Record ID: NLM-74889D
Object type: MULLER
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey-green stone possible muller. A rounded possibly water-rolled pebble with a dull and speckled surface appearance, possibly with worn and in one case slightly concave faces, well-adapted to hold in the hand. This object was recovered as distinctively different from the local stones, and as such is probably a manuport [i.e. brought to the site by human agency]. Such stones might be retrieved as glacial erratics, and lent themselves to uses as rubbers, grinders and burnishers. They are noted particularly from contexts between the Iron Age and the Early Medieval period, though as a fi…

Object type: MULLER
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Stone rubber. An irregular cobble of fine grained tan coloured compacted sandstone, smoothed by water which has exposed natural bedding planes, and probably also by use-wear and handling. One end is flattened and the form of this stone lends itself to a grip between thumb and forefinger if the flat face were to be used. This belongs to a series of improvised rubbers and smoothers whose currency was probably catholic, but which are especially associated with contexts dated to between the Later Iron Age and the Early Medieval period. A range of uses, for example as kitchen or dyestuff m…

Object type: MULLER
Broad period: UNKNOWN
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Brown fine-grained possible Sandstone muller fragment. Cobble with probably wind-blown-sand smoothing of its five irregular sides. A larger flat surface on one side may be smoothed by rubbing or grinding. The opposite side is also flat, but as a recent exposure due to the stone having split along its bedding planes. Improvised stone rubbers and grinders are particularly associated with the period between later Prehistory and the Early Medieval period, though they might of course be used before and after those dates. Suggested date: Unknown, Iron Age to Early Medieval, 800 BC - AD1100.…

Ironstone
Rubber, or alternatively a Pot Boiler, as kindly suggested by Dr Kevin Leahy. Sub-rectangular fragment of stone. Although there is no clear indication of working, the broader edge of the stone appears smoothed on one side. The utilisation of stones as rubbers and polishers is reported from Iron Age, Roman and later contexts. Suggested date: Unknown, 300 BC to AD1200.
Length: 80mm, Width: 47mm, Thickness: 16mm, Weight: 75.74gms.

Fine grained compacted brown Sandstone
Possible Muller or rubber. Triangular flat cobble fragment, smoothed on all its surfaces; two of the three long edges are markedly angled. The finder asserts this is not a local stone. Rubbers and smoothers, thought to have been used for a range of craft purposes including the grinding of vegetable matter and the finishing of leather and textiles, are recorded as stratified finds from contexts ranging in date from the Prehistoric to the Early Medieval period. This piece was presumably naturally formed, but its size would lend it to manual use a…

Fine Grained Compacted Sandstone Cobble
Possible rubber fragment or Muller. Fragment of stone with fairly flat upper and lower surfaces, one curved edge and one broken edge. The flattest surface is not so smooth as to permit identification as a quern fragment, and nor is the curve of the edge entirely regular, though a use as an improvised rubber in the finishing of leather or other craft work is possible. Such ephemeral objects are most commonly identified from Roman and Early Medieval contexts, though a wider date range is possible. Suggested date: Roman to Early Medieval, 40-105…
