Description: | Cast copper-alloy awl. The awl has one end which tapers to a point and is circular in section, the centre of the shaft is bulbous and irregular in section whilst the other end flattens to a blunt edge and is rectangular in section. Awls were used as a tool for piercing and scoring material such as leather. Such tools are known to occur in the Roman period but many are thought to be of Bronze Age date.Due to the high level of associated Roman material it is possible that this is of Roman date but material from all periods, including prehistoric, have also been found in the same location.Dated as c.2500-700 BC or c.100-400 AD
