Object type: QUERN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of grey lava quern stone, preserving approximately 25% of the original diameter. Part of one edge is perserved with flattened, curved outer surface and flat top and bottom surfaces. The base(?) of the quern is flat and with no decoration or evidence of a grinding surface. The top(?) has a flattened rim, the remainder being worn and slightly concave towards the now missing centre of the object, probably as a result of use-wear. The stone itself is grey, relatively hard and compact with some large quartz inclusions. It measures 27.6mm in length, 128.01mm in width, 55.48mm in …

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A possible fragment of Neolithic polished axehead, the fabric of which is possibly a greenstone with micaceous or quartz inclusions. It measures 55.69x57.40x23.84mm and weighs 72.4g. The object is broken on all edges with one polished face, showing a fault line and a line of iron staining/ residue. The curvature of the object seems possibly a little too round for an axehead, and Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen comments (from images only) that in this case it could possibly be part of a broken macehead. Dr Kevin Leahy also suspects that this is not a axehead as its section lacks sym…

Record ID: SOM-D61D44
Object type: GRINDSTONE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Sandstone rotary grindstone, probably of Medieval or Post Medieval date. About 40% of the stone remains, it was a sub circular disk with a hole drilled through the centre. On the remaining fragment the maximum width between the central hole and edge is 60.9mm and the minimum 45.4mm. It appears it was flat on both sides with a flat outer edge although it is now badly pitted. It is 128mm by 68mm across, 59.4mm thick and weighs 530 grams. The stone has been examined by Dennis Parsons who gave his opinion that it is a sandstone with mica and from a non-Somerset source. Although similar …
