Wax artefacts and medieval burial Any information on beeswax objects - unworked pieces or artefacts, AND ON GRAVE CHALICES OF ANY MATERIAL - recovered from medieval Christian burials in Britain and mainland Europe would be gratefully received. The Archaeology Section of the City Museum and Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, have conducted excavations at the Cistercian monastery of Hulton Abbey, Stoke-on-Trent, most recently (1987-1994) under the direction of Bill Klemperer. These have uncovered 2 wax objects in graves: one is a seal from a document, the other a wax chalice. Thankyou Debbie Ford, Senior Assistant Keeper of Archaeology City Museum and Art gallery Stoke-on-Trent.
