Description: | A copper-alloy awl of probable late Bronze Age date.The artefact is of rectangular section, on one side tapering to a point, on the other to a wedge-shaped terminal. The side ending in the wedge has been bent halfway along, forming an angle of approximately 45 degrees. It seems likely, given the regular nature of the bend, that it represents a deliberate adaptation of the tool.The artefact has a dark blueish-green patina and is corroded. It measures 66.3mm long, 5.6mm wide (at the centre point) and weighs 6.53g.
