Roman whetstone
Fragment of pebble varying in cross section from sub-circular (at the fracture) to sub-rectangular (at the end). The only truly flat surface, however, is unworn. Apart from this area, the whole surface is worn apart from the end and the fracture; the stone tapers towards the fracture. Although use of such pebbles as whetstones is virtually impossible to prove, the shape and, in particular, the tapering away from the end points towards its use for sharpening.
