Description: | Possible hone or polishing stone used to polish and sharpen metal blades and objects. The stone is a fine grained sedimentary rock and is mid-grey in colour. The stone is sub-rectangular in shape with one extremely smooth and flat face. The stone weighs 67.67g and measures 102.7mm in length, 23.65mm in width and 15.28mm in thickness. The stone was found in association with roman finds but this does not give a definitive date. Similar examples of hone stones can be seen in 'Finds from Medieval York' by Ottaway & Rogers, page 2796. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
