Description: | A cast copper alloy tool, possibly an awl or chisel. The object is an elongated rectangle in plan with slightly pointed terminals. The majority of the object is square in section, whereas the terminals are multi-faceted. The edges of the object are very square and fresh. The surface of the object has a mid green/grey coloured patina. The object measures 42.89mm long, 3.29mm wide and 3.25mm thick. It weighs 3.2g.
The object is difficult to date, the surface does not suggest a prehistoric date, as these usually have 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 |
