Description: | A lead alloy possible stylus. The object is circular in section with and tapers to a point at one end. The opposite end flares outwards before terminating with a flattened end. The top of the object has a circular drilled hole measuring 4mm in diameter and approximately 3mm in depth. It has a mid-white patina.Lead styli are usually considered to be of medieval date, perhaps used as often for on-site tasks demanding functional literacy as for more formal writing tasks. The object has a mid-white to grey patina and is in fair condition. Styli of this type are known to have been in use from the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods. Therefore, due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely.
