Iron Age and Roman Quern Production at Lodsworth, West Sussex, by D. P. S. Peacock, published March 1987 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 67 issue 1, article, pp.61-85) View Online
Abstract:This paper describes the discovery, by geological and archaeological fieldwork, of a major Iron Age and Roman quern quarry which was supplying much of south-east and south-midland England. The debitage from the site is described and the chronological development of querns from the quarry assessed in the light of material found on habitation sites. It is argued that production reached a peak the first century A.D. The broad distribution of Lodsworth products during the Iron Age, and to a lesser extent during the Roman period, is discussed.
