Description: | An incomplete copper alloy artefact, possibly a stylus, of possible Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410).The artefact consists of a flat triangular end, attached to a circular sectioned shaft. The other end exhibits an old, post depositional break. A couple of small U shaped grooves are present towards the triangular end.It measures 47.6 mm in length, 8.6 mm wide and 4.9 mm thick. It weighs 5.1 g.The artefact is a mid brown colour, with an even surface patina.The artefact bears a resemblance to a stylus, but it is not consistent with that as an identification. A similar possible stylus or possible cosmetic spoon has been recorded on the PAS database as SUSS-487895.
