Description: | Possible punch made from copper alloy. The object comprises a length of solid copper alloy which tapers from a circular sectioned shaft at the top to a narrow square sectioned shaft at the end. The tip of the punch is sharp but rounded and the wide end is circular and flat with faint radiating markings. The markings do not represent a clear pattern but may have been deliberately applied to the object to provide grip if it was to be used as a punch. Similar iron punches have been found during the excavations of Medieval York and are likely to have been used for leatherworking. The punch measures 87.44mm in length, 9.9mm in diameter (at the widest end) and weighs 30.6g. | 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: | 1400
