REPORT ON WORKED STONE FROM MAWGAN PORTH, CORNWALL.
Author(s): F E S Roe
The excavations at Mawgan Porth produced 93 pieces of stone which have been examined for this report. In addition to the more predictable categories of worked stone, such as querns, whetstones and a spindle whorl, this collection is noteworthy for its assemblage of beach pebble tools and also for the ways in which the local slate was utilised. The pebble and slate artefacts comprise the bulk of the material, accounting for 71 of the finds, while another 18 pieces are made from stone imported from slightly further afield. There appear to have been no truly exotic imports of stone to this site.
