A Prehistoric \u2013 Roman copper alloy awl, probably dating 800BC-AD410. The awl tapers to a point at one end and a flattened curved (spatulate) end at the other, the mid-section has a square cross-section. The spatulate end is bent to one side probably due to damage. The copper alloy has a roughened surface and a dark green patina.<\/p>\n
Sally Worrell suggested a broad date range of Bronze Age to Roman and thought it was probably from the Iron Age \u2013 Roman period.<\/p>\n
