ON THE LAKE VILLAGE AT GLASTONBURY. 221 
132. Portion of the mouth (ext. diam. 88 mm.) of a Roman vessel of thin, hard, 
grey pottery. Found on the surface of the peat outside the palisading, near Mound 
69, 1895. 
166. A few fragments of thin grey Roman pottery, found at the base of the 
‘flood-soil,’ Mound 69. Both these Roman ‘finds’ and the leaden weight (L 22) 
represent surface objects at the time the village was abandoned, and nothing of 
Roman workmanship has yet been found on the floors of any of the dwellings. 
167. Fragment of rim of a thick pot fractured in two places through circular 
perforations. There is no evidence whatever that the holes were intended for the re- 
ception of leaden rivets. Mound 70. j 
168. Small pot, complete, but found in two pieces; thick and hand-made, with a 
bottom which is not perfectly flat. Slightly rounded sides, with straight rim. 
Height, 385 mm.; max. ext. diam., 60 mm. Rounded bottom on the inside. 
Mound 70. A somewhat similar small pot was found last year (P. 164). 
169. Pot in fragments, not yet restored ; unornamented. Mound 71. 
170. Another, ditto. Mound 71. 
A large quantity of fragments of common ware was found, as in previous years, 
but the proportional number of decorated fragments to those with no ornamentation 
was below the average this season, as was also the case last year. There was again 
a paucity of curvilinear designs, but several pieces with chevrons were found. In 
close proximity to the corn found in Mound 70, fragments of two fairly large but 
shallow bowls were found, scattered about over several square feet of ground. 
Neither can be completely restored. 
Querns. (Q.) 
42. Lower stone of a well-tooled, circular quern ; diam.,13 in, Mound 69. 
43. Rough piece of a quern. Mound 80. 
44, Rough piece of a lower stone. Mound 80. 
45. Upper stone of quern in two pieces, showing handle-hole at side. Found in 
trenching S.W. of Mound 81. 
46. Piece of anupper stone. Found in trenching S. of Mound 71. 
47. Upper stone in many fragments. Found in trenching 8. of Mound 71. 
Stone Objects. (8.) 
(Other than Spindlewhorls and Querns.) 
40. Whetstone of fine sandstone, with pronounced grooves on both faces and 
scorings indicating prolonged use. Mound 69, 
41. Slab of stone of a slaty nature with flat face and of rectangular transverse 
section ; max. thickness, 13:3 mm.; max. length, 110 mm.; max. width, 78 mm. ; 
with rounded and bevelled edges at top and bottom. Found in four pieces (now 
joined) of about equal size, outside the 8. margin of Mound 80. On one face oblique 
incisions occur, as if it had been used for sharpening purposes ; but the peculiarity 
of the object is that it has been roughly scratched with irregular squares, covering 
both faces, in chess-board fashion. Its use is at present unknown, and although it 
has been asserted that it might have been used for some game, the ‘ squares’ are 
so irregular and indefinite that such a purpose can only be vaguely surmised. 
Small rounded Pebbles, probably ‘ calculi.—One from Mound 70; one, Mound 71 ; 
one, Mound 72 ; one, W. of Mound 80. 
Whetstoncs, mostly having slightly convee faces.—One from Mound 53; seven, 
Mound 69; five, Mound 70; six, Mound 71; one, Mound 81. 
Other Stone Objects —Stone muller of somewhat spherical form, Mound 71; 
another of plano-convex section, Mound 71 ; ovoid hammer-stone, Mound 53 ; smooth 
disc of sandstone, max. diam, 59 mm., Mound 71. 
Tushs, Sc. (T.) 
12. Calcined dog’s-tooth, fractured through a perforation measuring 3°9 mm, in 
diam. Mouad 70.
