Record ID: NLM-4B38C5
Object type: POLISHER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Stone polisher, as kindly identified by the finder. A sub-spherical water-rolled pebble with a pale grey surface and smooth overall, with a restricted very smooth zone of length 27mm.
