An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval to post medieval double looped buckle, dating to the period AD c.1350-c.1650. (I want to put a later start date but have no reason as to why it should) It is incomplete insofar as the pin is missing.

Object type: QUERN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete Roman puddingstone beehive quern stone, dating to the period AD 1-150 There are a few types of Puddingstone, Green (2017) suggests that it is French and has been imported. A possible suggestion for this importation is that the stones used for this conglomerate are extremely hard, so hard over in Hertfordshire that it was very difficult to use, but due to its tough exterior, it produced almost grit free flour, therefore a much demanded product (Green 2017). French stones are earlier than Hertfordshire products, and were in fact the basis of a whole industry, as it spre…
