Description: | A cast copper-alloy awl or tracer of possible Bronze Age date. The artefact has a thin body with square cross-section that tapers to a point at one end. At the other the 'tang' narrows to a point. This point end has been bent away from the tip. The awl has a variable mid/dark-green patina. It measures 64.0mm (length) x 4.4mm (max. width) x 4.3mm (max. thickness) and weighs 4.32g.Such construction is typical of prehistoric awls which are thought to date from the late Bronze Age.
