==Introduction==
Finds of wooden spoons were non existent until the two decorated examples from the Clifford Street excavation in York were found in the 1950's. Now we have a number of examples including a large number from Novgorod, Russia. [MORRIS 2000:p.2267]. Some wooden spoons would have been home made but others show signs of possibly being made in specialist workshops [MORRIS 2000:p.2268].<br>
Spoons would have served a number of uses from day-to-day eating utensils to small Roman style toilet spoons used for removing ear wax or possibly measuring out cosmetics [MAINMAN and ROGERS 2000:p.2547]<br>
