An incomplete Bronze Age copper alloy awl dating to circa 1200-800 BC. It is flat-tipped and flat in cross-section at the tang end, gradually becoming rectangular-sectioned in the middle section and finally pointed at the functional end, which terminates in an ancient break.  Copper-alloy awls are generally thought of as Late Bronze Age in date.

A copper-alloy Bronze Age to Medieval copper-alloy awl 1250 BC-AD 1500. It consists of four straight sides, rectangular in section. Its midpoint is bulbous and the awl tapers inwards terminating in rounded points at each end. The awl is plain. Plain copper alloy awls are hard to date precisely but examples of this form are thought to have been introduced in the Bronze Age and they have barely changed throughout the centuries.

A copper-alloy fragment probably of a Bronze Age to Medieval awl, dating to 1150 BC - AD 1450. The shank has a rectangular cross-section and tapers and thins towards a chisel-shaped end. The surfaces are moderately worn and covered by a light green patina. Small awls and tools of this type were used for an extensive period of time, as such dating the object more accurately is difficult. Cf with SF-C1752A and SF-1DAE70 on the PAS database.

A copper-alloy fragment probably of a Bronze Age to Medieval awl, dating to 1150 BC - AD 1450. The shank has a square cross-section and tapers towards a blunt tip. The surfaces are moderately worn and covered by a dark green patina. Small awls and tools of this type were used for an extensive period of time, as such dating the object more accurately is difficult. Cf with SF-C1752A on the PAS database.

A copper-alloy Bronze Age to Medieval copper-alloy awl 1250 BC-AD 1500. It has a rectangular cross-sectioned which tapers from the centre towards both ends; one end is rounded while the opposite is chisel-shaped. The surfaces are moderately corroded. Plain copper alloy awls are hard to date precisely but examples of this form are thought to have been introduced in the Bronze Age and they have barely changed throughout the centuries. Cf NLM-48A4AA, DOR-03E430, IOW-DA8A9A. Length: 82.12mm Width at the centre: 4.24mm Thickness at the centre: 3.89mm Weight: 7.21

A copper-alloy Bronze Age to Medieval awl, dating to 1500 BC - AD 1200. It consists of a drop-shaped oval cross-sectioned bar, which has the sides of the pointed end slightly bevelled. The surfaces are slightly worn. Cf NLM-47A52D, PUBLIC-E1E3A8, WMID-628A80. The date awls and chisels might be of difficult interpretation as their shape has not radically changed throughout the centuries. Length: 39.44 mm Width: 9.79 mm Thickness: 4.28 mm Weight: 7.53 g

An incomplete copper-alloy possible awl dating to the Late Bronze Age. it is sub-square in cross section and tapers gradually towards one broken end; the opposite end has signs of old breaks as well. The possible awl is pitted and bent towards the thinner end due to recent damage. The date is 1150-800 BC. Length: 78.38 mm Width: 5.39 mm Thickness: 4.75 mm Weight: 8.81 g

Workflow stage: Published
A complete copper alloy awl, probably of late Bronze Age date. The shaft is sub-rectangular in section and tapers towards either end. One end is pointed, whilst the other is chisel shaped. It survives in poor condition with a corroded surface. It is difficult to date Bronze Age awls precisely. Ben Roberts (pers. comm.) suggests that they are likely to date to later in the period. The form changes little throughout time, however, and much later examples are also known. Many similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database, including SWYOR-220A7C from Yorkshire, HAMP-D070D5 fr…
