Description: | A cast copper-alloy tracer awl of probable Bronze Age date. One end of the awl is square in section and triangular in profile tapering to a sharp point. The opposite end of the awl is cylindrical in form, slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and tapers to a sharp point. It has a pitted dark brown patina. The entire object measures 64.04mm in length, 4.43mm in width/diameter, and weighs 4.38g. This awl is likely to be Bronze Age in date, although the form does not change much through time and similar objects are also noted in the Roman period and possibly later.
