Description: | A very worn and corroded cast copper-alloy object, probably an awl of uncertain date. One end of the object is square in section and tapers to a sharp point. The opposite end appears to be cylindrical in form, tapering again to a sharp point. All surfaces have extensive corrosion and pitting, the original patina or surfaces now mostly missing due to post-depositional wear. It measures measures 61.22mm in length, 3.56mm in width, 3.34mm in thickness, and weighs 2.28g. This object is probably a heavily corroded awl. It may date as early as the Bronze Age, although this is uncertain and a date range as late as the Roman period or later cannot be ruled out entirely.
