Description: | Copper alloy stylus, damaged at the eraser end and very corroded. The shaft appears to be circular in section, tapering slightly towards the eraser; however there are traces of facets suggesting that it might have been octagonal in section. The point, which is 21mm long, is sharply differentiated from the shaft. The eraser end is less sharply defined and consists of a gently broadening flattened area, surviving 16mm long and up to 5.5mm wide. Stylii occur in both Roman and Anglo-Saxon contexts; although Roman examples are commonly iron the shape, particularly of the point, is more like Roman than Anglo-Saxon ones (as illustrated in Webster & Backhouse 1991) and would correspond to Manning type 2A in iron. | 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: | 43
