1. The research presented in this paper was conducted with funds provided by Bryn Mawr College. A Hanna Holborn Gray undergraduate student fellowship permitted Ms. Marta Sobur to play a key role in the research project. A version of this paper was presented at a softstone study day at the British Museum in July, 2004. We would like to thank Dr. St John Simpson for inviting one of us (PM) to attend that function. Previous drafts of this paper were read and commented upon by Dr. Lloyd Weeks (University of Nottingham) who made many useful comments. Any errors remain the responsibility of the authors.
