Object type: MULLER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Stone muller or rubber, oval in plan and oblong in profile and section, made from a fine-grained granite beach cobble. The general grain size is about 0.5 to 1 mm with phenocrysts of quartz, feldspar and clusters of biotite up to 3 mm in length (Dr Roger Taylor pers comm). Both faces of the stone are flat and polished through use, suggesting that it was likely used as a rubbing stone or muller, perhaps within a quern to grind grain. The granite contains pale felspar, which is soft, and the dark inclusions are biotite, which is hard, creating an undulating surface which is better for g…

One end of the stone tapers to a curved edge and the opposite end is broken, exposing th…

Fragment of a stone muller or rubber, sub-triangular in plan, and sub-rectangular in profile and section. The stone is derived from a schorl rock which is metasomatically altered granite composed of quartz and black tourmaline schorl.

The upper surface and the base of the stone are both flat and polished through use, suggesting that it was likely used as a rubbing stone or muller, perhaps within a quern to grind grain. The outer edge of the stone is curved and the two other sides are broken, ex…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete coarse greisen saddle quern with a worn concave central reservoir, and one remaining built up edge, through use as a quern or grain mortar. The other edges of the quern have been lost and this may be because the stone was dressed in more recent times in order to re-use it for building material. Similar to other saddle querns found around the county on Bronze Age sites, such as Trethellan, Newquay, where several varied examples were found, the closest in form illustrated in Nowakowski (1991) on pages 144 & 146, Figs.59-60, Nos.92 & 94 from the Middle Bronze Age round house 2…

A worn and incomplete copper alloy heraldic horse harness banner dating to the medieval period. The banner is in the form of a flag, with the hollow 'flag-pole' enabling the banner to be mounted on a rod and swivel freely.

Incomplete greisen cup-marked stone, sub-square in plan and profile and plano-convex in section. The convex face has three dimples that are 25 mm in diameter, in a circular arrangement, which run up to the broken edges on both sides, suggesting that there were more cup-marks on the missing piece. The underside of the stone has been damaged with two deep linear grooves in a cross formation that reveals the quartz beneath the weathered and soiled surface. These cup-marked decorated stones are generally dated from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age because they are sometimes asso…

Incomplete and badly distorted copper alloy sheet either from a medieval buckle with a composite rigid plate or from a composite strap end with a forked spacer. There are two rivet holes and a grooved aperture at the concave inside or attachment edge. The other end is missing.
