Description: | Late Bronze Age cast copper alloy chisel. Such chisels are generally thought to be wood working tools. It has a rectangular sectioned tang with a rounded end, the other end widens and flatterned into the blade which ends with an uneven curve suggesting it was broken in the past.The chisel is 59.1mm long, 19.2mm wide and 3.1mm thick; it weighs 8.68 grams.The chisel was found on the beach hence it's unusal patina and worn state. It was found over 20 years ago with a hoard of other items including axes which were previously on display in Arundel Museum. A collection of rough pieces of copper alloy were also found in the same area and may or maynot be related (SUSS-013803).
