Description: | Perforated object, pebble hammer/ macehead. A small but complete example of a perforated 'pebble' (though in the present case the stone may be artificially shaped). The perforation is of the usual 'hour glass' shape shape, probably formed by pecking from both sides. Diameter of perforation 11-12mm. The stone is not the usually encountered quartzite but has dark, sometimes crystalline, specks in a buff matrix -probably a buff- and may be a glacial erratic or an improt from northern England. Few of these objects have been found in closed contexts and those that have seem to range from the Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age. 72x53x25mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
