Object type: STYLUS
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead stylus, tapering to a point at one end. There is ridging along the body caused during manufacture. Stylus were used from the Roman period through until the Post-medieval and so it is difficult to assign a date to them. There have been a small number of Roman finds from this field, as well as medieval and post-medieval finds.
