MARKING TOOL

Unique ID: LANCUM-D0C5C2

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Rough tool made from cast lead - probably an awl or chisel. Lead or leaded bronze would be an unusual choice for a tool but it is possible that the tool was meant for leather work or decorating pottery. The blade is very narrow and used to be quite fine; it is slightly damaged now.
