A copper-alloy double ended awl, probably of Bronze Age date. This artefact has a lozenge shape of 58.2mm length and maximum width of 5.7mm tapering to a point at both ends (rounded point at one end and a flattened point at the other). The cross-section is sub-square at the centre with a thickness of 5.4mm that also tapers towards the pointed terminals. One of the terminals retains the sub-square cross-section, becoming rectangular at the very tip, but the other terminal gains a more circular cross-section for approximately the last 8.7mm of the length. Weight is 6.42g. Awls were a r…
