Description: | An incomplete copper alloy awl of probable Late Bronze Age date (c.1000 - 801BC). The awl commences in an old break and is square in cross-section, with slightly faceted slies. It becomes cylindrical in cross-section part way along its length and tapers to a point. One face exhibits a longitudinal scratch or groove. It has a smooth dark green patina. The awl measures 39.49mm in length, 3.91mm in width and 3.67mm in thickness at the square end, 4.42mm maximum diameter, tapering to 1.48mm. It weighs 3.29g.Although there is some debate as to the dating of this type of awl, they seem to have first appeared in the Late Bronze Age, but may date to a later period.Cf. BH-DDFA26, WILT-3563FA, WILT-AC0DAA & WILT-262D48 for similar examples on the database.
