Description: | A probable Early Medieval stylus dating from AD 600 - 1200, but most likely to be from AD 700 - 900. Only the eraser and small length of shaft survive. The eraser is flat and triangular. It measures 17.8mm long, 10.3mm wide and 1.3mm thick. The shaft is circular in cross-section and has a diameter of 3.3mm. There is possibly a very faint moulded collar between the eraser and the shaft. The rest of the stylus is missing and the break is patinated. The object is 38mm long, 10.3mm wide and 3.3mm thick. 2.13g.A complate example on the PAS database is LIN-F3576C. Styli are also discussed in the PAS Finds Recording Guide (Geake, 2001) on page 62. A Roman date cannot be entirely ruled out.
