Description: | Late Bronze Age chisel, length 94mm, surface heavily pitted. The chiselling end is thin, flat and slightly broken through wear. It gently tapers for c.30mm, when it flares outwards to create a shoulder. From here it tapers inwards again to a very sharp point which would have been encased in a wooden handle. The pitted surface is probably a casting occurrence as the level of corrosion apparent down one side of the object would appear all over the object if the pitting were due to corrosion. This also suggests the object was not finished. Max thickness 4mm, width of chiselling end 9mm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -1050
