Description: | Bronze Age awl, 47mm in length and weighing 2.70g.One end is pointed and square in section (2x2mm), widening to a point c.25mm from the pointed and to 5mm wide and 2mm thick. From here to the end, the awl thins to 0.5mm whilst widening to 8.5mm. This end is slightly bent and just below where it begins to thin, small flanges are visible, presumably created by the shape of the tool working the awl.The patina is heavily pitted and very dark brown.Although awls are common in the Bronze Age, it is thought some date to the Roman period.
