Title SUMMARY REPORT FOR MONOGRAPH The stone objects
Description Most of the stone objects from Hornsea have been made from locally available stone types, such as the Lias limestone and the sandstone, as well as the diorite saddle quern, which has been made from a boulder and therefore probably originated as a glacial erratic. The whetstones appear to have been locally sourced in an ad-hoc fashion, making use of cobbles, rather than the importation of finely made tools. Some of the querns are from more distant sources. The quern of Spilsby sandstone, for example, was probably produced some 40km to the south of Hornsea and the Millstone Grit querns and millstones some 100km or more to the west in Derbyshire. However, both rock types were commonly used for querns in Lincolnshire during the Roman period so their recovery here is to be expected.
