UNKNOWN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Unknown artist
An unidentified stone object which is cylindrical and is 13.7mm long, with a diameter of 18.9mm. It is made of a fine grained sand stone like rock which has been cut smoothly to shape. One end of the cylinder is perfectly flat, but the other end is concave. The edges are straight, but there is some damage to the corners. The object is clearly man made but the function and date are not obvious. One possibility is a miniature mortar or a gaming piece. It has not been possible to find a parallel.
