Title
Bronze Age awl
Description
English: Cast copper alloy awl/tracer. The centre of the awl, which is circular in cross-section, measures 4.7mm in diameter. It tapers, gradually at first then increasingly, to a circular sectioned point at one end (awl end). The other end is squared off just beyond the mid point then tapers to a rectangular sectioned point (tracer end). It is 44.2mm long and weighs 3.51 grams.

Plain copper alloy awls are hard to date precisely but ones of this form are known to have been introduced in the Bronze Age (2150-800 BC) with most being Late Bronze Age in date (1150-800 BC).
