its longer bar; a similar cross with a single supplementary stroke appears on the redder side as well. The dating and significance of the markings is very uncertain, though the use of stone roof tiles might be expected from the Roman period onwards, their supply presumably depending on transport along the River Trent.

Sandstone burnt stone. One half of a river-rounded Sandstone cobble, possibly flattened by use as a rubber or hone on one side, reddened by heat which has promoted splitting on the putative flat or polished side. The use of stones to heat water – for what purpose is the topic of speculation, ranging from cooking to bathing of the better sort – is especially characteristic of the later Bronze Age. Of course, stones could be heated or incorporated into hearths and campfires and water boiled at any later date as well. Suggested date: possibly Late Bronze Age to Iron Age,…

Sandstone quern fragment. A sub-triangular chunk of fine grained red-buff Sandstone, possibly reused as a sharpening stone. The overall form includes a short [40mm] extent of a curved edge, and an aris where two flat surfaces meet at an acute angle opposite the curved side; the intervening surface is flat and probably lightly dished by wear, the fourth large side is broken. These characteristics could point to this being a fragment of a rotary quern of estimated original diameter 260mm. The Romano-British period also saw the use of a wide range of sharpening and polishing stones, which…

An irregular chunk of a dense off-white stone in which crystalline structures appear to run in two distinct planes. These are exposed at either sub-oval end as a mass of platelets set on end, with zones of a contrasting orientation on its sides exhibiting a smoother or finer-grained surface with linear striations, though still sparkling under strong lighting. It is uncertain whether this material may originate from veins in the local chalk geology, or from an imported building stone. The texture of the material appears, however, too friable for any sculptural use. It wa…

This object might have been used as an improvised line weight though, with a lesser density than lead, a small stone chip would lose the mass of the water it displaced when submerged, and would be inherently less satisfactory.

Dark grey metamorphic polished stone axe fragment. A chip identified by the finder as from a stone axe of darker metamorphic rock than the familiar Group VI axe-heads, from imported elsewhere in western Britain. Three long thin parallel flakes have been struck from the dorsal side by probably bipolar working [i.e. from both ends] leaving a concave ventral surface. This pattern of working would usually commend a later Mesolithic date, though the use of part of an axe may extend that date range into the early Neolithic. Another small fragment of similar stone has been reported from the v…

Stone roof tile fragments. Four fine-grained fissile sandstone roof tile fragments, with opposed flat surfaces; only one of the smaller triangular fragments bears any evidence for water-rolling. These might be Collyweston-type rooftile fragments. The riparian location would make their transport up the Trent to arrive at this site by boat a possibility. Kindly identified by Wallace Collyer of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research Group. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Medieval, 43-1500
Thickness: 16mm, 11.6mm, 18mm and 14mm; Combined Weight: c.345gms
