Description: | A cast copper alloy tool, possibly an awl of chisel. The object is an elongated rectangle in plan with slightly rounded terminals. In profile the terminals taper to a blunt point. The majority of the object is square in section. The edges of the object are very square and fresh. The object is also bent at c. 50?? towards a terminal. The surface of the object is abraded revealing a matte mottled dark green/grey and there are patches of a thin mid green patina. The object measures 66.44mm long, 3.03mm wide and 3.37mm thick. It weighs 5.7g.
The object is difficult to date, the surface does not suggest a prehistoric date, as these usually has a heavy patina. A similar object (LANCUM-810270) has been recorded from Gloucestershire and the dating is not certain. It possibly dates from the Roman to Post Medieval period, the Post Medieval period is the most likely date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
