Description
English: A copper alloy Late Bronze Age awl dating to the period 1150 - 800 BC. The awl is elongated and has four broadly rectangular facets tapering slightly to both ends. It is almost square in cross section and its widest point is approximately at the centre of it. One of the end has a pointed tip, circular in cross-section and probably used to pierce leather and similar materials. The other end is rounded and D-shaped in cross section. The awl is smooth, udecorated and covered with a green patina. It measures 49.24mm in length, 3.64mm in width, 3.42 mm thick and weighs 3.41g.

A similar awl is illustrated in Read B. (2001), p. 94, no. 694. Similar awls are also recorded on PAS database as SWYOR-220A7C, LEIC-1EA9CB and SUR-660898 and WILT-BBA285.
