Title |
Roman Burnisher |
||
Description |
English: A small and roughly shaped object of Greensand Chert with a flat underside worn smooth through use. The object was found in association with Roman domestic material and may be of Roman date. The object is sub-square in plan, with a raised point in the top which has been roughly shaped to allow it to be gripped by two fingers and a thumb. The grip is not good enough to enable the stone to be lifted and must have been used to polish objects lying flat on a surface. This is supported by the fact that the underside of the object is worn smooth and flat. The object is made from greensand Chert; a hard stone used for whetstones and outcropping close to the findspot. The object is small, measuring 24.91mm x 23.67mm x 16.71mm high,and weighs 12.85g. |
