Description: | A copper-alloy awl of possible Bronze Age date.The widest point of the awl is a short distance past its halfway point, from where it tapers in both directions. One end is rectangular in section terminating in a sharp point, the other end is flattened and curved at the end. The surface has a green patina.Dimensions: 58.39mm long and 4.40mm wide. Weight: 5.16g.There is some debate as to the date of such awls, which probably first appeared in the Late Bronze Age but could conceivably have continued to have been made until much later. The patination of this piece does suggest a possible prehistoric date.
