Object type: DISC
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Bradford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Crudely knapped sandstone disc, of unknown use mid nineteenth century or earlier. Possibly associated with hand loom use. A number of uses have been posited for these objects. One is pot lids, but this example shows no signs of burning or sooting or any effects of heat, and pot sherds would make better lids. However it does show a degree of wear as none of the knapped angles are sharp. See notes attached to LANCUM-D53456 for a discussion of the possible uses of this. Diameter 67mm, Thickness 16mm, Weight 123g.
