Object type: POLISHER
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Stone rubber or polisher. A fine-grained Sandstone chunk, possibly half of an originally cylindrical object, with smooth curved sides and flat top with one groove near its edge. The other two adjacent flat sides are both slightly ridged or grooved in the same direction, with about four ridges or grooves passing across that face which preserves these details best. In its present form, the object sits well in the hand if either of the flat faces are used. The improvised use of rubbers and sharpeners and polishers extends from Prehistory, through the Roman period and into the Early Mediev…

Object type: ROOF TILE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Red-buff fine grained Sandstone roof tile fragment, with one or two sides side probably as made and implying a rhomboid form, the others broken. One side is redder than the other, perhaps from use as part of a hearth. Stone roof tiles were available from the Roman period onwards and presumably arrived via the River Trent. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Length: 56mm, Thickness: 14.6mm, Weight: 47.98gms

Object type: QUERN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Sandstone quern fragment. A sub-triangular chunk of fine grained red-buff Sandstone, possibly reused as a sharpening stone. The overall form includes a short [40mm] extent of a curved edge, and an aris where two flat surfaces meet at an acute angle opposite the curved side; the intervening surface is flat and probably lightly dished by wear, the fourth large side is broken. These characteristics could point to this being a fragment of a rotary quern of estimated original diameter 260mm. The Romano-British period also saw the use of a wide range of sharpening and polishing stones, which…

Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained pale Limestone game piece. A probably lathe-turned concavo-convex counter with a worn concentric pattern on its lightly concave display side. A similar form resulted from the improvised making of counters from small pot bases, and also from slices of turned bone or antler. These pieces would be used for board games like tabula [related to backgammon]. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Diameter: 27.6mm, Thickness: 9.6mm, Weight: 10.10gms

Object type: QUERN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lava quern fragment. A wedge-shaped fragment from a quern stone, rounded by abrasion. One flat face is smoother than the other – though not by much – marking the working side of the stone. The rounded form at the broader end of the fragment may suggest a biconical or hourglass feed hole set centrally to the pair of stones whence this fragment derives. Lava from Eifel in Western Germany was exploited to make quern stones from the Roman period, and these were also the subject of trade between Carolingian Europe and England in the early 9th century. Suggested date: Roman, 43-4…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Stone possible roof tile fragment. Fine grained possibly oolitic Limestone, probably burnt to a pink tint, possible roof tile fragment. Abraded. A coating on part of one flat side might represent a plaster torching, a coating applied to the inside surface of a roof. Stone tiles might arrive via the River Trent or Humber to be discovered here. The find spot is in general noted for intense Roman activity. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Length: 42.4mm, Thickness: 15.2mm, Weight: 42.23gms
