Description: | Circular shale core from the manufacture of armlets. On one face is a square, off-centre recess with a slight bevel and on the other is a conical indentation (type B2 (J.B. Calkin, 1953, "Kimmeridge Coal Money" - The Romano-British Shale Armlet Industry, Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society, Volume 75, pages45 - 67)). These result from the shale blank being held in place on a lathe by a chuck. Hole dimensions are 8.82 mm x 9.69 mm. | Subjects: | Shale armlet core | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hayward Trevarthen, Ciorstaidh - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
