Description: | A cast copper alloy probable chisel of uncertain date, possibly Roman to Medieval in date.The chisel is 49.8 mm in length, 7.3mm at the widest point at the top of the head of the chisel and 4.2 mm thick on the tang and chisel head, narrowing to 1.6 mm at the cutting edge and weighs 5.0 grams. The head of the chisel tapers towards the front cutting edge, part of which is missing. The chisel has a rich deep green patina. Chisels of this type are used throughout the period suggested, therefore they are difficult to date outside secure archaeological contexts.
