Small fine igneous rock ball, probably greenstone but awaiting geological comment by Roger Taylor. The ball is circular in plan and ovate in profile and section, with pecking all over the upper surface and a flattened base, perhaps through grinding or hammering. Such pieces do turn up on domestic sites but not in any quantity compared to mullers and rubbers. On these objects the waterworn cobble surfaces are all fresh and unweathered, appropriate for selection from a beach during the Neolithic. The beach selection would ensure hard enduring pieces. It is quite possible that the wear o…
