Description: | An incomplete bronze tracer/awl,of probable Bronze Age or later date. It measures 92.69mm in surviving length, 3.9mm in width and weighs 7.42g. The chisel end has a rectangular section and is 4.88mm wide, the tip showing signs of wear. The pointed terminal, though slightly rounded, is quite sharp and has a slightly faceted sub-circular cross-section. The surfaces are patinated dark green.
This awl is likely to date to the Bronze Age, and similar examples are illustrated by Pendleton. However, the form does not change very much through time, and could date to the Roman period or possibly later. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
