Description: | RB Ae fragment of stylus: An expanding-ended eraser with two transverse grooves on either side. The unusual feature is that the whole stylus is very flattened at the collar, implying the shaft was also flattened or that the collar was flattened and then developed into a thin circular shaft. The small size of the eraser suggests a Roman date (although Anglo-Saxon examples can, unusually, be of this size), as does the feel of the flattened collar. The end of the eraser chamfers to a point (in profile). Undatable, although RB seems most likely. | 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
