Object type: ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

Object type: FLOOR TILE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Chalk floor tile fragment. A flat slab of chalk, smoothed by wear on its upper and lower sides, and probably broken on all other sides; dark grey burning traces on one of these edges might indicate the position in which this object was reused along with other rubble in the construction of a flue shaft, with the discoloured part exposed to the hot air flow. The smoothing of both the upper and lower surfaces may suggest the slab had been inverted in the course of a prolonged primary use, during or after which it was broken. Other finds suggest a firm Roman date for both the primary and …

Object type: QUERN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dense fine-grained reddish-buff Sandstone possible quern fragment, chipped and burnt across all surfaces. A thick lump of non-local stone recovered from a reuse context where it formed an element in a lining, wall or footing made up of reused materials; three fragments more securely identifiable as from two other rotary querns accompanied this object, though these were made from stones of lesser density. This is possibly a fragment representing a third quern in this group. The measurements of the chunk cannot firmly identify its height were this identification sustained; i.e. the orie…

Record ID: NLM-81319E
Object type: QUERN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained buff Sandstone with very occasional grey flint inclusions (of lengths 3-8.5mm), now variably reddened by burning on all surfaces, from reuse as building material or flue-lining; two rotary quern fragments, probably from the same stone. An effectively vertical curved outer edge on the larger fragment permits estimation of its original diameter of 340mm. Rough concave hollows, typically of diameter 10-25mm, mark pecking extending to its adjacent upper and lower surfaces. These hint at a lightly plano-convex form for the stone. However, no smoothed grinding surfaces appear o…

Record ID: NLM-806EC6
Object type: QUERN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained compacted buff Sandstone rotary quern fragment, perhaps comprising a little under a quarter of the original conical to hemispherical top stone of a pair, and of an estimated diameter of 210mm. The function is indicated by a relict part of its flat smoothed lower working surface, of length 131mm and width 55mm. Opposite this, on the upper part of the stone, a narrow relict smoothed zone of length 65mm and width 15mm includes a descending curve on its inner edge, marking a central feed hole. This may suggest that the external surface of the stone, or at least that part near…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained compacted Sandstone, whetstone. A short bar hone of originally rectangular section, reduced to oval section towards one end by heavy wear. All four sides are lightly dished towards their centre by this use. The flat ends suggest the object is complete. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Length: 59.3mm, Width: 26.9mm, Thickness: 19.2mm, Weight: 61.33gms

Object type: ROTARY QUERN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained compacted Sandstone rotary quern fragment. The upper stone from a large rotary quern, chipped with loss of over half its fabric. The damage includes the removal of large flakes or chunks from the upper surface, and subsequent reddening of the exposed fracture surfaces by burning. The former could relate to the deliberate 'killing' of the object, a behaviour often sought in prehistoric contexts investigated by controlled excavation, while the latter might arise from its subsequent incorporation into a hearth or oven - a pattern of reuse often found in areas devoid of good …

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A stone hone of unknown date. The sub-rectangular hone is slightly waisted in the centre and is probably incomplete. It is made from a brown hard mud or siltstone with fine grains and is smooth to touch. The sides of the hone have silvery inclusions and black markings that are not present on the front or back face. The hone tapers in thickness at one end and has a circular perforation (diameter is 5.5mm) that has been drilled from both faces. One face has much more wear than the other with worn grooves and marks. The surviving length is 90.8mm, the width is 33.3mm, the thickness is 20.…
