Description: | Possible Roman palette (or mixing) stone. Weighs 125.54g and measures 74.87mm in length, 52.45mm in width and 16.81mm in thickness. The palette stone is rectangular in plan with a very smooth top and bottom surface. The top surface of the stone has a slight angle to it so that in section the stone tapers slightly at one edge. This may be an indication of wear through use on one face. The stone would have been used for grinding and mixing. Two similar examples can be seen in 'Roman Castleford, Volume I, The small finds' edited by Cool & Philo. Fig. 112, Nos. 83 & 84.
